Commercial Roofing Contractors in London
DL Jones Roofing Services has delivered commercial and public sector roofing across London since 1987. From our office in South Croydon, our directly employed teams work throughout the capital, from the inner boroughs to outer south and southeast London, delivering flat roofing, emergency repairs, planned maintenance, surveys and gutter work for organisations that manage large buildings or several sites.
We work every day with local authorities, housing associations, schools, NHS and healthcare estates and property management companies across London. As approved Bauder and Polyroof installers, the roofs we install qualify for manufacturer backed warranties of up to 25 years, not just a contractor’s guarantee.
Our Roofing Services in London
We provide the full range of commercial roofing services in every London borough, each delivered by our own teams with full RAMS and CDM compliance. The services London clients ask us for most come first:
- Flat Roofing Services: Bauder bitumen, single ply and Polyroof liquid systems for the flat roofs on London’s council blocks, schools, offices and hospitals.
- Roof Repairs & Maintenance: 24/7 emergency repairs anywhere inside the M25, plus planned maintenance contracts for landlords with buildings across several boroughs.
- Roof Surveys & Reports: condition surveys, dilapidation surveys and asset management reports with photographs and costed priorities, ready for capital budgets.
- Gutter Lining Systems: seamless linings for the box and valley gutters on London’s Victorian and interwar buildings, restoring them without full replacement.
- Sustainable & Green Roofing: sedum and biodiverse roofs that help London schemes meet the London Plan’s Urban Greening Factor and BREEAM targets.
- Solar PV Roofing Solutions: ballasted and integrated solar on flat roofs, installed without compromising the waterproofing.
- Drone Roof Surveys: CAA certified aerial inspection of tall blocks and hard to reach roofs, with no scaffolding needed to find the problem.
- Pitched Roofing: slate and tile replacement, leadwork and chimney work across London’s terraced housing and period school buildings.
- Commercial Exterior Cleaning: roof, gutter, cladding and façade cleaning for commercial and public buildings.
- Scaffolding Services: scaffolding and MEWP access through our sister company, DLJ Access Solutions.
Sectors We Serve Across London
London’s buildings are varied, and every sector has its own compliance and access demands. We have specific experience across:
- Local Authorities: council housing, civic buildings and works procured through frameworks. Our guide to the local authority tender process explains how councils appoint contractors.
- Housing Associations: planned programmes and responsive repairs on occupied homes, with support for leaseholder consultation under Section 20.
- Schools & Educational Buildings: Enhanced DBS checked teams and works timed for school holidays.
- Hospitals & Healthcare Estates: work planned around HTM guidance in sensitive, occupied clinical environments. Read more about our NHS and healthcare roofing.
- Property Management & Block Management: contracts across several sites with agreed rapid response times.
- Commercial Properties & Industrial Sites: offices, retail, warehouses and distribution centres.
Roofing Across London’s Boroughs
Our teams work across South, Central, East and West London, most often in Croydon, Bromley, Sutton, Merton, Lambeth, Southwark, Lewisham, Greenwich, Wandsworth and Kingston upon Thames. Being based in South Croydon gives us genuine reach into the south London boroughs, where much of the capital’s council and housing association stock sits, and our directly employed teams can mobilise anywhere inside the M25.
London roofs come with London rules. Occupied council blocks need resident liaison and leaseholder consultation, schools need work timed around term dates, and new developments are expected to meet the London Plan’s Urban Greening Factor, where a green roof is often the most space efficient answer. Access is the other constant: on tight streets and tall blocks we use MEWPs or drone surveys where scaffolding would cost more and disrupt more.
A recent example: for Leaders Property Management we replaced the pitched roofs on two occupied residential blocks on a housing estate in Mitcham, in the London Borough of Merton, and carried out repairs across the estate using MEWPs instead of scaffolding. It is typical of the multi building programmes we deliver for housing associations and property managers across London. See more on our projects page.
