Roofing for Warehousing & Distribution
Large-area roof and cladding work on warehouses and distribution centres, phased around live operations to protect stock and uptime.
Distribution sites cannot stop. Every hour the building is out of action has a cost measured in missed despatches, and a roof leak over racked stock can write off goods in minutes. We plan roof and cladding work on warehouses and distribution centres around that reality.
Roofing challenges on large distribution roofs
Large-area roofs fail in large-area ways. Cut edge corrosion creeps along sheet laps, blocked or split gutters back up over insulation, and worn coatings let water in across wide spans. On a high-bay site a small, ignored defect can quickly become a leak over racked stock. We survey the whole roof, not just the leak you can see, so the price you get fixes the cause rather than the symptom.
How we work around your operation
The work is sequenced around your operation: access agreed with your transport team, work zones kept clear of loading and yard traffic, and the roof kept weathertight over racked stock at every stage. We phase large-area work so the building stays operational and protect the goods below throughout. It is the approach we took at Costco’s Watford distribution operation, where 7,200m² of roofing was completed in five days with zero downtime.
The right mix of work for your roof
Because no two roofs fail the same way, we recommend the most cost-effective combination of services rather than a one-size-fits-all fix:
Cut edge corrosion treatment
Stops corrosion spreading along exposed sheet laps and end laps before it eats into the roof. See cut edge corrosion treatment.
Roof coatings
Restores a weathertight, long-life finish across wide spans without a strip-out. See industrial roof coatings.
Roof overcladding
Installs a new insulated roof over the existing one with no internal exposure, ideal for occupied distribution sheds. See roof overcladding.
Gutter refurbishment
Clears, lines and repairs valley and eaves gutters so water stops backing up over insulation. See gutter refurbishment.
Asbestos roof replacement
Where an ageing asbestos-cement roof needs to go, we remove and replace it safely and compliantly. See asbestos roof replacement.
You get a fixed price up front and a programme designed to protect both the building and your despatch schedule. Whether the issue is a leaking roof over high-bay racking, failing gutters soaking insulation, or an ageing asbestos roof that needs to go, we deliver the work without shutting you down.
