Defers Replacement
Adds fifteen to twenty-five years to your existing roof. That's a new roof you don't have to buy.
Roof Protection
Industrial Roof Coatings Services UK
A leaking roof doesn't always need replacing. We apply specialist coating systems to metal, fibre cement, and profiled steel roofs across the UK, sealing them up and adding fifteen to twenty-five years of life.
What you can expect
What every industrial roof coating project includes as standard.
Full Waterproofing
Seamless coating systems seal laps, fixings, cut edges and penetrations against water ingress.
UV and Thermal Protection
Reflective topcoat options reduce solar heat gain and UV degradation of the roof membrane.
Accredited Application
IPAF and PASMA certified teams. Full height safety documentation for every project.

How we do it
Our four-stage process for every industrial roof coatings project.
Survey and Specification
We inspect roof condition, identify cut edge corrosion, lap failures and any penetrations, and produce a full specification and programme.
Cleaning and Preparation
Roof is pressure-washed, moss and debris removed, and all surfaces degreased. Cut edges and laps are treated and sealed.
Primer and Waterproof Membrane
The specified primer is applied, followed by the reinforcing membrane coat over all laps, fixings and vulnerable details.
Topcoat Application
The finishing topcoat is applied to the full roof area to the specified dry film thickness, providing weatherproofing and UV protection.
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about our industrial roof coatings service.
How long does a roof coating last?
A correctly specified and applied industrial roof coating performs for fifteen to twenty-five years depending on coating system, substrate condition and environmental exposure.
Can you coat asbestos cement roofs?
Yes. We apply specialist asbestos-encapsulation primer systems to asbestos cement roof sheets, subject to HSE guidance and site-specific risk assessment.
What is cut edge corrosion?
Cut edge corrosion occurs at the exposed steel edges of overlapping roof sheets, where the cut coating allows moisture to penetrate. It accelerates rapidly if untreated. See our dedicated cut edge corrosion service.
Do you organise scaffolding?
Yes. Scaffold, MEWP and other access solutions are arranged by Vanda. All operatives hold IPAF and PASMA accreditation.
What is the cost versus replacement?
Industrial roof coating typically costs 20–30% of full roof replacement while delivering comparable weatherproofing and service life extension. Precise costs depend on roof area, condition and system specification.
