Industrial Over Sheeting Specialists Across the UK

If your industrial roof is leaking or deteriorating but a full roof replacement is not practical due to operational disruption or budget constraints, industrial roof overcladding is often the ideal solution.

At Total Cladding and Roofing, we specialise in industrial roof over sheeting and overcladding systems, providing cost-effective roof refurbishment solutions for warehouses, factories and commercial buildings across the UK.

Overcladding allows a new insulated roofing system to be installed over the existing roof structure, significantly improving weather protection, insulation performance and the lifespan of the roof without removing the original roof covering.

What Is Industrial Roof Overcladding?

Industrial overcladding involves installing a new roofing system over the existing roof structure.

This method avoids costly roof removal while upgrading the building with modern insulation and weatherproofing systems.

Overcladding is commonly used for:

• Warehouses

• Industrial factories

• Distribution centres

• Manufacturing facilities

• Agricultural buildings

• Commercial premises

It is one of the most effective ways to refurbish ageing industrial roofs while keeping buildings operational throughout the project.

Euroclad Refresh Overcladding System

For many projects we use the Euroclad Refresh specification, a proven overcladding system designed specifically for industrial roof refurbishment.

This system allows a new insulated roofing system to be installed over the existing roof while maintaining structural integrity and improving thermal performance.

A copy of the Euroclad Refresh specification is available to download further down this page.

The system can typically be installed on existing roofs with a minimum pitch of 4 degrees.

Overcladding Asbestos Roofs

Many older industrial buildings still contain asbestos cement roofing sheets.

Removing asbestos roofing can be extremely expensive due to strict regulations and the need for specialist asbestos removal procedures.

We provide asbestos roof overcladding systems that allow a new roofing system to be installed over the existing asbestos sheets without drilling into the asbestos material.

This specialised installation method:

• Avoids disturbing the asbestos sheets

• Eliminates the need for expensive asbestos removal

• Keeps the building operational

• Provides a modern insulated roofing system

Although this process is more time-intensive, the overall cost is typically significantly lower than full asbestos removal and replacement.

How Our Industrial Overcladding System Works

The basic design of an industrial overcladding system includes several key components to ensure long-term performance.

Safety Systems Installation

Before work begins, full safety systems are installed to ensure all work is carried out safely and in accordance with industry regulations.

Vapour Control Layer

A vapour control layer is installed to prevent water vapour from penetrating the existing roofing system and saturating the insulation.

Top Hat System

Top hat sections are fixed directly to the existing roof purlins to create a secure structural framework for the new roof system.

Quattro Bar Installation

A Quattro bar system is installed on top of the top hats, providing support for the new roofing sheets.

Eaves Filler Installation

Eaves fillers are air sealed using foam fillers to prevent air leakage and maintain insulation performance.

Insulation Installation

Insulation is rolled out across the roof to improve the building’s thermal performance.

Top Sheet Installation

The new metal roof sheets are installed and securely fixed to the support system.

Ridge and Barge Board Installation

The system is completed with new ridges and barge boards, fully sealing the roof and providing a clean finished appearance.

Benefits of Industrial Roof Over Sheeting

Industrial roof overcladding offers several advantages compared to traditional roof replacement.

Key benefits include:

• No need for roof removal

• Minimal disruption to operations

• Improved insulation performance

• Reduced energy costs

• Enhanced weather protection

• Modern roofing appearance

• Extended roof lifespan

For many industrial buildings, overcladding provides a cost-effective refurbishment solution that can extend roof life by decades.
