Sheeted and tiled pitched roof replacement

Pitched roofs on commercial and industrial buildings are replaced under the same contract as the flat roofs beside them. Profiled sheet strip and replace, including asbestos removal by licensed contractors, and slate and tile roofs through Absolute Roofing Solutions, our sister company within the Absolute Group.

What is included

Every pitched roof replacement, specified and guaranteed

Profiled sheet strip and replace

Where the existing sheet or its purlins are beyond overcladding, the roof is stripped and re-sheeted with new insulated composite or built-up metal sheeting, new rooflights, gutters and flashings, phased bay by bay so the building stays as dry as the programme allows.

Asbestos removal

Asbestos cement sheeting is removed by licensed contractors under a controlled plan of work, with the notification, air monitoring and waste consignment handled within the contract. It is a routine part of industrial re-roofing for us.

Slate, tile and lead

Through Absolute Roofing Solutions we re-roof and repair slate and tile roofs, rebuild chimneys and renew lead flashings on the same estates. South and City College Birmingham had slate and clay tiled roofs repaired and a dilapidated chimney rebuilt within the same £450k contract as its flat roofs.

Scaffolding within the group

Absolute Scaffold provides the access, so the scaffold design, the roofing programme and the safety plan come from one group under one contracts manager.

Questions

Asked and answered

Do you replace tiled roofs or only industrial sheeting?

Both. Profiled sheet and composite roofs are carried out by our own teams; slate and tile roofs, chimneys and lead work are delivered by Absolute Roofing Solutions within the group, usually under the same contract.

Can the building stay open during a re-sheet?

Usually, with planning. The roof is stripped and replaced bay by bay, temporary weather protection is used where needed and the areas underneath are cleared or protected. On a fully occupied production building, overcladding may be the better option and we will say so.

How do you handle asbestos?

Removal is by licensed contractors under a plan of work, with HSE notification where required, air monitoring and consigned waste disposal. The paperwork is part of the handover file.

Are new pitched roofs guaranteed?

Yes. Composite and built-up sheeting carries manufacturer guarantees on the coating and the system, and our workmanship warranty covers the installation. Slate and tile work is guaranteed by the group company that carries it out.

Can you replace a pitched roof and the flat roofs at the same time?

Yes, and most of our school and college contracts include both. One contracts manager, one programme, one scaffold and one handover.
