Commercial Pitched Roofing Experts in Dorset
Slate, tile, and lead roofing systems for shopping centres, care homes, leisure and community centres, and blocks of flats.
Commercial Pitched Roofing, Done Properly
Commercial pitched roofing covers a different range of buildings to a domestic re-roof — shopping centres, blocks of flats, care homes, leisure centres, and community centres, each with its own access, occupancy, and structural considerations. From first contact we provide a full specification, material data sheets, and warranty information, backed up with site visits to walk through each stage.
We work closely with clients throughout, from initial survey to sign-off, so there are no surprises partway through a project. Where a roof's ventilation is in question, we inspect from both inside and outside to assess whether damp is building up within the roof structure, and can arrange a core sample test — a small section removed down to the joists to check the existing build-up and moisture levels — before recommending next steps.
Drone surveys are available where access is restricted or unsafe, giving us a full picture of the roof without scaffold or rope access being needed before we quote.

How We Work on Commercial Sites
Site Survey & Scope Agreed
We survey the roof in full, including drone inspection where access is restricted, and can carry out a core sample test to check the existing build-up. You get a written scope and specification before anything is agreed.
Scheduling Around Your Building
We agree the programme around how the building is used — shopping centres, care homes, and community buildings all have different occupancy patterns, and we plan access and working hours accordingly.
Installation with Safety & Access Management
RAMS are issued before we arrive, our own qualified operatives carry out the work, and access is coordinated with your site team throughout.
Sign-off, Warranty & Documentation
We walk the completed roof with you or your facilities team, then hand over the full pack: [CONFIRM warranty terms — manufacturer tile/slate guarantee plus workmanship guarantee, wording to be agreed with client] and product data, ready for your building file.

★★★★★“We needed our whole pitched roof completely refurbished and the insulation upgraded. Sam & Lee were very helpful from the initial consultation, backing this up with a very detailed step by step proposal. The work was carried out on time and very efficiently. The site was left tidy every day and we were kept up to date with the progress at the end of each day. Highly recommend to anybody looking for a local roofing expert with very competitive pricing. Very friendly team.”
★★★★★“We had a new double storey extension built at our house and contacted the Pitched Roofing Company to provide a quotation for the new roof. The guys came round the following day to discuss and run through the options and ideas. Each stage of the process they were very informative and professional. The work was carried out to the highest standard and they really put our mind at rest as it was a big decision for us to complete this work.”
★★★★★“Very polite gentleman, always a smile and very reliable. I can see the roof from the upstairs of the house and I am very satisfied with the work completed. Quoted a better price than 2 others in the local area and Sam was very helpful with explaining the process.”
★★★★★“Fantastic guys who are very friendly and very professional. So pleased we got the roof done properly and with such a high performance material. Going to use them again to build a green roof on the summerhouse!”
We'll assess the roof's condition before we quote, so you only pay to fix what's actually wrong.

We work directly with main contractors, facilities managers, and property owners, fitting our programme around yours. Most commercial pitched roofs are specified in slate, tile, or a combination with lead detailing, and we'll advise which suits the building. That means agreed access arrangements, RAMS in place before we start, and a single point of contact from survey through to sign-off.
Commercial Pitched Roofing Across Dorset & Hampshire
Working from Poole puts the retail parks, care homes, and blocks of flats of Bournemouth, Poole, and Christchurch on our doorstep, and we are regularly on leisure and community buildings across the wider Dorset area. Ringwood and the New Forest corridor are a short run, and Southampton and Hampshire are well within range for phased projects.
For facilities managers, proximity is practical rather than sentimental. It means we can attend a survey quickly, respond when a slipped tile or leak appears mid-term, and return for planned maintenance without travel eating into the day. If you manage a portfolio spread across the region, we can programme visits together.
Yes. Every quote follows a survey, including a drone inspection where access is restricted or unsafe, so the price reflects the actual condition of the roof. Both the survey and the quote are free.
Every commercial project is handed over with a full documentation pack covering the manufacturer guarantee on materials and our workmanship guarantee. [CONFIRM exact warranty terms with client]
Yes. A core sample takes a small section of the roof down to the joists so we can check the existing build-up and moisture levels. On roofs where ventilation or damp is in question, it tells us whether a repair will hold or a re-roof is the sensible option.
We do. A drone gives us a full picture of the roof without scaffold or rope access being needed, which is often the quickest and safest way to assess a large or awkward commercial roof before we quote.
