Commercial roof surveys in Walsall
Roofcheck provides commercial and industrial roof surveys across Walsall and the Black Country, for the estates teams, landlords and occupiers of its hospital, colleges, shopping centre, works and logistics units who need a clear picture of a roof’s condition. Moisture mapping, thermography, electronic leak detection, drone and RAAC surveys reach every part of the WS postcode area, from Bloxwich to Lichfield.
The roofs we survey here
Walsall’s commercial roofs run from the Saddlers Centre and the town centre’s offices to Walsall Manor Hospital, the college and university campuses, and the industrial and logistics sites around junction 10 of the M6.
The borough’s canals run past works and warehouses whose flat roofs have been patched and extended many times, and every patch and extension adds another joint where water can find its way into the insulation.
Walsall Manor Hospital
Walsall Healthcare NHS Trust is the only provider of NHS acute care in Walsall, and its Manor Hospital on Moat Road houses the full range of district general hospital services under one roof; the trust also runs community services from some 60 sites and a palliative care centre at Goscote. Thermography and electronic leak detection read a hospital roof from above, so no ward or clinic below has to move.
Walsall College and the university’s Walsall Campus
Walsall College teaches at its Wisemore Campus in the town and runs Construction College Midlands, a Birmingham campus that trains scaffolders, roofers and groundworkers, and the University of Wolverhampton has a Walsall Campus. Teaching, workshop and residence roofs are surveyed in visits agreed with each estates team, clear of exams and practical sessions.
RAAC in public buildings
Walsall had no school on the Department for Education’s last published list of settings with confirmed RAAC. Flat concrete roofs from the mid-1950s to the mid-1990s turn up on offices, depots and community halls as well as schools, and a RAAC survey settles whether a given roof has the planks.
The Saddlers Centre on Park Street
The Saddlers Centre on Park Street, in the heart of Walsall’s town centre, is home to over 50 stores, cafes and eateries, with a car park of over 450 spaces. Moisture mapping across a shopping centre’s flat roofs shows where water sits in the insulation, and electronic leak detection finds where it got in.
The M6 junction 10 cluster
Walsall Council’s M6 junction 10 cluster offers 64 hectares of employment land for manufacturing and logistics, the SPARK development among its sites, around a junction that has had £78m of improvements. Industrial roofs here are surveyed by drone, with thermography to mark the wet bays and core samples to confirm what lies under them, so a landlord or tenant can see the whole roof before deciding on repairs.
Solar on industrial and logistics roofs
New industrial units by the M6 and older works across the borough both need a condition survey and moisture mapping before solar goes up, so no array is laid over a hidden problem.

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 Walsall 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 logistics units in Walsall near the M6?
Yes. Industrial and logistics roofs are surveyed by drone and thermography, with core samples where the readings call for them, and visits fit around the site’s deliveries and shift patterns.
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 shopping centre roofs in Walsall town centre?
Yes. Flat roofs over shops are checked with moisture mapping and electronic leak detection, with access agreed with centre management so trading goes on below.
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 Walsall 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 hospital and college roofs in Walsall?
Yes. Clinical and teaching roofs are surveyed from above, and every visit is arranged with the estates team so that wards and classrooms stay in use.
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.
