INDUSTRIAL ROOFING STRIP AND RE-SHEET IN KINGS NORTON
Coverclad Services were contracted to carry out an industrial roofing strip and re-sheet in Kings Norton, to a vacant unit being readied for a new incoming tenant. The protective coating on the existing roof sheets had long disappeared and they were heavily rusted, so a strip and re-sheet was the best option.
The tasks for our industrial roofing experts in Kings Norton were to:
- Strip off the existing outer roof sheets to one of two slopes, and supply and fix new 0.7mm box profiled plastisol coated metal roof sheets with new fixings.
- Strip off the existing ridge flashing and replace with new, colour and finish to match the roof sheets (including new closure fillers and fixings).
- Strip out the old fibrous and degraded roof lights and replace with new GRP roof lights across both slopes.
- Install one weir outlet to an existing gutter.
- Install a press break profile patch plate over an existing redundant penetration to the rear elevation.

View across the two slopes before the industrial roofing in Kings Norton began. The right slope was in very poor condition and in need of a complete strip and re-sheet, whilst the left slope just required GRP roof light replacement. The ridge flashing was also in poor condition with lichen and moss growth and in need of replacement.
