Find the Real Cause of Your Industrial Roof Leak First
A wet patch inside rarely sits under the real fault. Water tracks along sheets and purlins before it drips. So we find the source first, then fix it.
We check sheet laps, flashings, rooflights, and gutters, not just the obvious spot. Our free drone survey shows the roof close-up without walking fragile sheets.
On many Loughborough units, the leak is a split or blocked gutter, not the roof at all. Heavy rain off the Charnwood hills fills tired gutters fast. Guess wrong and the drip comes straight back.
What our industrial roof condition survey checks
A proper roof survey and condition report covers the whole system, so you get a real diagnosis β not a guess:
- Metal sheet laps, fixings and cut edges for corrosion
- Flashings, upstands and abutment detailing
- Rooflights for cracks, fragility and failed seals
- Box and valley gutters for splits, ponding and blockages
- Insulation and deck for trapped damp or storm damage
Repair, Coat, or Replace β Match the Fix to the Roof
Not every worn roof needs stripping off. The right call depends on the deck below.
If the structure is sound, a roof coating, targeted repair, or cut edge treatment can add years. If sheets are cracked and fixings are loose, a full warehouse or factory roof replacement is the better spend. We survey first, then tell you straight which one fits.
Many older sheds around Shepshed suit a coat or an over-clad over a full strip-out. We weigh cost, disruption, and how long you plan to keep the building. We'll also explain why a good contractor won't quote a flat price per square metre β access, asbestos, insulation upgrades and staying operational all move the number. You get an honest answer, not the biggest invoice.
Re-Roof Your Loughborough Unit Without Shutting Down
Most re-roofs happen while you keep trading. We phase the work bay by bay and sheet each section as we go. Higher-risk work runs at night or over a weekend.
Access shapes the plan as much as the roof. A low eaves with clear ground is simple work. A tall unit on a tight Loughborough site near the M1 needs proper access design and edge protection.
We fit temporary internal sheeting to catch debris and keep your floor working. Fall protection and safe zones go in the price from the start, not bolted on later. Every job runs to RAMS and CDM 2015 duties, with the right permits and trained operatives on site.
How we re-roof without closing your site
- Book a free drone survey; check access and asbestos risk.
- Send a written, itemised plan and programme.
- Set safe zones and protect the floor below.
- Work bay by bay, or run weekends.
- Strip and re-sheet in controlled sections.
- Final check, sign-off, and clear the site.
Install and Repair Every Industrial Roof System
We work on every common industrial roof type. That covers profiled metal sheets, composite panels, built-up systems, single-ply membranes, and liquid coatings.
New builds and unit extensions across Loughborough get the right system for the use, not the cheapest sheet. We also swap fragile or cracked rooflights for non-fragile units that meet current standards.
Mixed stock on estates like Willowbrook and Bishop Meadow needs a system matched to each roof. We match sheet, insulation, and finish to how the building works.
Systems we install and repair
- Profiled metal & plastisol-coated steel sheeting
- Insulated composite panels (warm-roof build-ups)
- Single-ply membranes β TPO, PVC and EPDM
- GRP fibreglass and liquid-applied waterproofing
- Built-up felt and standing seam roofing
Cladding, rooflights & gutters
- Industrial roof cladding and wall cladding repair
- Over-cladding / over-sheeting to skip a full strip-out
- Non-fragile GRP rooflight replacement for safe access and daylight
- Gutter lining, refurbishment and full replacement
Treat Cut Edge Corrosion and Manage Asbestos Safely
Cut edge corrosion treatment
Cut edge corrosion is the rust that creeps along the edges of steel sheets. Left alone, it spreads and eats into the roof. We clean, treat, and coat the exposed laps to add years of life. That saves a full re-roof on many sound Loughborough units. Roofs exposed near Mountsorrel weather faster in wind-driven rain. Treated early, it's a fraction of the cost and disruption of re-sheeting.
Asbestos roofs: over-clad, encapsulate or remove
Plenty of industrial roofs built before 2000 carry asbestos cement sheets. If yours does, you have a legal duty to manage it under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. We survey first, then advise: encapsulate, over-clad, or licensed removal.
Over-cladding leaves sound sheets in place and skips the upheaval of a strip-out. It also lets you add insulation to hit Part L warm-roof standards while you're up there. We never drill or cut asbestos without the right controls, and can arrange independent air monitoring for peace of mind. Larger jobs also carry CDM 2015 duties, which we build into the plan.
Keep Your Roof Compliant and Watertight Year-Round
Planned checks catch small faults before they flood your floor. We run maintenance visits that clear gutters, spot corrosion, and log roof condition across your Loughborough site.
Two more issues catch owners out. First, condensation: a cold metal roof can drip inside and look just like a leak. The fix is better insulation and ventilation, not another patch. Second, energy rules. Coming MEES rules will raise the minimum EPC band for let commercial units. A well-insulated new roof or over-clad can lift your rating and keep the unit lettable. We flag both at survey stage, so nothing surprises you later.
Planned maintenance for landlords & facilities managers
- Scheduled gutter clearing and roof inspections
- Early cut edge corrosion and lap checks
- Photo condition reports for your records and insurers
- Priority reactive callout when something fails

Industrial Roofing FAQs β Loughborough
How much does an industrial or warehouse roof replacement cost in Loughborough?
Every industrial roof is priced on its own, which is why a serious contractor won't give a flat per-square-metre figure. Cost is driven by roof size, eaves height and access, whether asbestos is present, the insulation spec needed, and whether you stay operational during the work. Book a free survey and we'll send a clear, itemised quote.
Do you cover emergency industrial roof leaks in Loughborough?
Yes, we prioritise making your site watertight fast, then plan the permanent repair. After storm damage we aim to get a team out quickly, make safe, and then agree the lasting fix.
How long should a metal or steel industrial roof last before it needs replacing?
A well-installed profiled-steel or composite roof can last decades with upkeep, but exposure, drainage and cut edge corrosion all shorten that. A coating or targeted repair can add years to a roof that's structurally sound. Our survey tells you honestly whether you're looking at a repair or a replacement.
Is it cheaper to coat and refurbish my roof than to replace it?
Usually, yes β if the structure underneath is sound. Coatings, over-cladding and cut edge treatment cost far less than a full strip-and-re-sheet and cause less downtime. Where sheets are cracked or fixings have failed, replacement is the smarter long-term spend, and we'll say so.
Can you survey my roof without closing the site?
Yes, our free drone survey checks the roof from above while you keep working. There is no scaffold and no ladder on day one.
Will my business stay open during a re-roof?
Yes, in most cases we phase the work and run higher-risk sections out of hours. Temporary internal sheeting keeps your floor usable.
What exactly is cut edge corrosion, and can you fix it without a full re-roof?
Cut edge corrosion is rust that forms where the protective coating on steel sheets has worn away at the laps and edges. Caught early, we clean, treat and re-coat those areas rather than replacing sheets β a far cheaper, quicker fix. Left too long, it spreads and forces a re-sheet.
Is the water inside a leak or condensation?
Often it is condensation, and we diagnose that before you pay for another patch. We check insulation and ventilation, not just the sheets.
Should I remove my asbestos roof or over-clad it?
Over-cladding is often the safer, less disruptive choice when the sheets are sound. We survey first and advise removal only where it's needed.
Can a new roof help me meet the coming EPC rules?
Yes, added roof insulation can lift your EPC band toward the incoming MEES minimum. We flag the gain during your survey.
