What are construction sector roofing services?

Construction sector roofing services focus on new builds and large-scale refurbishment work across commercial and industrial properties. We support steel frame sheds, warehouses, logistics hubs, mixed-use developments and refurbishments that sit within a wider programme. We coordinate with your site team, other trades and suppliers from pre-start through to handover.

We understand construction safety regulations, site rules and the pressure on build schedules. We help project managers, quantity surveyors and site managers select roofing systems that meet design intent, programme, budget and long-term performance targets. This keeps disruption and rework to a minimum.

Which roofing services do we provide for construction work?

We provide a complete roofing service, from early technical advice through to installation and aftercare. We can take on a single block or a full industrial estate. We coordinate materials, access and labour to suit your programme and phasing.

  • New build industrial and commercial roofing systems.
  • Strip and re-sheet programmes on occupied or vacant units.
  • Overcladding solutions for ageing roofs and façades.
  • Targeted leak repairs and interim waterproofing measures.
  • Planned gutter and roof clearance before handover.
  • Insulation upgrades to support energy performance targets.

For more detail on individual services, you can read about our sheet and cladding work and how it supports large developments across the region.

We also support main contractors with guttering repair programmes. This helps you hand over roofs that manage water correctly from day one and reduces the risk of early maintenance calls.

Which roofing systems do we install on construction work?

We install a range of roofing systems so you can match products to each zone. That might mean using GRP on complex flat roof areas, built-up systems on warm roofs and metal sheeting on large industrial sheds, all within the same development.

Roofing system Typical construction uses Main advantages
GRP flat roofing Plant decks, walkways, podium roofs, smaller flat roofs Seamless finish, suits complex details, low maintenance needs
Built-up roofing Warm roofs on offices, mixed-use blocks, refurbishments Layered build-up, strong waterproofing, good thermal performance
Metal sheet and cladding Warehouses, logistics hubs, industrial estates Fast installation, long spans, modern façade options
Roof insulation upgrades Developments targeting lower energy use and carbon Improved U-values, supports energy strategies and regulations

Our flat roofing service covers GRP and other flat roof systems for new builds. This gives you design flexibility over roof layouts, plant locations and access routes across the roof area.

For warm roofs and layered systems we offer built-up roofing solutions. These support acoustic, thermal and fire performance requirements while keeping weight and programme time under control.

Where industrial sheds and façades form part of your scheme, we can support with industrial roof cladding in Newcastle. This gives you modern, compliant building envelopes on new and existing structures.

How do we work with developers, contractors and design teams?

We work as a specialist subcontractor, aligning our roofing work with your design, procurement and construction stages. Early contact allows us to highlight buildability issues, suggest system options and help you avoid later design changes that affect programme or cost.

  1. Initial discussion of drawings, constraints and programme.
  2. Roof survey or site visit where required.
  3. Written proposal with suggested systems and outline costs.
  4. Coordination of details with the design team and suppliers.
  5. Installation by trained roofing operatives under site supervision.
  6. Final checks, sign-off and handover documentation.

If you want deeper technical reading, our guide to GRP and built-up systems explains how these materials support different stages of a development.

You can learn more about Industrial Roofing Services (NE) Ltd on our company information section. This includes our background, team and the sectors we work within across the North East.

How do we manage roofing risk, safety and compliance?

Roofing work sits at the higher-risk end of construction, so we treat safety as a core part of every development. We prepare method statements, risk assessments and lifting plans that fit your site rules. We coordinate with the principal contractor’s safety team before work starts.

  • Trained operatives used to live construction sites.
  • Working at height controls, edge protection and access planning.
  • Careful sequencing of works around other trades.
  • Clear reporting of progress and any issues on site.
  • Support with warranties and documentation for handover.

Where asbestos may be present in existing roofs, we offer specialist asbestos roof repair services. This helps you plan safe methods that comply with regulations and protect workers and building occupants.

For developments targeting better thermal performance, our roof insulation upgrades help you reach the specified U-values and support energy strategies. We do this without adding unnecessary weight or complexity to the build-up.

Construction roofing work we support across the North East

We support a wide range of developments, from single industrial units to multi-block schemes. We work across Newcastle upon Tyne, Tyne and Wear and the wider North East region. We adapt our approach to the needs of each site and client team.

  • Industrial estates and logistics centres.
  • Manufacturing facilities and process buildings.
  • Retail parks, leisure facilities and mixed-use schemes.
  • Public buildings, schools and healthcare developments.
  • Refurbishment of ageing industrial roofs and façades.
  • Roof upgrades linked to energy or compliance programmes.

To see how roofing fits alongside our other sector work, you can explore the sector information section. This covers education, food, healthcare, manufacturing, public buildings, retail, transport and utilities.

When programmes require detailed condition information, we carry out specialist roof surveys. These feed into investment planning, value engineering and design decisions before you commit to a specification.

How do we support inspection, drainage and maintenance before handover?

Good construction roofing does more than keep the rain out during the build. It sets your client up with a roof that drains correctly and is easier to maintain over its life. We support this with inspections, gutter work and maintenance planning before you hand over the building.

  • Roof and gutter clearance before final inspections.
  • Targeted gutter repairs and outlet checks.
  • Advice on access and safe future maintenance routes.
  • Photographic records of completed roof areas.
  • Support for planned maintenance schedules.

Our roof and gutter clearance service helps prevent early blockages and ponding. This supports a smoother defects period and fewer reactive call-outs after practical completion.

For faster condition assessments on larger sites, we offer drone roof inspections. These provide high-resolution imagery that helps designers, surveyors and clients make informed decisions before and after work.

How to get a construction roofing quote

The simplest way to start is to share your drawings, scope and programme with our office. We can then advise on roof types, access requirements and phasing. We provide a quotation that aligns with your construction sequence and budget expectations.

  • Send drawings, specifications and any existing reports.
  • Tell us about programme milestones and constraints.
  • Highlight any known roof defects or asbestos concerns.
  • Confirm whether work is new build, refurbishment or both.
  • Arrange a site visit or meeting if needed.

When you are ready to move forward, you can contact us through the contact section or by calling the office. We will talk through the next steps for your construction roofing work.

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of construction work do you cover?

We cover a wide range of builds, including new industrial units, logistics hubs, manufacturing facilities, retail parks, public buildings and mixed-use developments. We also deliver roofing work on refurbishment schemes, strip and re-sheet programmes and phased developments where you need roofing support across several blocks.

Can you work as a roofing subcontractor under a main contractor?

Yes, we regularly work as a specialist roofing subcontractor under principal contractors and developers. We align with your contract structure, reporting lines and site rules. We attend coordination meetings where required and provide the documentation you need for health and safety files, warranties and client handover packs.

Do you provide roofing design input at pre-construction stage?

We can provide practical design input at pre-construction stage. This helps you select systems, build-ups and details that suit the development. We review drawings, highlight buildability issues, suggest product options and support discussions with suppliers. This moves you towards a more confident, coordinated roof specification.

How do you price construction sector roofing work?

We price construction sector roofing based on drawings, specifications, access arrangements and programme requirements. Our quotations consider materials, labour, access equipment and any surveys or enabling works required. We can also support value engineering by comparing alternative systems where budget pressure exists but performance requirements must still be met.

Do you offer roofing warranties for construction work?

We can offer roofing warranties on many of the systems we install, subject to product selection and installation requirements. Warranty terms vary by manufacturer and system, so we discuss these with you during specification and quotation. We then provide the finished documentation as part of the handover process at completion.

How do you coordinate roofing works with other trades on site?

We coordinate our roofing works through your site management structure. We attend meetings, plan interfaces and adjust sequencing where necessary. Our supervisors liaise with other trades on access, lifting operations and shared work areas. This helps reduce clashes and keeps activity on the roof aligned with your wider programme.

Can you help with roofing on phased or multi-block developments?

Yes, we support phased and multi-block developments by planning labour, access and deliveries around your build sequence. We can move between blocks in line with steelwork, cladding and internal progress. This helps you maintain momentum across the site without overstretching resources or leaving roof areas exposed for long periods.

Do you provide surveys before construction roofing works start?

We provide roof surveys where you need better information before specifying works, especially on refurbishment and overcladding work. Surveys help identify structural issues, drainage problems, existing materials and potential asbestos. This information supports design, budgeting and risk management before you commit to a particular roofing solution.
