Roof replacement in Llandrindod Wells

Llandrindod Wells is a Victorian spa town built almost in one go in the late nineteenth century: tall villas, former hotels, terraces of red and yellow brick with ornate gables, and later council and private estates around the edge. When one of those roofs reaches the end, a full re-roof is a strip, inspect and re-cover job, and we put you in touch with a local roofer who does that work in Llandrindod Wells and quotes it in writing.

The roofs in Llandrindod Wells

Llandrindod Wells is a Victorian spa town built almost in one go in the late nineteenth century: tall villas, former hotels, terraces of red and yellow brick with ornate gables, and later council and private estates around the edge. The Victorian roofs are steep Welsh slate with decorative ridges, turrets, dormers and long runs of lead valley, which is why the town keeps roofers busy with leadwork and chimney repairs as well as re-roofs.

Built for the Llandrindod Wells weather

It sits high, at around 200 metres, and gets colder, wetter winters than the border towns, with frost and snow that lift slates and crack old mortar. A re-roof here is specified for that, with more fixings and a bigger headlap than the same roof would need in a sheltered English town.

What the council will expect

A large part of the Victorian town is a conservation area, and the elaborate roofs are part of what the designation protects. Building Regulations apply to any roof re-covered over half its area, and a competent-person-scheme installer can self-certify.

How it works

1. You tell us about the roof. The street or village, the age of the house, and what it is doing. Photographs from the ground help.
2. We pass it to one Llandrindod Wells roofer. A firm that covers Llandrindod Wells, Howey, Crossgates, Newbridge-on-Wye, Llanyre and the district, not a list of ten.
3. They visit and quote in writing. With the timber allowance, the leadwork and the slate source set out. No charge for the enquiry, no obligation on the quote.

Whether the house is near the Lake or out towards Howey, the roofer we pass it to knows the streets and the access.
