Which flat roofs are common in Wrexham?

Local weather shapes the specification. Wales averages roughly 1,460 mm of rain a year, among the wettest in Britain, so we design for steady run-off: proper falls, clear outlets and upstands well above the finished roof. Across Wrexham, flat roofs are typically found on shops with flat-roofed rear stores below flats, 1960s and 1970s link-detached houses with flat-roofed garages and porches and newer estates where the first extension roofs are now being replaced. Approximate 1991–2020 regional averages based on Met Office data.

Which flat roof jobs do we take on in Wrexham?

Extension and kitchen roofs

Extension roofs in Wrexham are often replaced because the original was built cheaply: thin chipboard decks, little or no insulation and felt turned up the wall without a proper flashing. Twenty or thirty years on, those weaknesses show up as leaks at the back wall and a cold, damp ceiling.

Balconies and roof terraces

Balconies in Wrexham are often re-waterproofed when the ceiling below starts to stain. On many older balconies, the membrane was laid under tiles or screed with no way to inspect it, so by the time the leak appears, water may have been tracking under the surface for a long time.

Single-ply membrane roofing

If a flat roof in Wrexham has poor falls and ponding, a single-ply re-roof with tapered insulation can correct both problems at once. The tapered boards build the fall into the insulation, and the membrane is laid over the top, with outlets set at the new low points.

Building regulations in Wales

The Welsh Approved Document L applies. Renovating more than half of a roof over a heated room means upgrading it to around 0.16 W/m²K where feasible, and new extension roofs are built to 0.13 W/m²K. Welsh Government guidance is that most re-roofing needs building control approval, so check whenever more than a quarter of a roof is replaced or repaired. We deal with the application as part of the job. More on the rules.
