Coventry is a city built on making things, and it shows in the roofs. Post-war rebuilding left the centre with a huge amount of flat roof on shops, offices and public buildings. The car industry and its supply chain left factories and engineering works on estates like Whitley, Binley and Tile Hill. And the motorway corridor has filled up with big modern distribution sheds around Ansty, Keresley and Ryton. We work on all three. We’re based just down the M42 at Blythe Valley Park, so Coventry is well within our regular area.
Commercial and industrial roofing in Coventry
- Industrial roofing — strip-and-resheet, over-sheeting and refurbishment for factories, workshops and warehouses.
- Roof and wall cladding — composite and built-up cladding systems, repairs and over-cladding.
- Flat roofing — single-ply, felt and liquid waterproofing for commercial and public buildings.
- Cut-edge corrosion treatment — refurbish profiled metal roofs instead of replacing them.
- Asbestos roof removal — common on older Coventry industrial buildings; removed safely and replaced.
- Roof repairs — including 24/7 emergency call-out for commercial clients.
Post-war flat roofs
A lot of Coventry’s commercial flat roofs have been overlaid more than once. Each layer adds weight and hides what’s happening underneath, so leaks travel and show up nowhere near the actual defect. Before we quote for anything on these roofs we’ll survey properly — core samples where it’s needed — so you know what you’re dealing with. Sometimes another overlay is fine. Sometimes it really does need to come off back to the deck, and we’ll show you why.
Factories and distribution sheds
On industrial roofs the usual story is profiled steel or fibre-cement sheets, tired rooflights and big gutters doing a lot of work. Corrosion at the sheet laps and cut edges is often the first thing to go, and it’s one of the most cost-effective things to treat early. Where a roof is past saving, over-sheeting or a strip-and-resheet with a modern insulated system brings it up to standard. Either way, we’ll plan the work around your shifts and keep production moving.
Questions we get asked
Do you cover Coventry and the surrounding area?
Yes — the city itself, plus Bedworth, Nuneaton, Kenilworth and the industrial and logistics parks along the M6, M69 and A45.
Can you refurbish rather than replace our metal roof?
Often, yes. Cut-edge treatment, fixings replacement, gutter lining and rooflight replacement can add years to a profiled roof for a fraction of the cost of re-sheeting. We’ll tell you honestly if it’s past that point.
Do you provide method statements and RAMS before we appoint you?
Yes. Site-specific method statements and risk assessments are standard, and we’re SMAS accredited, so the health and safety paperwork is properly audited.
