Roof replacement in Presteigne

Re-roofing a house in Presteigne starts with what is on it. Slate on the Georgian buildings, some stone tile on the oldest, and a lot of old roof timbers that need a careful look before anything is stripped. Tell us about yours and we pass the enquiry to one roofer who covers Presteigne and the villages around it, who visits and gives you a written price.

What a Presteigne roofer expects to find

Slate on the Georgian buildings, some stone tile on the oldest, and a lot of old roof timbers that need a careful look before anything is stripped. 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 Radnor hills, it has a milder climate than the towns to the west, but the old buildings suffer from slow leaks rather than storm damage.

Planning and materials in Presteigne

The whole town centre is a conservation area with a high density of listed buildings, so most roof work needs like-for-like materials and some needs listed building consent. 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 Presteigne

Send us the address, the age of the house and what the roof is doing. We pass it to a local roofer who works Presteigne and the villages around it, including Norton, Kington, New Radnor, Whitton, and they arrange to look and quote in writing. Using the service costs nothing.

From the houses around the Radnorshire Arms to the farms out towards Kington, the same firm covers the lot.
