In November, a place of worship in Wrexham underwent a roof replacement.

St Mary’s Church, situated in Minera, Wrexham, has been shut for nearly the past year, to put a stop to moisture spoilage from heavy rainfall.

The works cost around £170,000, conducted by Grosvenor Construction and the job was supervised by the Church Committee. The works were also backed by the National Churches Trust, along with the James Pantyfedwen Foundation.

Carol Douglas-Jones, a member of St Mary’s Church stated the following: “The church was in urgent need of a new roof to safeguard the interior and halt the damage being done by water ingress.” “Scaffolding surrounded the church for almost a year while the work took place, and regular services moved temporarily to Christ Church at Bwlchgwyn.”

“We are delighted that the church is back open now and we are planning a series of fundraising events to fully re-decorate the church inside.”

“Our Flower Festival in Summer 2024 raised almost £3,000.”

“In December we have a Christmas workshop open to anyone wanting to create their own Table or Door wreath.”

The Confederation of Roofing Contractors (CORC) believe that by selecting one of our members, you are ensuring that your contractor has been checked and vetted and has the correct insurances.

Below are some of the most frequently asked questions we receive:

Do I need to notify building regulations?

Building regulations need to be contacted by the homeowner if 25% or more of your roof is being worked on. The Confederation of Roofing Contractors (CORC) recommend giving building regulations a call as they will give you an answer over the phone straight away in regards to them having to come out. To contact building regulations call your local council and ask to speak to them.

Can my contractor start the job straight away?

Your contractor should give you a 14 day cooling off period document before any work is started. This gives the customer 14 days to cancel any works with no fees. The contractor cannot start work at any point during those 14 days. If you need the roofer to start earlier than 14 days or you have a problem which needs fixing sooner then you can sign a waiver form which waives your rights to the 14 day process and the roofer can start work immediately.
