Seamless Protection Without Full Replacement
Cut-end corrosion is one of the leading causes of premature failure in industrial cladded roofs. If your roof is showing signs of deterioration or corrosion, coating could be the solution. This fast, environmentally beneficial, cost-effective system restores waterproofing and extends your roof’s lifespan, without the disruption or cost of a full replacement.
We provide professional coating services for commercial properties across the UK. Whether it’s your own commercial property, a block of flats, a school or an industrial unit, our fully trained and highly skilled team can help you protect what matters most with minimal mess and maximum results.
Overall, coating industrial metal-clad roofs is a cost-effective, sustainable and high-performance solution that provides long-term protection, improved safety, reduced maintenance and enhanced building efficiency.
Not every roof needs removing. In fact, many still have a sound structure beneath the surface wear. Coating allows us to refurbish these roofs quickly and effectively, sealing over cracks, corrosion and damage with a seamless waterproof layer that’s built to last.
If you’re looking for something that will last and protect, a high-quality spray or roller applied coating provides exceptional durability, resistant to UV exposure, chemicals and extreme temperature fluctuations (all big causes of roof deterioration and damage).
When roof sheets are cut, the protective coating and galvanised layer are breached, exposing bare steel to moisture, chemicals, and airborne contaminants. Left untreated, this corrosion spreads leading to leaks, structural damage, and costly downtime. This problem is especially challenging in coastal areas where the weather conditions accelerate it.
One of the key advantages of coating is its ability to create a seamless, uniform membrane over complex roof shapes and profiles. Traditional application methods can struggle with hard-to-reach areas, but spray application ensures complete, consistent coverage with excellent adhesion. This not only enhances the lifespan but also improves the roof’s aesthetic appearance.
From commercial buildings, hospitals, hotels, busy care homes, apartment blocks and warehouses, our coating service offers a reliable, tidy and budget-friendly option that doesn’t compromise on performance.

If the structure is sound, there’s no need to start from scratch. Coating saves time, money and materials - making it ideal for property managers, landlords and business owners alike.
The liquid-applied coating forms a continuous membrane with no seams, joints or overlaps that could fail. It creates a protective barrier that keeps rain, frost and UV out.
We target issues such as cut-end corrosion, lifting metal laps and worn surfaces, especially useful for older metal roofs and profiled sheet systems.
The coating is clean, quiet and quick. We’ll be professional, efficient and will keep disruption to a minimum.
Our coatings are UV-resistant, flexible and able to handle rain, heat and cold. Two types of systems are available and depending on which system that is chosen it will give a 10 year or 25 years guarantee to your roofs .
All coating systems are backed by long-term manufacturer guarantees and our workmanship warranty, giving you total confidence.
We’ll carry out a full roof inspection to assess the condition, identify any damage or corrosion and confirm suitability for coating. We then create a tailored made specification for the work needed.
Our systems can last between 10 and 25 years depending on the type of product most suitable for your specific roof. We’ll recommend the right system for your needs and budget.
Safety and sustainability is a priority with our coating solution. Many modern systems (like ours) offer high fire ratings. In fact one of the systems we install is the only AA fire-rated roof coating available under BS 476-3. And on the environmental perspective, coating can even help lower your building’s carbon footprint by helping you maintain temperatures and use less power to heat and cool.
So coating can be both a safe and sustainable way to protect your roof and keep your building safe.
