Industrial & Commercial Overcladding Systems in Yorkshire
Refurbish ageing industrial buildings without costly strip-out or operational downtime. Overcladding is one of the most cost-effective ways to upgrade failing industrial and commercial roofs and walls. YourClad installs modern steel and insulated systems over existing structures, transforming tired units into weatherproof, energy-efficient buildings built for long-term performance.

Installation • Yorkshire
Refurbishment Without Full Replacement
Full strip and replace is not always necessary. In many cases, overcladding allows new steel sheets or insulated composite panels to be installed over the existing roof or wall system, eliminating leaks, improving insulation and modernising appearance without shutting down operations.
- Avoid costly strip-out and disposal
- Reduce downtime for operational sites
- Improve thermal performance and EPC ratings
Industrial & Commercial Overcladding Systems — Yorkshire
Overcladding is one of the most cost-effective ways to refurbish ageing industrial and commercial buildings without a full strip and replace. We install new steel sheeting or insulated panels over existing roof or wall systems to stop leaks, improve thermal performance and modernise appearance with minimal disruption to operations.
-
Roof Overcladding Installed over asbestos cement, single skin steel or failing felt systems. Insulated upgrades available for improved thermal performance and reduced condensation.
-
Wall Overcladding Vertical or horizontal cladding systems, built-up systems and composite panel upgrades to refurbish elevations and deliver a modernised external finish.
-
Cut Edge Corrosion Treatment Mechanical preparation and sealing systems to prevent further steel degradation and extend roof life — ideal when ageing sheets show corrosion at exposed edges.
-
Insulation Upgrades Enhanced thermal performance, improved EPC ratings and reduced heating costs for industrial and commercial units (where applicable to the existing build-up).
-
Why Choose Overcladding? No costly strip-out or full removal • Minimal disruption to ongoing operations • Improved thermal performance • Modern commercial appearance • Increased long-term property value

Overcladding FAQ
Key questions about industrial and commercial overcladding systems across Yorkshire.
Can you overclad asbestos cement roofs? ⌄
Yes. Where suitable, new steel systems can be installed over existing asbestos cement sheets, avoiding full strip-out and significantly reducing disruption.
Is overcladding cheaper than full replacement? ⌄
In many cases, yes. Overcladding avoids removal and disposal costs while still delivering long-term protection, structural improvement and modernised appearance.
Will overcladding improve insulation? ⌄
Yes. Insulated composite panel systems significantly improve thermal performance, reduce condensation and enhance overall energy efficiency.
Does overcladding disrupt business operations? ⌄
Overcladding is designed to minimise downtime compared to full strip and replace projects, making it a practical solution for operational industrial units.
