Commercial Roofing / Cladding

In the above image you can see :

On the left: the original roof sheets have been fully removed, perimeter guardrail installed with fall arrest safety netting below, a critical safety measure to protect workers during the process. 

In the centre: Partially stripped section in progress, where operatives are carefully removing the old sheeting while working in controlled zones.   

On the right: Existing roof sheets yet to be removed, showing the full scope of the refurbishment project.  This methodical, phased approach ensures: 

  • Maximum site safety 
  • Continuous workflow without full shutdown 
  • Protection of internal operations and equipment

One of the most important phases of our roof refurbishment project: replacing compromised purlins with new steel sections to futureproof the building envelope.

Left Image: Damaged and deformed purlins exposed during the strip-out phase. The existing condition posies a real risk to structural integrity and long-term performance. 

Right Image: Brand new purlins installed across the span, now providing a clean, secure base for the replacement roof covering.     

WHY THIS MATTERS

Restores structural strength, ensures compliance with current load-bearing standard  Prevents water ingress, damaged purlins often compromise roof sealing  Improves safety, essential for protecting workers and occupants below  Increases lifespan, maximising ROI on the entire refurbishment project

We’ve successfully overhauled approx. 2,400 square metres of roof area.  

Scope of works: 

  • Full removal of the aged existing roof 
  • Replacement of compromised purlins 
  • Installation of Tata Steel Trisomet® composite panels 
  • Delivered to the Tata Steel Platinum Plus specification system    

WHY THIS UPGRADE MAKES A DIFFERENCE

Improved Energy Efficiency 

The Trisomet® composite panel system offers exceptional thermal performance—helping reduce heat loss and lower operational costs. 

Platinum Plus Peace of Mind 

Backed by Tata Steel’s Platinum Plus 25-year system guarantee, covering both product integrity and system performance. 

Fast, Safe Installation 

Composite panel systems enable faster install times, reducing time on site and limiting disruption to operational areas. 

A Modernised, Durable Finish 

The crisp, clean new roof enhances both aesthetic and structural value—future-proofing the building envelope for decades to come. 

Built for Today, Ready for Tomorrow 

This system meets today’s building standards while offering the resilience and flexibility to adapt to evolving demands.
