Apartment construction is driving a major shift in British roofing demand. The ONS New Dwelling Completions Q4 2025 release shows apartment completions are growing significantly faster than houses.

Why This Matters for Roofing
Apartment roofs are usually flat or low‑slope, which means:
- Greater focus on membrane systems (EPDM, TPO, GRP)
- More intensive drainage and waterproofing needs
- Higher‑value maintenance contracts
- Increased demand for roof access safety compliance
If you manage or own an apartment block, proactive flat‑roof inspections can prevent expensive leaks and emergency repairs.
