Fix Commercial Roof in Brompton

Commercial Roof Repair: NTS in Brompton on Swale

After a severe storm caused substantial damage to the roofs at NTS’ site in Brompton on Swale, DVC Commercial Roofing Contractors led a full commercial roof repair and replacement. The project required careful planning to ensure safety, compliance, and minimal disruption to ongoing business operations. This case study details our approach, the challenges we faced, and the solutions we implemented.

Commercial Roof Inspection & Assessment

During our initial flat roof condition survey, we discovered that one roof had been completely blown off by the storm, causing damage to an adjacent unit. Additionally, the existing cap sheet contained asbestos, requiring engagement with a specialist asbestos removal contractor. The roof system was no longer providing adequate protection, creating risks for both the building and business operations.

Our Solution: Commercial Roof Repair & Replacement

Following discussions with the client and tenants, DVC Commercial Roofing determined that a full commercial flat roof replacement was required. Our team prioritised safety, compliance, and minimal disruption, coordinating closely with the asbestos removal specialists to ensure safe and efficient removal.

Once the asbestos and old roofing system were removed, we installed a new Alumasc 3-layer felt system, forming a durable, high-performance flat roofing system. This solution provides:

Exceptional waterproofing and protection against extreme weather
Enhanced thermal performance for energy efficiency
Long-term durability with low maintenance requirements

Q&A – Commercial Roof Repair at NTS, Brompton on Swale

What was the issue at the NTS site in Brompton on Swale?

Following severe storm conditions, a flat commercial roof at the NTS facility in Brompton on Swale was completely blown off. The damage exposed the building to water ingress and affected an adjacent unit, creating operational and safety risks.

Who carried out the commercial roof repair?

The project was delivered by DVC Commercial Roofing Contractors, an experienced commercial roofing company and established commercial roofing replacement contractors operating across Newcastle, Manchester, and the wider UK.

Was a repair or full replacement required?

After conducting detailed commercial roof surveys and a flat roof condition survey, it was determined that a full commercial flat roof replacement was required. The existing system had reached the end of its serviceable life, and storm damage made simple patch repairs unsuitable.

Was asbestos discovered during the project?

Yes. The cap sheet of the existing felt system contained asbestos. We coordinated with licensed asbestos removal specialists to ensure full regulatory compliance and safe removal before commencing the new commercial flat roof construction.

What roofing system was installed?

We installed a high-performance three-layer felt a roof system designed for durability and weather resistance. Many clients ask, what is roofing felt?
Roofing felt is a reinforced bituminous membrane system commonly used in commercial flat roof construction due to its strength, waterproofing capability, and longevity.

Why choose a felt system instead of a single ply flat roof?

While a single ply flat roof can be suitable for certain applications, this project required a robust multi-layer felt system to provide enhanced wind uplift resistance and long-term durability in a high-exposure location.
