What we inspect
What we need to check before we quote.
Roof systems
The right system for the roof.
We use sheet membranes, liquid waterproofing, spray-applied systems and protective coatings. The roof survey tells us which option suits the building.
Planning the work
Before you appoint a commercial roofing contractor.
A useful quotation explains what is included, how the building will stay operational and which roof details need attention. Confirm these six points in the written proposal before you appoint a contractor.
Survey and scope
Confirm the roof areas, identified defects, retained materials and exclusions. Ask how the proposal distinguishes local repairs from a wider refurbishment, overlay or replacement.
Access and building use
Agree access equipment, protection below, deliveries, working hours and any temporary restrictions. Explain which parts of the building need to remain in use.
Repairs and details
Check the allowances for sheets, fixings, laps, seals, gutters, rooflights and penetrations. Establish how concealed defects or additional repairs would be assessed and agreed.
The complete roof system
Ask for the proposed preparation, primer, waterproofing or protective finish, and treatment of junctions. The specification should suit the existing substrate and its condition.
Programme and weather
Discuss phased access, weather allowances and the curing or recoating intervals required by the specified products. Confirm how the building will be protected while work is in progress.
Handover and maintenance
Agree the specification record, photographs and product information to be supplied. Check maintenance requirements and the terms, exclusions and eligibility of any proposed warranty.
Manufacturer product guidance
Manufacturer guidance helps explain the difference between roof waterproofing and a protective finish. The proposed system still needs to match the roof survey, substrate and project conditions.
