Our roof services
Whatever state the roof is in, the survey decides what it needs, and the work is carried out by expert contractors to a written specification with one guarantee at the end.
Roof surveys and condition reports
The whole roof surveyed from the roof or by drone, with a written report and a fixed quote.
Cut edge corrosion treatment
Corrosion treated at the laps, eaves and rooflights, then sealed and coated with a certified system.
Full roof coating
A spray-applied coating across the whole roof, renewing the surface and covering every lap and fixing.
Gutter lining
Box and valley gutters relined along their full length, with the joints and outlets sealed.
Moisture mapping
Wet insulation found and mapped before the repair, so nothing is sealed in under the coating.
Maintenance plans
A planned inspection cycle that keeps the roof, and the guarantee, in good order.
Protect the value of your building
A sound, guaranteed roof keeps the building lettable, stands up to a buyer's survey and heads off the repair bills that follow a leaking one.
Easier to let
A building that does not leak is one less reason for a tenant to walk away or ask for a lower rent.
Ready for a sale or valuation
A repaired roof with a condition report and a guarantee answers the questions a buyer's surveyor will ask.
Fewer repair bills
Dealing with the roof now heads off the leaks, gutter failures and interior damage that follow.
A fraction of the capital cost of a new roof
Repairing and coating the roof you have costs far less than replacing it, takes far less time, and comes with a guarantee on the finished work.
| Repairing the roof | Replacing the roof | |
|---|---|---|
| What is done | The corrosion treated and the roof coated where it needs it, sheets left in place | Sheets stripped off and new ones fixed |
| Your tenants | Carry on trading, nothing comes through the ceiling | Often disrupted while the roof is open |
| Time on the roof | Days, or a few weeks on a large roof | Weeks to months |
| Cost | A fraction of replacement, fixed before work starts | New sheets, scaffold, labour and disposal |
| Guarantee | Basecare, materials and workmanship together | The sheet manufacturer's warranty |
Clear records for leases and dilapidations
Whoever the lease makes responsible for the roof, a written condition report and a guaranteed repair put its condition on record, which helps at renewals, rent reviews and the end of a tenancy.
A condition report on file
The state of the roof before the work, in writing.
A guarantee in writing
Materials and workmanship covered, with the certificate kept in your account.
Completion records
What was done and when, recorded as the work is signed off.
Minimal disruption for your tenants
The work happens from the roof and is arranged around your tenants' businesses, so nobody has to move out or stop trading.
All from the roof
Nothing comes through the ceiling and nothing inside has to move.
Access agreed with everyone
Working hours and access are agreed with you and your tenants before anyone goes up.
No strip-out
No old sheets and no skips on site, so the building stays presentable throughout.
Materials and workmanship guaranteed together
One guarantee covers the whole repair, so there is no gap between the product and the people who put it on.
- Materials and workmanship covered together, through Basecare
- Every system certified, and installed by an expert contractor to a written specification
- Inspected on completion before the guarantee is issued
- Kept in place with a maintenance plan
The term depends on the system specified and is confirmed in writing before work starts.

Frequently asked questions
Straight answers on cost, tenants, leases and paperwork.
How does repair compare with replacing the roof?
Repair is almost always a fraction of the cost of re-cladding, with no strip-out and far less time on site. The survey comes with a fixed quote, so you can compare the two like for like.
Will my tenants have to move out?
No. The work is done from the roof and planned with you and your tenants around their business.
Does a repair help with dilapidations?
A written condition report and a guaranteed repair give you a clear record of the roof and what was done to it. How that bears on a particular lease is for your surveyor or solicitor, but the paperwork is there when they need it.
Can you look after more than one building?
Yes. Each building gets its own survey, report and quote, and your online account keeps them in one place.
What paperwork do we get?
The condition report, the specification, the completion records and the guarantee certificate, all kept in your online account as well as sent to you.
What happens after the repair?
A maintenance plan keeps the roof on an inspection cycle so the guarantee stays in place and the building stays protected.
