Spring is all about new beginnings, fresh starts, and… commercial roof coatings? Yep, you read that right!
If you own or manage a commercial property, spring is hands down the best season to protect your roof with a professional coating. At Universal Eco Homes, we’ve spent years applying high-quality commercial roof coatings that extend the lifespan of buildings, enhance energy efficiency, and prevent costly repairs down the line. And spring has always been our favourite time of year to carry out the work.
But why? Well, all you need to do is carry on reading and you’ll find out!
1. The Weather is (Finally) on Your Side
It may be stating the obvious, but winter can be brutal on commercial roofs. Snow, ice, and freezing temperatures take their toll, leaving roofs vulnerable to damage. Summer, on the other hand, brings extreme heat (if we’re lucky), that can make roof coatings difficult to apply properly. Spring, however, offers that perfect balance of mild temperatures and lower humidity—ideal conditions for commercial roof coatings to adhere properly and cure effectively.
You could almost say spring is like Goldilocks‘ favourite porridge. Not too hot, not too cold. It’s just right, especially for commercial roof coatings. But enough of tenuous children’s story analogies, back to the blog.
Applying a roof coating in spring ensures that it has plenty of time to set before summer’s heatwave kicks in. Whether your commercial building has a flat roof, pitched roof, metal roof, or even an asphalt-covered roof, this season provides the optimal weather window for the job.
2. Prevent Expensive Repairs Before Summer
If your commercial property has endured the harsh winter without regular maintenance, there’s a good chance minor issues—like cracks, leaks, or UV damage—are starting to appear. Addressing these problems now with a professional roof coating can prevent them from escalating into costly repairs later.
Unlike some roof cleaning companies that offer coatings as an afterthought, Universal Eco Homes specialises in commercial roof coatings, ensuring a thorough inspection and application process. Our coatings provide a protective, weather-resistant barrier that shields your roof from rain, UV exposure, and general wear and tear.
3. Increase Energy Efficiency Before the Heat Kicks In
As energy costs continue to rise, businesses are looking for ways to improve efficiency. One of the most effective ways to cut cooling expenses is by applying commercial roof coatings that reflect heat away from the building. This is particularly beneficial for metal and flat-roofed buildings, which tend to absorb and retain heat more than other roof types.
At Universal Eco Homes, we use ProPERLA coatings—high-performance, energy-efficient solutions that help regulate your building’s temperature. We’re also proud to be the only ProPERLA Platinum Approved Applicators within 140 miles of Colchester, so when you choose us, you’re getting industry-leading expertise and top-tier results.
4. Less Disruption to Your Business
For many businesses, summer is peak season, meaning minimal downtime is essential. Scheduling commercial roof coatings in spring allows you to get the job done before your busiest period. The mild weather also means faster drying times, ensuring the coating is applied smoothly and efficiently without causing unnecessary delays.
Whether you manage a warehouse, office block, retail space, or industrial building, spring is the perfect time to schedule commercial roof cleaning in Essex, (or any of the other counties we cover), followed by a high-quality protective coating. This combination helps prolong the life of your roof while keeping your business looking professional and well-maintained.
