Commercial Roofing Contractors in Croydon
DL Jones Roofing Services is a commercial and public-sector roofing contractor covering the whole London Borough of Croydon from our office at 319 Limpsfield Road, South Croydon, CR2 9DJ. Family-run since 1987, we are approved Bauder and Polyroof installers, accredited by CHAS, Constructionline Gold, SafeContractor and NFRC, and we offer free roof surveys and a 24/7 emergency line on 020 8657 0734.
Croydon is our home borough. Our office is on Limpsfield Road in South Croydon, a short drive from anywhere in the borough, which is why councils, schools, housing providers and commercial landlords here use us for everything from a single leaking roof to planned programmes across a whole estate.
Croydon’s buildings ask a lot of a roofing contractor. The 1960s and 1970s office boom left the town centre with large flat roofs that are now reaching the end of their life. The Purley Way corridor is lined with warehouses, trade counters and retail units. Council housing, schools and civic buildings are spread across every ward. We have worked on all of these building types since 1987, with our own directly employed teams and full RAMS and CDM compliance on every job. As approved Bauder and Polyroof installers, the flat roofs we install qualify for manufacturer-backed warranties of up to 25 years, not just a contractor’s guarantee.

Roofing in Croydon: What We See Most
Ageing flat roofs on commercial and civic buildings. Many of Croydon’s larger flat roofs date from the same era and are failing at the same time. The key decision is whether an overlay will do or a full strip is needed. Replacing a roof usually also triggers an insulation upgrade under the Building Regulations, so we price a warm roof specification from the start rather than as an extra. The 7 signs your commercial flat roof needs urgent attention are a good first check.
Green roofs on new schemes. As a London borough, Croydon applies the London Plan, and major developments are expected to meet an Urban Greening Factor target. Green roofs are one of the most space-efficient ways to score. We install and maintain sedum and biodiverse systems, and our comparison of green roofs and solar PV covers when to choose which, or both.
Dilapidations at lease end. On commercial units the roof is often one of the largest items in a schedule of dilapidations. A survey 12 to 18 months before the lease ends gives landlords and tenants time to agree the scope. Our dilapidations roof survey guide explains the process.
Recent Roofing Work Near Croydon
Roof replacement and estate maintenance, Mitcham (CR4)
For Leaders Property Management we replaced the pitched roofs on two occupied residential blocks using the Redland BMI system, then carried out repairs to flashings, gutters and brickwork across the estate. We used MEWPs instead of scaffolding to keep walkways clear for residents. Mitcham sits just over the borough boundary, and this is typical of the multi-block work we deliver for managing agents and housing providers in Croydon.
