Commercial and industrial roofing

The kinds of roof we see

Commercial stock in South Wales and nationwide is a mix: profiled metal and fibre-cement sheeted roofs, built-up and single-ply flat membranes, older felt decks, and pitched tile or slate on high-street and office buildings. Cut-edge corrosion, failed rooflights, leaking gutters on long industrial eaves and ponding on large decks are all familiar problems. Each system is surveyed as itself, not treated as a house roof at a larger scale.

Access and occupied buildings

A unit that is still trading, a yard with vehicle movement, or a town-centre shop with a public pavement all change how the work is done. We talk about working hours, access equipment, welfare and how to keep the inside dry while a section is open. That planning is part of the quotation.

Scope, not day rates with no end

Commercial work needs a written scope: the elevations or bays included, the system proposed, known exclusions, and any items that can only be confirmed once coverings come off. We would rather list those uncertainties than hide them in a loose day rate.

Photographs and drawings help

If you have a roof plan, a previous specification, or clear photographs of the elevations and problem areas, send them with the postcode and a note on programme. For larger or higher roofs a site visit is usually essential before a firm figure.
