Hospitality Roofing: Frankie & Benny’s Hartlepool

Commercial Roofing for Restaurants and Hospitality Buildings

Restaurants and hospitality properties require roofing systems that deliver long-term protection, energy efficiency, and reliable performance. From new-build restaurants and national chain developments to refurbishment projects, commercial roofing contractors must understand the importance of working around strict programmes, design specifications, and operational requirements.

DVC Commercial Roofing provides specialist roofing solutions for hospitality, commercial, and public sector buildings across the UK. Working with main contractors, architects, and developers, we deliver high-quality roofing installations designed to meet the demands of modern commercial buildings.

Our recent roofing project for Frankie & Benny’s in Hartlepool demonstrates our experience delivering specialist roofing solutions for chain restaurants and hospitality developments.

Frankie & Benny’s Restaurant Roofing Project

DVC Commercial Roofing completed roofing works for the new Frankie & Benny’s restaurant development in Hartlepool, working alongside the main contractor STP Construction.

The project required a high-performance roofing system designed to meet the architect’s specification, with particular focus on airtightness, insulation performance, and long-term durability.

The roof build-up consisted of an airtight vapour control layer installed directly over the main roof rafters. A 130mm rigid insulation board was then fixed using Helifixings through counter battens to create a secure and efficient roofing system.

The roof was completed using Marley Eternity synthetic slate, providing the appearance of traditional slate while offering the benefits of a lightweight, durable, and consistent roofing material.

Commercial Roofing Specialists

Hospitality buildings such as restaurants, hotels, leisure centres, and entertainment venues require roofing systems that protect the property while allowing businesses to operate efficiently.

Restaurant roofing projects often involve additional considerations, including customer experience, energy efficiency, building regulations, and coordination with other contractors working on-site. A reliable roofing system helps protect the internal environment, equipment, and daily operations.

DVC Commercial Roofing works with hospitality clients and construction partners to deliver roofing solutions that balance performance, aesthetics, and practicality. Whether supporting a new restaurant development or completing refurbishment works, our team provides a professional service from installation through to completion.

New Build Commercial Roofing Expertise

New-build commercial developments require careful planning and coordination to ensure roofing systems are installed correctly and meet the required specification.

As experienced commercial roofing contractors, DVC works closely with architects, developers, and main roofing contractors to deliver roofing packages that integrate with wider construction programmes. Our team understands the importance of meeting deadlines while maintaining quality, safety, and attention to detail throughout every stage of a project.

For chain restaurants and national developments, consistency is essential. Each roofing installation must meet the required standards while providing a reliable system that performs throughout the building’s lifespan.

High-Performance Roofing Systems

The Frankie & Benny’s project highlights the importance of selecting the correct materials and installation methods for commercial buildings.

Airtight roofing systems help reduce unwanted air leakage, improving energy efficiency and supporting better internal temperature control. Correct installation of vapour control layers and insulation is essential to prevent moisture issues and maintain the performance of the roof structure.

Rigid insulation boards provide improved thermal performance by reducing heat loss through the roof. This helps commercial properties create more efficient buildings while supporting long-term operational savings.

Synthetic slate roofing systems, such as Marley Eternity, provide an attractive alternative to natural slate while offering durability, reduced weight, and consistent quality. These materials are particularly suited to commercial developments where appearance and performance are both important.
