Manufacturing
Manufacturing facilities depend on a roof that performs under constant operational pressure, protecting sensitive equipment and continuous processes below.
Manufacturing facility roofing and cladding needs to support strict environmental control, insulation and safety requirements while withstanding heavy day-to-day use. Our factory and workshop projects range from re-roofing a joinery firm’s building with the business running below to non-licensed, non-notifiable removal of asbestos cement roofs over concrete frames that were never square.
- Process-CriticalSystems built to protect sensitive equipment and continuous manufacturing processes.
- Compliance-LedInsulation and fire safety standards suited to industrial manufacturing environments.
- Out-of-Square FramesNew timber frameworks and wide flashings where older structures are not true.

Factory and manufacturing projects
Factories and workshops rarely stop for a new roof, and older ones are seldom square.
At SB Joinery in Yeovil, a returning client, the joinery business carried on below while we refurbished around 900 m² of failing composite roof, upgraded the insulation to current Building Regulations and replaced the plastic gutters with steel trimline gutters.
At TR Autos, Yeovil, an asbestos cement roof on a steel portal frame was stripped as non-licensed, non-notifiable work and replaced with 120mm Tata Trisomet composite panels. The new insulated gutters were larger than the old ones, so the old gutters came out and the new ones went in within a single day, and the parapet walls and cappings were insulated too.
Brakes Motor Company in Ilminster needed around 1,900 m² of single and twin skin asbestos cement roofs removed as non-licensed, non-notifiable work and replaced over concrete portal frames that were neither square nor straight, so we built a new timber framework to fix the Kingspan panels to.
On Tapstone Road, Chard, an existing factory building was refurbished with 1,800 m² of roofing and 600 m² of new wall cladding, fitted against walls up to 200mm out of square, with custom wide flashings. A second phase added a new retail building in a matching material palette.

FAQs
Manufacturing roofing questions
If your question is not answered here, call the estimating team on 01305 770433.
Can roofing work be carried out without stopping manufacturing processes?
In most cases, yes. We plan manufacturing projects around your production schedule, phasing work or scheduling around planned downtime to minimise disruption.
Do manufacturing facilities need specific insulation or fire compliance?
Yes. We use fire-compliant materials as standard and ensure all installations meet current building regulations relevant to industrial manufacturing environments.
Do older manufacturing buildings often contain asbestos cement roofing?
Yes, particularly facilities built before the 1990s. We carry out non-licensed, non-notifiable removal of asbestos cement roofing and cladding as part of many manufacturing refurbishment projects.
What roofing system suits a facility with sensitive equipment below?
This depends on the specific process and environmental requirements. We'll recommend the right system, including insulation and fixing methods, following a site survey.
Can a localised leak be repaired without disrupting the whole facility?
Yes. Many manufacturing roofing issues can be resolved with targeted repairs such as gutter linings or localised sheet replacement, rather than a full re-roof.
