Industrial Roof Cladding

Commercial Roof Cladding

Commercial roof cladding is a specialist, waterproof material used on roofs to form the outside/external surface. This provides a layer of protection for the important, structural elements below.

Cladding also provides a layer of insulation and secures the structure and integrity of the roof which prolongs its life making it a cost-effective option.Several different styles and materials can be used in commercial roof cladding, depending on your budget and the size and style of your building. These include concrete, asphalt, clay, and slate. Our expert team will help you to decide which option is best for your premises.

We have a reputation for providing a first-class service every time, delivering to the right specifications on time and at a competitive price.

Our Roof Cladding Process 

Refurbishing or replacing an ageing cladded roof, particularly over a live working environment, provides many challenges for both the client and the contractor.

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 critical.

Our design team can advise on the logistics of any industrial roof cladding project during the consultation stage, and offer guidance on cost and suitability of all roofing systems for commercial and industrial buildings.

When you work with us as your roofing contractor, you will benefit from our extensive experience of refurbishment contracts and can be confident that you are dealing with professionals who understand all the potential risks involved. We will work with you to keep your operations running during the roof cladding project and ensure that your industrial roofs are of a high quality and are suitable for your business.

How To Spot When Your Roof Needs New Cladding? 

Regular roof inspections will help you to identify when it requires repairs or new cladding. However, some telltale signs will help you spot the need sooner. 

Perhaps the most obvious one is if your roof is no longer providing shelter from the weather outside and you’re experiencing water ingress, it could be time to update your roof. This can often be from a lack of roof maintenance, poor workmanship when initially installed, or more often than not, it becomes worn or damaged due to storms or wear and tear as it gets older. 

If one or a few of these issues stand out to you, it’s likely time to invest in refurbishing or replacing your cladding system so that your building and business are protected from the elements.

Roof Cladding: Frequently Asked Questions

How Often Should I Inspect My Roof?

The more often your roof is inspected, the easier it is to pick up on issues before they turn into major problems. As a minimum, an annual inspection is recommended by an appropriate expert.

If your building is located in an area where there’s exposure to extreme weather conditions, more regular inspections will be needed. Having the roof checked over just before autumn starts, early winter, and spring will help to identify problems early and repair any damage caused by the elements.

A proactive approach to preventive maintenance will prolong the lifespan of your roof.

How Much Does Roof Cladding Cost To Install?

The cost of installing a new commercial cladding system will depend on several factors including the following;

• Size of roof area.
• U-values required.
• Does the roof contain asbestos.
• Is the roof fragile.
• Stripping of the roof or over-cladding.
