Agricultural Roofing in Lechlade-On-Thames, Gloucestershire

Have you noticed condensation dripping from your shed roof onto your cattle or sheep? It's a common headache with older metal sheets. That's why we often recommend fibre cement roofing for livestock housing. It's a breathable material that naturally absorbs moisture, keeping the atmosphere inside much healthier for your animals. It doesn't rust either, which is a massive plus in our damp UK climate. We've installed these systems on everything from small lambing sheds to large-scale dairy units across the Cotswold area. If your current roof is looking a bit tired or you're seeing those tell-tale damp patches on the bedding, it might be time for a change. We can usually swap out old sheets with minimal disruption to your daily routine—because we know the cows won't wait for us to finish before they want feeding.

When it comes to protecting high-value kit or tonnes of grain, you need something that can take a beating from the wind and rain. Our box profile and corrugated steel cladding are the go-to choices for modern farm buildings in Gloucestershire. We use high-quality plastic-coated or galvanised sheets that are designed to last for decades, not just years. To stop that annoying 'indoor rain' caused by condensation under metal, we can supply sheets with 'drip-stop' or anti-condensation backing. This fabric layer holds the moisture until the temperature rises and it can evaporate naturally. It's a simple, cost-effective fix that saves a lot of grief. Imagine the peace of mind knowing your combines and tractors are under a roof that won't let a drop through during the next winter storm.

A full roof replacement isn't always the only answer. Most farmers we speak to are looking for the most cost-effective way to secure a building without breaking the bank. If your old roof structure is still solid but the sheets themselves are failing, over-sheeting could be the perfect middle ground. We essentially install a new layer of modern cladding directly over the existing one. This avoids the cost and hassle of a full strip-off and keeps your building in use while we work. Of course, if it's just a few loose flashings or a leaking gutter that's the problem, we're more than happy to sort those smaller repairs too. We've spent years climbing onto purlins to fix slipped sheets and blocked industrial gutters—no job is too small when it's your livelihood on the line.

Lechlade-On-Thames and the wider Cotswold area are famous for those beautiful historic stone barns. They're a vital part of our landscape, but they require a different touch than a modern steel shed. If you're lucky enough to own one, you'll know that standard modern materials often look completely out of place. We're skilled in heritage roofing and leadwork, meaning we can repair or restore stone slate roofs using traditional methods that satisfy conservation requirements. Whether it's repointing a gable end or carefully replacing individual stone tiles, we treat these buildings with the respect they deserve. We combine that old-world craftsmanship with modern tech like drone roof surveys, allowing us to inspect high ridges and awkward valleys without needing expensive scaffolding just for a quick look.
