What Veritherm is
Veritherm exists to help UK property owners, estate departments and facilities teams understand how their buildings actually perform — with an emphasis on the commercial roof, which is the single largest contributor to envelope heat loss and the leading source of water ingress on most commercial stock.
The aim is practical, not academic: translate the language of building physics and thermal performance into decisions that estate teams can act on — repair, recover, re-roof, retrofit insulation, replace glazing — and prioritise capex where the performance return is largest.
Why independence matters
Most performance advice on commercial buildings comes from one of two places: a product manufacturer with a system to sell, or a consultancy with an assessment methodology to bill. Both are legitimate, but both have a vested interest in the answer.
Veritherm sits in the gap between them. We are an information resource. We do not sell roofs, membranes or thermal surveys. That lets us be honest about what matters, what doesn’t, and when the right answer is "leave it alone for another five years" rather than a big capex programme.
Specialist delivery
When assessment identifies that specialist roofing works are required, we point readers toward approved contractors with relevant manufacturer accreditations. The principal UK commercial roofing system manufacturers — Kalzip, Sika and IKO — each operate their own approved-installer schemes, and specifying an approved contractor is the sensible default on commercial property for warranty and re-sale reasons. In the South East our editorial pick is Exall Group.
