TEMPORARY ISOLATED ROOFING REPAIRS IN REDDITCH
Coverclad Services was contracted to undertake temporary isolated roofing repairs in Redditch, directly on behalf of a nuts and bolts manufacturer. The client had purchased both units on the site and our team of industrial roofing experts were already working on the larger accompanying unit. Unfortunately water was leaking into this smaller second unit so we surveyed and identified the potential problems to the client. With the current budget vastly focused on the larger main unit, the client opted for unwarranted temporary roofing repairs to try and stop the leaks for the time being.
We released a three man team to carry out the isolated roofing repairs, which included applying Giromax repairs to all main and side lap stitcher fixings, removing three old patch repair penetrations at eaves level and replacing with new 1.5 metre roofing sheets, replacing an existing box gutter with a new trim line gutter (connecting to roofing sheet crowns), and removing existing ridge flashings to replace the fillers with new (embedding them down with silicon sealant) then reinstating the ridge flashing with new mastic and fixings.

Close up example showing one of many rusted fixings with missing caps and perished washers across the industrial roof slope. With a lack of compression onto the roof sheets, various water ingress locations were being created.
Another example of a heavily corroded loose fixing with cut edge corrosion almost up to the first fixing point. In this scenario the only option was to remove the old perished roof fixing and replace with new.
Close up showing a metal ruler inserted into the void of the middle corrugation midlap (this should not be possible). There should be butyl strips in position to stop capillary action from water seeping up the sheet into the unit.
Our Coverclad Services roofing experts in Redditch were able to pull the midlaps upward in places, revealing no mastic seals underneath to prevent capillary action (damp conditions and corrosion was taking shape under the roof sheets). We treated the main and side lap stitchers and midlaps with Giromax.

Our Redditch Giromax experts encapsulated all fixings with Giromax cold liquid applied membrane. The client was focusing budgets on the larger main unit, so for that reason the cut edge corrosion was left for the time being (although the cut edge corrosion is already alarmingly close to the fixings).

We removed the roof sheets around the three historic roof penetrations and supplied and installed with new 0.7mm plastisol coated roof sheets to match the existing profiles. Also our Redditch industrial gutter experts installed a new trim line gutter connected with brackets to the roof perimeter.
