Commercial Weatherproofing

Industrial Roof Weatherproofing

Roof waterproofing systems (also known as liquid waterproofing for flat roofs) is something we have a lot of experience in. We are approved contractors for several waterproofing solutions, bitumen felt systems, Sedum Green Roof products, and single-ply systems. Many industrial flat roofing systems tend to be located above multi-storey buildings. Therefore, careful consideration must be given to liquid waterproofing.

Being waterproofing contractors, we pride ourselves on our previous work and the service we offer.

We have many years experience in a variety of systems and can help with:

– Hotels, warehouses, and offices

– Schools, shopping centres and leisure centres

– Felt, rubber and liquid products

– Single-ply waterproofing

– Damaged and split flat roofing systems

Our commercial weatherproofing service provides long-term protection against moisture, UV exposure, standing water, and general wear. By using proven installation techniques and certified materials, we help extend the lifespan of your flat roof and reduce future repair costs.

As flat roof waterproofing contractors, we realise the importance of insulation design and certified drainage for all warm deck roofing systems. We have extensive knowledge of tapered insulation schemes.

We also have extensive experience with inverted flat roofing systems. Having completed many large projects, this system is most definitely becoming more popular. This is due to the limited solar degradation of the roof layers. Resultantly, they are protected with insulation and a ballast of pavers or a decking system.

In addition to this, we design weatherproofing solutions that meet current building requirements while improving your roof’s energy efficiency. By choosing the correct insulation, drainage, and installation method, we ensure that your roof performs well throughout the year and withstands harsh weather conditions.

They arranged the floor to eves scaffolding, roof edge protection, safety and debris netting plus asbestos monitoring and specialist waste disposal.

Paul Cousins – Associate Director – Industrial Chemicals Limited

We contacted Spencer Roofing to quote a new roof in one of our warehouses. Mark was prompt in his reply, competitive with his pricing and excellent to work with when we gave the go ahead. His team worked exceptionally well with our team, communicating as they went and ensured we had as little down time as possible. Installing a new roof in an operating factory meant we were concerned we would have a significant downtime, though Mark and his team managed to work with us based on what our customers had ordered and installed the roof in record time with little to no downtime and everyone was safe. The finished product is something we’re very proud of. Spencer Roofing rose to the challenge and produced an excellent roof, removed all the old roof and exited the site once complete, leaving us one very happy customer. We’d highly recommend Spencer Roofing and will definitely use again when we further replace or upgrade our factories.
