Roofing guide
Commercial Roofing
Commercial roofs can include large flat membranes, profiled metal sheets, composite panels, built-up systems and pitched coverings. The priority is safe drainage, reliable junction detailing and minimising disruption to the building below.
How it works
A commercial roof survey should consider condition, water ingress, drainage, penetrations, insulation, rooflights, access and maintenance requirements. Repairs can be targeted or incorporated into a planned replacement programme.
Important: The right specification depends on the property, roof pitch, exposure, structure and existing roof condition. A site inspection is the best way to confirm the correct system.

What affects the lifespan of a roof?
Material quality matters, but installation and detailing are equally important. Roof pitch, wind exposure, ventilation, drainage, fixings, junction details and routine maintenance all influence how a roof performs over time.
Signs you may need an inspection
- Recurring leaks or damp marks
- Slipped, cracked or missing tiles or slates
- Daylight visible through the roof space
- Deteriorated flashing around chimneys or walls
- Sagging areas or uneven roof lines
