Commercial roof surveys in Middlesbrough
Roofcheck provides commercial and industrial roof surveys across Middlesbrough and Teesside, for the people who manage its hospital, university, college, shopping centre and industrial sites and need a reliable account of a roof’s condition. Moisture mapping, thermography, electronic leak detection, drone and RAAC surveys reach every part of the TS postcode area, from Redcar to Yarm.
The roofs we survey here
Middlesbrough’s commercial roofs range from the Cleveland Centre and the town centre’s offices to the James Cook University Hospital on Marton Road, the Teesside University campus, and the plants and warehouses of Teesworks and Wilton International along the River Tees.
Weather off the North Sea is hard on flat roofs here: laps lift, outlets fill with debris, and water pools on decks that have lost their falls before finding a way into the insulation.
The James Cook University Hospital
South Tees Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust runs the James Cook University Hospital on Marton Road, a regional major trauma centre and tertiary hospital with a floodlit helipad, and the Friarage Hospital in Northallerton, its main site for planned orthopaedic surgery. Moisture mapping and thermography work from the roof surface, so trauma, theatre and ward areas are never disturbed.
Teesside University and Middlesbrough College
Teesside University has a lively town-centre campus backed by £300m of investment, and Middlesbrough College runs University Centre Middlesbrough and technical training with TTE. Teaching buildings, labs and engineering workshops are surveyed in visits planned with each estates team, so classes and practicals go ahead.
RAAC in public buildings
No Middlesbrough school or college was on the Department for Education’s last published list of settings with confirmed RAAC. Council buildings, clinics and offices with flat concrete roofs from the mid-1950s to the mid-1990s can still contain the planks, and a RAAC survey is how to know.
The Cleveland Centre and the Town Hall
The Cleveland Centre offers a mix of shopping, food and essential services under one roof, and Middlesbrough Town Hall stands on Albert Road. Large flat roofs over shops and public halls are surveyed with electronic leak detection, which pins down each breach without anyone lifting the membrane.
Teesworks and Wilton International
Teesworks covers 4,500 acres on the banks of the River Tees, which it calls Europe’s largest brownfield site, and Wilton International offers energy-intensive industry large-scale development land, energy and utilities on Teesside. Plant buildings, warehouses and new industrial units on sites this size are surveyed by drone, with thermography to find wet insulation and core samples to confirm it. On a working industrial site, every roof visit runs under its permit-to-work system, with access agreed in advance.
Solar on Teesside’s industrial roofs
Industrial and commercial roofs here are natural places for solar, but a Middlesbrough roof needs a condition survey and moisture mapping before any array goes on it.

Questions about roof surveys
Can you survey a hospital, school or campus without disrupting it?
Yes. Surveys are carried out from the roof, and visits are planned around clinical areas, term dates and building access. Any method that needs access inside the building, such as some RAAC inspections, is agreed with you beforehand.
Can you check a Middlesbrough school or public building for RAAC?
Yes. A RAAC survey confirms whether panels are present, records cracking, deflection and water staining, and sets out a next step for each area. It is worth considering for any flat-roofed building from the mid-1950s to the mid-1990s.
Do you survey industrial and process plant buildings in Middlesbrough and on Teesworks?
Yes. Plant buildings, warehouses and workshops are surveyed by drone and thermography, and every visit keeps to the site’s permits and safety rules.
Do you offer pre-solar roof surveys?
Yes. Before panels go on, a condition survey and moisture mapping show whether the roof needs work first. Once the panels are up, anything the roof needs means lifting them first, and the bill for that dwarfs the cost of a survey.
Can you survey hospital and university roofs in Middlesbrough?
Yes. Clinical and campus roofs are read from above with thermography and electronic leak detection, with access planned with the estates team so wards and lectures carry on.
What roof systems do you survey?
All the main systems on UK commercial roofs: single ply membranes from manufacturers such as Bauder, IKO, Fatra, Renolit and Sika Sarnafil, built-up felt, liquid applied coatings, mastic asphalt, profiled metal and standing seam.
Can you survey several buildings across Middlesbrough and beyond?
Yes. For estates and portfolios, every building can be surveyed to the same scope, with reports in the same format so they can be compared side by side.
Do you survey shopping centre and civic building roofs in Middlesbrough?
Yes. Electronic leak detection and moisture mapping trace water through flat roofs over shops and public halls, and access is agreed with each building’s management so that the public spaces below stay open.
Do you work on tenanted buildings?
Yes. One report can serve the landlord, the tenant, the contractor and the insurer, so everyone works from the same findings.
How much does a roof survey in Middlesbrough cost?
Cost depends on the roof area, the roof system and the methods needed. Call 0113 868 0097 or start a quote online with the approximate roof area and what you need to find out, and you’ll receive a written quote.
Do you cover the towns around Middlesbrough?
Yes. Surveys cover the whole TS postcode area, from the town centre to Redcar, Guisborough, Saltburn, Stockton-on-Tees, Yarm and Hartlepool.
