At Industrial Roofing Services (NE) Ltd, we carry out structured assessments. We provide commercial and industrial roofing surveys in Newcastle upon Tyne. Our inspections give you a clear, evidence-based view of your roof’s condition. We work on factories, warehouses, retail units, public buildings, hospitals and more. A written report arrives with photos and practical recommendations. This helps you plan repairs, upgrades and budgets with confidence.
Our surveys focus on real-world issues. These include leaks, ponding water, damaged sheets, failing rooflights and ageing details. We also highlight safety, drainage and access risks. These affect daily operations, insurance and compliance. The result is a practical action plan. Your roof performs better for longer.
A commercial and industrial roofing survey is a planned inspection of your building’s roof. We assess its current condition, risks and remaining service life. Our team examines every part of the system. This includes sheet or membrane coverings, fixings, penetrations, gutters and internal signs of water ingress.
A survey delivers the most value when it supports a clear decision. We often carry out surveys at these points in a project or asset plan.
We follow a clear, repeatable process. You know what will happen at each stage. Our team works around your production, trading or access constraints. This minimises disruption on site.
Where appropriate, we link survey findings to planned works. These might include roof maintenance programmes or gutter refurbishments.
You can choose from several survey formats. Your choice depends on objectives, budget and timescales. The table below outlines typical survey types. We provide these for businesses across Newcastle upon Tyne and the wider North East.

Our core survey area centres on Newcastle upon Tyne and the wider Tyne and Wear region. We regularly work across Northumberland, County Durham and Teesside for multi-site clients. For larger portfolios, we can discuss travel further afield. We plan grouped visits to keep disruption and costs under control.
Survey duration depends on roof size, complexity, access method and the reporting level you need. A straightforward single-roof industrial unit may take a few hours on site. Large estates take longer. We agree on likely timescales in advance. This helps you plan access, escorts and operational impacts.
We regularly use drones as part of our survey work where conditions permit. Drone footage helps us assess fragile areas, tall buildings and difficult details. We avoid using extra access equipment this way. Our trained pilots work to current regulations. We provide high-resolution images that sit alongside traditional close-up inspection findings in your report.
Yes, most surveys take place while sites continue to trade or operate. We plan access routes, safe working areas and timing around your normal activities. Where noisy or sensitive works are needed, we discuss this in advance. We agree on windows that suit production, teaching, healthcare or public access requirements.
As a general guide, many businesses benefit from a full survey every three to five years. Lighter inspections fit in between. Older roofs, high-risk environments and heavily trafficked roofs may need checks more often. We can propose an inspection frequency that reflects your building use, condition and risk profile.
A written report arrives describing roof construction, current condition, defects and risks. The report includes photographs, location references and practical repair or upgrade options. We also outline suggested timescales and priority levels. This helps you plan budgets and work. Where helpful, we can talk through the findings with your wider team.
If the survey identifies suspected asbestos cement sheets or related components, we flag the areas clearly in the report. We then discuss safe management or replacement strategies that follow current regulations. Our asbestos roof repair service provides planned, controlled works. These keep people and operations protected.
Yes, many clients move from a one-off survey into a planned maintenance arrangement. We can support regular gutter cleaning, minor repairs, coating works and monitoring inspections. This approach keeps your roof in better condition between major projects. It helps you act on survey recommendations at the right time.
