Systems commonly used
Tap a system to read more about how it performs on retail premises.
System
Composite Cladding
Composite cladding panels combine an outer and inner metal skin with an insulating core, giving excellent thermal performance in a single lightweight system. Widely used on new build and refurbishment projects, composite panels offer a clean, modern finish alongside strong weather resistance and low maintenance requirements.

Standing Seam
Standing seam roofing uses raised, interlocking seams between panels rather than exposed fixings, giving a clean appearance and excellent weathertightness. It is a popular choice where visual quality matters alongside performance, and suits both low and steep pitch applications.

Secret Fix
Secret fix systems conceal all fixings beneath the roofing or cladding material, giving a smooth, uninterrupted finish with no visible screws or bolts. This reduces potential leak points at fixing locations and gives buildings a more contemporary appearance.

Single Skin Metal
Single skin metal roofing and cladding uses a single profiled metal sheet, typically specified where insulation is provided separately or is not required. It is a cost-effective, durable option well suited to trade units, warehouses and other structures where budget and simplicity are priorities.

Gutter Linings
Proprietary gutter linings resolve persistent leaks in internal and external gutters permanently, unlike painted or felt patch repairs. Installed on new build, refurbishment and maintenance projects alike, linings are backed by manufacturer guarantees.

FAQs
Retail roofing questions
If your question is not answered here, call the estimating team on 01305 770433.
Can roofing work be carried out without closing the shop?
In most cases, yes. We plan retail projects around your trading hours, phasing work or scheduling out-of-hours where needed to keep the unit open to customers.
Do retail units built before the 1990s often contain asbestos cement roofing?
Yes, particularly older retail parks and trade counters. We carry out non-licensed, non-notifiable removal of asbestos cement roofing and cladding as part of many retail refurbishment projects.
Does the roofing system affect how the shopfront looks?
It can. Systems such as standing seam or secret fix give a cleaner, more contemporary finish, which we can factor in alongside performance requirements during the survey.
Can you repair a leak without disrupting customers?
Yes. Many retail roofing issues can be resolved with targeted repairs such as gutter linings or localised sheet replacement, scheduled to avoid busy trading periods.
Do you work on new build retail developments?
Yes. We work with developers and principal contractors on new build retail projects, delivering complete roofing and cladding envelope systems from design through to installation.
