Specialist services for every roof.
Understand the roof
Start here when the cause of a problem, the condition of the roof or the right scope of work is not yet established.
Repair, refurbish or replace the roof
Core roofing works, from extending the life of a serviceable roof through to full replacement of the covering.
Supporting works around the roof
Works that make roofing possible, safe and maintainable, delivered with the roofing scope rather than as standalone building work.
Choosing an approach
Not sure which roofing service you need?
The right approach depends on the roof itself, not on a preferred product. Roof construction, current condition, the defects present, how the roof is accessed, how the building is used and what the project needs to achieve all change the answer, and they often rule options in or out before cost is considered.
If that is still open, start with a commercial roof survey. TRS offers a free initial roof survey and site visit to look at the roof and discuss the realistic options. Where further specialist investigation is appropriate, that is discussed and agreed with you first.
Roof construction
Profiled metal, standing seam, built-up felt, single ply, asphalt or concrete, each behaves differently and rules some options out.
Condition and defects
Whether the covering, liner, fixings, insulation and gutters are still serviceable, and whether moisture is trapped in the build-up.
Access and safety
How the roof is reached, whether it is fragile, and what edge protection or temporary works the work requires.
Building use
What sits below, whether the building stays occupied, and when work can realistically take place.
Project objectives
Whether the aim is to stop a leak now, extend life for a defined period, improve thermal performance or replace the roof outright.
Budget stage
Whether an early order-of-cost figure is needed for planning, or a specification and firm price for delivery.
Common questions
Before you choose a service.
Questions specific to a single service are answered on that service page.
It depends on the construction and condition of the existing roof rather than its age alone. Where the covering is broadly sound, repairs, coatings or a gutter and rooflight programme may be appropriate. Where the sheet, liner, insulation or falls are beyond serviceable condition, over-cladding or replacement is usually considered. TRS establishes this by looking at the roof first.
Yes. TRS offers a free initial roof survey and site visit to assess condition and discuss options. Where further specialist investigation is appropriate, such as moisture testing, core sampling or thermographic work, that is discussed and agreed with you before it is undertaken or coordinated by TRS.
No. TRS is a roofing contractor, not an independent consultancy. That means recommendations come from contracting experience of installing and maintaining commercial roofs, and TRS can carry out the works it specifies.
Usually. Commercial and industrial roofing is normally sequenced so each area is made weather-tight before the next is opened up, with access, edge protection, containment and working hours planned around the operation below. The approach is agreed before work starts.
Where a manufacturer system guarantee is available, its availability and duration depend on the selected system, the specification, substrate condition, preparation and the manufacturer's own requirements. Guarantee options are confirmed at specification stage rather than assumed at enquiry.
Yes, and they often are. A single refurbishment can combine sheeting or coating works with gutter lining, rooflight replacement, safety systems and associated structural or access works, sequenced as one programme with one point of contact.
The Commercial Roofing Budget Planner gives indicative order-of-cost guidance for early planning based on roof area, construction and the type of work being considered. It is planning guidance, not a quotation, and is refined once the roof has been surveyed.
Not sure which system suits your roof?
Ask for a survey-led recommendation.
Send a brief description of the building and roof, and a member of the TRS team will arrange a free initial roof survey and site visit before anything is specified.
