What Commercial Roofing Includes, Who It Is For, And Why It Works
Commercial roofing covers everything from a single repair on a single building to a full re roof across a large industrial unit, and S S Roofing Specialist Limited carries out all of it under one written contract.
Unlike domestic roofing, commercial roofing has to account for larger roof areas, flat or low pitch roof construction, rooftop plant such as extraction units and air conditioning, and the need to keep a building operating during the work. Our quotations always state the system, the materials, the access method and the programme so there are no surprises once work starts.
Our Commercial Roofing Service Includes
- New flat roof installation and re roofing
- Localised roof repairs and patch repairs
- Planned preventative maintenance contracts
- Roof surveys and written condition reports
- Leak detection and emergency call out
- Insurance backed remedial roofing work
- Roof light and rooflight replacement
- Gutter, downpipe and rainwater outlet repair
Who This Service Is Suitable For
Property And Facilities Management Teams
Managing multiple sites and needing a single roofing company for businesses that can quote, schedule and report consistently across a portfolio.
Landlords And Housing Providers
Responsible for keeping rented commercial units watertight and compliant, with documentation available for tenants and insurers.
Commercial And Industrial Business Owners
Running a warehouse, workshop, retail unit or office where a roof issue affects stock, equipment or trading hours.
The arrangement works because every project follows the same structure regardless of size: a survey, a written specification, a fixed price quote, and a completion report. That consistency is what most commercial clients are actually looking for when they search for commercial roofing contractors in the UK.
What Our Commercial Roofing Service Covers
S S Roofing Specialist Limited installs and repairs the full range of flat and low pitch roofing systems used on UK commercial buildings, from rubber membranes to standing seam metal.
Roofing Materials And Systems We Work With
EPDM rubber membrane roofing is a single sheet synthetic rubber covering, welded or bonded at the joints, commonly used on flat roofs because of its flexibility and resistance to UV degradation.
Single ply membranes (PVC and TPO) are factory made sheets that are hot air welded on site, giving a flat roof covering with consistent seam strength and a long service life.
GRP fibreglass roofing is a glass reinforced plastic system laid in liquid form and built up in layers, forming a seamless waterproof surface suitable for balconies, walkways and small to medium flat roofs.
Built up felt roofing, specified to BS 8217, uses multiple layers of bitumen felt bonded together, and remains common on older commercial buildings and as a recovering option.
Mastic asphalt roofing, specified to BS 8218, is a hot applied seamless covering that performs well on roofs with heavy foot traffic, such as plant decks and access walkways.
Standing seam metal roofing uses raised, interlocking metal seams to shed water, and is widely used on industrial units, warehouses and agricultural buildings.
Across all of these systems we follow the relevant British Standards, including BS 6229 for flat roofs, and we factor in insulation upgrades where a roof needs to meet current Building Regulations Part L thermal performance requirements.
UK Commercial Roof Cost Guide
The table below gives typical material and installation costs per square metre and the expected lifespan of each system. These figures are a starting point only, since the final commercial roof replacement cost depends on roof access, existing roof removal, insulation requirements and the condition of the supporting structure.
| Roofing System | Typical Cost Per Square Metre | Expected Lifespan |
|---|---|---|
| Built up felt roofing (BS 8217) | Between £40 and £65 | Between 15 and 25 years |
| EPDM rubber membrane | Between £45 and £75 | Between 30 and 50 years |
| Single ply PVC or TPO membrane | Between £55 and £90 | Between 25 and 35 years |
| GRP fibreglass roofing | Between £70 and £110 | Between 20 and 30 years |
| Mastic asphalt roofing (BS 8218) | Between £75 and £120 | Between 30 and 40 years |
| Standing seam metal roofing | Between £90 and £150 | Between 40 and 60 years |
Figures shown are supply and install costs for the roof covering only and exclude scaffolding, structural repairs and rooflight replacement, which are priced separately once a survey has been carried out.

Common Commercial And Industrial Roofing Problems And How We Fix Them
Most commercial roof failures come from ponding water, split membranes, failed flashings or roof penetrations added after the original roof was installed, and each of these has a specific repair method.
Ponding Water On Flat Roofs
Water that sits on a flat roof for more than 48 hours after rainfall points to poor falls or a blocked outlet. We clear outlets, check the roof falls and, where needed, add tapered insulation to direct water to the drainage points.
Membrane Splits And Blistering
Splits in EPDM, felt or single ply membranes usually start at joints, upstands or areas of movement. We cut out the damaged section, weld or bond in a new patch, and check the surrounding membrane for further movement.
Failed Flashings Around Rooflights And Parapets
Flashing failures are one of the most common sources of leaks on commercial roofs. We strip back the existing flashing, renew the upstand detail and reseal with a compatible material to suit the roof covering.
Storm Damage To Built Up Felt And Metal Roofs
Wind driven rain and high winds can lift felt sheets and metal roof panels. We carry out emergency temporary repairs to make the roof watertight, followed by a permanent repair or replacement once conditions allow.
Condensation And Interstitial Damp
Staining on ceiling tiles below a flat roof is often caused by condensation forming within the roof build up due to a missing or damaged vapour control layer. We investigate the build up and renew the insulation and vapour barrier where required.
Roof Penetrations From New Plant And Pipework
Air conditioning units, extraction ducts and pipework added after the original roof was fitted often leave poorly sealed penetrations. We form proper upstands and weathering details around each penetration to restore a watertight roof.
How We Complete Every Commercial Roofing Project
Every commercial roofing project we carry out follows the same five stage process, from initial enquiry through to a written completion report and warranty documentation.
Initial Enquiry And Site Details
You contact us by phone or through our online form with details of the building, the roof type and the issue or project you have in mind.
Roof Survey And Condition Report
A surveyor visits site to inspect the roof, check access, take measurements and record the condition of the membrane, flashings, insulation and drainage.
Written Quotation And Specification
We provide a fixed price written quotation setting out the materials, the work involved, the timescale and any preparatory work such as scaffolding or asbestos checks.
Scheduling And Site Safety Setup
Once you accept the quotation we agree a start date, arrange scaffolding or access equipment and complete a site specific risk assessment and method statement before work begins.
Installation, Completion And Documentation
Our roofing team carries out the installation or repair, clears the site on completion and issues a written completion report along with warranty documentation.
Frequently Asked Questions About Commercial Roofing
The questions below come up most often from facilities managers, landlords and business owners before they book a commercial roofing project with us.
What is the average cost of commercial roof replacement in the UK?
A commercial roof replacement in the UK typically costs between £45 and £150 per square metre depending on the system specified, with most projects falling between £40,000 and £150,000 for a medium sized industrial unit once scaffolding, waste removal and insulation upgrades are included.
How long does a commercial roof replacement take?
Most commercial roof replacements take between 1 and 4 weeks depending on the roof area, access arrangements and whether the building needs to remain in use during the work, with smaller flat roof sections often completed within a few days.
Do you offer roof surveys before quoting?
Yes, S S Roofing Specialist Limited carries out a full roof survey and condition report before issuing any quotation, recording the roof construction, membrane condition, insulation values, drainage and any areas of ponding or damage.
What is the difference between a flat roof repair and a full re roof?
A flat roof repair addresses a specific defect such as a split membrane, blocked outlet or failed flashing, while a full re roof removes the existing covering and insulation and replaces the entire roof build up, usually because the existing roof has reached the end of its working life or is failing in multiple areas.
Are you insured to work on commercial and industrial sites?
Yes, S S Roofing Specialist Limited holds public liability insurance cover of £2 million and our operatives carry valid CSCS cards, and we produce site specific risk assessments and method statements in line with the Construction Design and Management Regulations 2015 before starting work on any commercial site.
Do you provide warranties on commercial roofing work?
Yes, all new roof installations and re roofs come with a manufacturer backed material warranty alongside our own workmanship guarantee, with the exact terms confirmed in writing as part of your quotation.
Can you carry out roofing work without disrupting our business operations?
In most cases yes, because flat roofing work is carried out from above and rarely requires access through occupied parts of the building, and we plan deliveries, noisy work and access routes around your operating hours wherever this is practical.
What roofing standards and regulations do you work to?
Our work follows the relevant British Standards for the system installed, including BS 6229 for flat roofs and BS 5534 for pitched and tiled roofing, alongside Building Regulations Part A for structural loading and Part L for thermal performance, and we follow guidance published by the National Federation of Roofing Contractors.

Many roofing firms focus on domestic re roofs and treat commercial work as an add on. We do the opposite. Our scheduling, documentation and site safety procedures are built around commercial and industrial clients, which means risk assessments, method statements and completion reports are part of every job rather than something put together on request.
That focus shows in the detail. We specify the right system for the roof rather than the cheapest option, we explain when a repair offers better value than a full replacement, and we put every quotation in writing before any work starts.
Genuine Expertise Across Flat, Pitched And Industrial Roofing Systems
From a single rooflight repair to a full re roof on a warehouse, our team works to the same standards and the same written process every time, so you know exactly what is being done, when, and for how much.
