Common Roofing Issues
There are a few common issues that can occur with commercial roofing, including:
- Leaks: you’ll notice if water starts to enter via the top of your building. This can come from broken or inadequate commercial roof drainage systems.
- Broken tiles or slates: this commonly occurs after a storm or extreme weather conditions.
- Moss or mould: during the wetter months and in humid weather, moss, algae and even mould can build up on or under your roof.
- Asbestos: although it’s been banned for 20 years, asbestos can still be found in older buildings. If not dealt with correctly, it can cause serious health problems when inhaled. Get a professional asbestos survey if you think your roof may be at risk.
If you notice any of these problems or other issues with your commercial roof, get in touch with a commercial roofing specialist as soon as possible.
How To Avoid Roofing Issues
Though some roofing issues can come from everyday wear and tear, there are steps you can take to help prevent common commercial roofing problems.
Regular inspections
One of the best ways to protect your roof is by having regular visual inspections carried out, looking for any signs of damage or wear and tear.
Clear debris
It’s also important to clear away any debris that might have accumulated on the roof, as this can cause problems like blocked gutters or downpipes.
Cut back tress
If you have any trees near your commercial property, then it’s also worth checking that their branches aren’t causing any damage to the roof. Cut back any branches that are coming close to the roof.
Gutter cleaning
Keeping gutters in a good state of repair is also crucial, as this can help avoid water damage. Robinsons Facilities Services also provides a gutter cleaning service.
Benefits of Regular Roof Maintenance
Keeping a business’s roof in good repair offers several benefits:
- Prevent leaks: proper roof maintenance can help to prevent leaks, which can cause significant damage to a building’s interior and disrupt business operations.
- Longer lifespan: regular roof maintenance also helps to extend the lifespan of a roof, avoiding costly repairs or replacements down the line.
- Energy efficiency: a well-maintained roof can also improve a business’s energy efficiency, reducing heating and cooling costs.
- Curb appeal: a well-maintained roof can enhance a building’s aesthetic, creating a positive impression for customers and visitors.
- Compliance: by ensuring that a roof is in good repair, a business can maintain compliance with building health and safety regulations, avoiding potential fines and legal issues.

Commercial Roof Repair FAQs
In most instances, scaffolding will be put up to help the roofer make the necessary repairs and access the roof properly.
The most common issues with commercial roofs tend to be leaks, tree damage and shrinking membranes.
The severity and seriousness of a roof leak will depend on the damage and how much water is leaking. Any amount of water intrusion is never a good thing and it is always a good idea to get the issues resolved as soon as you possibly can.
Minor repairs might suffice if the roof is generally sound. However, widespread damage, leaks in multiple areas, or an ageing roof might need a full replacement. Contact us for damage assessment and advice.
Common signs include visible leaks, water stains inside the building, a cracked or blistering roof membrane, loose or missing flashing, and excessive moss or plant growth.
The cost of commercial roof repair can range anywhere from around £300 to over £11,000. The cost will depend on many factors, such as the size and type of roof, the extent of damage, and the materials used.
A minor repair might take a day, while a full replacement could take weeks. The timeframe depends on the project’s complexity so be sure to discuss it with your chosen contractor.
Not necessarily. Depending on the location and extent of repairs, we’ll try our best to work around your business operations to minimise disruption.
One of the best ways to prevent future roof problems is to perform regular roof inspections. A professional roofing company can identify minor issues before they become major problems.
