Roof replacement in Llanidloes

It is one of the wettest towns in Powys, high in the Severn headwaters below Plynlimon, and the rain comes across the Cambrian Mountains with real force. That is the climate a new roof in Llanidloes has to stand up to, and it shapes the specification a good roofer will give you. We pass your enquiry to one local firm that re-roofs houses in Llanidloes; they look at the roof and quote in writing.

Housing and roof stock

Llanidloes is the first town on the Severn, a small stone-built market town of terraces and Georgian and Victorian frontages around the half-timbered Old Market Hall, with a few modern estates on the edges.

Almost all of the older town is natural slate, much of it original, on stone-walled houses with substantial chimneys that have taken a century of weather.

Weather and exposure

It is one of the wettest towns in Powys, high in the Severn headwaters below Plynlimon, and the rain comes across the Cambrian Mountains with real force. The exposure category decides the headlap, the fixing pattern and whether the ridges are mortar-bedded or dry-fixed, and it is worth asking the roofer which category they have priced for.

Conservation, listing and the national park

The historic centre is a conservation area, and the Old Market Hall and several buildings around it are listed.

One roofer, one written price

We do not sell your details to a list of firms. Your enquiry goes to a single roofer who covers Llanidloes and the surrounding district, and they visit and quote. If you would rather get a second opinion after that, we can pass it to another.

The roofer covers Llanidloes itself and the district around it, from the Old Market Hall out to Trefeglwys.
