Roof replacement in Montgomery
Full re-roofs in Montgomery and the surrounding villages. Tell us about the roof and we put you in touch with a local roofer who visits and quotes in writing.
Re-roofing a house in Montgomery starts with what is on it. Slate throughout the town, on steep Georgian pitches with parapets and valleys that need lead, and plenty of agricultural roofs on the farms around. Tell us about yours and we pass the enquiry to one roofer who covers Montgomery and the villages around it, who visits and gives you a written price.
What a Montgomery roofer expects to find
Slate throughout the town, on steep Georgian pitches with parapets and valleys that need lead, and plenty of agricultural roofs on the farms around. On the older houses the timbers have usually been wet at some point, so a re-roof quote should carry a stated allowance for rafter-end and wall-plate repair rather than a figure that grows once the slates are off.
Exposure
Sheltered by the castle hill on one side and open to the Severn valley on the other, it is drier than the western towns but still gets the winter storms off the hills.
Planning and materials in Montgomery
The whole town centre is a conservation area and a high proportion of the buildings are listed, so materials are watched closely. Like-for-like re-roofing is normally permitted development; a change of material or colour on a visible slope is where consent can be needed, and the roofer should raise it before quoting.
Getting a quote in Montgomery
Send us the address, the age of the house and what the roof is doing. We pass it to a local roofer who works Montgomery and the villages around it, including Chirbury, Churchstoke, Abermule, Kerry, and they arrange to look and quote in writing. Using the service costs nothing.
From the houses around the Town Hall to the farms out towards Churchstoke, the same firm covers the lot.
- One local roofer, not a list of ten
- A written price with the timber allowance and the leadwork set out
- Roofers who know natural slate and the planning rules that come with it
- Free to use, with no obligation once the quote arrives
