School Roof Maintenance Contractors
As one of the UK’s only specialist commercial roofing contractors, NWIR plans school roof maintenance and repairs around your term times to minimise disruption.
Keep Your School Dry And Operational Year Round
A well-maintained roof is essential for protecting your learning environment, preventing leaks, standing water damage or blocked gutters from turning into expensive problems that risk the safety of your students and staff, or potentially closing your building.

School Roofing Services and Systems
Whatever the condition of your school roof or the services you need, we cover every stage, from the initial survey to installation and regular maintenance and can repair or install a range of school roofing systems.
The roofing systems we work with include:
- Flat roofing repairs
- Felt roofing
- Liquid applied roofing
- Metal roofing
We can also assist with cladding and overcladding (including asbestos overcladding) and conduct a number of maintenance and specialist services such as cut edge corrosion treatment, gutter lining refurbishment, safety lines and green roofs.
We start every school roof project with a survey
Not all school roof problems come from visible damage, so we start every project with a thorough survey so we can pinpoint exactly what’s going wrong on your roof and ensure we target the right areas. This proactive approach ensures the work we carry out lasts, preventing larger problems down the line.
Depending on the nature of your roof, we have several roof survey types we use, including visual roof surveys, MEWP surveys, electronic leak detection, moisture scanning, core sampling and extended camera surveys.
Each survey includes a condition report and scope of work for you to approve.
