Start with what you need to solve

Choose the route that matches your building.

Tell us whether the issue is urgent, the roof needs a plan or a project is ready. We will take you through the questions that matter for that route.

Immediate risk review

A leak or defect needs attention

Tell us where the water or damage is showing so the immediate risk and repair route can be reviewed.

  • Show where water, damage or loss of weathering is visible.
  • Explain what must remain operational and whether stock, people or equipment are exposed.
  • TCR reviews the immediate risk before confirming the repair or investigation route.
Report the issue

Evidence before scope

You need to understand the roof

Arrange a combined roof condition report and leak detection survey before committing to repair or refurbishment.

  • Combine a roof condition review and leak investigation in one planned visit.
  • Record visible defects, likely water routes, priorities and areas needing further investigation.
  • Use the evidence to compare repair, refurbishment, overcladding or replacement.
Arrange a professional survey

Project or tender review

You have a project or tender

Share the drawings, specification, budget stage or required outcome so the scope and delivery route can be reviewed.

  • Upload drawings, specifications, pricing schedules, programme information and the return date.
  • Review scope interfaces, access, live-site controls and anything that needs clarification.
  • Give the estimating team a structured brief instead of a disconnected collection of files.

A roofing or cladding decision rarely sits in isolation. Select a layer to see the questions TCR considers before recommending repair, refurbishment, overcladding or replacement.

01

Connected building review

Commercial roofing systems

Review the roof construction, current condition, interfaces and operational constraints before choosing the scope.

  • Repair, coating, overcladding and replacement compared where relevant
  • Roof build-up, insulation, sheets, fixings and structural interfaces considered together
  • Programme planned around access, weather and the live building

02

Connected building review

Rooflights, penetrations and leak routes

The source of a defect can sit away from where water finally appears. Roof details and interfaces need to be reviewed as part of the whole system.

  • Rooflights, penetrations, laps, flashings and junctions checked together
  • Visible defects and likely water routes recorded before scope
  • Renewal and remedial options prioritised against condition
Explore roof surveys
03

Connected building review

Gutters, outlets and rainwater routes

Drainage performance depends on falls, joints, outlets, capacity and downpipe condition. Gutters should be reviewed as their own connected system.

  • Gutter linings, joints, falls and local corrosion assessed
  • Outlets, overflows, downpipes and discharge routes checked together
  • Repair, lining and replacement options prioritised around condition and capacity

04

Connected building review

Wall cladding and façade interfaces

External walls, corners, openings and roof junctions all influence weathering, fire performance and the appearance of the building.

  • Metal cladding, overcladding and rainscreen routes reviewed
  • Openings, corners, flashings and wall-to-roof interfaces coordinated
  • Thermal, fire and operational requirements considered in the scope

05

Connected building review

Scaffolding, safety netting and site controls

The right access and protection strategy affects cost, programme, safety and how successfully the building can remain operational.

  • Scaffold, MEWP, safety netting and segregation options considered
  • Working height, lifts, total length and operating constraints reviewed
  • Deliveries, public interfaces and protected areas planned early

Connected building review

Survey evidence, delivery and handover

A clear evidence trail helps clients compare options, approve the work and understand what has been completed.

  • Survey findings translated into a clear scope and priorities
  • Programme, interfaces and responsibilities coordinated before work
  • Completion photographs, records, warranties and actions organised at handover

What you can expect

Clear advice before you commit to work.

You should understand what is wrong, what can wait, what the practical options are and what each next step is intended to achieve.

01

A clear starting point

We review the issue, building use, available records and the decision you need to make before recommending the next action.

02

The right solution for your building

Repair, maintenance, coating, overcladding and replacement are compared where they are relevant to the building.

03

A plan for an operating site

Access, deliveries, temporary weathering, noisy work and operating hours are considered before the programme is agreed.

04

Useful evidence at handover

Completion photographs, records, warranties and maintenance actions are organised around the agreed project scope.

Asbestos roof overcladding around a live industrial operation

Powell McNeil needed a cost-effective route for an ageing asbestos-cement roof. TCR delivered a six-week overclad programme around restricted access while the facility remained operational.

The building still has a job to do

The work must fit around the way the building operates.

A warehouse, factory, supermarket and office do not operate in the same way. Access, stock, working hours, fire strategy and tenant responsibilities are considered before the programme is agreed.

The first operational question

What must keep working while the roofing or cladding work takes place?

Answers before you arrange the next step

Questions clients ask before a survey or proposal.

These answers explain how projects begin, what information helps and how work can be planned around an operating building.

Need to discuss an active leak?020 3960 5145
01Do you work across the whole UK?

Yes. TCR reviews and delivers planned commercial roofing, cladding and building-envelope projects across the UK. Attendance, mobilisation and suitability depend on the location, scope, access and urgency.

02Can you work around an operating business?

Yes, where the project and site conditions allow it. The plan can consider access routes, segregation, temporary weathering, noisy work, deliveries, stock protection and any shutdown periods before work starts.

03How do you decide whether a roof should be repaired, refurbished or replaced?

The decision depends on the roof system, condition, defect pattern, remaining serviceability, insulation requirements, interfaces, budget and how long the asset needs to perform. A survey may be needed before a reliable recommendation can be made.

04Do you survey the roof before recommending work?

For condition-led projects, a roof survey is usually the best place to begin. It provides evidence of visible defects, priorities and the areas that need further investigation before repair, refurbishment or replacement is scoped.

05Can you handle both roofing and wall cladding?

Yes. TCR can coordinate commercial roofing, wall cladding, rainscreen interfaces, rooflights, gutters and associated envelope details where the project requires one joined-up package.

06Can you work from an existing specification or tender package?

Yes. Send the drawings, specification, pricing schedule, programme and return date. TCR can review the scope, interfaces, access requirements and buildability before confirming the tender response.

07What information helps you prepare an accurate next step?

The site postcode, building use, photographs, approximate affected area, existing roof or cladding type, access constraints, target dates and any surveys or drawings will make the first review more useful.

08Can I send photographs, surveys, drawings or tender documents?

Yes. The guided project brief allows supporting files to be added. Large or numerous documents can also be shared through a secure project link after the initial brief is received.
