Commercial Roof Replacement

Commercial Roof Replacement Across the UK

When a commercial or industrial roof is beyond economic repair, replacing it is often the most cost-effective long-term option. At Total Cladding and Roofing, we replace failing roofs on warehouses, factories, industrial units, offices and public buildings throughout the UK, removing the old covering and installing a modern, insulated roofing system designed around your building.

A new roof is also the right moment to deal with the problems an old one hides: poor insulation, condensation, tired rooflights and undersized gutters. We plan every replacement so your building stays weathertight and, wherever possible, keeps working while we are on the roof.

Signs Your Commercial Roof Needs Replacing

• Leaks in several places – repeated patch repairs that no longer keep the water out.
• Widespread corrosion – metal sheets corroded through, beyond what cut edge treatment or coatings can save.
• Failed fixings and laps – loose, rusted or missing fixings and open side laps across large areas.
• Brittle asbestos cement sheets – cracked, porous or fragile sheets that are unsafe to work on and to repair.
• Poor thermal performance – little or no insulation, high heating bills and condensation dripping inside.
• Failed flat roof membranes – blistering, splitting and ponding water on felt or ageing single ply.
• A change of use or new tenancy – a building that needs a sound, insulated roof before it can be let or reused.

Repair, Restore or Replace?

Replacement is not always the answer, and we will tell you if it isn’t. Every project starts with a roof survey and inspection, so we can recommend the option that gives the best value for your building:

• Repair – where the roof is generally sound and the problems are local. See our roof repair services.
• Restore – coatings, sheet replacement and other roof refurbishment to extend the life of a roof worth keeping.
• Overclad – a new insulated roof installed over the existing one. See industrial roof over sheeting.
• Replace – a full strip-out and new roof when the existing covering has reached the end of its life.

Our Commercial Roof Replacement Services

Metal Roof Replacement

We replace profiled metal and built-up roofs with insulated composite panels or built-up systems, using products from manufacturers we work with, including Kingspan, Euroclad and Tata Steel.

Asbestos Cement Roof Replacement

Our trained operatives carry out non-licensed asbestos cement roof sheet removal in line with current regulations, before installing a modern replacement roof. Find out more about our asbestos roofing services.

Flat Roof Replacement

Failed felt and membrane roofs replaced with liquid-applied or PVC single ply systems, including new insulation and cut-to-fall designs. See flat roof replacement.

Rooflights, Gutters and Details

We replace rooflights, gutters and rainwater goods, flashings and ridges as part of the same project, so the whole roof performs as one system.

Insulation Upgrades

Replacing a roof is the time to bring its insulation up to current Building Regulations standards, cutting heat loss and reducing condensation inside the building.

How We Replace a Commercial Roof

1. Survey and specification – we inspect the roof, structure and details, then specify the replacement system.
2. Planning and safety – access, edge protection, safety netting and scaffolding are planned around your site and its operations.
3. Phased strip-out – the old roof is removed in sections so the building stays weathertight at the end of each day.
4. Installation – the new roof, insulation, rooflights, gutters and flashings are installed and detailed.
5. Inspection and handover – a final quality inspection before the completed roof is handed back to you.

Keeping Your Business Running

Most of the buildings we re-roof stay open throughout the work. We agree working areas, deliveries and protection with your team, sequence the strip-out to suit your operations and keep the roof weathertight as we go. See how we delivered a complete re-roof at The Island on the Dorcan Industrial Estate ahead of a new tenancy.
