Estates teams and portfolio managers with ageing roof stock need a plan, not a series of emergencies. We survey the estate, rank the roofs, price the programme and deliver it year by year, so the money goes where the water is coming in and the guarantees build up across the portfolio.
Every roof surveyed, cored where needed, photographed and graded, with a budget cost and a recommended year for each, in one report the estates team can plan from.
The programme is ranked by condition and risk, phased around the buildings and the budget, and delivered under a single contact so the estates team is not managing a dozen contractors.
1960s to 1980s woodwool, chipboard and metal decks under failed felt are the usual finding. Strip, deck repair, warm roof build-up with tapered insulation, new outlets and rooflights, and a 20 year guarantee per roof.
Twice yearly maintenance across the estate keeps the new guarantees valid and catches the small things on the roofs that have not been done yet.

By condition, by risk to what is underneath and by what the building is used for. The ranking is in the report so the estates team can adjust it against their own priorities.
Yes. Most estate programmes run over several financial years, with the survey updated as the roofs are done.
Yes. A maintenance schedule across the estate keeps the older roofs going until their year comes round and keeps the new guarantees valid.
Every completed roof is handed over with drawings, data sheets, the guarantee certificate and a maintenance schedule, so the estate record is complete.
A free survey, a written report and budget costs, from whichever office is closer to the building.
