How Can Roofclad Systems Help?
Since establishing in 1978, we have been specialists in roofing and cladding refurbishment works. We provide building envelope solutions and environmentally sound building systems for industrial and commercial use. We can take care of your project from start to finish, including the design and installation of your roof and cladding, flat to pitch roof conversions, strip and re-clad of old buildings, waterproof coatings, wall cladding systems, guttering and rooflights.
Over the years, we have obtained a number of roofing and cladding contracts to schools up and down the country. Here’s how we can help you:
Roof Cladding Refurbishment
When considering roofing refurbishment, the focus should always be on the planning and management of the project. The safety of those carrying out the work, those operating below roof level and minimising disruption to the client’s operations are absolutely critical. When you work with a roofing contractor, with our extensive experience of refurbishment contracts, you can be confident that you are trusting professionals who understand all of the potential risks involved and will work with you to keep your operations running during the project. Here at Roofclad, our design team can advise on the logistics of any project during the consultation stage and offer guidance on cost and scope.
There are four different types of roof cladding refurbishment that we can advise and perform on your roof:
- Standing Seam Roofing Systems
- Roof Overcladding / Single Skin
- Traditional Built Up Roof Cladding
- Composite Roof Cladding
External Wall Cladding Refurbishment
Similar to roof cladding refurbishment, there are a number of different external wall cladding refurbishment options to suit your needs, depending on building structure, support and condition.
There are three main types of external wall cladding refurbishment options that we can advise and perform on your building:
- Wall Overcladding / Single Skin
- Traditional Built Up Wall Cladding
- Composite Wall Cladding
Flat Roofing
A commercial flat roof can last anywhere between 10 and 35 years. However, this will all depend on how well it is maintained. There are several systems available for commercial and industrial flat roofing, including:
Gutter Maintenance
Roofclad Systems are highly experienced when it comes to commercial and industrial gutter refurbishment in the UK. With over 47 years experience on several different industrial and commercial properties.
There are two types of industrial and commercial guttering we recommend:
Industrial and commercial gutters should be inspected at least once a year and any time after a heavy storm or downpour of rain. Gutters should also only be checked by a qualified person to do so – they will know what they are looking for in terms of current issues, and they can also spot any potential problems. Checking gutters regularly to make sure they are free from any debris is so important to maintain a fully functioning guttering system. It is not uncommon for gutters to get blocked with leaves and other debris, especially in the autumn and winter months. Dealing with a problem before it causes damage to your guttering system is so important.
If you think your gutter is currently blocked or damaged, we will be able to refurbish it and provide your business with a fully functioning guttering system. Our team will happily refurbish old work and make it good as new.
