Fix the Problem Before It Gets Worse
Industrial Roofing That Works as Hard as You Do
Your industrial site needs a roof you don’t have to think twice about—one that withstands the weather, supports your equipment, and won’t interrupt daily operations with leaks, safety issues, or emergency callouts. That’s where CRS Roofing comes in.
We specialise in roofing for large-scale industrial buildings—factories, production facilities, warehouses, and more—where strength, performance, and reliability are non-negotiable. Whether you’re maintaining an existing structure or planning a full roof replacement, we’ll help you find the most cost-effective, long-lasting solution.
Built for Scale. Backed by Expertise.
Industrial roofs cover large areas, often housing sensitive machinery and expensive stock. They demand more than a basic installation—they require a team that understands how to work safely at scale, communicate clearly, and deliver on time.
Built for Scale. Backed by Expertise.
When you’re running an industrial operation, the last thing you want is roof trouble slowing down production or putting your facility at risk. At CRS Roofing, we specialise in delivering long-lasting, practical solutions tailored to the unique demands of industrial buildings.
Full Roof Replacements
If your roof is reaching the end of its lifespan, we offer complete replacement systems built for long-term performance.
Targeted Repairs & Leak Detection
Roof problems can’t wait in an industrial setting. Our team is equipped to quickly identify the source of any leaks or damage and carry out repairs with minimal disruption to your operations.
Flat & Low-Slope Roofing Systems
Many industrial buildings feature flat or gently sloping roofs, which require specialist materials and expertise. We install EPDM, TPO, felt, and GRP systems to the highest standard—always in line with manufacturer specifications—so you get maximum reliability and watertight performance.
Metal Roof Refurbishment & Coatings
If your steel or aluminium roof is showing signs of ageing but doesn’t yet need full replacement, refurbishment could be the answer. We apply protective coatings that seal the surface, restore appearance, and extend the roof’s life—saving you money and downtime.
Preventative Maintenance Plans
Small issues often become big problems if left unchecked. Our maintenance programmes include scheduled inspections that help identify wear and tear early, so you can avoid unexpected costs and stay ahead of weather-related risks. It’s a simple way to protect your investment year-round.
Guttering & Drainage Upgrades
Efficient drainage is essential in industrial settings to avoid water pooling, damp ingress, or structural damage. We install and maintain guttering systems that handle heavy rainfall and ensure water is directed safely away from your building—keeping your workplace dry and secure.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Is industrial roofing different from commercial roofing?
Yes, and knowing the difference can help you choose the right contractor and roofing system.
Commercial roofs are generally installed on buildings like shops, schools, office blocks, and restaurants. These projects often prioritise aesthetics and lightweight materials. The roofing systems used here are built to look good and manage light foot traffic or typical weather conditions.
Industrial roofing, however, is a different challenge entirely. These roofs are found on warehouses, factories, plants, and manufacturing facilities — sites that operate around the clock, house heavy machinery, and face intense usage. The roof must not only handle increased structural load, but also withstand chemical exposure, thermal extremes, and frequent equipment access.
Industrial roofs are often larger in scale, more complex in design, and require higher-performance materials to meet strict health, safety, and durability standards. Choosing a contractor with specialist knowledge in industrial settings is critical to avoid future problems.
Which roofing systems are best for industrial buildings?
The ideal roofing system depends on your building’s design, how it’s used, and the environmental challenges it faces. Some of the most commonly used and recommended systems include:
- EPDM (rubber) – Flexible, long-lasting, and ideal for large roofs
- TPO – Lightweight and energy-efficient
- GRP (fibreglass) – Seamless and chemical-resistant
- Metal roofing – Very durable and suited to heavy-duty environments
- We’ll recommend the right system based on your building’s layout, usage, and exposure.
Each option has distinct advantages. Our team will carry out a site inspection and recommend the best material based on your usage, local climate, access needs, and long-term maintenance expectations.
How long does it take to install a new industrial roof?
The timeframe can vary significantly depending on several factors — including the type of roofing system chosen, building size, site access, weather conditions, and whether the installation is straightforward or part of a refurbishment.
Before starting any work, we’ll provide you with a detailed timeline outlining key stages of the project. We also maintain consistent communication during the works to keep you updated and avoid surprises. Our priority is always to minimise disruption while ensuring a durable, high-quality result.
What’s the most durable roofing option for industrial use?
In most cases, metal roofing systems provide the greatest durability, particularly when made from galvanised steel or aluminium. With the right installation and maintenance, these roofs can last upwards of 40 to 50 years, making them an excellent long-term investment.
The longevity of any industrial roof depends not only on the material but also on proper installation and routine maintenance. We’ll help you compare initial installation costs with lifetime performance to ensure you get maximum return on investment.
Can roofing work be completed while the site is operational?
Yes, and it’s something we regularly do. We know that shutting down a production line or warehouse floor is rarely an option, so we plan meticulously to work around your operations. Our installers are trained to work safely in live environments and we always comply with all site-specific risk assessments and method statements. We’ll make sure your operations continue running smoothly while the roofing work is being completed to the highest standard.
Do you offer ongoing maintenance for industrial roofs?
Absolutely. Preventative maintenance is one of the smartest ways to protect your investment. Industrial roofing systems are exposed to all kinds of stress — from weather extremes to foot traffic and plant equipment — so routine care is vital.
Our maintenance services include:
- Regular roof inspections (annual or bi-annual)
- Clearing debris and blockages
- Checking for signs of wear, cracks, or leaks
- Gutter and drainage checks
Small repairs before they become larger, costlier issues
We offer tailored maintenance packages depending on the size of your roof, site activity, and roofing system type. These help extend the lifespan of your roof and reduce unexpected costs in the long run.
How do I know when it’s time to repair or replace my industrial roof?
Some common signs your roof needs professional attention include: Persistent or spreading leaks, pooling water after rainfall, rusting or corroded panels, bubbling, blistering, or cracking of the surface, damage around ventilation systems or skylights, noticeable sagging or movement of roof sections, energy bills creeping up due to poor insulation.
If your roof is 20 years or older, it’s also worth considering a condition survey even if it looks sound. We offer full roofing inspections with photo documentation and honest advice on whether repair, refurbishment, or replacement is the most cost-effective option.
