When trying to find a roofing contractor whether it be a commercial roofer, industrial roofer or a residential roofer the list is endless. So where do I start? Looking for an industrial roofing company in London the choice is huge and the final decision can be very costly if you get it wrong.rnrnWhether you are looking for a new roof or some roofing repairs both can be very costly especially if you find the wrong roofing company. One of the first things to check is whether they have been approved by an industry regulator. rnrnrnrnThere are many industry regulators when it comes to roofers and roofing some self-appointed and others government based. Industrial, commercial and residential roofing companies will fall into the building categories in which case look for a seal of approval from Masterbond warranty, this is a federation of master builders. Only registered building companies and roofing companies can provide Masterbond warranties and obtaining one demonstrates that the roofing contractor is competent.rnrnAnother industry regulator that carries a lot of weight in the roofing and building industry is Safecontractor. rnrnSafecontractor runs a health and safety assessment scheme, teaching companies safe working practices and also regulating health and safety issues.rnrnFind out how long the company has been trading, if they are only just starting out then it may be best to look for a more established and larger company.rnrnIt is also important to find a roofing company that specializes in the kind of work you need to be undertaken. There are several different kinds of roof\'s and roofing materials so make sure the company you choose has worked with the kind of roof you need. Some of the more common roofs are Slate roofs, felt roofs, fiberglass roofs, sheet roofs and concrete tile roofs.rnrnrnrnA company that specializes in many different roofing materials is important as this shows that they have plenty of experience. Most roofing companies especially industrial roofing companies will offer a warranty on the work they carryout, find out how long the warranty will last and what it covers.rnrnIndustrial roofing companies also offer maintenance work on guttering and cladding. Some big industrial units will use cladding to enhance the look and feel of their buildings. If you need maintenance, repairs or new cladding then make sure the company you deal with has experience with cladding. A lot of industrial roofing companies will not have experience with cladding as this is quite a specialist area so again be careful and ask for proof of previous cladding work taken out.rnrnAlways gets at least three quotes and try if possible to get a recommendation from your industrial roofer before you give them the job. rnrnAny good reputeable roofing contractor or industrial roofer or commercial roofer will have a website which should display previous works undertaken by themselves. So if you are looking for company that provides new roofs and make sure you see some evidence that they have provided new roofs before. The same can be said if you are looking for smaller works to be undertaken such as pointing. Pointing are basic roof repairs.rnrnYour old roofing system may have asbestos which could be and in most cases is deadly. Ask the roofing contractor if they have ever dealt with asbestos before and how they plan to dispose with the asbestos. When working with asbestos the roofing contractor must supply the workers with all the necessary protective clothing and masks. rnrnTake five minutes to read up on asbestos removal so you can be sure that the company know what they are doing.rnrnAll industrial roofing companies and commercial roofing companies will offer a free no obligation quotes if they do not then don\\\'t contact them. As mentioned earlier get at least three quotes and compare them. Some roofing contractors may charge more money than others, try to get a breakdown of the work that is going to be carried out, then assess how much the roofing materials will cost. The quote should be roughly the same from all roofing companies or roofing contractors when it comes to the roofing materials and should only differ with labour costs.rnrnAnother must is finding out whether the roofing company or roofing contractor has liability insurance. Make sure you obtain a copy or are shown a copy. Never take a company on if they do not have any recognized seal of approval or liability insurance.
