ISOLATED CLADDING AND INDUSTRIAL ROOFING REPAIRS IN TAMWORTH
Coverclad Services was contracted to undertake isolated cladding and industrial roofing repairs in Tamworth on behalf of the main contractor. The works were issued at short notice and with a very specific deadline in place, due to the end client opening on Boxing Day. We dispatched a three man team of our industrial roofing and cladding experts to Tamworth to complete the works out of hours and over the weekend, in an effort to minimise obstruction and to help the other trades also working on site.
There were three main aspects to the job. The first was to prepare and then paint the eight front elevation pillars in order to provide a fresh new look to the entrance. The second was to repair numerous isolated dents and old redundant fixings and penetration holes to the rear elevation cladding panels, plus replace a damaged corner flashing at canopy level to match existing profiles. The third was to carry out an industrial gutter clean-up at roof level and to replace the existing rooflight fixings (wrongly installed by a previous contractor) with poppy red fixings and larger washers.

Our industrial rooflight experts in Tamworth have replaced all of the rooflight fixings with poppy red fixings and new larger washers to bring them up to standards. Poppy red fixings are used to highlight the location of rooflights (over time dirt, debris, grime and degradation can discolour rooflights to the point of being undetectable alongside roof sheets).

Previously fitted signs, cabling and fixings had also been removed, leaving old penetration holes exposed, requiring attention. We applied two pack filler to the holes and dents, rubbed down and prepared, then sprayed with cladding paint.
Impact damage to the rear elevation corner flashing at canopy level.
Rear elevation corner flashing replaced to match existing profile. Also see the newly applied darker cladding paint underneath (up to two metres high from ground level). Trying to achieve the exact same previous silver colour is nigh impossible due to solar degradation. Applying a darker contrast colour looks much better.
