— About this service

Commercial roofing — done properly, first time.

About a third of our work is commercial. Pubs, restaurants, small shops, offices, hairdressers, garages, light industrial units — the building stock across Kent is mostly small and mid-size commercial, and most of it has flat or mixed-pitch roofing that needs proper maintenance and the odd renewal.

Commercial roofing is similar to domestic in technique but different in approach — we work to minimise disruption to your trading hours, can phase work over weekends or evenings where needed, and provide proper documentation for landlord/tenant responsibilities, insurance and lease-end dilapidations.

Common commercial roof issues

  1. Ponding on flat roofs

    Standing water shortens membrane life and signals a fall problem. Often fixable with a re-fall and recover.

  2. Long gutter overflows

    Industrial gutter runs block with leaves and silt; overflows damage cladding. Annual clean prevents most.

  3. Failed flashing at parapet upstands

    Common on retail and pub roofs. Re-dress lead or single-ply detail.

  4. Open-plan office leaks

    Hard to localise — water tracks across deck before dropping. Trace and repair properly.

  5. Lease-end dilapidation lists

    Schedule of works, fixed-price quote, sign-off paperwork. Protect your end-of-lease position.

Common questions

Commercial roofing — frequently asked questions.

Direct answers to the things Kent homeowners ask us most about commercial roofing. Don’t see yours? Just call.

Do you work on commercial properties as well as domestic?

Yes — about a third of our work is commercial. Pubs, shops, restaurants, offices, small industrial. We’re fully insured for commercial work (public liability cover with documentation on request).

Can you provide RAMS and method statements?

Yes — risk assessments and method statements for commercial sites where required. Standard for planned work on pub, restaurant and retail jobs.

Will you work around our trading hours?

Where possible, yes. Early starts, evening finishes, weekend work, phased programmes — we’ll discuss whatever minimises disruption to your business.

Do you offer maintenance contracts?

Yes — annual or bi-annual planned maintenance with documented inspection reports. Useful for landlords, property managers, multi-site businesses and anyone with a roof that’s out of sight.

Can you handle insurance claim work?

Yes. We provide written quotations, photographs of damage and repairs, itemised invoices and supporting documentation in the format insurers expect.

What about dilapidations and lease-end repairs?

We’ll survey the roof against your schedule of dilapidations, quote on remedial works, complete to the lease standard and provide sign-off documentation. Talk to us before responding to a landlord’s schedule — we’ll usually find items that don’t need doing.

Do you carry public liability insurance?

Yes — public liability insurance with documentation available on request, as you’d expect. Standard for any commercial work.
