Professional Commercial Roof Paint Stripping & Repainting Made Easy
Maintaining the integrity of a commercial roof is critical—not just for appearance, but for protecting your building and avoiding costly future repairs. At Paint Removal Services Co, we specialize in professional paint stripping and high-performance roof recoating, ensuring your roof is restored properly—not simply covered over.
Why Strip Old Roof Coatings?
Many commercial roofs have been coated multiple times over the years. When these coatings begin to fail, simply applying another layer can cause more harm than good.
Common issues include:
Peeling and flaking coatings
Blistering and trapped moisture
Ongoing leaks and corrosion
Premature coating failure
By removing failed coatings, we create a clean, stable surface that allows new systems to bond correctly and perform long-term.
Our Process
We follow a structured, proven approach to deliver consistent, high-quality results:
1. Detailed Roof Survey
We assess coating type (including thermoplastics), substrate condition, and access requirements.
2. Specialist Paint Removal
Using controlled methods such as chemical softening and low-pressure cleaning, coatings are safely removed without damaging the roof structure.
3. Surface Preparation
All residues are neutralised and surfaces are prepared to ensure maximum adhesion.
4. Repairs & Treatment
We address corrosion, cracks, and weak points before recoating.
5. Professional Recoating System
We apply durable, waterproof coatings suited to the roof type—delivering long-term protection and performance.
Suitable for Commercial & Industrial Roofs
We work across a wide range of roof types, including:
Metal sheet roofing
Industrial cladding systems
Flat and concrete roofs
Asbestos cement roofs (handled safely and compliantly)
Previously coated or heavily painted roofs
Cost Comparison: Replacement vs Restoration
One of the biggest advantages of paint stripping and recoating is the significant cost saving compared to full roof replacement.
COMPARE Full Roof Replacement
Replacing a commercial roof is a major investment:
£90–£120 per m² for flat roofs
£100–£150 per m² for pitched or complex systems
A typical 1,000m² roof can cost:
>>> £50,000 – £150,000+
Strip & Recoat Systems (e.g. Rooflock)
Restoration using a professional waterproof coating system is far more cost-effective:
£40–£80 per m² for most systems
Up to £90 per m² for specialist coatings
For the same 1,000m² roof:
👉 £25,000 – £45,000
What This Means for Your Business
Save 30%–60% compared to full replacement
Extend roof life by 10–20+ years
Avoid major disruption to operations
Faster turnaround times
No need for full strip-out and disposal
When Is Coating the Right Option?
A strip and recoat system is ideal when:

Problems are limited to coating failure or weathering
You want a cost-effective long-term solution
Where structural issues exist, we will always advise accordingly following a survey.
