Roof Overcladding Port Dundas
When an industrial facility in Port Dundas began experiencing persistent roofing issues, Industrial Roofing Scotland was appointed to deliver a dependable, long-term solution. The project focused on installing a roof overcladding system to extend the life of the existing
roof while avoiding the disruption and risk associated with a full roof strip.This roof overcladding Port Dundas project was carefully planned and executed to improve weather resistance, eliminate water ingress, and enhance thermal performance — all while allowing the building to remain fully operational throughout the works.
The Challenges
The existing roof had reached the end of its effective service life, resulting in ongoing deterioration and vulnerability to water penetration. A traditional roof replacement would have required full removal of the existing system, creating unacceptable downtime and exposing the building interior to the elements. The key challenge was to deliver a long-lasting roofing solution that would restore performance, protect the structure, and minimise disruption to daily operations.
Our Solution
A roof overcladding system was specified and installed over the existing roof structure, providing a secure and highly effective solution without disturbing the original substrate. This approach immediately halted further deterioration and fully eliminated water ingress. By working over the existing roof, we maintained continuous weathertight conditions throughout the installation, ensuring the building remained protected and operational at all times. This method also allowed the project to be completed efficiently and safely, with minimal impact on site activity.
