Act Now, To Save Later!
Here is an example of a typical industrial unit showing signs of ageing and deterioration to its roof area. With blocked gutters, corrosion, failing rooflights and peeling paintwork the roof required refurbishment to prevent further decline.
This large industrial unit in Bristol was the second refurbishment for document control company Synertec. An earlier refurbishment at their Warrington base, showed similar deterioration due to age. They were so pleased with the results, they decided to carry out similar work at their Bristol unit.
A Roof Finish Guaranteed For 30 Years
The unit required a full refurbishment and respray of the metal roof cladding and a 30 year roof coating system was applied to the 2600m2 roof.
The initial inspection on this project confirmed that the roof cladding was showing signs of deterioration and required cut edge corrosion treatment and re-coating. The roof lights and gutters were also in need of refurbishment.
For the roof coating Advantage Graphene was installed. Advantage Graphene was developed specifically to target corrosion and rust on metal roofs. As Graphene, which is stronger than steel, forms an almost completely impenetrable barrier, it is almost impossible for water and debris of even the smallest fragment to bypass the graphene. The result is a lightweight, UV resistant coating for ultimate building protection.
Rooflights And Gutters To Complete The Roof
The rooflights were in need of replacing on this roof. Whilst refurbishment and repair are preferential, replacing the rooflights was vital for safety, cleanliness, and clarity so on this project all the rooflights were replaced.
The guttering at the unit was blocked by debris, which was preventing the water from draining effectively from the roof and risking a back log of water damage and accompanying roof cladding problems.
There was also evidence of corrosion that if left could worsen over time. To solve this, the guttering was re-lined using the WeatherFOLD system which comes with a 25-year guarantee. Once debris had been cleared and the WeatherFOLD system had been installed the water could once again flow smoothly and away from the roof.
The combined long term guarantees and excellent workmanship has provided a refurbished roof that not only looks new, will last for decades.
