Metal roofing and cladding
Roofline installs and repairs metal roofing and wall cladding on commercial and industrial buildings across Barnsley. Built-up systems, composite panels, standing seam and profiled sheet, with the flashings, fixings and edge details that decide how long a metal roof actually lasts.
Metal roofs live or die at the details
A profiled steel sheet will last decades. What fails is everything around it: fixings that back out, sealant laps that open, cut edges that corrode, flashings that were made too short. Roofline fits metal roofing and cladding to the manufacturer's method and the industry guidance, and we repair the details on existing roofs before they turn into sheet replacement.

Systems we install
Built-up systems
Two sheets with insulation between, on a spacer system. The workhorse of industrial roofing. Flexible on thickness of insulation and on profile.
Composite panels
Factory-bonded insulated panels, fast to fit, with a clean finish inside and out. Good where the inside has to stay clean: food, pharmaceutical and similar.
Standing seam
Long sheets with concealed clips and no through fixings on the weathering surface. The premium choice for low pitches and architectural work.
Wall cladding
Horizontal and vertical profiled and composite wall systems, re-cladding of tired elevations and new cladding on extensions.
Questions we are asked about metal roofing and cladding
Can you repair a metal roof rather than replace it?
Very often. Loose fixings, failed lap sealants, corroded cut edges and damaged flashings are all repairable, and a metal roof that is repaired and coated at the right time can gain 15 to 25 years. We will tell you when a roof has gone past that point and replacement is the better spend.
What is the difference between built-up and composite?
A built-up system is assembled on the roof from a liner sheet, the insulation and the outer sheet, which gives flexibility on insulation thickness and profile. A composite panel arrives from the factory as one insulated unit, fits faster and gives a clean internal finish. Cost is similar; the choice depends on the building and the programme.
Do you do wall cladding as well as roofs?
Yes. Re-cladding a tired elevation transforms how a unit looks and lets, and it is usually done alongside the roof so the details at the eaves and corners are handled once.
Book a site survey
A survey and written condition report is the starting point for every commercial job. It tells you what you have, what it needs and what it will cost, so you can plan and budget properly.
We plan the work so the premises stay open. Areas are phased and sealed off, dust and noise are kept down, and we work early, late or at weekends where the site needs it.

Tell us about the building and we will arrange a survey at a time that suits the site.
