INDUSTRIAL ROOFING REPAIRS IN BANBURY
Coverclad Services were instructed to carry out industrial roofing repairs in Banbury to a commercial unit. The gutters were severely rusted and corroded, the plastisol coating on the roof sheets was in very poor condition and the external rooflights were fibrous and in need of replacing.
Our main tasks included the following:
- Wash down the industrial roof and wall cladding to the entire perimeter, using jet wash and manual brush works where needed.
- Remove the external skin rooflights and replace with new to match existing.
- Prepare and treat the perimeter gutter lengths and hip valley gutters with Giromax HPG. Due to the poor state of the perimeter gutters, a decision was made to change the specification from Giromax to a Plygene Gutter Liner in those areas, and to install gutter support sleeves where needed.
- Prepare and treat the existing flat plate overclad system (cut edges and entire plates) with Giromax.
- Prepare and treat areas of spotted roof sheet delamination as well as cut edge corrosion to the eaves, mid-laps and rooflight tops with Giromax.
- Install foam fillers to the hips and ridges where needed and replace all roof fixings (main fixings and stitchers), plus works to several flu penetrations (hot flus, service ducts, soil stacks, dektights, soaker flashings).

Our first task on the roof was to jet wash away all the loose debris, peeling plastisol and general grime that had formed over the years.

Close-up showing the debris and loose plastisol that had fallen into the gutters over time. Rust had also formed to the upstands because some of the outlets were partially blocked. With it being such a large catchment area, at times of heavy rainfall the gutter was filling up like a bath.
Galvanised steel gutter support sleeves inserted into the most heavily corroded sections of gutter to strengthen them. Cut edge corrosion to the eaves and hip valley gutter sheet edges prepared and treated with Giromax.

Before view of the existing flat plate overclad system area. Instead of removing and replacing with roof sheets, we were instructed to remove all peeling plastisol from the flat plate sheets (taking back to bare metal where needed) and to then prepare and treat with Giromax.
