Factories, food plants, warehouses and distribution sheds cannot stop for the roof. We overclad, re-sheet, line gutters, replace rooflights and refurbish flat roofs over running production, with safety netting from our own division and a programme planned around shifts and shutdowns.
Walkers Crisps in Leicester is a £500k and ongoing programme of roof replacements over a working manufacturing plant, delivered alongside Summers Inman. Food hygiene, contamination control and continuous production shape every method statement.
Roof and wall overcladding, gutter lining and rooflight replacement are the bread and butter of industrial roofing: the existing roof stays in place, the building stays dry, and the thermal performance jumps. Asbestos cement is encapsulated or removed by licensed contractors.
Fragile industrial roofs are netted from below by our own FASET trained riggers, so gutter, rooflight and overcladding work is carried out with collective fall protection in place from day one.
Where a shutdown is available we plan the roof around it, with the labour and the materials on site to make the most of the window and a contingency for the weather.
Yes. Overcladding, gutter lining and rooflight replacement are all done from the outside with the existing roof in place, and flat roof refurbishment is phased so no area is exposed. Netting from our own division protects the roof edge and any fragile areas.
Method statements are written to the site hygiene requirements: sealed working areas, controlled cutting, no debris through the roof, and daily clearance. Walkers Crisps is a live example of this working over several roofs.
Yes. Overcladding encapsulates a sound asbestos cement roof; where removal is needed, licensed contractors carry it out under a plan of work within the same contract.
Overcladding with insulation between the spacer system takes a single skin roof to a compliant U-value. Combined with new triple skin rooflights it changes the heating bill and the working environment.
Yes. Absolute Netting installs safety netting nationwide for our own projects and for other roofing, cladding and steelwork contractors.
