Commercial roof problems can interrupt trading, damage stock and disrupt residents. KC Roofing & Scaffolding Ltd works with businesses, landlords, managing agents and facilities teams across East London, North London and Essex to assess defects and plan repairs or replacement.

Repairs, waterproofing and planned maintenance

• Leak investigation and repairs to flat and pitched roofs.
• Felt, GRP and suitable liquid waterproofing systems.
• Roof outlets, guttering, parapets and vulnerable junctions.
• Lead flashings, rooflights and details around rooftop plant.
• Condition surveys and maintenance recommendations.
• In-house scaffolding coordinated with roofing works.

The specification depends on the existing roof, substrate condition, drainage and use of the building. An overlay is considered only where the construction is suitable; some roofs need local repair or full replacement instead.

Working around an occupied building

We discuss access, working hours, resident or tenant communication and protection of entrances before agreeing the programme. Planning considers work at height, hot works where applicable, waste handling and essential access. Job-specific risk assessments and method statements are prepared for the agreed works.

From inspection to completion

1. Provide the address, roof information, known leaks and previous reports.
2. We assess the roof and identify safe inspection and working access.
3. You receive a written scope and quotation, with priorities and exclusions explained.
4. We agree the programme and coordinate roofing and scaffolding.
5. Completion information and photographs are provided for the work carried out.

Evidence for your maintenance budget

A written roof condition survey helps prioritise urgent defects and plan longer-term spending. The inspection scope, reporting requirements and fee are agreed separately from a works quotation. Drone inspection may help view difficult areas, subject to safe operation, weather and restrictions.

Frequently asked questions

Can the building remain occupied?

Often it can, but this depends on the works and protection required. We assess disruption and restrictions before confirming the programme.

Do you replace every leaking commercial roof?

No. We consider repairs, maintenance and suitable refurbishment before recommending replacement. The findings and roof condition determine the proposal.

What insurance and guarantees apply?

We carry £10 million public liability insurance. Company guarantee terms and any eligible insurance-backed cover are set out in writing for the specified project; cover is not automatic for every roof type or repair.
