Agricultural Roofing in Carterton, Oxfordshire

If you're housing cattle or horses, you'll know that condensation is the enemy. Standard metal sheets can often lead to 'internal rain' if they aren't handled correctly, which isn't good for your stock or your bedding. That’s where fibre cement roofing comes in. It’s a bit of a hero in the agricultural world because it’s naturally breathable and helps regulate temperature, keeping things cool in the summer and reducing damp in the winter.We specialise in installing and repairing these breathable systems across West Oxfordshire. They're incredibly durable, won't rust in the salty or damp air, and have a fantastic lifespan. Most homeowners and farm managers we speak to in Carterton appreciate that once these sheets are up, they can pretty much forget about them for decades. If your current stable roofs are looking a bit weary or you're planning a new build, we can walk you through the best profiles to ensure your animals stay healthy and comfortable.

For grain stores, workshops, and machinery sheds, you can’t beat the strength of steel box profile or corrugated sheeting. It’s tough, cost-effective, and comes in various colours to blend in with the Oxfordshire landscape. But what happens when the wind picks up and catches a loose sheet? One missing panel can quickly lead to a much bigger headache if the wind gets under the rest of the run.Our team provides rapid barn repairs throughout the Carterton area, especially after those nasty winter storms. We don't just slap a patch on; we check your purlins for rot and ensure the fixings are secure enough to withstand the next gale. We also offer anti-condensation backing (often called Drip-stop) for metal roofs. It’s a simple fabric layer applied to the underside of the sheets that traps moisture and prevents it from dripping onto your tractors or stored crops. It's a small investment that saves a lot of stress in the long run.

Replacing a massive barn roof can feel like a daunting expense. However, did you know you might not have to strip the whole thing? If your existing structure is still sound but the old sheets are starting to fail, over-sheeting (or over-cladding) could be the perfect solution. It involves fixing a new layer of modern, weatherproof cladding directly over the old roof, effectively giving you a double-skinned, insulated barrier without the cost and mess of a full tear-off.It’s a brilliant way to modernise an older building while keeping your operations running underneath. We've used this method on many rural buildings around Oxfordshire to extend their life by another 25 years or more. It’s faster, cleaner, and much kinder to your budget. We’ll always give you an honest assessment—if a repair is all you need, that’s what we’ll tell you. We’re here to build long-term relationships with our local farming community, not to push for the most expensive option.

It’s easy to ignore the gutters on a high barn, but when they block up, the sheer volume of water coming off a large agricultural roof is immense. This can lead to foundation damage, damp walls, and muddy entrances that make daily work a nightmare. We install heavy-duty agricultural guttering systems designed to handle the massive run-off that domestic gutters just can't cope with.Beyond the pipes and downspouts, we also look at the 'bits and bobs' that make a roof work—like roof lights. Are your barns dark and dingy? Replacing old, yellowed translucent sheets with new clear ones can transform your workspace and save you a fortune on electricity. From flashings and ridges to ensuring your farm building maintenance is up to scratch, we cover every inch of your roofline to make sure it’s as efficient as possible.
