Commercial Roofing Birmingham
If you run a shop, office or small business unit in Birmingham, your roof probably isn't something you think about until it starts leaking onto stock, staff or customers. Then it's all you think about. Commercial roofing throws up different problems to a house roof: you've got trading hours to protect, staff and customers to keep safe, and usually a flat or low-pitch roof that needs the right approach to last. Midlands Roofing has been fixing, replacing and maintaining commercial roofs across Birmingham for 18 years, working around businesses rather than through them, so you can keep trading while the work gets done.

What our commercial roofing service includes
We cover the full range of commercial roofing work for shops, offices, retail units and small industrial premises:
- New roof installations on flat and low-pitch commercial roofs, using felt, single-ply membrane (a tough, flexible waterproof sheet) or GRP fibreglass, depending on what suits your building and budget
- Repairs, from leaks and storm damage to failed flashings and blocked outlets, sorted quickly to limit disruption
- Full roof replacements when a roof is past economical repair
- Planned maintenance contracts, so small issues get caught before they become expensive ones
- Roof inspections and condition reports, useful ahead of a lease renewal, insurance review or when you're simply not sure what state your roof is in
We work with landlords, tenants, facilities managers and business owners, so whoever is responsible for the roof, we can deal directly with you.
Signs you need commercial roofing work
Some of these are obvious. Others get ignored until they turn into a bigger job:
- Damp patches, staining or drips on ceilings inside the building
- Standing water on the roof more than 48 hours after rain
- Bubbling, cracking or lifting on the roof covering
- Blocked or overflowing gutters and outlets
- A roof that's over 15 to 20 years old and hasn't been checked recently
- Higher heating bills, which can point to failing insulation under the roof
- Visible damage after storms or high winds
If any of that sounds familiar, it's worth getting it looked at before it affects your business, your stock or your staff.
Our process
You get in touch.
Call us or request a free quote and tell us what's going on.
We inspect the roof.
We'll arrange a time that suits your business, not the other way round. We look at the whole roof, not just the obvious problem, so you get the full picture.
We give you an honest quote.
No pressure, no jargon, just a clear breakdown of what needs doing and why. If the fix is smaller than you expected, we'll tell you that too.
We plan around your trading hours.
For most commercial jobs we can work early mornings, evenings or weekends, or section off areas of the roof to keep you trading while we work.
We do the job.
Our team of 15 roofers do the work ourselves, no subcontractors, so the people quoting the job are the people on your roof.
We tidy up and sign off.
We leave the site clean and talk you through what's been done, backed by our workmanship warranty (up to 20 years, depending on the material and scope of work).
Why choose Midlands Roofing for commercial roofing in Birmingham
Birmingham has a huge mix of retail parades, office buildings and small industrial units, and most of them can't afford to shut their doors while a roof gets sorted. We plan every commercial job around keeping your business running, whether that means working outside your opening hours or phasing the work so only part of the roof is affected at a time.
We're a family-run business and have been for 18 years, which means our name and our reputation are on every job we do locally. That's why we're straightforward with commercial clients: no upselling, no scare tactics, just a clear assessment of what your roof needs. We're fully insured and experienced, working to current industry and safety standards, and every quote is free with no obligation to go ahead.
We also know that a lot of businesses have had a bad experience with roofing contractors before, whether that's no-shows, vague quotes or work that didn't last. We turn up when we say we will, we do the job properly, and we treat every business the way we'd want to be treated if it were our shop or office.
What affects the cost
Every commercial roof is different, so we won't quote a price without seeing it. A few things that typically affect cost:
- Roof size and access.
- A large flat roof takes longer than a small one, and access (scaffolding, ladders, or roof hatch) affects labour time.
- Material choice.
- Felt, single-ply membrane and GRP fibreglass all have different price points and lifespans, and we'll talk you through which fits your building and budget.
- Condition of the existing roof.
- Repairs are usually cheaper than replacement, but if the roof structure or insulation underneath has been affected, that changes the scope.
- Timing and access requirements.
- Working around trading hours, evenings or weekends can affect scheduling and cost.
- Ongoing maintenance.
- A planned maintenance contract can work out more cost-effective long term than reactive repairs.
The only way to get an accurate figure is a proper look at your roof, which is why every quote is free and comes with no obligation.
