How much does commercial roof coating cost?
There is no fixed rate, because it depends on the roof area, its condition, the substrate and the system specified. A heavily corroded metal roof needing extensive cut-edge work costs more to prep and coat than sound sheeting needing a refresh. We do not publish a price list. The honest way to an accurate figure is a free survey, after which you get a written, no-obligation quote.
How long does liquid roof coating last?
It depends on the product, the condition of the substrate and how well the surface was prepared, so we will not quote a single guaranteed lifespan. Many manufacturer systems carry their own guarantee periods, which we confirm in writing for your specification at survey. Thorough prep and the right system are what make a coating last, and that is what the survey settles.
Is roof coating a good alternative to replacement?
Often, not always. Where the structure is sound and the issues are surface wear, leaks at laps or fixings, or surface corrosion, coating restores the weatherproofing far more cheaply and with less disruption than replacement. Where the substrate itself has failed, replacement is the better investment. We tell you straight which applies after inspecting the roof, with no obligation.
Do you do a free survey?
Yes, and it comes first. We won't price a building we haven't looked at properly. A surveyor walks the roof or the wall, works out what it actually needs, and only then do you get a recommendation and a figure.
Do you work on live commercial sites?
Most of our work is on occupied buildings. Factories keep running, shops keep trading, cattle stay in the shed. We plan access, safety and sequencing around your operation so the job barely touches it.
Can a coating save us a full replacement?
Often, yes. Where the substrate is sound but weathered, coating buys it more life for a fraction of the disruption of stripping and replacing. Where it's too far gone, we'll say so. Coating over a failing roof just hides the bill until next winter.
Do you publish fixed prices?
No, and be wary of anyone who does without seeing the building. Access, condition, prep and repairs swing the cost too much for that. We quote once we know what we're actually dealing with.
