Commercial roof surveys in Wolverhampton
Roofcheck provides commercial and industrial roof surveys across Wolverhampton and the Black Country, for the estates teams, owners and operators of its hospital, university, college, shopping centre and manufacturing plants who need a clear view of a roof’s condition. Moisture mapping, thermography, electronic leak detection, drone and RAAC surveys reach every part of the WV postcode area, from Codsall to Bilston.
The roofs we survey here
Wolverhampton’s commercial roofs range from the Mander Shopping Centre and the hotels and offices of the city centre to New Cross Hospital, the university’s campuses, and the manufacturing plants of i54 South Staffordshire by the M54.
Flat roofs on the city’s Victorian and post-war buildings sit beside brand new sheds and campus blocks, and each kind leaks in its own way: old roofs at their parapet gutters and outlets, new ones at laps, fixings and penetrations.
New Cross Hospital and the Royal Wolverhampton
The Royal Wolverhampton NHS Trust, one of the largest acute and community providers in the West Midlands, has more than 850 beds on its New Cross site and also runs Cannock Chase Hospital and West Park Hospital. Moisture mapping and electronic leak detection find the water from above, so the wards under a roof carry on as normal and the findings show exactly which areas need repair.
Springfield Campus and the City Learning Quarter
The University of Wolverhampton’s £45 million Springfield Campus facility stands on Europe’s largest specialist architecture and built environment site, and City of Wolverhampton College’s new four-storey city centre campus is the flagship of the council’s £61 million City Learning Quarter. A new campus roof is worth surveying in its first condition, so that later readings have a record to be checked against.
RAAC in public buildings
The Department for Education’s last published list of settings with confirmed RAAC included no school in Wolverhampton. The planks went into many kinds of flat-roofed public building from the mid-1950s to the mid-1990s, so libraries, clinics and offices of that era are worth a RAAC survey too.
The Mander Shopping Centre and the Britannia Hotel
The Mander Shopping Centre brings fashion, home, beauty and food shops together under one roof, and the Britannia Hotel offers rooms in the heart of the city centre. Over a shopping centre or a hotel, electronic leak detection finds the breach without disturbing the floors below, and thermography shows how far the water has spread.
i54 South Staffordshire and Wolverhampton Business Park
i54 South Staffordshire, with its own access from junction 2 of the M54, is a 300-acre site where over 2.5 million sq ft of new buildings employ some 2,700 people, and Wolverhampton Business Park offers Grade A offices beside the same junction. Big new manufacturing roofs are surveyed by drone and thermography, so a defect is found before it turns into a leak over the production floor.
Solar on factory and campus roofs
Before a Wolverhampton factory, campus building or office takes on solar panels, a condition survey and moisture mapping make sure the roof beneath them is dry and sound.

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 Wolverhampton 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 manufacturing plants in Wolverhampton, such as those at i54?
Yes. Large production roofs are mapped by drone and thermography, and each visit follows the site’s own permits, inductions 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 hotel and shopping centre roofs in Wolverhampton city centre?
Yes. Thermography and electronic leak detection work from the roof, so guests and shoppers below are not disturbed, and access is agreed with each building’s managers.
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 Wolverhampton 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 university and hospital buildings in Wolverhampton?
Yes. Campus and clinical roofs are surveyed from above, around their plant and rooflights, and visits are booked with each estates team in advance, around clinics, lectures and exams.
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.
