Commercial Roof Systems - The Roof-Pro System provides benefits to all those involved in the specification of a commercial build, from the client – also known as the building owner – to the designers and contractors.

For building owners, insisting that all roof-top units are to be installed on Roof-Pro Systems provides enormous benefits. Roof-Pro Systems eliminate the need to incorporate fixed penetrative supports such as concrete curbs, reducing contractors' time on site, lessening the risk of leaks and, most of all, facilitating the flexibility in service locations not just on initial installations, but also on all future upgrades by tenants.

One of the biggest benefits of our Roof-Pro Systems is that you can maintain, and even re-roof, your properties without interruption to services. This would usually involve the expensive decommissioning of services from the roof, often by crane. This provides a massive inconvenience to tenants and is often impossible for operations such as retail, or where there may be third party telecoms on site.

Roof-Pro can eliminate the need to decommission building services during roofing maintenance and even staged re-roofing programmes. This is possible via our non penetrative detachable supports, and design services that incorporate your particular services layout, so maintenance clearance is designed into your support system. By installing your services on Roof-Pro you can be sure that you are getting the lifecycle support you deserve.

For designers specifying Roof-Pro, the advantages are numerous. Roof-Pro eliminate the need to incorporate difficult detailing into the designs. No curbs or structural steel stubs have to be designed before designers even know where the services will be located. The roof can be designed without penetrations, eliminating the risk of leaks at roof junctions. Roof-Pro help designers fulfil their Part L obligations to eliminate thermal bridging as all Roof-Pro Systems are fully independent from the roof assembly, ensuring there is no heat loss associated with installing services on Roof-Pro Systems.

Roof-Pro offer a full design and engineering service to designers from the earliest stages to help them make the right decisions. Each support system is fully engineered to the roof design and loading capacity set by the project's structural engineer. Roof-Pro offer loading, stability and clearance assessments so designers know they are getting a support system eliminating the risks associated with supporting services on roofs.

When it comes down to construction, the Roof-Pro system makes for an efficient build process. The construction of the roof system – be it an inverted roof or single ply – can be constructed without interruption, and services installed on a pre-fabricated framework that is designed for the job.

• CAD – Co-ordinated drawings showing how our system will operate on your project.
• Co-ordination – With key members of the project team.
• Delivery – Working closely with our logistic partners we make sure you have your goods on site, on time. We have a particularly good lead-time for bespoke components.

Our Certification promise

For full delivery of system objectives, our Three Point Certification represents an undertaking that Roof-Pro installations meet the high quality standards expected by our clients. The certificate assesses stability and design, and also ensures that future requirements are incorporated.

Three Point Certification covers:

1 Stability – We make calculations of your services' stability, including wind loadings.

2 Load Management – We design our supports within the structural and waterproofing assembly limits set by the structural consultants.

3 Building Clearance – We make considerations in our designs for vertical and horizontal clearance for safety, aesthetic and future roofing maintenance purposes.

How we work with you

Our Roof-Pro support systems free up roofing contractors so they are presented with a clear, uninterrupted roof , without the need to build upstands and cold bridges to curbs. Roofing contractors are also assured that when they fit their waterproofing, installers will not damage the roof with penetrative fixings, invalidating the roof's warranty. Due to the nature of the buying process we tend to get involved at the early design stages through to the later stages, depending who is specifying the support system.

When it comes to installing roof-top units a client wants to be sure that the method in which the services are supported is not going to damage the waterproofing either by overloading the roof or by requiring penetrative fixing. Clients should also insist that any services installations must offer stability and future clearance assurance for lifecycle reasons.

We will recommend and design the most appropriate support system for a particular roof assembly. We work in an holistic way, understanding the roof assembly as a whole, and how various structural elements and our solutions integrate together within the construction. We not only provide the best solution, we can also identify potential issues and advise.

Roof-Pro work principally in the UK and in Ireland, but we have worked on projects in Iceland and Saudi Arabia. We will happily work and advise on projects of all sizes. For more information on Roof-Pro's Commercial Roof Systems, please contact us.
