Roof replacement in Tregaron

Tregaron is a small upland market town on the edge of Cors Caron, the great bog, with stone houses around the square and hill farms running up into the Cambrian Mountains behind it. 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 Tregaron and quotes it in writing.

The roofs in Tregaron

Tregaron is a small upland market town on the edge of Cors Caron, the great bog, with stone houses around the square and hill farms running up into the Cambrian Mountains behind it. Slate on the town and the old farmhouses, sheet roofs on the modern farm buildings, and long distances between jobs.

Built for the Tregaron weather

It is high, wet and cold in winter, with the Abergwesyn mountain road behind it and snow that the coast never sees. 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

No conservation area in the town itself, but Cors Caron is a National Nature Reserve and the farms around it fall under agri-environment schemes that can affect how buildings are altered. 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 Tregaron roofer. A firm that covers Tregaron, Pontrhydfendigaid, Llanddewi Brefi, Ystrad Meurig, Bronant 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 Henry Richard statue in the square or out towards Pontrhydfendigaid, the roofer we pass it to knows the streets and the access.
