OVER CLADDINGOver Cladding involves the existing roof substrate (usually asbestos cement) to have another single skin laid and fixed on top with insulation laid between the existing and new sheet.

This system offers a cost effective solution as the asbestos cement stays in-situ. This system suits clients who have a work area that cannot be disturbed due to production or similar problems.

NEW OUTER ROOF

INSULATIONEXISTING ASBESTOS

FLAT ROOFINGLightweight or traditional, hot or cold applied; our flat roofing experience and expertise covers a broad range of applications and manufacturer specific systems suitable for both refurbishment and new build constructions.

These include but not exclusive to, single ply roofing systems, cold applied waterproofing systems (including rapid cure and low temperature solutions), monolithic hot melt systems, multi and single layer bituminous roofing systems and car park deck waterproofing solutions.


RE-ROOFINGThis is as it says; we will remove your existing roof covering and replace it with one of many available systems that you may have chosen, if you haven’t we can recommend systems we think will suit your needs. We will always meet current regulations concerning thickness of insulation to ensure you are complying with Part L of Building Regulations.


SINGLE PLY MEMBRANE ROOFINGWe can liquid coat, replace or cover with single ply membranes to create a waterproof cover. If insulation is required we will advise what thickness this should be depending on the build up of your roof area that is in-situ, but our aim is to provide you with a roof covering and insulation that will meet and in some cases exceed the current requirements by Building Control Part ‘L’.


GUTTERINGWe offer gutter lining with HD Sharman’s, Gutterline which offers a 25 year guarantee and is BBA certified, we can also offer 10 year systems by coating the gutter using specialist products or we can offer replacement gutters with or without insulation.


CUT EDGE CORROSION TREATMENTCut edge treatment can be completed with little fuss on small areas. Larger projects require more planning due to curing times, but are still achievable within short time frames.

Once the rust has been rubbed away and the surface is back to clean metal, a primer product is applied to stabilise the surface. Once cured a top coat is applied. Once this is cured you will have a 10 year guaranteed system in place.


ASBESTOSWe offer all aspects of asbestos related works, such as:• Asbestos surveys to HSG264 standard (both management and refurbishment/pre demolition)• Full electronic and/or hard copy management plans for duty holders to use• Awareness training certification for delegates and clients key staff prior to contracts starting• Asbestos removal, both licensed and non licensed


COMMERCIAL SOLAR PVWe’ve strengthened our presence in the commercial solar industry as a trusted installer of quality solar PV systems. In collaboration with our partners, we can provide a solution that meets the exact requirements of your property to help reduce its energy consumption, maximise the return on investment (ROI) and increase the value of your commercial property.

Forward-thinking businesses are already reaping the rewards of harnessing energy from the sun and now is the perfect time to switch to solar power. A commercial solar PV system offers a fantastic addition to any business be it on a small or large scale and is a wise investment.

Key benefits of a commercial solar PV system:• Reduced electricity bills• Reduced CO2 output resulting in improved carbon accounting figures• Offers good PR of your green credentials as a company• Generation of additional income from any unused electricity

• Larger commercial solar PV installations can achieve a reasonable ROI if there’s a significant amount of electricity consumption during daylight hours• Stabilise your electricity supply and reduce air conditioning/cooling overheads during the warm summer months


COMMERCIAL SOLAR PV [CONTINUED]

When it comes to funding a new solar PV system, cleaner and greener business energy shouldn’t come at a high expense to the business. We therefore have a finance package to help fund your new and worthy investment.

ASSET FINANCE The asset finance funding gives you instant access to your energy solution and enables you to pay back through savings that are generated by switching to a smarter energy solution.

Typically, the asset finance option is taken over a period of between 3 to 7 years and fixed payments are made throughout the loan period until the initial outlay is paid off. All revenue generated from the commercial solar PV system becomes profit for the business once the asset finance term is completed and the total balance has been fully paid.

ROOF SUITABILITY When it comes to the actual installation of a PV system, we are able to install solar panels on both pitched and flat roofs. Our engineer will be able to offer professional advice on what would be the best solution depending on the roof type and site conditions.



DRONE ROOF INSPECTION SERVICE In addition to our standard industrial and commercial roofing and asbestos removal services, we are now able to offer a professional drone inspection service.

Using a drone to carry out an aerial inspection of your industrial or commercial roof is by far the safest and quickest way to identify any ongoing roofing issues that you may be experiencing.

GUTTER CLEARING & ROOF INSPECTIONSOur comprehensive clearing and cleaning services includes a thorough inspection and full clean of your industrial gutter system and flushing of your downpipes. As well as this, you will also receive a complete report and assessment of your roof.

How often should I clear my gutters and check my roof?

The above question relates to every person who is responsible for looking after the maintenance and longevity of a building. The Metal Gutter Manufacturer Association (MGMA) recommends that newly installed industrial gutter and rainwater systems should be inspected at least four times in the first year to formulate an ongoing maintenance plan.

You may also have an existing gutter and rainwater system that requires attention, this should be undertaken at least twice a year, more if it’s close to heavy foliage like trees.

The roof should be inspected for damage and anything else that could reduce the lifetime of the roof like rusting (if it is metal) or deterioration of joints which may cause leaks. By being proactive you could reduce the cost of remedial works as you can catch any issues early and maintenance costs can also include known works rather than reactive budgets for unknown.


GUTTER CLEARING & ROOF INSPECTIONS [CONTINUED]

What can happen if you don’t maintain your gutter of roof?

• Water could find its way into the building if its guttering and rainwater system is blocked

• Guttering could break away from its supports due to the excessive weight of foliage and/or water

• If the gutter is steel and untreated, the water being held within the foliage could cause the gutter to corrode quicker due to moisture being constantly present

• The roof should be regularly checked as it helps identify issues early to allow a quick response and smaller budget requirements

• If the building is leased, as tenants the responsibility is yours to maintain the roof by undertaking annual inspections which could reduce liability at the point of dilapidation

• If you own the building, maintaining the roof is the most sensible and cost-effective way to elongate its lifespan to help avoid expensive re-roofing works (depending when you begin undertaking surveys)

What else do I need to do?If you have a metal roof that was installed with a guarantee period attached, this will require you to annually inspect the roof for defects and the findings will need to be recorded and monitored. If you have a cement roof it would be wise to record any defects annually (as part of your asbestos register). If you have an old metal roof with no guarantee period to worry about, it would also be wise to create and establish an ongoing maintenance plan rather than being reactive to any future issues.

We have the solution!We can provide suitably qualified operatives to attend site and they will undertake gutter clearance and cleaning as well as the inspection of your roof. Once this has been completed a comprehensive report is compiled and presented for your records and any subsequent maintenance works offered by ourselves will be on a no-obligation basis.
