Which flat roofs are common in Wrexham?
Flat roofs in Wrexham sit on bungalows with flat-roofed side extensions and dormers, newer estates where the first extension roofs are now being replaced and shops with flat-roofed rear stores below flats. 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. Approximate 1991–2020 regional averages based on Met Office data.
Building regulations in Wales
Welsh guidance is that most re-roofing needs building control approval, so it's worth checking whenever more than a quarter of a roof is replaced or repaired. Renovated roofs are upgraded to around 0.16 W/m²K where feasible, and new extension roofs are built to 0.13 W/m²K under the Welsh Approved Document L. In Wrexham the application goes to Wrexham County Borough Council. More on the rules.
What insulation and approvals does a single-ply re-roof need?
On a heated building, a full single-ply re-roof usually triggers the thermal-element rules, so insulation should be brought towards the renovation standard where feasible. In England that is 0.18 W/m²K for non-domestic and 0.16 W/m²K for domestic roofs, with Wales and Northern Ireland setting their own figures; Scottish roofs follow Section 6 of the building standards, and the council confirms whether a building warrant is required.
Single-ply suits a warm roof well, and tapered insulation can correct poor falls at the same time. A thicker build-up raises the roof, so we check upstand heights, door thresholds and rooflight kerbs at survey. Near boundaries, the external fire classification of the tested build-up can matter. We handle building control or building standards where needed; see the building regulations page.
How long does a single-ply roof last, and what guarantee comes with it?
A well-installed single-ply roof typically lasts 25 to 35 years or more. Its life depends mostly on the quality of the welds, the fixing pattern, protection from foot traffic and keeping outlets clear.
Signs of trouble on an older single-ply roof include seams lifting at the edges, shrinkage pulling at upstands and corners, punctures near plant, and loose fixings under the membrane on windy sites.
Manufacturer guarantees are available on many specified single-ply systems, and they often depend on a registered build-up, an inspection and sometimes an approved installer. Where the system allows, we complete that registration on your behalf. On every re-roof you also receive our written workmanship guarantee, with the length set out in the quote, and you can ask about insurance-backed options. See the guarantees guide and maintenance guide for more.

Can single-ply be used on a house?
Yes. It can be used on garages, extensions and dormers, usually adhered rather than mechanically fixed. On small domestic roofs, though, EPDM or GRP is often more economical.
What is the difference between PVC and TPO roofing?
Both are thermoplastic single-ply membranes welded with hot air. PVC contains plasticisers and usually needs separating from bitumen, while TPO and FPO are polyolefin-based; the right one depends on the roof and the system specified.
Can single-ply roofing be laid over an existing roof?
Sometimes, if the existing roof and deck are dry and sound, often with a separation layer or new insulation on top. Wet insulation or a damaged deck means stripping first.
