Improve the roof. Plan the investment.
A refurbishment starts with a practical question: what is worth keeping? KRP Roofing provides commercial roof refurbishment for owners, managing agents and facilities teams planning the next stage of their building’s life.
Build the scope around the existing roof
Bring waterproofing, insulation, rooflights, flashings and drainage into one brief. A condition assessment establishes which parts can be retained and what needs replacing. That gives the project a clear starting point before a system is specified.
From an ageing roof to a defined project
Use the first discussion to explain the roof’s condition, the outcome you need and the building’s operating constraints. If you have a survey or specification, we can start there. If you do not, tell us what prompted the project: recurring leaks, thermal performance, planned investment or a change of use.
What your refurbishment brief should cover
- Existing covering and deck condition, including moisture and defects
- Waterproofing, insulation and details at penetrations and edges
- Rooflights, gutters and drainage connections
- Access, occupied areas, working hours and phasing
- Required performance, project budget and target programme
Refurbishment or full replacement?
Refurbishment depends on the suitability of the existing construction. Where retention is unsuitable, roof replacement provides a separate route. Compare both options against the building’s condition, intended use and investment plans.
Can every commercial roof be refurbished?
No. Condition, trapped moisture, structural capacity and compatibility with the proposed system must be assessed. The scope should explain what is being retained and why.
Do I need a specification before contacting KRP?
No. Start with the building location and the outcome you need. An existing survey or specification is useful, but an initial conversation can start without one.
Can an existing commercial roof be overlaid?
An overlay may be suitable where the existing roof is sound and compatible with the proposed system. Assessment of moisture, substrate condition, loading and detailing is needed before this can be specified.
