Flat roofs fail at outlets, laps and details long before the field area gives up. Planned maintenance visits keep guarantees valid and catch the small things, and a reactive repair service gets someone on the roof when it leaks. We cover single buildings and whole estates from both offices.
Outlets and gutters cleared, laps and details checked, rooflights and upstands inspected, vegetation removed and a photographic report issued after each visit. Most manufacturer guarantees require it, and a twice yearly schedule is normally enough to keep a commercial roof out of trouble.
A leak is dealt with as a leak first and a specification second. We attend, trace the water, make the roof watertight and then tell you what the longer term answer is. Bituminous, single ply, liquid and metal roofs are all within our teams.
Water rarely shows up where it gets in. We use electronic leak detection and flood testing on membranes, and experience on everything else, to find the actual point of entry rather than patching where the drip is.
For multi-site clients we set up a maintenance programme across the portfolio, with a single contact, agreed response times and consolidated reporting, so the estates team knows the condition of every roof and what it will cost next year.

Yes. We have undertaken projects from £1,000 upwards and a one-off repair on a commercial roof is a normal week for us. If the roof is beyond repair we will tell you, with the survey to back it up.
From either office we can normally get to a leak within a few working days, and sooner for an emergency. Ring the office nearest the site and ask for a surveyor.
It protects it. Most manufacturer guarantees require the roof to be maintained, and a missing maintenance record is the usual reason a guarantee claim fails. Our visit reports are the record.
Yes. Most of our maintenance work is on roofs installed by others. The first visit is a condition survey, so you know what you have before a maintenance plan is agreed.
Yes. Profiled metal sheeting, rooflights, gutters and the pitched slate and tile roofs that sit alongside flat roofs on most estates are all covered, either directly or through the Absolute Group.
