Welbro can offer repairs on any of the products that are listed on this website, and we also offer a maintenance service on building envelopes. We feel that building maintenance is something which is often neglected by businesses. You wouldn’t drive your car without having it serviced regularly, so why should your building suffer in this same way. We carry out an initial inspection report, after which you are under no obligation to carry out any of the works suggested. It will include a range of options for regular maintenance, including gutter cleaning, scratch repairs to cladding and industrial door servicing, and then it is up to the client to decide the best course of action. We also offer a range of roof treatments, which can be an effective way to patch repair roofs. Welbro have extensive experience of roof treatments and will be pleased to advise on the pros and cons of each type of system. It really is worth bearing in mind that not only is prevention better than cure, it is very often cheaper in the long run! Conditional Surveys Welbro have experienced roofing surveyors who can undertake a conditional survey and prepare a full report with photographic evidence, ideal if you are preparing capital budgets or interested in purchasing/ renting an industrial building. Vents and Extracts Vents are an effective way of preventing condensation within a building, however when a hole is cut into a roof it creates a potential source of leakage so it is very important to weather these penetrations properly. Welbro can provide replacement flashings and soakers for defective ones on existing roofs or cut new holes and weather them appropriately for the installation of new vents or extracts. Cutting roof sheets drastically weakens them and so additional support is often required to render the roof safe. Welbro can design and install the adequate additional support required for new or existing vents. Roof Access and Safety Systems Since the introduction of the CDM legislation in 1994 there has been a drive to consider the future maintenance of a building. This has lead to Welbro offering a range of running lines and safety systems that afford safe access to roof areas for routine maintenance. These are anchor points where safety harnesses can be secured to stop operatives falling off a roof. New systems are provided with harnesses and safety training can be provided for clients wishing to use the systems themselves. Although the initial outlay for these safety systems can seem expensive, it definitely works out cheaper in the long run. As regular maintenance to a building is necessary running lines are one of the most cost effective ways of getting operatives up on the roof safely, it certainly works out cheaper than having scaffolding erected each time the building needs maintenance. Windows Windows need very little introduction, but Welbro can design, supply and fit new windows with metal, aluminium or Upvc frames in brickwork or metal cladding systems. We have extensive experience in fitting windows, especially in metal cladding systems and we can also replace damaged glazing units and redecorate frames where required. |
