Utilities sites demand roofing that supports safety and continuity of supply. They must meet strict regulatory standards. We structure our service around the specific assets you operate. We address the risks you face on each site.

We assess your structures, access conditions and service-critical equipment before recommending any work. This helps you prioritise spend. You can target the highest-risk issues first.
We provide detailed reporting and photographic evidence. We can combine traditional inspections with specialised roof condition surveys. We also offer safe drone inspections on hard-to-reach assets.
Different utilities environments need different roofing approaches. Chemical exposure, humidity, foot traffic and building shape all influence system choice. We design solutions that reflect those conditions. We avoid forcing one material everywhere.
We match products to your wind exposure, local environment and internal conditions. You benefit from improved weathering performance and reduced maintenance needs.
Utilities buildings often share similar roofing problems. This happens even when they sit on very different sites. The highest risks usually relate to water management, ageing details and hard-to-access areas over plant.

We work across a wide range of utilities facilities.

We regularly deal with ageing asbestos cement roofing on utilities buildings. Our trained teams follow strict safety procedures and current legislation. Options include safe repair, encapsulation or overcladding. For more involved projects, we coordinate with licensed asbestos removal contractors. We help you plan a sequence that keeps operations and staff safe.
Response times depend on location, access and current workloads. We understand that utilities failures carry high risk. We prioritise urgent issues that threaten service or safety. Our first goal is to make the area safe and watertight. We then plan permanent repairs around your operational constraints and longer-term asset strategy.
Yes, where regulations and airspace allow, we use drone inspections to assess hard-to-access utilities roofs. Drone footage highlights defects on high, fragile or congested roofs. You avoid exposing people to unnecessary risk. We combine that imagery with close-up checks where safe access exists. We then provide clear recommendations and supporting photos.
Our base in Newcastle upon Tyne gives us strong coverage across the North East of England. We regularly work across Tyne and Wear, County Durham, Northumberland and Teesside. For larger frameworks and multi-site programmes, we can discuss projects further afield. This works where practical and commercially sensible for both parties.
