STORM DAMAGE REPAIRS TO INDUSTRIAL ROOFING IN RUGBY
Coverclad Services were tasked to undertake storm damage repairs to industrial roofing in Rugby, as part of insurance repairs to a warehouse unit on behalf of the landlord. The gable ends to the rear elevation of the unit had broken away and were literally hanging from six metres up in the air.
Our job description was to take down the damaged wall cladding sheets along the 60 metre long elevation, then install additional fixing points and structural bracings, then fit new wall cladding sheets to the gable ends with associated barge flashings to finish.
Health and safety was a key concern during the works due to the unstable and dangerously heavy materials hanging from the industrial roof, plus access to the alleyway in question was overgrown and required clearing before access machines could be moved into place and work could commence.

View up at the severely damaged and hanging gable ends before work commenced. Upon inspection not enough fixing points and braces were used when the previous contractor installed them.

With the gable end broken away the underlying roof structures were exposed. If left rain water would have potentially started leaking into the building.
