The Problems

Some of the issues facing commercial roofs in the UK

Commercial building owners and facilities managers in the UK face numerous challenges with roofing, including weather damage, corrosion, ageing systems, and issues caused by poor installation or maintenance. Flat roofs can be especially vulnerable as frequent rain and general wear often result in leaks, while older roofs not only lack energy efficiency but also struggle to support modern demands like solar panels. Limited access can further complicate matters by delaying the identification of issues, which often leads to higher repair costs. Regular inspections combined with modern roofing systems and proactive maintenance are key to staying ahead of these challenges and ensuring long-term performance.

Cut Edge Corrosion

Cut Edge Corrosion occurs when the edges of metal roof sheets deteriorate due to weather exposure, leading to rust and failure.

Gutters & Drainage

Debris build-up in gutters and drainage systems can cause water pooling, leaks, and even structural damage if not addressed.

Cracks & Splits

Ageing materials or movement can lead to cracks and splits, allowing water to ingress in and under the roof.

Standing Water

Flat roofs are prone to standing water, which could lead to system degradation and eventual leaks over time.

UV Degradation

Prolonged exposure to UV rays, rain, and wind can weaken roofing materials, causing them to crack, fade, or deteriorate.

Expansion

Temperature fluctuations causes roof surfaces to expand and contract, which can often lead to joint failure or cracks in the roofing system.

Foot Traffic

Rooftops used for maintenance or housing equipment often experience wear and tear, which can lead to leaks or surface damage.

Overgrowth

Damp environments can promote the growth of moss and algae on the roof, which can weaken surfaces and increase the risk of water retention.
