Steel Roof Replacement

Modern box profile and fibre cement re-roofing for sheds, workshops and grain buildings. Designed for weather endurance and long-term performance.

Home › Services › Steel Roof Replacement

The roof we fit is the part you live with for the next thirty years - so we treat the replacement as seriously as the removal. Every roof is designed for the building it protects: its span, its use, its exposure and its ventilation.

We fit the full range of modern agricultural and industrial systems - from single-skin steel on a workshop to insulated composite panels on a grain store, and Anticon-backed box profile steel where condensation control matters. Rooflights, flashings and gutters are all part of the finish.

Not sure which system suits your building? Send the dimensions and tell us how you use the space - we will recommend the right specification with your 48-hour budget quote.

Replacement options to suit the building

Where the old roof is coming off anyway, the new roof goes on with fresh purlin lines, correct fixing patterns and properly detailed flashings - that combination is what makes a re-roof last.

Box profile steelThe workhorse. Strong, light and quick to fit. With Anticon backing it controls condensation - the system proven on our Isle of Mull build.
40mm insulated composite panelsWarm, quiet and energy efficient. The upgrade that transforms running costs for grain stores and industrial units - as used at Coatbridge and Stirlingshire.
Big 6 fibre cementThe classic agricultural profile, fixed to existing concrete purlins with J-hook fixings - the system delivered in Ayrshire.
Single-skin steelSimple and cost effective for workshops and stores - as completed in East Renfrewshire.

FAQs

Common questions

Steel or fibre cement - which is right for my building?

Both are proven. Fibre cement suits traditional barns and matches older buildings; steel wins on weight, speed and condensation control with Anticon backing. We recommend based on the building's use and exposure - ask with your quote.

Will the new roof stop condensation?

Condensation is managed by the right system plus ventilation. Anticon-backed steel is designed exactly for this and is our standard recommendation for livestock and storage buildings.

How long will the replacement last?

Modern steel and composite systems are designed for decades of service, and manufacturer warranties apply to materials. Our workmanship guarantee covers the fit - the length of both is confirmed on your quotation.

Can you match my existing roof profile?

In most cases, yes - Big 6 and common box profiles are standard. Tell us what is on the building when you request the quote.
