Commercial Roofing - What You Need To Know
As experienced roofing specialists, our recommended professionals offer a full range of roof repair and restoration for any commercial roof. They understand the essentials of continuing to monitor the condition of commercial roofs and how important repairs and replacement is when required.
The Differences Between Residential and Commercial Roofing
While to the untrained eye a roof is simply a roof, but there are some major differences between residential and commercial roofing. Although damage to either form of roof can be costly, there are some differences that highlight why you need to choose a commercial roofing specialist for your business.
While the materials used for residential roofing can vary, typical commercial buildings tend to have flatter slopes and therefore need the appropriate materials for a quality installation. Commercial roofing materials include asphalt, tile, ceramic, slate or metal.
Another difference between residential and commercial roofs is the design. While the typical residential roof has a steep slope, commercial properties tend to have a lower sloping roof or an entirely flat design. These designs tend to need more maintenance and require larger space repairs of the sections that are installed. There are a few considerations involved in the typical design of commercial roofing including the need to cover a greater area and the weight of any equipment that needs to be housed on the roof.
While the typical residential roof is fairly easy to design and install; the only obstacles are usually the chimney, a commercial roof requires a skilled professional familiar with designing a roof around airflow systems, external piping, and smoke stacks.
Commercial Roofing Repair Issues
Commercial roof designs can be created with felt, asbestos, cladding and a variety of other materials. Unfortunately, none of these materials are impenetrable and can degrade over time. Whether your roof is affected by severe weather or has started to deteriorate even a small leak can be a serious disruption to your business. Although a water leak is problematic in a home, it can be disastrous for a business. Not only are you likely to have more costly computer equipment, but there is also the potential for expensive stock damage. Additionally, the repairs are likely to result in downtime that can make or break a small to medium enterprise.
Regular Maintenance to Prevent Problems
Maintaining your commercial roof can protect your investment and help you to retain the full value of your commercial property. Regular maintenance can help to keep your operation running smoothly throughout the year and provide you with the greatest cost efficiency. Although spending money on maintenance may seem like just another business expense, it can keep your property secure and your business watertight, regardless of the weather outside.
If you want to replace, repair or expand your commercial roof, you need a contractor you can trust. Our recommended experts are experienced and highly qualified roofing professionals with the skills and expertise to fulfil any size or scale requirements for commercial roofing projects. The team would be delighted to discuss your requirements and help keep any disruptions to a minimum during any type of commercial roof repair.

First class service from start to finish. Alan called within about 10 minutes of my online request, looked at roof the next day as promised and called with findings and quote. Arrived to do job on the exact day that he said he would and completed job. Would definitely recommend without hesitation!

I called Louis when I was horrified to discover I was missing a tile on my roof and I had 1 sq ft hole in my roof. He came by the same day, within a couple of hours, climbed onto the roof and replaced the tile within 5 minutes! He then declined payment in favour of a good review here. So, once again, many thanks Louis - you're a lifesaver!!

Louis provided a fantastic service, he was able to visit us the day after I asked for his help, and called beforehand to say he was on his way. A section of the wire mesh protecting our solar panels had come loose. Louis carefully repaired it so that we don't have to worry about those pesky squirrels and pigeons making a nest. Excellent job, so friendly and courteous. Thank you Louis. Would 100% recommend.

Louis came out promptly to quote. He was very knowledgeable, and suggested with the age of the roof it would be better to replace rather than repair. I am glad we did as the roof did not have any boarding and there had been signs of water damage where the roof joined the garage. He arranged a team to clear the Debris before he started to lay the new roof, so the area was kept clean and clear. Louis and his team were very polite and nothing was too much trouble. Would highly recommend them.

Can't fault the professional and personal approach from C.R.S Roofing. When you're putting your trust in someone coming to your home and carrying out works than can be expensive and time-consuming, it's crucial you have someone who communicates well, often and appropriately; doesn't feed you excuses but is upfront and honest; arrives when they say they're going to arrive; and do what they say they're going to do, at the agreed price and time, and to a high standard. C.R.S Roofing did all of this. We required a chimney and old skylight to be taken away, with a velux window and new skylight fitted. This was done quickly, with minimal disruption or mess, and we are very happy with the results. Any delays or issues were quickly raised, discussed and mitigated. Highly recommended.
