Slate re-roofing in Montgomery
Welsh slate re-roofing in Montgomery: original slate graded and re-laid, new slate matched. One local roofer, a written quote, free to use.
Slate is the roof Montgomery was built with. Montgomery is a small Georgian town below its castle, with brick and rendered houses around Broad Street, older timber-framed buildings behind them and a rural district of farms towards the English border. 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 Montgomery
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. BS 5534 sets the headlap and fixings by exposure, and Montgomery sits in a demanding category, so ask the roofer what they have specified.
Slate and the planning position
The whole town centre is a conservation area and a high proportion of the buildings are listed, so materials are watched closely.
How it works
Tell us the street, the age of the house and what the roof is doing. We pass it to one roofer who re-slates in Montgomery and around Chirbury, Churchstoke, Abermule, Kerry, and they visit and quote. Free to use, no obligation.
- Roofers who grade and re-lay the original Welsh slate rather than skip it
- New slate matched to the old, with the source named on the quote
- Coursing, headlap and fixings set for a coastal or upland roof
- One firm, one written price, free to use

Slate re-roofing in Montgomery: common questions
What does slate re-roofing cost in Montgomery?
MyJobQuote's 2026 guide gives Welsh natural slate at £100 to £150 a square metre installed and Spanish at £70 to £93. Re-laying your own sound slate brings the material cost down. The Montgomery roofer prices the actual roof after looking at it.
Must I use Welsh slate in Montgomery?
The whole town centre is a conservation area and a high proportion of the buildings are listed, so materials are watched closely. Outside those constraints it is your choice, and many roofers lay Welsh on the front and Spanish on the back.
