Section 1 Roof Surveys, Drone Surveys & Defect Diagnosis
A successful project starts with
understanding the condition of the
existing building. We provide practical
survey and inspection support to help
clients identify defects, understand risk
and make informed decisions on repair,
Core samples
refurbishment or replacement.
Our survey capability can support clients
dealing with leaks, ageing roof coverings,
failing gutters, degraded rooflights,
defective flashings, water ingress, poor
insulation, storm damage, unsafe access
or concerns around asbestos roof sheets.
Drone surveys can assist where access is
difficult, expensive or disruptive, giving
clients a clearer view of roof condition
before committing to wider works.

Project examples
- Matalan, Telford
- Worcestershire Royal
- WTW Willis, Reigate
Many of our clients use annual condition
surveys to monitor their estates, with drone
surveys providing a safe and non-intrusive
way to inspect difficult-to-access roof areas.
Our detailed reports identify defects and areas
requiring attention, helping clients prioritise
maintenance and plan ahead for future repair
or refurbishment works.
Typical outputs and benefits
- Roof condition assessments
- Leak and water ingress investigation
- Drone roof surveys
- Photographic evidence and defect
identification
- Practical recommendations for repair or
replacement
- Budget planning support
- Reduced need for intrusive access at
early survey stage

Built-up felt roofing provides a durable,
long-term solution for buildings affected
by persistent water ingress. Bituminous
membrane systems can also improve thermal
efficiency, while the versatility of the material
allows each project to be tailored to the specific
requirements of the building and client.

Section 3 Liquid-Applied Waterproofing Systems
CO-OP Food, West Didsbury
Liquid-applied systems provide flexible
waterproofing options for complex
details, gutters, plant areas, roof junctions
and areas where flame-free application
is preferable. They are particularly useful
where traditional sheet systems are
difficult to install or where a seamless
finish is required around awkward details.
Our experience includes the use of liquid
waterproofing systems to resolve leaks,
protect gutters, waterproof complex
junctions and supplement felt or
sheet-based roof refurbishment. Liquid
systems can be especially valuable in live
buildings where access, fire risk, detailing
and programme constraints need to be
carefully managed.
Page 9
Lower Precinct Shopping Centre, Coventry
Project examples
- Lower Precinct Shopping Centre, Coventry
- CO-OP Food, West Didsbury
- Warwick House, Solihull
We work with leading liquid-applied
waterproofing manufacturers, including
Alumasc, Polyroof and Restec, to provide fast,
flexible and effective roofing solutions.
As these systems are cold applied, they
eliminate the need for heat during installation,
helping to reduce health and safety risks while
minimising disruption to occupied buildings
and day-to-day business operations.
Typical applications Key benefits
- Valley gutter waterproofing
- Seamless application
- Complex roof details
- Excellent for difficult detailing
- Plant and service penetrations
- Useful in restricted or sensitive environments
- Flame-free areas
- Can support phased repair strategies
- Patch repairs and remedial waterproofing
- Suitable for both remedial and planned works
- Hybrid systems alongside felt or sheet roofing

Section 7 Slating, Tiling & Pitched Roofing
- The Fleece, Cirencester
Not every commercial roof is a flat or
metal system. Hotels, older commercial
premises, residential-style blocks,
heritage-influenced buildings and some
public sector properties require pitched
roofing expertise, including slating, tiling,
underlay, battens, rooflights, leadwork,
flashings and detailed junctions.
Our teams can support pitched roof
refurbishment and repair where clients
need a contractor with the capacity to
manage access, safety, logistics and
detailing in a commercial environment.
