Warehouse Roofing Contractors
NWIR conducts roof repairs, waterproofing, inspection and replacement on all warehouse roofs, providing accurate, costed recommendations based on a survey from one of our independent experts. Get in touch about our comprehensive roofing services.
Warehouse roofs don’t fail the same way as others do
A warehouse roof carries problems other commercial roofs don’t. Wide spans. Long gutter runs. Thousands of square metres of profiled metal or single ply, broken up by rooflights that crack with age.
Standing water sits where falls have flattened. Cut edges corrode on overlapped sheets, gutters get blocked and overflow inside your building. And the first sign you have of a problem is staining that doesn’t show where the actual fault is.
On warehouse roofs, understanding the problem is often the biggest challenge, which is why all our warehouse roofing work, whether it’s roof repairs, waterproofing or full replacements start with a thorough survey so you know exactly what’s going on, and we can recommend the right course of action for your industrial roofing.
Warehouse roof surveys that find the real fault
The visual signs of roof problems are often not the main cause. On a large warehouse roof, water can get under the surface at one point and track across the build-up before you ever see a leak.
That’s why an NWIR warehouse roof survey uses a professional and comprehensive range of diagnosis methods. Electronic leak detection, moisture scanning and thermal imaging can find where water is coming in and how far it’s spread. This way you get work that fixes the cause, not just treating the symptoms.
Our warehouse roof surveys can include:
- Electronic leak detection on flat roofs to pinpoint entry points
- Moisture probe surveys and moisture scanning
- Core sampling of flat roofs or build-up inspection for profiled sheeted roofs
- Asbestos testing for older warehouse roof coverings
Professional warehouse roof repairs
A repair is only as good as the diagnostics behind it. Every repair NWIR carries out is specified against our professional survey findings, then installed by one of our accredited operatives. Sheets, flashings, laps and rooflights are all repaired. Cut edge corrosion is treated before it expands further along your sheets. Gutters are relined and sealed accurately.
Warehouse roof waterproofing and coatings
Point repairs can leave the rest of your roof exposed. A liquid applied roofing coating seals the whole area to prevent failures across the entire roof structure.
Because the coating is installed by manufacturer-approved operatives, your work qualifies for a long, single point guarantee, which means your roof remains covered years down the line. Which system suits your warehouse roof depends on the substrate and its remaining life, and that’s something we can advise you on following your survey.
Warehouse roof inspection and condition reporting
Most roof faults are invisible to the eye until they leak, which is why most of your roof spending is unplanned. A regular inspection can solve that.
Our experts catch corrosion, ponding and failing seals well in advance of major problems, meaning they’re cheaper to fix. You get a photographic condition report with all the evidence attached to our recommendations so you can see why we’re recommending anything.
We’ll put you in control of your budgeting so you can decide when work happens on your own terms, not when something is already going wrong.

Warehouse roof replacement and over-cladding
You don’t always need to replace a roof that’s seen better days. Any contractor who tells you differently is probably just selling.
Your survey will tell you for sure if your roof has reached the end of its life. If this is the case, you’ll get an honest recommendation. Full re-roofing if the covering is beyond saving. Or over-cladding where the structure can take a new skin over the old one, which keeps your roof watertight, without needing to strip it back to the deck.
We’ll arrange access without shutting your warehouse down
Scaffolding can disrupt your operations when you’ve got extra safety considerations, but they’re not always necessary. We can keep your warehouse open while carrying out any work.
We can conduct a MEWP survey survey on most sites so you can still get your warehouse roof assessed and repaired without any of the usual downtime, and at a lower cost.
