Industrial & Commercial Roofing

Melbourne

Roof maintenance, repairs and replacements for factories, warehouses and commercial buildings. Box gutters, sumps, downpipes and roof sheeting that keep water out of your operation.

Roof Plumbing for Factories, Warehouses and Commercial Buildings

Large industrial roofs move a lot of water. When a box gutter overflows or a sump blocks, water ends up on stock, machinery, electrical equipment and production floors. Leaks that start small get worse every winter.

SWR Plumbing provides roof maintenance, repairs and replacements for industrial and commercial buildings across Melbourne. We inspect, clean and repair roof drainage, replace damaged sheeting and upgrade systems that cannot cope with heavy rain.

Roofing Services

  • Roof inspections: condition reports with photos and prioritised recommendations.
  • Box gutters and sumps: cleaning, repairs, relining and replacement, plus overflow upgrades.
  • Downpipes and rainwater heads: repairs, resizing and new installations.
  • Roof sheet repairs and replacement: corroded or damaged sheets replaced, fixings and flashings renewed.
  • Skylights and penetrations: resealing flashings around vents, plant and skylights.
  • Scheduled roof maintenance: gutter and sump cleaning before the wet months.
  • Stormwater connections: repairs to stormwater lines below the roof drainage. See drain cleaning and CCTV.

Safe Work on Large Roofs

Industrial roofs are high risk work areas. We carry out height access works with the right controls in place, including edge protection, anchor points, elevated work platforms and fragile roof management around skylights and old sheeting.

Before starting we confirm access routes, exclusion zones below the work and any plant or processes that need to be isolated. On operating sites we plan roof works around production and deliveries.

Many leaks come from box gutters and sumps that are undersized or poorly maintained. We look at the cause, such as blocked outlets, insufficient overflows or failed joints, rather than just patching the symptom.

Industrial Roofing FAQs

How often should a factory roof be inspected?

At least once a year, ideally before winter, and after major storms. Sites with trees, dust or recycling activity may need gutters and sumps cleaned more often.

Why does our box gutter overflow in heavy rain?

Common causes are blocked outlets, undersized sumps or downpipes and missing or inadequate overflows. We inspect the system and recommend the right fix.

Do you replace whole roofs?

We carry out sheet replacements and sections of roof, and can quote larger replacements depending on scope.

Can you work on the roof while we keep operating?

In most cases yes. We set up exclusion zones and plan work around production and deliveries.

How much do roof repairs cost?

It depends on the problem, access and materials. After an inspection we provide a fixed quote with photos of the issues found.
