Products & Technical
What are the steel roofing sheet sizes?
We offer a range of sheet widths depending on the profile. Flat Metal Sheets are 1,250mm wide, Box Profile Sheets are 1,100mm wide, and Corrugated Sheets are 1,250mm wide. As for length, all sheets are custom — we can cut to any length requested, ensuring a precise fit for your specific project requirements.
How do I fix a Corrugated Box Profile Roof?
Fixing a corrugated roofing sheet requires caution and expertise. While minor repairs such as sealing small cracks can be DIY, seeking specialist help for larger issues is always recommended — especially if the roofing is at height and you lack the appropriate safety equipment. Professionals have the skills to assess damage accurately and avoid further harm to the metal roof.
Are flashings fixable?
Repairing roof flashings — which are crucial for preventing water infiltration — demands precision and skill. While minor fixes may be manageable for experienced individuals, seeking professional assistance is advisable for larger issues. Professionals who handle these components on a daily basis possess the knowledge to assess flashing damage accurately and ensure a proper repair, minimising the risk of further damage to the roof. We always recommend consulting experts first.
Are flashings available in your workshop?
Yes — in our Bolton workshop we not only stock a variety of metal roofing sheets in multiple profiles and colours, but also a full range of accessories to help you finalise your project. This includes flashings, screws, mastic tapes and more. Everything you need is available under one roof.
