At Industrial Roofing Services (NE) Ltd, we design, install and maintain commercial roofing for transport businesses. We serve Newcastle upon Tyne and the wider North East. We focus on watertight, insulated systems that safeguard vehicles, stock and staff. Our roofing solutions for the transport sector protect depots, warehouses, bus garages and airport buildings. They prevent leaks and weather damage.
Our team delivers flat, built up and sheeted roofs. These suit loading bays, maintenance workshops and large-span storage. We also handle guttering, roof surveys and planned maintenance. This means you can control costs and reduce disruption. You keep transport operations running safely all year.
You need transport roofing that protects assets and meets health and safety standards. It must support daily operations. We tailor our services to depots, bus and coach parks, airport hangars, logistics hubs and distribution centres across the North East.
Our team supports transport facilities with a full range of commercial roofing services.
Transport roofs often cover wide spans. They have complex junctions around canopies, loading bays and vehicle doors. Water can track through fixings, flashings and gutters. It may show up far from the source. We focus on accurate diagnosis before we recommend repair or replacement.
During an inspection, our commercial roofing specialists follow a clear process.
For larger or more complex sites, we support you with industrial roof surveys for investment planning. These surveys help with budget forecasts for multi-site transport estates.
We support transport organisations that operate single depots through to regional fleets. Our team works across Newcastle upon Tyne, Tyne and Wear and the wider North East transport network.
Common transport buildings we work on include the following.
| Transport building type | Typical roofing issues | Examples of services we provide |
|---|---|---|
| Bus and coach depots | Leaks over parking bays, corroded roof sheets, blocked gutters. | Sheet replacement, gutter lining, overcladding, planned cleaning. |
| Railway maintenance facilities | Condensation, damaged rooflights, failing flashings around plant. | Rooflight renewal, insulation upgrades, detail refurbishments. |
| Logistics and distribution warehouses | Ponding on flat roofs, joint failures, storm damage, edge defects. | Flat roof overlays, built up systems, joint repairs, surveys. |
| Airport buildings and hangars | Wind uplift, sheet fatigue, gutter capacity problems. | Metal roof systems, structural checks, gutter redesigns. |
| Ferry terminals and port sheds | Salt-driven corrosion, cladding damage, seal failures. | Overcladding, sheet replacement, protective coatings. |
Unplanned transport roof failures can disrupt timetables. They may close loading bays and damage high-value vehicles. Water can affect ticket halls, staff rooms, electrical systems and customer areas. Fixing problems early usually costs less than emergency works after damage occurs.
Regular maintenance helps you control risk around large transport sites.
If you manage a large depot or warehouse, our industrial roof maintenance schedule guide can help you shape a practical inspection plan.
We understand that transport operations cannot always stop for roof work. Vehicles need access to fuelling, cleaning and maintenance facilities. Passengers expect ongoing services. We plan roofing projects around your traffic flows and safety requirements.
Our team prepares every project with safety and continuity in mind.
Where appropriate, we also propose drone roof inspections. These reduce time at height during early investigations.
Transport buildings often have wide spans. They experience high internal moisture from washing activities and exposure to wind and driving rain. Material choice affects performance, thermal comfort and running costs over time. We match roofing systems to your building design, budget and maintenance plan.
For transport facilities, we regularly specify the following system types.
Our guide to roofing materials for industrial projects explains how different systems perform on busy commercial buildings.
Transport roofing costs depend on building size, access, material choice and condition. Short-term patch repairs may sometimes help. However, they can move problems elsewhere on a worn roof. We prefer to give you a clear view of repair, refurbishment and replacement options.
When we price transport roofing projects, we consider factors such as these.
For an accurate cost, we recommend a survey. This allows us to understand your transport buildings, operational constraints and plans for the future.
You need a contractor who understands both roofing and transport operations. Our team has worked with bus operators, logistics companies and public sector transport bodies. We serve Newcastle upon Tyne and the North East.

We work on a wide range of transport buildings. These include bus and coach depots, rail maintenance sheds, airport hangars, logistics warehouses and port facilities. Our team adapts methods to suit your building layout, roof build-up and operational restrictions. This applies whether you manage a single site or a wider transport estate.
Yes, we carry out detailed roof surveys for depots, garages and warehouses. We assess coverings, fixings, gutters and rooflights, then report on condition and risks. Our surveys help you prioritise works and plan budgets. You can decide whether repair, refurbishment or full replacement offers the most practical route for your transport site.
In many cases, yes. We plan work around your operating hours, shift patterns and safe access routes. Phased work zones, clear segregation and coordination with your team allow us to deliver projects. You can keep depots, loading bays and maintenance facilities running. We always agree methods with you before work starts.
Most commercial transport roofs benefit from at least one formal inspection each year. You should also arrange checks after severe weather. High-traffic or coastal sites may need more frequent visits. Regular inspections help spot blocked gutters, loose fixings and damaged sheets. They identify early signs of water ingress before problems disrupt timetables or damage vehicles.
Common issues include leaking gutters, corroded metal sheets, ponding on flat roofs and cracked rooflights. Failed joints around plant and vents also occur frequently. Heavy vehicle movements, washing activities and exhaust moisture can increase wear. Our surveys focus on finding root causes. We can then recommend repairs or refurbishments that address underlying problems.
We can respond to urgent leaks on transport roofs wherever possible, subject to safety and access. Short-term measures might include patch repairs, temporary sealing or gutter clearance. These control water ingress. We then discuss options for the longer term. These include overcladding or planned refurbishment to prevent repeat problems in high-priority areas.
From our base in Throckley, Newcastle upon Tyne, we serve transport clients across Tyne and Wear. We also cover the wider North East region. We regularly work in Newcastle, Gateshead, Sunderland, Northumberland and County Durham. We also serve surrounding areas. We support bus operators, logistics firms and public sector organisations with commercial roofing.
