Industrial buildings face some of the harshest conditions of any commercial property. Exposure to wind, rain, UV radiation and thermal cycling all take their toll on roof systems over time. When problems emerge — leaks, corrosion, failed fixings, standing water — the cost and disruption of a full roof replacement can be staggering. That is where Storm Coatings come in.

As experienced industrial roofing contractors, we specialise in industrial roofing refurbishment using advanced liquid-applied coatings and waterproofing membrane systems. Our approach is designed to extend the serviceable life of your existing roof by decades, without the expense, waste and operational downtime associated with stripping and re-roofing.

We work with all common industrial roof types, including profiled metal sheeting, built-up felt systems, asbestos cement, fibre cement and flat roof constructions. Every project begins with a thorough free survey to assess the condition of your roof and identify the most effective treatment strategy. We then provide a detailed, transparent quotation — no hidden costs and no surprises.

Roof Coatings for Industrial Buildings

Our flagship industrial roofing solution is the application of high-performance roof coatings. These liquid-applied systems bond directly to the existing roof surface, forming a seamless, fully waterproof membrane that eliminates leaks, prevents further corrosion and dramatically improves thermal performance. A single coating application can add 20 or more years of life to a roof that would otherwise need replacing.

We use a range of market-leading coating systems, including Advantage CEC Treatment, to tackle everything from minor weathering to severe corrosion. Our 1,700m² CEC treatment project for a factory in Derby is a great example of the scale and quality we deliver — a comprehensive refurbishment completed on time and within budget.

Waterproofing and Gutter Lining

Leaking gutters and failed valley details are among the most common causes of water ingress in industrial buildings. Our Plygene gutter lining system provides a permanent, maintenance-free solution. We recently completed 145 metres of Plygene gutter lining at a distribution centre in Milton Keynes — a project that eliminated persistent leaks that had been causing damage to stock and equipment for years.

For flat roof areas, we offer reinforced liquid waterproofing systems that can be applied over the existing substrate, avoiding the need for costly tear-off and replacement.

Cut-Edge Corrosion Treatment

Cut-edge corrosion is one of the most widespread problems affecting profiled metal roofs on industrial buildings. It occurs where the factory-applied coating has been cut during manufacture or installation, leaving exposed steel edges vulnerable to rust. Left untreated, it leads to delamination, water ingress and eventually structural failure.

Our specialist cut-edge corrosion treatment halts the deterioration, seals the affected areas and provides long-term protection. It is a fraction of the cost of re-cladding and can be carried out while the building remains fully operational.

• Save 50–70% compared to full roof replacement — our coating and refurbishment systems deliver outstanding performance at a fraction of the cost of stripping and re-roofing.
• Minimal disruption — work is carried out from above with no need to vacate the building, halt production or relocate stock.
• 20+ year guarantees — our systems are backed by long-term manufacturer-backed guarantees, giving you peace of mind for decades.
• Improved thermal performance — reflective coatings reduce solar heat gain, keeping your building cooler in summer and lowering energy costs.
• Environmentally responsible — refurbishment avoids the waste and carbon footprint associated with full roof replacement, supporting your sustainability goals.
• Free surveys and no-obligation quotes — we assess your roof at no cost and provide a detailed, transparent quotation.
• Nationwide coverage — based in Norfolk, we work on industrial roofing projects across the entire UK.

Our industrial roofing services are trusted by businesses across a wide range of sectors, including:

• Manufacturing and engineering — factories, fabrication shops, production facilities
• Warehousing and logistics — distribution centres, storage units, fulfilment hubs
• Food and beverage — processing plants, cold stores, packaging facilities
• Automotive — dealerships, body shops, service centres
• Agriculture — grain stores, livestock buildings, farm workshops
• Retail and trade — trade counters, DIY stores, retail warehouses
• Education and public sector — school buildings, council depots, sports halls

Whatever the size or type of your industrial building, our team has the experience and capability to deliver a roofing solution that meets your needs and budget.

How long does an industrial roof coating last?

Our industrial roof coatings are designed to last 20 years or more when applied correctly. The exact lifespan depends on the condition of the existing roof, the coating system used and the environmental conditions the building is exposed to. All of our systems come with long-term guarantees, and we offer maintenance programmes to maximise the life of your coating.

Can you coat a roof while the building is still in use?

Yes. One of the biggest advantages of our industrial roofing services is that all work is carried out from the outside, above the existing roof. There is no need to stop production, clear the building or relocate staff or stock. Most of our clients continue to operate as normal throughout the project.

Is roof coating suitable for asbestos cement roofs?

Absolutely. In fact, coating an asbestos cement roof is one of the most practical and cost-effective ways to manage it. Encapsulating the surface with a specialist coating seals the asbestos fibres, prevents further deterioration, eliminates leaks and extends the roof’s life — all without the significant cost and regulatory burden of asbestos removal and disposal.

How much does industrial roof refurbishment cost?

Every project is different, but as a general guide, our industrial roofing refurbishment solutions cost between 50% and 70% less than a full roof replacement. We provide free surveys and detailed, no-obligation quotations so you know exactly what to expect. Contact us on 01760 613186 or fill in the form below to arrange your free survey.
