Full re-roofs, over-cladding and new-build commercial roof envelopes — installed by directly employed teams to manufacturer-approved standards. Free site survey, written quotation, programme guaranteed.
New-Cladd is a specialist commercial roofing contractor. We don't do tile-and-batten work on terraced houses, we don't fit conservatories, and we don't dress up a general builder as a roofer. Every member of our installation teams has come up through industrial cladding — and it shows in the finish, the programme certainty and the absence of leaks.
Whether you're a developer specifying a new-build distribution unit, a facilities manager dealing with a thirty-year-old factory roof that's reached the end of its life, or a commercial landlord with a multi-let trade park needing a refurbishment, we work to your timeline, your budget, and the operational reality of your tenants.
We install Kingspan, Tata Steel, Cembrit, Eternit, Filon and Brett Martin systems — the same range specified for blue-chip developments — at independent-contractor prices, with the personal accountability of a directly-employed team.
Every commercial roof brief is different. Insurance class, U-value requirement, internal humidity, fire risk, planning constraints and budget all push the specification in different directions. Below are the systems we specify and install most often.
The workhorse of commercial roofing. Inner liner sheet, structural Z-spacer system, insulation infill, external sheet. U-values down to 0.13 W/m²K, 25–40 year sheet warranties. Ideal for new-build warehouses, factories and distribution centres.
Single-fix Kingspan/Tata composite panels. Faster install, factory-foamed core, predictable U-values. Excellent for occupied-site retrofits where programme time matters.
Box profile, trapezoidal and corrugated steel for cold/agricultural buildings where insulation isn't required. PVDF coated for 40-year coastal life.
The pragmatic option for tired asbestos or galvanised roofs that aren't yet leaking. Fit an insulated new skin straight over the existing — no demolition, no asbestos disposal, no business shutdown. Often 40–60% cheaper than a full strip-and-replace.
Premium concealed-fix zinc, aluminium and steel standing-seam systems for barn conversions, agricultural diversification schemes and architectural commercial buildings.
Modern Cembrit and Eternit fibre-cement sheets — the legitimate replacement for old asbestos cement roofs on agricultural and light-industrial buildings.
Class 3 rooflight replacement, in-line rooflight upgrades and full daylighting redesigns. We co-ordinate sheet profile and rooflight pitch so they actually fit when delivered.
It's rarely just the roof. We renew profiled metal wall cladding, secret-fix flat panel wall systems and curtain-walling alongside roof works — one programme, one mess, one warranty.
Aluminium and steel box gutters, eaves gutters, downpipes, outlets and overflow systems. The single biggest cause of leaks in commercial buildings is the gutter, not the roof.
If you're nodding at more than two of these, it's worth a free survey.
The same area keeps leaking after each “repair”. The fixings have lost their grip, the sheet's flexing, and patching is buying weeks not years.
Visible orange/brown lines across sheet laps from inside the building. Coating's gone, water's ingressing, and the next storm will lift a sheet.
Greyish corrugated cement sheets, often pre-2000. Fragile, breakable, and getting harder/more expensive to legally remove every year. Plan it before it forces itself on you.
Single-skin or aged twin-skin? You're heating the carpark. Modern insulation typically pays for itself in 5–7 years on heated commercial buildings.
If your buildings insurer has loaded the policy or excluded weather damage on the roof, they're telling you something. Re-roofing usually wipes the loading out.
A director attends every survey. If a patch is genuinely the right answer, we'll tell you. If it's not, we'll explain why — clearly, in writing.

Programme depends heavily on size, complexity, asbestos involvement and weather. As a rule of thumb: a 500 m² single-skin re-sheet runs 2–3 weeks; a 2,000 m² over-clad with new rooflights and gutters runs 6–8 weeks; a 5,000 m² strip-and-replace with asbestos involvement runs 12–16 weeks. We'll give you a binding programme with your written quote.
Almost never. With safety netting fitted from day one and phased works, we keep operations running underneath us in nearly every project. We agree exclusion zones, protect stock and machinery, and plan deliveries around your peak hours.
Yes — typically 25 years on the sheets themselves (Plastisol/PVDF coating), backed by the manufacturer (e.g. Tata Confidex, Kingspan). New-Cladd provides a separate workmanship warranty on top, and we co-ordinate any warranty claims directly so you only ever deal with one party.
For the right roof, yes — and significantly cheaper. Over-cladding works when the existing structure is sound, the existing roof isn't actively leaking through, and the building can take the modest extra dead load. We'll assess all three at survey and tell you honestly which approach is the right one for your project.
£10 million public liability, £10 million employer's liability and contractor's all-risks cover. Certificates issued before works start and available on request at survey.
If you're in Kent (KT, ME, CT, TN, BR, DA), East or West Sussex (BN, RH and southern TN), or Essex (CM, SS, RM, IG, EN, CO) the answer is almost certainly yes. We also work the London fringes and parts of Surrey. Call us with your postcode and we'll confirm same-day.
