Industrial Roof Repairs
Can you repair a leaking industrial roof without replacing the whole roof?
In many cases, yes. If the existing roof is structurally suitable, a targeted repair may be enough to resolve the problem. We inspect the roof to identify the source of the leak and assess the condition of the surrounding system before recommending the most appropriate solution.
What are the common signs that an industrial roof needs repair?
Common warning signs include water leaks, damp areas, damaged or corroded roof sheets, failed flashings, damaged seals, blocked drainage systems and water staining inside the building. Regular inspections can help identify these issues before they become more serious.
How quickly can you respond to an industrial roof leak?
Response times depend on the location, severity and nature of the issue. We can assess the situation and recommend appropriate repair work to help prevent further water ingress and damage to the building.
Roof Replacement & Over-Cladding
When should an industrial roof be replaced?
A roof may need replacement when it has extensive deterioration, repeated leaks, significant corrosion, failing components or has reached the end of its serviceable life. We assess the existing roof before recommending replacement and can also consider refurbishment or over-cladding where appropriate.
What is industrial roof over-cladding?
Over-cladding involves installing a new roofing system over an existing roof, where the existing structure and condition are suitable. It can provide improved weather protection and extend the useful life of the building without completely removing the existing roof system
Is over-cladding better than replacing an industrial roof?
It depends on the condition of the existing roof and the requirements of the building. Over-cladding can be a practical option where the existing structure is suitable, while full replacement may be more appropriate where the existing roof has extensive deterioration or other issues
Will industrial roof replacement disrupt business operations?
We plan our work carefully to minimise disruption to the building and its occupants. The level of disruption will depend on the size, condition and complexity of the roof, as well as the chosen system and project requirements.
Gutter Lining
What are Plygene and Sharman gutter lining systems?
Plygene and Sharman are specialist systems used for lining and refurbishing existing gutters. They can provide a practical solution for repairing leaking or deteriorating industrial gutters without necessarily requiring complete gutter replacement.
When does an industrial gutter need lining?
Gutter lining may be suitable where existing gutters are leaking, deteriorating or showing signs of failure but the underlying gutter structure remains suitable for refurbishment. We assess the condition of the gutter before recommending a lining system.
Can you repair industrial gutters without replacing them?
Yes, depending on their condition. Gutter lining can provide an alternative to complete replacement where the existing gutter is suitable for refurbishment. We inspect the system and recommend the most appropriate solution based on its condition.
Planned Preventative Maintenance
What is planned preventative roof maintenance (PPM)?
Planned preventative maintenance is a proactive approach to maintaining an industrial roof. Instead of waiting for leaks or major defects to appear, regular inspections and maintenance are used to identify potential problems early and address them before they become more costly issues
How often should an industrial roof be inspected?
The appropriate inspection frequency depends on the building, roof system, environment and existing condition. Regular inspections are generally recommended so that defects, drainage problems and other issues can be identified before they develop into larger problems.
Can planned roof maintenance help reduce repair costs?
Regular maintenance can help identify smaller defects before they develop into more serious problems. Addressing issues early can help reduce the risk of unexpected repairs, water damage and unnecessary disruption
Buildings & Projects
Do you work on warehouses and factories?
Yes. We work on a range of industrial and commercial buildings, including warehouses, factories, manufacturing facilities, industrial units, workshops, logistics buildings and other large commercial properties.
Can you work on both roofs and wall cladding?
Yes. Our services include both industrial roof cladding and wall cladding systems. We can work on new installations, refurbishment projects and repairs depending on the requirements of the building.
How do you assess an industrial roofing problem?
We begin by inspecting the affected area and assessing the condition of the roof or cladding system. We then identify the likely cause of the problem and consider the most suitable repair, refurbishment or replacement option based on the condition of the building.
Quotations & Contact
Do you provide quotations for industrial roofing and cladding work?
Yes. Once we understand the requirements of the project and assess the relevant areas of the building, we can provide a quotation based on the work required.
