Agricultural
Agricultural buildings face some of the harshest roofing conditions of any building type, from constant weather exposure to decades of asbestos cement stock still in service.
Agricultural roofing and cladding needs to withstand exposed rural sites with minimal ongoing maintenance, often protecting livestock, machinery or stored produce beneath. Our projects include agricultural barns converted into an award-winning home and a new build warehouse and office at Henstridge, Somerset.

Barn and rural site projects
Barns and rural buildings are rarely simple, and old ones move out of true over the years.
At Stoney Ridge Farm in Somerset, several agricultural barns with a barrel roof, dual-pitch slopes and intersecting, irregular rooflines were converted into a family home with around 400 m² of garages and outbuildings. Walls up to 100mm out of square meant the team marked every fixing point by hand on site. The twin skin roof reaches a U-value of 0.16 W/m²K, with Ash & Lacy corrugated outer sheets, low-profile fixings and colours coordinated across the house, garages and outbuildings. The project won the RIDBA Award for Residential & Offices.
At Henstridge Airfield in Somerset, we clad a new build warehouse and office building in Tata Trisomet 333 composite panels: 1,850 m² of roof and 1,000 m² of elevations, with every 14m roof panel lifted into place by a 100 tonne crane and a vacuum lifter. The office elevations are finished in Tata Trimapanel, with Filon roof lights and stainless steel fixings.

FAQs
Agricultural roofing questions
If your question is not answered here, call the estimating team on 01305 770433.
Do most older farm buildings contain asbestos cement roofing?
Many do, particularly buildings constructed before the 1990s. We carry out non-licensed, non-notifiable removal of asbestos cement roofing and cladding as part of many agricultural refurbishment projects.
What roofing system copes best with exposed rural sites?
This depends on the building's location, use and budget. Fibre cement and single skin metal systems are common choices for agricultural buildings, and we'll recommend the right option following a site survey.
Can you work around seasonal farm activity?
Yes. We plan agricultural projects around seasonal demands and site access, scheduling work to minimise disruption to farming operations.
Do you handle roofing for livestock buildings as well as storage barns?
Yes. We work across the full range of agricultural buildings, including livestock housing, storage barns and machinery sheds, adapting the system to suit the building's specific use.
Can a low pitch farm roof be repaired rather than fully replaced?
In many cases, yes. Localised repairs such as gutter linings or sheet replacement can resolve issues without a full re-roof, depending on the roof's overall condition.
