INTRODUCTION TO ROOF MANAGEMENT.

THE IMPORTANCE OF A WELL-MAINTAINED ROOF

As a facilities manager responsible for overseeing the operations and maintenance of large company facilities, you hold a pivotal role in safeguarding one of the most critical assets—your building's roof.

Consider for a moment the integral role your roof plays in protecting your company's assets. It shields your employees, equipment and valuable inventory from rain, wind, snow, and sunlight, as well as ensuring a comfortable and productive indoor environment.

A well-maintained roof also contributes to the overall energy efficiency of your facility, which in turn affects your bottom line. Proper insulation and reflective roofing materials can reduce the need for excessive heating or cooling, leading to lower energy consumption and operational costs. In an era where sustainability is a key concern, and
energy prices are often increasing, an energy-efficient roof aligns with both environmental goals and costeffectiveness.

The condition of your facility's roof can impact your company's reputation. Clients, partners, and employees form impressions based on the physical appearance of your premises. A leaky roof or visible signs of neglect may convey a lack of attention to detail and compromise the professional image your company strives to uphold.

Proactive roof management not only prevents costly repairs but also enhances the overall performance and lifespan of the roofing system. And the cost of neglecting roof maintenance can be steep. Leaks, structural damage and compromised insulation not only jeopardises the structural integrity of the building but can also strain budgets and
disrupt business operations.

Whilst you have many responsibilities as a facilities manager, looking after your company’s commercial roofing is an important task, to help keep both the people and the property safe.

We’ve put together this e-book to help you understand how you can best maintain your existing roof and how to move forward should any issues occur.
