Commercial roof surveys in Perth
Roofcheck provides commercial and industrial roof surveys across Perth and Perthshire, for the people who manage its hospital, college, head offices, museum, theatre and business parks and need a sound record of each roof. Moisture mapping, thermography, electronic leak detection, drone and RAAC surveys reach the PH postcode area, from Scone and Bridge of Earn to Crieff, Auchterarder, Blairgowrie and Pitlochry.
The roofs we survey here
Perth’s commercial roofs run from Perth Royal Infirmary and UHI Perth’s campus on Crieff Road to Perth Museum, the theatre and concert hall, the shops of the city centre, the head offices of SSE and Aviva, and the units of the Inveralmond Industrial Estate and the Perth Food and Drink Park.
Perth’s Georgian and Victorian streets along the Tay sit beside flat-roofed offices and new business units, so one survey can move from slate and lead to single-ply membranes on the same few streets.
Perth Royal Infirmary
NHS Tayside provides health care for Angus, Dundee and Perth and Kinross, and runs Perth Royal Infirmary on Taymount Terrace. Moisture mapping and thermography read the hospital’s roofs from outside, so wards and clinics carry on.
UHI Perth
UHI Perth is a leafy college on the outskirts of the city, on Crieff Road, with just under 7,000 students and over 400 teaching and support staff. Its teaching blocks and workshops are surveyed in visits agreed with the college’s estates team, around classes.
RAAC, from the Scottish Government
Perth and Kinross was listed by the Scottish Government as one of 16 council areas with RAAC in schools, and 39 school and early learning locations were found across Scotland from 1,477 buildings assessed. Perth’s other public buildings with flat concrete roofs from the mid-1950s to the mid-1990s can still hide the planks, so a RAAC survey is worth having.
Perth Museum, the theatre and the shops
Perth Museum, on St John’s Place, is home to the Stone of Destiny, Perth Theatre and Perth Concert Hall stage plays and concerts, and Perth’s independent shops line the city centre’s streets. Leaks in public building and shop roofs are traced with electronic leak detection, so the right patch is repaired and visitors carry on.
SSE, Aviva and the Food and Drink Park
SSE has its headquarters in Perth, with 2,000 staff in the area and its National Training Centre on the Inveralmond Industrial Estate, Aviva employs 900 people in Perth and Kinross at its head office site at Pitheavlis, and the Perth Food and Drink Park has grown to take in Northfield Business Park. Office, training and food production roofs are surveyed by drone and thermography, with access agreed with each occupier.
Solar in the Fair City
Perth’s business parks and food units can carry solar arrays, and each roof should first pass a condition survey and moisture mapping, so the panels go onto a dry, sound deck.

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 Perth 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 head offices and business parks in Perth?
Yes. Office, training centre and food production roofs are surveyed by drone and thermography, with access agreed with each occupier and site manager.
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 Perth Royal Infirmary and the college in Perth?
Yes. Ward and teaching roofs are read with moisture mapping and thermography from the roof surface, in visits planned with each estates team.
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 Perth 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 museums, theatres and shops in Perth city centre?
Yes. Public building and shop roofs in the city centre are tested with electronic leak detection and moisture mapping, with access agreed with each venue or landlord.
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.
