Commercial Roofing in Derby And Surrounding Areas

Commercial Roofing

For our commercial roofing clients, our roofers offer a wide selection of roofing materials and solutions. We install everything from metal roofs to standing seam roofs and flat roofing, which can provide the best protection for your commercial property when it comes time for a replacement and new installation.


Selecting which type of material is right for you will depend on how often the roof will need upkeep, in terms of cleaning, as well as what type of roofing warranty you are looking for.


Commercial flat roofing involves installation of roofs such as rubber roofing, metal roofing, and GRP fibreglass roofs. Also, concrete tiling, roof slates, and clay or synthetic tiles are key considerations to be made when choosing a commercial pitched roof.

Metal roofing installation involves the installation of metal roofing material such as aluminium or steel, often onto an existing roof. These materials are more durable than other options and have a long lifespan, but they can be difficult to install and require maintenance for the life of the roof's use


Commercial EPDM Rubber roofs provide a great price point for flat roofs without requiring any kind of upkeep - while standing seam roofs are the more expensive option, they can last up to 50 years or more.


Wood shingle roofs provide a classic look that many people like and install quickly but require regular cleaning in order to maintain their appearance, but they do offer good insulation for any building.


While some roofing contractors in Derby are not able to offer many of these services, you can rest assured our professional Derby roofers are reliable commercial roofing contractors that will not let you down with your roofing project. We always deliver true value to our commercial clients.

Flat Roof

Trust our roofers for your flat roofing which involves the following roof types. 


Felt Roof - Bitumen

We specialise in bitumen roof felt installations in Derby, a popular choice among our residential and commercial clients because of its low cost and long-term durability. Bitumen is made from asphalt combined with other polymers that make it waterproof and resistant to extreme weather conditions like hot temperatures or heavy snowfall. Our bitumen flat roof installation process begins with a comprehensive assessment of your roof to determine the best course of action. We then clean and prepare the surface before applying bitumen sheets. These sheets are then heated so that they can bond together and create a seamless, watertight seal, which is important to counteract the British harsh weather!

This method is gentler than traditional power washing and helps preserve the integrity of your roofing materials. The result is a clean, streak-free surface that can last up to 2 years before it needs to be cleaned again.


When we come out to perform our soft-wash roof cleaning service, we start by spraying a mild solution onto the entire area. This mixture breaks down any dirt or debris on the surface and helps loosen it up for easier removal. After letting the solution sit for a few minutes, we gently rinse the roof with a low-pressure stream of water. This removes any loosened dirt and debris while also leaving behind a streak-free finish.


Our soft washing roof cleaning process is designed to be safe and effective on almost any type of roof material, including asphalt shingles, tile roofs, metal roofs, slate roofs, cedar shake roofs, etc. By using our gentle approach and biodegradable solutions, we can safely remove even tough stains without damaging your roof's surface or voiding its warranty.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do roofers charge UK?

The cost of roofing services can vary depending on the type of roof, size of the property and complexity of work involved. In the UK, a typical pitched roof replacement would average £5,000 plus, or flat roof replacement could cost around £1,500 plus. If additional services are needed such as insulation installation or repairs to the underlying structure then this could add to your final bill.


In addition to labour costs, materials used for roof repairs and replacements will also need to be taken into consideration when estimating total costs. Roof tiles are usually one of the most expensive components in any roofing project and may range from between £80.00 to £110.00 per square metre based on the material used. Other materials such as underlayment felt, flashing and lead may also need to be factored into the total cost.


When hiring a roofing contractor, it is important to compare quotes from multiple service providers in order to get the best deal for your project. Be sure to ask questions regarding references, qualifications and insurance cover before making any decisions as this will help ensure you are dealing with a reputable company who can provide quality workmanship at a competitive price.


In conclusion, the cost of roof repairs or replacements in the UK is highly dependent on the size of the job and the materials used. However, by obtaining multiple quotes from different contractors you can find one that fits within your budget. Additionally, asking questions about references and qualifications ensures that you are working with an experienced professional who can provide quality workmanship. Lastly, it is essential to check that the contractor carries adequate insurance cover in case of any future problems or damages. By taking all these steps, you can ensure that your roof repair or replacement will be completed for a fair and reasonable price.


Why is roofing so expensive?

The cost of roofing is affected by  a number of factors, such as the specialised labour involved,  the danger and risk of working at heights, plus the type and quality of materials used. For instance, a roof material like slate is much more expensive than concrete, clay or synthetic roof tiles. In addition to this, if you have a complex roof with many angles or valleys for water runoff, your roofing contractor will need to do additional work in order to make those slopes functional enough so that they don't leak. 


Furthermore, some roofs may require additional reinforcing materials such as waterproof membranes or insulation in order to ensure their structural integrity over time. All of these factors contribute to the cost of roofing, making it an expensive home improvement project.


All of these considerations contribute to the relatively expensive cost of roofing in the United Kingdom. However, Derby Roofers has the experience and expertise to give you the best deal on you roofing.


How do I find local roofers?

Local roofers are necessary for any residential or commercial roofing project. A local company can often provide better insight to the type of work that is needed because they are familiar with your area and have seen similar roofs in the past - this experience will help them understand how best to address your specific needs, so you want someone who has knowledge about roofing materials and regulations. The last thing you want when paying for an expensive project like this is surprise bills from different companies, which happens all too often when hiring someone who isn't local or reputable. We discuss this question on finding a good roofing contractor further on this page.


Should I pay a roofer upfront?

A roofer should never expect or ask for payment up front before the work has been completed. A reputable contractor will be very clear about how and when they will charge, so if this is not clearly stated at the beginning then it's a red flag that you're dealing with someone who isn't as professional as they let on. Many companies will require payment at the end of each job, but some may offer a deposit if it's your first project with them.


Can you live in a house while the roof is replaced UK?

Yes, it's certainly possible to live in a house while the roof is being replaced. The time it will take depends on what type of work needs done and how much there is to do. Some projects may only require one day where others may need more than a week depending on size and complexity. If your roofer has suggested that you move out, then you can be sure that it's going to take a bit more time.


How often should roof Be Replaced?

A roof is an important part of your home that you might not notice until it starts leaking or breaking apart. Even then, a regular inspection for potential problems can be done every six months according to National Federation of Roofing Contractors (NFRC). If you are afraid heights and need help from someone else up there with them when they do the survey; try asking one of their family members who lives nearby if possible because local contractors will come out at this time too. Read more information on roof replacement frequency for various types of roof tiles.


Do You Guarantee Your Roofing Work Quality?

Yes. We will refer you to a good number of happy customers to validate the quality of our work. This validation is an important step to us, we always want you to be comfortable trusting us with your home improvement project.


Do You Handle Roof Tiling Jobs?

Yes. We are your one-stop shop for all roofing services in Derbyshire, including all types of tiling, such as slate, clay, concrete and synthetic tiles.

Roofing in Derby's rich culture, from historic to modern building architecture.

It is no surprise that roofing and architecture in Derby go hand-in-hand, and whether you're just visiting the city or you live there, it's not hard to see why some of the most popular types of roofs include plain tiles, which are dull and lack ornamentation; patterned tiles such as pantiles or interlocking tiles; decorative ridge tiles; green roofs with plants growing on them. People have been living in homes for hundreds of years now, so naturally, styles have changed over time. One thing that has always remained constant though is the desire to have an aesthetically pleasing house/building/roof. Although many different materials have been used over the centuries to create roofs, perhaps one of the most widely used has been clay tiles. The city of Derby was once a large producer of high-quality clay roofing tiles. Clay tile roofs are by far the most popular in Derby architecture. If you visit an old or historic building in the city, there's a good chance it will have a clay tile roof. Another reason for their popularity is that they were very cost-effective and easy to use - even people with little experience could put them up! In addition, many types of buildings from churches to homes could benefit from using this material as it was flexible enough to be able to cope with different temperatures and weather conditions. Furthermore, due to the type of clay tile roofs found on older structures in Derbyshire, particularly cottages and farmhouses, they have a chance of staying in good condition for many more years.
