At Industrial Roofing Services (NE) Ltd, we provide specialist roofing services across multiple sectors for UK business and public estate clients. From small reactive repairs to full roof replacements, we support you with planning, design, installation, maintenance and surveys. Our team works from our Newcastle upon Tyne base. We deliver tailored roofing solutions for complex buildings, busy live environments and multi-site portfolios. We keep safety, the programme, and the budget firmly under control.
We focus on industrial and commercial roofing for organisations managing busy buildings, technical plant and public-facing spaces. You may run a single facility or a nationwide estate. We give you one trusted roofing partner who understands your priorities and risk profile.
We plan projects around your operations. These include education timetables and visiting hours through to production schedules and shift patterns. You receive recommendations that align with your asset strategy. You may need targeted repair work, planned maintenance or a full roofing upgrade.
Many estate teams face a similar set of roofing challenges across their portfolio. Roofs often reach the end of their service life at different times. Budgets, safe access and business continuity add further pressure. We help you prioritise work and select the right technical options for each building.
Typical issues we help you tackle include:
For building managers who want deeper technical guidance on planned works, our industrial roof maintenance guide sets out practical steps for inspection, planning and life-cycle planning.
Health and safety sit at the centre of every project we deliver. We work in accordance with current regulations and produce detailed risk assessments and method statements. We coordinate closely with your own safety teams. We aim to keep people safe, protect the public and safeguard your property at every stage.
On complex sites, we work within your permit-to-work system. We cooperate with other contractors. We plan lifting operations, segregation routes and emergency arrangements in advance. Your project runs smoothly, even in constrained or sensitive locations.
| Risk area | How we approach it |
|---|---|
| Working at height | Detailed access planning, edge protection, fall arrest systems and trained operatives |
| Live, occupied buildings | Segregated work zones, controlled entry routes and agreed noise and dust controls |
| Asbestos roofing | Careful survey, licensed partners where required and appropriate repair or overcladding methods |
| Restricted access sites | Crane planning, phased deliveries and off-site prefabrication to limit disruption |
We provide a full range of industrial and commercial roofing services. These run from the first survey through to planned maintenance. You can work with us on a specific task. Alternatively, ask us to support a broader investment programme across multiple properties and regions.
Our installation and refurbishment work includes sheet and cladding systems, flat roofs, built-up systems and roof insulation upgrades. We also provide reactive repair work, planned gutter maintenance and clearance, asbestos roof repair, and a range of survey and inspection options.
Most of our sector work involves direct collaboration with facilities managers, estates teams, property consultancies and project managers. We provide information, regular progress updates and photographs. You can brief your own stakeholders with confidence.
Our typical project approach follows a structured process that keeps risk controlled and communication straightforward.
For estate managers planning larger roofing schemes, our post on industrial roof surveys for investment planning explains how structured surveys support long-term asset decisions.
Accurate survey data is vital when you plan roofing work across multiple buildings. We combine traditional inspection methods with drone technology to gather detailed information. We examine roof condition, drainage falls, plant supports and detailing around penetrations.
For buildings with restricted access or safety constraints, drone surveys reduce risk. We help you map defects without needing scaffolding. We use this data to prepare practical, costed options that match your budgets and programme requirements.
You can read more about this in our guide to roof inspection drones and our service page for industrial roof surveys.
Sectors with complex buildings need a roofing contractor that understands technical details, commercial pressures and governance requirements. We combine practical site experience with structured systems. Your project logs, risk registers and audit trails stay complete.
Our team works across the UK from our Newcastle upon Tyne base. We deliver projects ranging from localised repairs to complete roof renewals. We focus on predictable programmes and workmanship that stands up to scrutiny. This includes building control officers, consultants and internal auditors.

We work from our Newcastle upon Tyne base but support industrial and commercial roofing projects across the UK. Many of our clients operate multiple sites. We plan work regionally or nationally. Travel, access and accommodation requirements get built into our proposals from the outset.
Yes, most of our projects take place while buildings stay open. We phase works, manage noisy operations, agree on working hours and plan safe routes for staff and visitors. Our team coordinates closely with your facilities and health and safety colleagues to minimise disruption.
We install profiled metal sheet and cladding systems, flat roofing membranes, built-up roofing, roof insulation upgrades and associated guttering and drainage improvements. We also repair and over-sheet existing asbestos roofs where appropriate. Our recommendations depend on your building type, loading, fall, existing roof build-up and long-term asset strategy.
Yes, we can structure maintenance programmes for single buildings or larger estates. These can cover planned inspections, gutter clearance, minor repair works and priority response for leaks. Maintenance arrangements help you reduce unexpected failures, plan budgets and extend the service life of your existing roofing systems.
Drone inspections allow us to gather high-quality images and video of roofs that are difficult or unsafe to reach. We can quickly identify defects, blocked outlets, standing water, and damaged details. This information supports accurate reporting, budgeting and tendering for repair or replacement work.
For sector-wide projects, we normally ask for building locations, roof plans if available, access constraints, previous reports and any urgent issues. We then arrange surveys and prioritise buildings based on risk. We provide a phased plan. This helps you align budgets, internal approvals and operational requirements.
Yes, we regularly carry out insulation upgrades as part of refurbishment and replacement projects. We assess the existing build-up and propose insulation systems to meet your performance targets. We coordinate detailing to minimise thermal bridges. This helps you reduce heat loss, lower running costs, and support compliance with energy standards.
Response times vary depending on your location and the scale of the issue. We always prioritise urgent leaks that threaten operations, stock or equipment. Once we understand the problem, we arrange a visit to take temporary safe measures. This leads to a plan for permanent repair work.
Yes, we provide survey reports, photographs and recommendations after inspections. For major projects, we also issue completion information, warranties where applicable and maintenance guidance. This documentation supports your asset records, insurance requirements and compliance obligations. It helps you plan future investments with better data.
You can contact our team by phone or email, or complete the enquiry form on our website. We will discuss your buildings, current issues and project goals. We then outline the next steps. To start that conversation, visit our contact form and share a brief overview of your requirements.
