GIROMAX INDUSTRIAL ROOFING REPAIRS IN TIPTON
Coverclad Services were contracted to carry out Giromax industrial roofing repairs in Tipton, to a unit suffering from multiple water ingress points. The works were carried out over a 2/3 day period and included replacing isolated damaged wall cladding sheets with press brake sheets to match existing.
Our main Giromax roofing repairs included the following:
- Prepare the gutters back to a sound substrate and in severely corroded sections, measure the profiles and fabricate / supply galvanised steel gutter sleeves to cover, then apply Giromax products to outlets, gutter joints, stop end joints, roof sheet ends, eaves details and cappings.
- Remove deteriorated old dektites and replace with new, then seal around with Giromax.
- Prepare and treat edge laps to the tops of roof lights and fixings with Giromax.

Progress view, scraping and mechanically removing rust from the perimeter gutter. The roof sheet ends stopped short of the gutter. In scenarios like these, water can make its way back up under the roof sheet extensions through capillary action, leading to water ingress.
Giromax used to seal a gutter stop end which had suspected joint leakage.
Galvanised support sleeves installed to heavily corroded gutter sections to aid with structural integrity.

Completed gutter repairs as per client requests, with gutter sleeves installed and Giromax applied to outlets, gutter joints, stop end joints, first two rows of fixings to the roof sheets, eaves detail between the roof sheet extension and the gutter support sleeve, and to the capping on the opposite side of the gutter.

New dektites installed. The flexible frames can be manoeuvred and fixed down to suit the roof sheet profiles, and they are then sealed with Giromax.
Before view showing isolated low level vehicle impact damage with puncture holes to the single skin wall cladding sheets.
Completed view showing the damaged wall cladding cut out and replaced with new. The profiles for the existing cladding sheets were not available, so we measured the profiles and fabricated three metre press braked single skin plastisol coated metal sheets to match. A perfect colour match cannot be guaranteed because of solar degradation to the surrounding coatings over time.
