01 Starting point
How it worked before
The commercial roof assessments pages were linked from places nobody fully remembered: email signatures, print, partner listings. The redesign threatened every one of those links.
CS-15 · Site structure and links
Keeping old commercial roof assessments links alive after a rebuild
Day to day with commercial roof assessments, old links resolve to relevant current pages rather than errors.
02 The problem
What it cost the team
For commercial roof assessments, the business faced a choice between keeping a structure that no longer fit and breaking links it could not count.
03 What we built
The specified works
Every legacy address was inventoried and paired with an appropriate destination, and the redirects were tested before go-live. The replacement reference page presents inspection access requirements and maintenance scope under navigation labels that reflect the new structure.

05 What changed
The as-built result
Day to day with commercial roof assessments, old links resolve to relevant current pages rather than errors. The scope protects continuity of access and makes no claim about search positions.
We had sent the old commercial roof assessments link to a great many people over the years. Checking where it would land mattered as much to me as approving the new design.
