Roof replacement in Welshpool

Re-roofing a house in Welshpool starts with what is on it. Slate dominates the town centre, with some Welsh slate roofs well over a century old, while the estates carry concrete tiles and there are plenty of felt and fibreglass flat roofs on extensions. Tell us about yours and we pass the enquiry to one roofer who covers Welshpool and the villages around it, who visits and gives you a written price.

What a Welshpool roofer expects to find

Slate dominates the town centre, with some Welsh slate roofs well over a century old, while the estates carry concrete tiles and there are plenty of felt and fibreglass flat roofs on extensions. 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

The town is on the floodplain and gets the same Severn valley westerlies as Newtown, with the Long Mountain and the Breidden hills taking some of the worst of it.

Planning and materials in Welshpool

The town centre is a conservation area and a number of buildings along Broad Street are listed, so any re-roof there needs matching slate and the council may want to see the specification. 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 Welshpool

Send us the address, the age of the house and what the roof is doing. We pass it to a local roofer who works Welshpool and the villages around it, including Guilsfield, Forden, Berriew, Buttington, and they arrange to look and quote in writing. Using the service costs nothing.

From the houses around the Montgomery Canal wharf to the farms out towards Forden, the same firm covers the lot.
