Our focus here at Valent Roofing is heavily involved in the production and repairs of industrial roofs- however this doesn’t meaning that there aren’t a wide range of roofing types out there. In this blog, we’re going to go over a few of the popular types of roofing…

Slate

For a sophisticated and upscale home, slate may be the roofing answer you’ve been looking for. Slate is a fire resistant material and is not vulnerable to the effects of rot like other materials are. In fact, other benefits of this roofing material include its low maintenance, natural aesthetic appearance and 100 year life span!

Metal

Metal roofing is becoming more and more popular, especially within the industrial roofing industry! It is low maintenance, lightweight in comparison to other roofing materials and is rather eco-friendly. Despite this, the installation of metal roofing is known to be a tricky task so it must be done by a professional who has the necessary experience.

Wood Shakes

For a green and environmentally friendly roofing choice, wood shakes is a naturally renewable material used within roofing. In fact, it can even be formed from recycled wood. The materials used during this type of roofing has a minimal effect on the environment and with the correct care, a wood shakes roof can have a lifespan of up to 30 years.

One key part of business is having reviews and projects to back up the quality of the services you offer. Any company can claim they are the best at what they do, however it is the reviews and projects that really sell a company’s credibility. Here at Valent Roofing, we are excited to share with you two major projects that we have been invited to work on…

1. Valent Roofing are excited to announce that we have been chosen to carry out important work at Bolton train station. A few years ago, another company were asked to place some canopies over the platforms- however it has recently been decided that these canopies are too close to the train line for comfort. Although trains are still able to pass through, the situation is not ideal. The team here at Valent Roofing are honoured to fix this problem and we will be removing some of the materials to ensure that the canopies fit to an ideal height.

2. There’s nothing better than revamping a look to suit a modern design. Our next project is based in Nelson, near Burnley, and we have been hired by a company called Biz Space in order to replace the slate roof of an old mill. Biz Space has bought the mill in order to turn it into offices and want us to provide them with a modern metal sheet roof. It’s safe to say we can’t wait to get started!

We are a dedicated and hardworking team that strives to complete even the biggest projects around, as you can see from our examples above! Get in contact today to find out more information!

Like many things, a commercial roof requires a lot of maintenance and repairs. It is important to know what you are looking for when it comes to things such as roof damage, as spotting it early means that it can be easily repaired. Here are three signs of commercial roof damage you should always be looking out for…

1. Blistering or bubbling on the roof

This is usually an important tell-tale sign that water has been allowed to enter a building from somewhere in the roof and has become trapped underneath the surface. This is because insulation will not swell unless it is exposed to water. If this is not treated, it can lead to the spread of mould.

2. Sagging or stained ceilings

An almost definite sign of a leak, this clue indicates that a problem could be situated below the top of the roof; however, any ponding of water may have compressed any insulation or it is possible that roof join may just be broken.

3. Bad Odours

An unpleasant smell usually occurs after water has been able to penetrate a commercial building and left to settle. The smell usually occurs due to growth of mould.

Here at Valent Roofing, we specialise in commercial roofing maintenance and repair, especially when it comes to thinks such as leaks. We think that it is important our clients know what to look for as this means that it can be repaired much faster. If you spot any problems with your building, call the experts on industrial roofing today!

Whatever the use of your industrial building, having the right roofing material is just as important as having the right brick material. Here are the top two industrial roofing materials…

Twin Skin Roofing

A cheaper option when it comes to choosing a roofing material, this material is very durable. What you save in price however, you may spend in labour as the installation of this roofing is timely and each piece/layer must be installed individually. This does offer flexibility in choice as the owner of the building is able to pick and choose how thick they would like the roof to be as each layer is installed. It also allows for the choice of a specific top layer. Plus, during repairs, twin skin roofing can be easier to fix.

Composite Roofing

This type of roofing could be seen as the most popular and commonly used, particularly for warehouse and industrial use. It is comprised of pre-assembled structures with insulation sandwiched inside between the upper and lower sections/panels. This means that it is fairly simple and easy to construct and is very quick to fix if any repairs were needed. Composite roofing and twin skin roofing materials are fairly similar, if not the same, material when it comes to comparing them side by side- however composite roofing is supplied as a ready product, meaning that it is very quick to install whereas twin skin roofing must be installed layer by layer separately.

There are many different types of commercial roof cladding materials available on the market, however this often makes it difficult for people to choose which one is right for them. After all, they must consider many factors: such as how it benefits them personally, the climate in which they live, their available budget and whether they’re searching for aesthetic qualities or not. Here are the different types of cladding…

Steel Roof Cladding

Stainless steel is very resistant to damage, including scuff marks and corrosive effects such as rust. This makes it a good roofing material as it’s oxidised top layer provides a hygienic and no porous surface. Plus, it is also durable, lightweight and very low maintenance.

Zinc Roof Cladding

Zinc is known for being a very versatile material which means that it can be easily moulded and shaped into many forms without sacrificing its durability. In addition to this, it is also weatherproof and just like steel, it is resistant to corrosion- however it is also much cheaper.

Copper Roofing Cladding

This cladding option can be rather costly, however it may save you money in the long run due to its reflective properties. This characteristic enables it to reflect summer heat whilst retaining winter heat. It also has a very aesthetic appearance and is perfect for irregular shaped roofs.

Wooden Roof Cladding

Although wooden, this cladding material is surprisingly strong and insulates a building very well despite its lightweight characteristic. It can be very easily adapted and is often installed in long overlapping boards. It must be maintained, however, to ensure that it does not fall victim to damages

Within the industrial roofing industry, there have been many myths spread from person to person for many years. In fact, some of these myths have made their way outside of the industry. These false facts may be stopping you from getting the roof that you want- however today, we’re going be to busting a few of these myths once and for all…

Myth: You can fix your own roof

Repairing a roof, especially an industrial roof, requires an extensive amount of knowledge and expertise- and the people who do this best are the professionals. This means that they will have had training to be scaling the roofs of large industrial buildings and will use the necessary safety equipment. Nobody except a professional should attempt to fix their own roof, regardless of whether it is an industrial or residential roof.

Myth: Metal roofs are not aesthetically pleasing

Metal roofs are known for their durability and resistance to the effect of external factors such as cracking, fading and even corrosion. Metal has never really been admired for its beauty. Despite this, we now have a wide range of colour and styles available in order to smarten up the appearance of metal roofing.

Myth: Roof repairs cost too much

Long story short, a roof repair only tends to be costly when the owner does not schedule regular maintenance and check-ups. The earlier a problem with a roof is detected, especially on an industrial roof, the less time and money it will cost to fix. With regular maintenance and repairs, issues should never go undetected and left until a situation becomes dire.

Here at Valent Roofing, we would like all of our present customers and potential customers to be able to tell fact from myth when it comes to everything industrial roofing related, which is why we have placed emphasis on the importance of regular repair and maintenance.
