Overview
Commercial flat roofing covers new installations, full re-roofs, overlays and refurbishment of warehouses, industrial units, offices, retail premises, schools and managed residential blocks, using hot-air welded single-ply from Sika, IKO Armourplan, Danosa and Bauder, or reinforced liquid systems where detailing complexity or hot works restrictions demand it.
Building owners, facilities managers, managing agents, main contractors and tenants with repairing obligations. Anyone responsible for a roof where a failure interrupts operations, damages stock or triggers a dispute.
When the existing covering is at the end of its life, when repeat repairs are no longer holding, when thermal performance needs upgrading, when a building is being refurbished or re-let, or when a planned maintenance programme has flagged the roof for capital works.
Commercial roofing is a logistics problem as much as a roofing one. The roof has to be closed down and weathertight every night, works have to be documented, access and plant have to be coordinated around an operating building, and the finished system has to be specified so it does not come back as a claim. Because flat roofing is the only thing we do, the specification and the phasing get the same attention as the membrane.
What happens if it is left
Water into a working building means damaged stock, unusable floor space, IT and electrical risk and staff disruption, costs that dwarf the roofing bill.
A covering left too long stops being a re-cover and becomes a strip-out, insulation replacement and deck repair, at multiples of the original figure.
Repairing obligations, dilapidations and tenant claims all sharpen quickly once ingress is documented and unaddressed.
Contractors working without RAMS, without asbestos awareness on older stock and without a nightly weathertight position create risk that lands on the building owner.
Our process
Full roof survey with photographic reporting: covering condition, moisture in the build-up, deck type and condition, drainage, details and access constraints.
A defined build-up, vapour control, insulation, tapered falls where needed and the membrane system, with a free, fixed-price quotation. Day rates are available for certain works.
Risk assessments and method statements issued, access and phasing agreed, and the programme set around your operations.
Work carried out in areas that are closed down and weathertight before we leave each day, with welds probed, coverage verified and drainage tested as we go.
Handover with photographic records, a 10-year workmanship guarantee and manufacturer-backed guarantee options where applicable for the specified system.
What you get
Phased works and a nightly weathertight position mean the business below carries on.
RAMS for the works, asbestos awareness training and photographic reporting throughout.
Hot-air welded single-ply and cold-applied liquid systems remove torch-on fire risk from your site.
A re-roof is the moment to improve the build-up, and warm roof specification is included in the quotation.
Fixed-price quotations as standard, agreed commercial payment terms where applicable, and stage payments on larger projects.
10 years on workmanship, with manufacturer-backed guarantees available where applicable.
In detail
Warehouses and industrial units with large profiled metal decks; offices and retail premises with plant, ductwork and rooflights; schools and community buildings where works must fit around occupancy; and managed residential blocks with communal roofs, balconies and access decks. Each brings a different constraint, plant, access, occupancy or resident coordination, and the programme is built around it.
Where the existing build-up is dry and structurally sound, overlaying can deliver a new warranted covering with far less disruption, waste and cost, and often allows a thermal upgrade in the same works. Where moisture has entered the insulation, overlaying is a false economy; the water stays in the roof. The moisture question is settled at survey, with the evidence photographed, before either route is priced.
We provide RAMS for commercial projects, covering access arrangements, edge protection, fragile surfaces such as ageing rooflights, material handling and hot works avoidance. Asbestos awareness training is relevant on older commercial stock, where the presence of asbestos-containing materials has to be established and respected rather than discovered mid-strip.
The controlling rule on an occupied building is that we do not open more roof than we can close. Areas are stripped, re-built and made watertight within the working day, with temporary terminations where needed. That is slower than opening the whole roof, and it is the reason clients get through a re-roof without an internal water incident.
Commercial roofs carry plant, ductwork, cable trays and rooflights, and each is a detail that has to be waterproofed properly rather than worked around. Plant plinths are wrapped or re-detailed, walkway membrane is specified on maintenance routes so foot traffic is not wearing the field sheet, and outlet capacity and overflow provision are checked against the roof area.
Photographic reporting through the works gives owners and managing agents an auditable record of what was found and what was installed, useful for service charge justification, funders and future purchasers. Guarantees are 10 years on workmanship, with manufacturer-backed cover available where applicable depending on the specified system. Payment is by bank transfer, with deposits and stage payments on larger projects and agreed commercial terms where applicable.

Common questions
Each project is quoted individually after survey, deck type, moisture in the build-up, insulation, access, plant and phasing all move the figure. Quotations are free and fixed price as standard, and day rates are available for certain works.
Yes. Works are phased so that opened areas are closed down and weathertight before we leave site each day, and the programme is agreed around your operations.
Yes, risk assessments and method statements are provided for commercial projects, and we are asbestos awareness trained for works on older buildings.
Where the existing build-up is dry and sound, often yes: with less disruption and waste. If the insulation is wet, overlaying traps the problem and we will tell you so with the evidence.
Hot-air welded single-ply from Sika, IKO Armourplan, Danosa and Bauder, and reinforced liquid waterproofing systems where detailing or hot works restrictions favour them.
A 10-year workmanship guarantee on every installation, plus manufacturer-backed guarantees where applicable depending on the specified system and project.
Our core coverage is Bromley, Kent, London and the South East, and we work nationwide on larger commercial projects.
Yes: detailed roof inspections with photographic reporting, suitable for planned maintenance programmes and budgets. These may be chargeable, confirmed before we attend.
Payment is by bank transfer, with deposits and stage payments on larger projects and agreed commercial terms where applicable.
Emergency leak and storm-damage call-outs are accommodated where possible. Call and we will tell you honestly what we can do and when.
