Roof guide

Why refurbish instead of replace?

A guide for building owners, asset managers and roofing consultants. Often the roof structure is sound while the waterproofing has failed — so full replacement may be more than you actually need.

Many commercial and industrial metal roofs begin to leak long before they reach the end of their structural life. In many cases the roof structure remains sound while waterproofing, fasteners and protective coatings have deteriorated.

Refurbishment can restore performance, extend roof life and minimise disruption at a significantly lower cost than full roof replacement.
