Roof replacement in Llanwrtyd Wells

It is high and wet, on the edge of the Cambrian Mountains, and the snow and ice that come with that are hard on old slate and mortar. That is the climate a new roof in Llanwrtyd Wells 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 Llanwrtyd Wells; they look at the roof and quote in writing.

Housing and roof stock

Llanwrtyd Wells is often called the smallest town in Britain, a former spa on the Irfon with Victorian villas and terraces along the main road and hill farms in every direction.

Slate on the Victorian buildings, many of them large and steep, and sheet roofs on the farms.

Weather and exposure

It is high and wet, on the edge of the Cambrian Mountains, and the snow and ice that come with that are hard on old slate and mortar. 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

There is no conservation area, but the Victorian spa buildings are what give the town its character and most owners want the slate kept.

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 Llanwrtyd Wells 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 Llanwrtyd Wells itself and the district around it, from the Neuadd Arms out to Beulah.
