What we found

Our client required a comprehensive refurbishment of their industrial roof to address weathering, corrosion and potential water ingress. With over 10,000m² of roofing to restore on 3 buildings, the objective was to extend the life of the roof, prevent future leaks and improve the building’s long-term performance.

We also had to manufacture and install a new gutter section into the one of the buildings as well as remove and replace around 200m² of new roof sheeting.

What we did

Our experienced waterproofing team carried out a complete roof restoration, combining waterproofing, corrosion treatment and protective roof coating systems to restore the roof to a durable, weather-resistant condition.

Scope of Work

  • Thorough inspection and preparation of approximately 10,000m² of industrial roof sheeting.
  • Sealed all roof sheet overlaps and exposed bolt heads using a high-quality waterproofing compound to prevent water penetration and reinforce vulnerable areas.
  • Applied a professional de-rusting treatment across the entire roof surface to neutralise existing corrosion and inhibit future rust development.
  • Prepared all treated surfaces to ensure optimal adhesion of the protective coating.
  • Applied a premium aluminium roof coating, creating a durable weatherproof finish while improving UV resistance and reducing heat absorption.
  • Conducted a final quality inspection to ensure the roof was fully protected and completed to our high workmanship standards.

Key Benefits

✅ Comprehensive Waterproofing – Sealed critical leak points, including overlaps and fasteners.

✅ Corrosion Protection – Rust treatment helps prevent further deterioration and extends the life of the roof.

✅ Heat Reflective Finish – Aluminium coating reflects solar heat, helping to reduce internal building temperatures.

✅ Extended Roof Lifespan – Protects the roof against harsh weather, UV exposure and ongoing corrosion.

✅ Cost-Effective Alternative to Roof Replacement – Restores existing roofing while avoiding the significant expense of installing a new roof.

Project Completion & Recommendations

The project was completed successfully, transforming more than 10,000m² of industrial roofing into a fully protected, weather-resistant asset. By sealing vulnerable areas, treating corrosion and applying a high-performance aluminium coating, the client now benefits from improved waterproofing, enhanced durability and increased energy efficiency.

To maximise the lifespan of the roof, we recommend scheduled inspections and preventative maintenance to identify and address any areas requiring attention before they develop into costly repairs.
