Re-roofing in Newtown

Covering Newtown

Alongside Newtown, we also cover Welshpool (12 miles to the north-east), Llandrindod Wells and Builth Wells.

Because Powys covers a wide area, we confirm availability after the first call and include any travel costs in the written quote rather than adding them later.

Homes in Powys

Across Wales you find valley terraces, coastal towns, rural stone houses and newer estates, so access, slopes and local materials all feature in the design.

What do you get with re-roofing?

Re-roofing means stripping a pitched roof back to the rafters and replacing the membrane, battens, tiles or slates, ridge and flashings. It is needed when a roof covering reaches the end of its life, and it is the right time to improve loft insulation.

Strip old covering and check timbers
Breathable membrane and new battens
Fascias, soffits and guttering if required

Planning and building rules in Newtown

Planning decisions in Wales are made by the local council, using permitted development rules set by the Welsh Government rather than England’s. Building regulations in Wales have their own approved documents, and the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 applies to work on shared walls and boundaries.

Like-for-like re-roofing does not usually need planning permission in Wales, except on listed buildings and in some conservation areas.

What can affect re-roofing?

Neighbouring roofs on semis and terraces need careful junction details.
Insulation upgrades at the same time can cut heat loss significantly.
