Service overview
Commercial & Industrial Roofing
, properly explained.
No jargon, no filler. Here's exactly what this service is, who benefits from it, and why we don't take shortcuts on it.
Commercial and industrial roofing covers everything from a small workshop unit up to full-scale factory and warehouse roofs. Core services include new profile sheet roofing, over-cladding of existing asbestos roofs, new gully liner installation and gully repairs, industrial guttering and downpipe systems, skylight replacement, and planned maintenance contracts (annual or bi-annual).
Facilities managers of industrial estates, property owners of warehouse and workshop units, developers converting or extending commercial buildings, retail landlords with leaking shopfronts, and any business owner whose production is threatened by a failing roof.
You need commercial roofing intervention when profile sheets are corroded, punctured or leaking at fixings; when an asbestos roof has reached end of life and needs over-cladding; when gullies are overflowing or the liner has split; when skylights are cracked or discoloured; or when planned maintenance is due to head off unplanned failure.
Commercial roofs run at genuinely dangerous heights, often over live production. Every operative on our commercial jobs is PASMA-certified for tower scaffold, IPAF-certified for MEWP operation, hot-works trained, asbestos-awareness trained, and mansafe-system trained. SafeContractor accreditation confirms these standards annually. Our RAMS documentation is available for every job on request.
What happens if it's ignored
The cost of leaving it
or getting it wrong.
The most expensive roofing decisions aren't the ones you make when you call us, they're the ones you make when you don't.
Replacing asbestos rather than over-cladding
Full asbestos stripping is disruptive, licensed, and expensive. Over-cladding, installing new profile sheet directly over the encapsulated existing roof, cuts cost by 30–50%, keeps production running, and delivers a new, warranted roof without asbestos disturbance.
Ignoring gully liners until they fail
Corroded gully liners release water into the building's steel frame, corroding purlins and cladding rails from inside. Planned liner replacement costs a fraction of the structural repair that follows.
Skylights left after they yellow
GRP and polycarbonate skylights degrade under UV. Once they're yellowed and brittle, one hailstorm punctures them, often across every skylight simultaneously. Planned replacement heads off simultaneous failure.
No maintenance contract
Ad-hoc repair calls average 30–50% more than the same work under a maintenance contract, because access, mobilisation and diagnostic time are duplicated on every reactive visit.
Our process
A repeatable system,
from first call to sign-off.
Step 1
Site Survey & RAMS
Site visit with drone photography, MEWP access where required, and full RAMS documentation for your compliance file. We survey while your operation continues, no shutdown to quote.
Step 2
Written Options Report
You receive a written report with drone photography and a costed comparison of options, repair vs over-clad vs replace, with life-cycle costs, disruption windows and warranty periods for each.
Step 3
Programmed Works
Work is programmed around your production, evenings, weekends or phased zones. Deposit required on all commercial jobs; stage payments available on larger projects. All commercial jobs come with a formal contract.
Step 4
Compliant Execution
SafeContractor accredited crew, IPAF/PASMA operators, hot-works permits where relevant, asbestos-awareness compliance, mansafe systems. Daily H&S sign-off; site kept clean and secure.
Step 5
Handover & Maintenance
Written handover pack: as-built photography, warranty registration, maintenance schedule. Ongoing maintenance contract available, annual or bi-annual, with priority response for contract holders.
Why Coventry chooses us
Concrete benefits
not vague reassurance.
Zero production shutdown
Almost all commercial roofing is executed with the building in normal use, over-cladding, gully work and maintenance don't need internal access.
Documented compliance
SafeContractor accreditation, PASMA/IPAF operator cards, RAMS per job, hot-works permits, asbestos-awareness training, all documented and available for your compliance file.
Life-cycle cost transparency
Every option is quoted with a life-cycle cost, not just an install price. You see the £/year of each option before deciding.
Priority maintenance response
Maintenance contract holders get priority slot response for reactive calls, routinely next-day, often same-day.
£15m insurance cover
£5m public liability, £10m employers' liability, the standard cover minimum for major commercial and industrial clients.
Written guarantee
All commercial workmanship guaranteed in writing, with manufacturer warranties on profile sheet, coatings and gully liners registered in the client's name.
Deep detail
Materials, methods
& where each applies.
The specifics that separate a roof built to last from one built to invoice. Read it or skim it, either way, it's the answer to "what actually goes on my roof?"

Asbestos over-cladding, installing new profile sheet roof coverings over existing asbestos roofs. New profile sheet roofing. Annual and bi-annual maintenance contracts. Industrial guttering and downpipe installation. (We don't currently confirm liquid-applied or single-ply systems in our commercial spec, happy to discuss on enquiry.)

Profile sheet: standard box-profile, trapezoidal and standing seam in polyester-coated steel or PVDF finishes for extended life. Over-cladding systems: encapsulation-compatible spacer systems that maintain roof-plane geometry over asbestos. Gully liners: GRP-formed or bituminous, sized to catchment. Rooflights: GRP double- or triple-skin, matched to profile.
Methods and detailing
Fixings sized per wind zone (Coventry sits in zone 2–3). Cut-edge corrosion treated at every panel edge. Gully liners tapered to fall. All penetrations flashed in code 4+ lead or manufacturer-matched EPDM boots. Hot works permit issued per phase; fire watch for 1 hour post-torch.

Straight answers
Common questions
before you call.
Can't find yours? Ring us on 024 7671 4341 , Lyndon or Georgina will pick up.
Can you work while our operation is running?
Yes, the vast majority of commercial roofing is executed externally with the building in normal use. Where we do need internal access (skylight replacement, some gully work), we programme it for evenings, weekends or planned shutdowns.
Do you handle asbestos roofs?
Yes, through over-cladding, which encapsulates the asbestos roof under a new coated steel profile sheet system. This avoids the cost and disruption of full asbestos strip. Every operative is asbestos-awareness trained; licensed removal is arranged with an approved partner where full strip is genuinely required.
Do you provide RAMS and compliance documentation?
Yes, RAMS (Risk Assessment and Method Statement) per project, along with PASMA/IPAF operator cards, insurance certificates, and SafeContractor accreditation. All supplied ahead of works for your compliance file.
What areas do you cover for commercial roofing?
Coventry, Warwick, Leamington Spa, Kenilworth, Nuneaton, Bedworth, Rugby, Solihull and the wider West Midlands.
How does a maintenance contract work?
Annual or bi-annual scheduled visits: gully clearance, drone survey of roof condition, minor repair works, written condition report. Contract holders receive priority response on reactive calls. Costs are fixed at contract start; no surprise call-out fees.
Do you take a deposit on commercial jobs?
Yes, all commercial jobs require a deposit. Stage payments are available and normal on larger projects (£10k+), payment schedule agreed at contract signing.
How quickly can you respond to a commercial emergency?
For maintenance contract holders: priority response, usually same-day or next-day. For non-contract clients: same-day where possible, next-day standard for storm damage or active leaks.
Are you insured for commercial work?
Yes, £5 million public liability and £10 million employers' liability. Increased cover available on written request for larger projects.

we handle all of this too.
Flat Roof Specialists
A flat roof is any roof pitched below 10°, extensions, garages, dormers, porches, bay windows, single-storey commercial buildings. We install and replace flat roofs in two main systems: EPDM synthetic rubber and high-performance torch-on felt. Each has a place; the right choice depends on span, foot traffic, drainage and budget.

Roof Repairs
A roof repair addresses a localised failure: slipped or missing tiles, a leaking valley, a failed lead flashing, cracked cement ridge bedding, blocked or split gutters, damaged verges, or a failed skylight seal. The work is targeted, we don't quote for a re-roof when a repair will genuinely last another 15 years.
View service
Emergency Roofing
Emergency roofing is any situation where the roof has failed enough to threaten the property inside, storm-lifted tiles, a blown-off ridge, a punctured flat roof, a lightning-struck chimney, or a leak actively running down a bedroom wall. The first job is make-safe: stop further damage, tarp, secure. The permanent repair follows once you're dry.
