Industrial Roof Cladding Refurbishment | Metal Roof Overclad Case Study – Central Belt, Scotland

An ageing industrial roof doesn’t always require a complete replacement. In many cases, a professionally designed roof overclad system can extend the life of the building while improving energy efficiency, weather protection and appearance.

Industrial Roofing Scotland recently completed this industrial roof cladding refurbishment for a long-standing transportation company in the Central Belt of Scotland. Having previously carried out refurbishment works for the client, we were invited back to provide a long-term solution for a building whose roof had reached the end of its expected service life.

Industrial Roofing Scotland recently completed this industrial roof cladding refurbishment for a long-standing transportation company in the Central Belt of Scotland. Having previously carried out refurbishment works for the client, we were invited back to provide a long-term solution for a building whose roof had reached the end of its expected service life.
Following a detailed survey, several options were considered, including ongoing repairs, complete roof replacement and a metal roof overcladding system. After reviewing the costs, programme and long-term benefits, the client chose to encapsulate the existing roof with a new insulated metal roof cladding system.
The refurbishment included:
• Installation of a new insulated metal roof overclad system.
• Replacement of the existing rooflights before the new roof installation.
• Additional insulation to improve thermal performance and reduce heat loss.
• New internal gutter lining systems to improve drainage and provide long-term weather protection.
• Replacement of the existing metal wall cladding to modernise the appearance of the building.

Every element of the project was installed in accordance with the manufacturers’ installation specifications and recommendations. Throughout the installation, our team carried out quality control inspections before undertaking a final inspection on completion, ensuring the finished project met both the manufacturers’ requirements and our own high standards.
The completed industrial roof refurbishment has transformed both the appearance and performance of the building. The client now benefits from improved energy efficiency, enhanced weather protection and manufacturer-backed warranties, providing long-term confidence in their investment for many years to come.
