At Leicester Industrial Roofing, we specialise in delivering expert over-cladding solutions for commercial and industrial buildings throughout the UK. Our over-cladding services are tailored to boost the durability, appearance, and energy efficiency of your existing roof, all without the disruption or cost of a full roof replacement.

By installing new cladding over your current roofing system, we not only improve its overall performance but also provide enhanced insulation, helping to reduce energy costs and contribute to a more sustainable building environment. Additionally, our over-cladding solutions offer a refreshed, modern look to your property, enhancing both its aesthetic appeal and structural integrity.

Whether you’re dealing with wear and tear, outdated materials, or simply looking to upgrade your building’s efficiency, Leicester Industrial Roofing’s over-cladding service ensures long-term protection and an extended roof lifespan—giving you a cost-effective solution with minimal disruption to your operations.

What is Over-Cladding?

Over-cladding, also called over-sheeting, involves installing a new layer of corrugated cladding directly over the existing roof, allowing the original structure to remain intact. This practical solution minimises disruptions to your daily operations while delivering a durable and efficient roof upgrade. By using a proprietary spacer bar system, we ensure the new cladding is securely supported, enhancing both its stability and longevity. The spacer bars also create a gap between the old and new layers, improving insulation and ventilation, which can boost energy efficiency and reduce long-term maintenance costs. Additionally, over-cladding offers an updated appearance, giving your building a fresh, modern look while protecting it from the elements.

Tailored Solutions for Every Roof

Whether your building has a pitched roof or requires low-pitch applications, our over-cladding systems are designed to be highly versatile. We offer a broad range of materials, including colour-coated steel and aluminium profiled sheeting, to suit your specific needs. For low-pitch roofs, we provide specialised solutions like standing seam and concealed fix systems, which not only deliver enhanced protection but also offer a sleek, modern appearance. These options ensure your roof is not only durable and weather-resistant but also visually appealing, adding value to your property.

Benefits of Over-Cladding

1. Minimal Disruption:
   Over-cladding enables your business to carry on uninterrupted while we enhance your roof. Because the original roof remains in place, there’s no need to relocate or pause operations during the upgrade. This minimises downtime and disruption, allowing your business to stay productive while benefiting from a stronger, more efficient roofing system.
2. Enhanced Insulation:
   Over-cladding offers a valuable chance to enhance your building’s insulation. By incorporating extra insulation layers between the existing roof and the new cladding, we can significantly reduce heat loss and boost energy efficiency. This improvement helps lower heating costs, creating long-term savings for your business. Additionally, it contributes to a more environmentally sustainable building by reducing energy consumption and minimising your carbon footprint.
3. Cost-Effective Solution:
   By eliminating the need to remove the existing roof, over-cladding offers a cost-effective alternative to a full roof replacement. This approach reduces both time and labour expenses, providing the benefits of a new roof at a much lower cost. Despite the savings, over-cladding still delivers strong, long-lasting protection and noticeable aesthetic enhancements, making it an economical solution for upgrading your building’s roof without compromising on quality or durability.
4. Environmental Benefits:
   Over-cladding contributes to waste reduction by preserving the existing roof while enhancing energy efficiency with improved insulation. This environmentally friendly option not only minimises landfill contributions but also lowers your building’s carbon footprint by decreasing energy consumption. By choosing over-cladding, you make a sustainable choice that benefits both your business and the environment, promoting a greener future while enjoying the advantages of an upgraded roofing system.
5. Improved Aesthetics:
   Over-cladding is not only practical but also revitalises your building with a contemporary and polished look. With a variety of customizable cladding materials, colours, and finishes available, you can significantly enhance your property’s visual appeal while simultaneously safeguarding it from environmental elements. This means you can enjoy a stylish upgrade that protects your investment and elevates the overall aesthetic of your facility, making it more inviting and visually striking.
