At Industrial Roofing Services (NE) Ltd, our public sector roofing covers inspection, repair, refurbishment and replacement of roofs on public buildings. We work on offices, schools, hospitals and community facilities. As specialist public sector roofing contractors in Newcastle upon Tyne, we work with local authorities, housing providers and public bodies. We keep buildings watertight, safe and compliant.
We provide planned and reactive support for flat roofs, built-up systems, sheeted roofs and guttering. Our team assesses roof condition and recommends practical options. We deliver projects with careful planning, clear communication and attention to health and safety. We focus on value over the full life of the roof, not just the initial cost.
Our public sector roofing service brings together surveys, planning, installation and long-term care for your property. You can use us for one-off projects or ongoing maintenance contracts across several sites.
We tailor each project to the building, service pressures and budget constraints.
We work with local authority teams, housing organisations and public sector facility managers across Newcastle upon Tyne and the wider North East. You work with a single roofing contractor that understands procurement, sign-off processes and stakeholder expectations.

We have more than 30 years’ experience in industrial and commercial roofing. Our team applies that knowledge to public buildings where safety, uptime and public access matter every day.
Public sector clients also access our wider services, including roof surveys, roof and gutter clearance and planned maintenance.
Good planning protects building users as much as it protects the roof. We build each project around your operational needs and the constraints of the site.
We can also arrange drone roof inspections to assess large or complex roofs with minimal disruption.
Public sector property portfolios often include several roof types, sometimes on the same site. Our team works with a broad mix of materials and systems. You can use us for different buildings under one contract.
If you manage several sites, we can group projects together or phase works over several years to align with budgets and funding cycles.
Public sector roofing projects demand strong health and safety practice. We plan access, segregation and communication in detail before work starts. We keep this under review during the project.
We can also support you with regular inspections and reports. These help you meet insurance requirements and your duties under workplace and housing regulations.
Contact our team by phone or email to discuss any public building roof. We will ask about the site, access, current problems and your timescales. We can then arrange a visit.
We work on a wide mix of public buildings across Newcastle upon Tyne and the wider North East. This includes council offices, schools, colleges, healthcare sites, leisure facilities, depots, transport buildings and public housing blocks. If your organisation owns or manages the building, we can discuss a roofing solution.
Yes, we regularly work on occupied public buildings. We plan access routes, segregation, delivery times and noisy activities around your operations. Our team agrees working hours, phasing and communication lines in advance. This approach helps you keep services running while we repair, refurbish or replace the roof above.
We provide planned maintenance programmes tailored to public sector estates. These usually include regular inspections, gutter and roof clearance, minor repairs and condition reporting. Planned maintenance reduces unplanned outages and unexpected costs. It also gives you clear evidence for budgets, compliance duties and future refurbishment planning across your property portfolio.
We help you by providing clear surveys, photographs and written recommendations with costed options. We can suggest phasing over several years or splitting work into priority sections. This supports budget planning, funding applications and internal approvals. You gain a clear link between condition, risk and the investment you plan to make.
Yes, we carry out detailed roof surveys on public buildings of many types. Our reports set out current condition, defects, risks and repair or replacement options. We can also provide drone-based inspections for difficult access situations. These reports support asset planning, compliance checks and tender documentation.
We can respond to urgent roofing problems such as sudden leaks, storm damage or impact from debris. Our team will aim to make the roof safe and watertight as quickly as circumstances allow. We then advise on permanent repair or replacement options, along with likely costs and timescales.
Yes, we often work as part of wider project teams on public sector developments and refurbishments. We coordinate with main contractors, consultants and other trades on site. This coordination helps align roofing works with structural, mechanical and internal fit-out activities, reducing clashes and delays across the full programme.
Our base is in Newcastle upon Tyne and we mainly cover the North East of England. This includes Newcastle, Gateshead, Sunderland, Durham and surrounding areas. For larger public sector projects we may travel further by agreement. We are always happy to discuss locations and practicalities.
