A roof replacement, or re-roof, strips the old tiles or slates, battens and felt from a pitched roof and replaces them with a new breathable membrane, battens and covering, repairing timbers and renewing ridges, valleys and flashings at the same time.
Whatever prompted you to look into a new roof, whether wear and tear, a growing family or plans to move, we can survey your Rhosllannerchrugog home and give you a price in writing. Homes in Wales typically come in at £6,400–£14,000, VAT included, for this kind of work. We also cover Wrexham, Brymbo and Oswestry, and the same steps apply wherever you are in Clwyd.

Homes in Clwyd
Wrexham has Victorian terraces in red Ruabon brick, alongside interwar and post-war estates. The north coast resorts of Rhyl, Prestatyn and Colwyn Bay have Victorian villas, guest-house terraces and bungalows, while Denbighshire and Flintshire villages use local stone under Welsh slate roofs.
The north Wales coast is exposed to wind and salt from the Irish Sea, and the Clwydian hills inland are wetter and colder.
In Rhosllannerchrugog, as elsewhere in Clwyd, we take the building's age and construction into account before recommending anything, because both can change what is involved in a new roof.
Do you need permission in Rhosllannerchrugog?
For anyone in Rhosllannerchrugog, the relevant framework is Wales's. The summary below is general, so we always contact the council about your address before putting a price in writing.
Re-roofing with similar materials does not usually need planning permission in Wales, except on listed buildings or where a conservation area restricts materials.
Building Regulations in Wales apply to major re-roofing, including insulation upgrades. Bats are protected across the UK; if they roost under roof tiles, soffits or fascias, work stops and a licensed ecologist advises before it restarts.
Rules change and every property is different, so we check the planning history and constraints for your address before we quote.
What happens after you get in touch?
A visit to your home
A free survey comes first. It gives us what we need to price a new roof properly, including dimensions, existing materials and access for deliveries, and gives you the chance to ask anything you like.
Your fixed price
The quote arrives in writing, not over the phone. It covers the full scope, the finishes you've chosen, any exclusions and the payment schedule, with a fixed price tied to that specification.
Getting ready
Once you accept, we agree start dates, order materials and deal with any planning, building control or neighbour notices the job needs. You'll know who is coming and when before work begins.
The work itself
The job proceeds in the order set out in the programme, with dust and debris kept under control. Finally we tidy away, inspect the work together and pass the finished project over to you with its paperwork.
How we work
Common questions
How long does a roof replacement take?
Re-roofing a typical semi-detached house takes around one to two weeks once scaffolding is up, depending on the roof's size, complexity and the weather. Smaller terraced roofs can take a few days. Scaffolding usually goes up a day or two before work starts and comes down once everything is inspected. We give you a programme and keep the roof weathertight overnight.
Can my old tiles or slates be reused?
Old tiles or slates can sometimes be reused if they are sound, which can help keep the look of a period house. Many older concrete tiles and some slates are porous, cracked or have failing fixing nibs, so they would not last. Reclaimed slates or tiles can make up shortfalls. We check a sample during the survey and explain the cost difference.
What happens at the survey?
We visit your home at a time that suits you, look at the area involved, take measurements and check access, condition and any services that might be affected. We talk through what you want from a new roof, explain the options and answer questions. There is no charge and no obligation; afterwards we send a written quote.
How much does a new roof cost?
Re-roofing a typical 3-bed semi costs £6,400–£14,000, including scaffolding, new membrane and battens. As a guide, allow roughly £70–£160 per square metre of roof plus fixed costs for scaffolding and waste. Concrete tiles sit at the lower end and natural slate at the top. Hips, valleys, chimneys and timber repairs add to the price. We confirm a fixed figure after inspecting the roof and loft.
Do I need planning permission in Rhosllannerchrugog?
It depends on the work, the size of the project, your property type and whether the building is listed or in a conservation area. Rhosllannerchrugog is in Wales, so Wales's rules apply. Many smaller jobs need no planning application, but some still need building control approval. We check what applies to your address before quoting.
