INDUSTRIAL ROOFING WORKS IN WOLVERHAMPTON
Coverclad Services were contracted to carry out industrial roofing in Wolverhampton, to a retail park terrace unit on behalf of the main contractor. The roofing works formed part of dilapidation works in preparation for an incoming tenant.
The first part of our job was to remove the existing double skin GRP rooflights and replace them with new internal metal lining sheets and new box profile 4top sheets to match existing (with insulation to the voids). The second part of our job was to supply and install a built-up overclad system to the 1000m2 existing roof area, complete with weather flashings, ridges and step-down flashings to the adjoining units.
We dedicated two teams of our industrial roofing installers in Birmingham to the project, in order to achieve the shortened three week turnaround as specified by the client. Photos are below.

Internal safety netting was also installed during the rooflight works.
Overclad materials including rolls of insulation and roof sheet stacks delivered to the roof. The existing roof sheets were suffering from plastisol delamination at the cut edges as well as fixings deteriorating and perishing. The rooflights were fibrous and degraded letting water in.
