Commercial roofing in Leatherhead, Surrey and South West London

Commercial Roofs,Without the Disruption.

Most commercial roofs are flat, and most commercial leaks are a flat roof at the end of its life. We repair felt and GRP where there is life left, and replace in GRP or EPDM where there is not, laid to a fall with outlets sized for the roof.

Large flat roofs collect debris, hold water where the falls have gone and fail at the outlets and upstands long before the field of the roof. A survey with the gutters and outlets cleared usually finds most of the problem, and the repair or replacement is planned around the building below.

Large flat roofs are surveyed with the outlets and gutters cleared first, because a blocked outlet is the commonest cause of a commercial leak, and the report distinguishes the covering that has life left from the areas that need replacing so the work can be phased.

Slate and tile on parades of shops and mansion blocks, often with parapets, box gutters and internal valleys that a house never has. We keep those clear and lined, and repair the slopes above them.

Parades and mansion blocks have parapet gutters, internal valleys and shared chimneys that a house does not, and those are where the leaks come from. We keep the gutters lined and clear, repair the slopes and the lead, and work from scaffold that leaves the shopfronts open.

On a parade or a block the roof is often shared between several owners, and the leaseholders want a report that shows which roof, which detail and which flat. The photographs and the drawing we mark up do that, and the agent can pass them straight on.

A yearly survey, gutters and outlets cleared, small repairs done on the visit and a photographic report for the file. It costs less than one emergency and it is how a block stops calling you every winter.

A yearly visit with a photographic report, the gutters and outlets cleared, and the small repairs done on the day, costs less than one winter emergency and gives the agent a record for the file.

A maintenance visit is booked at a fixed time each year, usually autumn, and the agent receives the same report every time so the condition of the roof can be tracked and budgeted for over several years.

We plan the work around opening hours and access, keep the site tidy while trading carries on underneath, and tell you before anything noisy happens. Scaffold is designed with the entrance and the neighbours in mind.

We agree access, working hours and deliveries before we start, keep the site tidy while the business trades underneath, and tell you before anything noisy or disruptive happens.

Where a shop or office trades below, we agree quiet hours, protect the entrance, and where scaffold is needed design it with the pavement licence and the neighbours in mind. Deliveries and skips are timed to suit the business.

Every job comes with photographs of what we found, what we did and what we recommend next, so an owner or an agent can show a leaseholder or an insurer exactly what happened.

Every job is documented: what we found, what we did, what we recommend and when. It is the record an agent, a leaseholder or an insurer will ask for.

Every commercial job closes with a report a leaseholder or an insurer can read: what was found, what was done, what materials were used, and what should be planned for next, with the photographs to match.
