Warehouse
Warehouse roofs and cladding systems work harder than almost any other building type, covering large uninterrupted spans while protecting valuable stock below.
Warehouse buildings present specific roofing challenges: large roof areas prone to wear, ageing asbestos cement on older stock, and the need for minimal disruption to ongoing logistics operations. On the warehouse and industrial units in our projects, the fix has usually been overcladding a failing metal roof or stripping out asbestos cement as non-licensed, non-notifiable work, with the Stevenage tenant’s business in full operation throughout.
- Large-Span ExpertiseRoofing and cladding systems built for the scale and loading demands of warehouse structures.
- Minimal DisruptionWorks planned around ongoing logistics and storage operations.
- Overclad or ReplaceOvercladding where the existing roof and frame allow it, strip and replace where they don't.

Warehouse and industrial unit projects
Our warehouse and industrial unit projects show the problems these buildings tend to develop, and how we have fixed them.
At Cadbury Business Park in Sparkford, two early 1990s units had twin skin metal roofs failing from plastisol breakdown, corrosion and water ingress after years of patch repairs. We overclad Cadbury Building A, around 1,200 m², and Cadbury Building B, around 1,150 m², with 200mm glass fibre insulation to current building regulations, draining the new roofs into the existing gutters after lining them with Plygene.
In Stevenage, a nearly new building’s composite roof had leaked from day one. Working directly for the architect as principal contractor, we overclad around 2,120 m² with a Euroclad Refresh system while the tenant’s business stayed in full operation. Materials went up with our own 30m rotating telehandler, inside Heras fencing and a site compound.
At Valley Road, Cinderford, a failing 1970s asbestos cement roof and tired cladding were removed and disposed of as non-licensed, non-notifiable work. The unit was re-roofed and re-clad with insulated systems, with a 180mm spacer bar system bringing uneven elevations into one consistent line, and the adjoining plant room was refurbished as well.

FAQs
Warehouse roofing questions
If your question is not answered here, call the estimating team on 01305 770433.
Can warehouse roofing work be carried out while the building stays in operation?
Yes. We plan warehouse projects around ongoing operations wherever possible, phasing work or scheduling around quieter periods to minimise disruption to storage and logistics activity.
Do older warehouses often contain asbestos cement roofing?
Yes, particularly warehouses built before the 1990s. We carry out non-licensed, non-notifiable removal of asbestos cement roofing and cladding as part of many warehouse refurbishment projects.
What roofing system is best for a large warehouse roof?
This depends on the building's age, structure and budget. Composite cladding and double skin metal systems are common choices for warehouses, and we'll recommend the right option following a site survey.
Can you repair a leak in a specific area without re-roofing the whole warehouse?
Yes. Many warehouse issues can be resolved with targeted repairs such as gutter linings or localised sheet replacement, rather than a full re-roof.
Do you work on new build warehouse developments?
Yes. We work with developers and principal contractors on new build warehouse projects, delivering complete roofing and cladding envelope systems from design through to installation.
