A leaking or tired commercial roof does not always need replacing. For structurally sound roofs, roof coating restores waterproofing and appearance for a fraction of the cost — and keeps the building in use.
The cost gap
Stripping and re-sheeting a large industrial roof is one of the most expensive jobs a building owner faces, with scaffolding, disposal and weeks of disruption. Recoating reuses the existing roof and is measured in days.
When recoating is right
- The roof is structurally sound but weathered or leaking at laps and fixings
- Cut-edge corrosion is starting on metal sheets
- You want to extend roof life and defer capital spend
- The building must stay operational throughout
When to replace
If the deck or sheets are physically failing or beyond economical repair, replacement is the right call. An honest contractor will tell you which camp you are in.
What recoating involves
We pressure-clean, treat corrosion and growth, repair laps and fixings, then apply high-build weatherproof coatings. We often combine it with cut-edge corrosion treatment for a complete, long-lasting result.
