Slate re-roofing in Llandrindod Wells
Welsh slate re-roofing in Llandrindod Wells: original slate graded and re-laid, new slate matched. One local roofer, a written quote, free to use.
Slate is the roof Llandrindod Wells was built with. Llandrindod Wells is a Victorian spa town built almost in one go in the late nineteenth century: tall villas, former hotels, terraces of red and yellow brick with ornate gables, and later council and private estates around the edge. Tell us about the roof and we pass the enquiry to one local roofer who works in natural slate and quotes in writing.
What the job involves
- Strip and grade the existing slate, re-laying the sound originals
- Inspect rafters, wall plates and valley boards, with a stated timber allowance
- Breathable membrane and treated battens gauged to the slate
- New Welsh or Spanish slate to make up the numbers, source named on the quote
- Ridges, hips and verges bedded or dry-fixed for the exposure
- Flashings, valleys and chimney trays renewed while the scaffold is up
Exposure in Llandrindod Wells
It sits high, at around 200 metres, and gets colder, wetter winters than the border towns, with frost and snow that lift slates and crack old mortar. BS 5534 sets the headlap and fixings by exposure, and Llandrindod Wells sits in a demanding category, so ask the roofer what they have specified.
Slate and the planning position
A large part of the Victorian town is a conservation area, and the elaborate roofs are part of what the designation protects.
How it works

A large part of the Victorian town is a conservation area, and the elaborate roofs are part of what the designation protects. Outside those constraints it is your choice, and many roofers lay Welsh on the front and Spanish on the back.
