What Types of Commercial & Industrial Roofing Are Available?
We offer an array of commercial and industrial roofing options designed to meet diverse needs. Each roofing type is selected based on the specific requirements of the client, taking into consideration factors such as building size, environmental conditions, and energy efficiency needs.
Metal Roofing: Durable and long-lasting, this option is ideal for warehouses and industrial facilities. It is available in various grades, including galvanized steel and aluminium, providing excellent resistance to harsh weather and fire.
EPDM Roofing: A synthetic rubber roofing membrane known for its versatility and weather resistance. It is commonly used in both new and re-roofing applications, offering protection in temperate and tropical climates.
TPO Roofing: Thermoplastic polyolefin is energy-efficient and UV-resistant. It is a reflective roofing material that can help reduce cooling costs, making it a suitable choice for large commercial properties.
Bitumen Roofing: Cost-effective and flexible, it is suitable for flat roofs. Modified bitumen systems can include reinforcing layers such as fibreglass or polyester for enhanced durability and performance.

What Are Commercial & Industrial Roofing Systems Suitable For?
Our roofing systems are suitable for a variety of commercial and industrial buildings. EH Roofing Services expertly installs roofs on office buildings, manufacturing plants, retail centres, educational institutions, and warehouses.
We use materials such as EPDM, TPO, and modified bitumen, which provide durability and energy efficiency. Using advanced installation techniques like mechanically attached and fully adhered methods, our systems withstand harsh weather conditions and provide excellent thermal insulation, reflecting ultraviolet rays to enhance energy savings.
Additionally, our roofing solutions conform to industry standards, such as BBA certifications, ensuring compliance and safety. We conduct thorough site assessments, evaluating wind uplift resistance and load-bearing capabilities to tailor each system to its specific environment.
However, they may not be appropriate for residential properties due to structural differences. Contact us to determine the right roofing solution for your building.
When Is Commercial & Industrial Roofing Needed?
Commercial and industrial roofing is needed when constructing new buildings, replacing old roofs, or repairing damage. Roof replacement may involve using materials such as TPO (Thermoplastic Olefin), EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer), or metal panels, each selected for their specific weather resistance and energy efficiency benefits.
Regular inspections help identify issues like membrane shrinkage or metal panel corrosion early. This could be due to leaks, thermal inefficiencies, or structural damage from storms.
In warehouses and manufacturing plants, inadequate insulation and ventilation can lead to energy loss, impacting operational costs. Proactive maintenance is essential to extending the roof's lifespan and preventing costly repairs.
Complying with relevant building standards such as the British Standards (BS) ensures the integrity of your roofing system.

How Does Commercial & Industrial Roofing Work?
Our roofing process typically involves these steps:
Consultation and Assessment: We assess the project’s scope and the specific needs of your building. During this phase, we consider factors such as existing structural capabilities, local weather conditions, and regulatory requirements to devise a suitable strategy.
Material Selection: We help you choose the appropriate materials based on budget and building use. Options may include EPDM rubber for durability, TPO for energy efficiency, or metal roofing for robustness against harsh conditions.
Installation: Our experienced team installs the roofing system, ensuring high standards and compliance. We use industry best practices to employ techniques like torch-down or single-ply membrane installation as required.
Inspection and Maintenance: Regular check-ups and maintenance extend the roof’s operational life. Our maintenance services include leak detection, thermal imaging, and debris removal, all tailored to prevent potential issues and optimise performance.

How Long Does Commercial & Industrial Roofing Take?
A typical commercial roofing installation by EH Roofing Services takes between one to two weeks, depending on the roof size and materials. Larger projects, such as industrial warehouse roofing, may require special equipment like cranes for installing large steel trusses, potentially extending the time to three or four weeks.
Material choices, such as EPDM or TPO for flat roofs, and metal or bitumen for other structures, also play a role in determining the duration. Additionally, factors such as weather, building size, and material type can influence the timeline.
Adverse weather conditions can cause delays, especially if using moisture-sensitive materials. Curing times for some materials may add an extra few days before the roof is fully operational.
We adhere to relevant safety and building codes to ensure quality and compliance. Contact us for a more precise estimate of your specific project.
Who Needs Commercial & Industrial Roofing?
Businesses, including those in manufacturing, retail, and education, need commercial and industrial roofing to safeguard their properties. Each sector has its unique requirements: manufacturing facilities often require roofs with enhanced insulation and fire-resistant materials like EPDM or TPO membranes, while retail spaces may prioritise aesthetic elements alongside durability.
Our clients range from small office buildings to large manufacturing plants, and we provide solutions that comply with industry standards such as the British Standard BS 6229 for flat roofs. Proper roofing ensures longevity and safety for both the property and the occupants, preventing issues like water infiltration and heat loss that can disrupt business operations.
Our experienced team also offers periodic maintenance and repair services to ensure the roof remains in optimal condition. For tailored advice on your business needs, consult with EH Roofing Services.
How Much Does Commercial & Industrial Roofing Cost?
Commercial and industrial roofing typically costs between £50 to £120 per m². This price range depends on various factors including the type of roofing material used, such as single-ply membranes, metal roofing, or bitumen systems, which each have their own cost implications and lifespans.
The building's size and height can also influence costs, as larger and taller structures may require additional scaffolding or safety equipment. The scope of work, including replacement versus repair and whether a green roof installation is planned, can further impact pricing.
Incorporating features like thermal insulation or reflective coatings to improve energy efficiency may add to the overall cost but offer long-term operational savings.
