Cladding division

Industrial Cladding Contractors

UDM installs, repairs and replaces industrial roof and wall cladding on warehouses, factories, distribution centres and commercial units. One accountable team handles the survey, the specification, the access plan and the installation.

Written for facilities managers, developers, warehouse owners and principal contractors who need cladding priced, programmed and installed without disrupting the operation.

Industrial cladding services

Every cladding package is priced from a condition survey rather than a guess, so the scope you approve is the scope that gets built.

  • New-build industrial roof and wall cladding
  • Insulated composite panel systems
  • Built-up and single-skin systems
  • Ashgrid and structural liner systems
  • Gutter lining, flashings and rainwater goods
  • Cladding repairs, leak tracing and panel replacement
  • Thermal and weatherproofing upgrades
  • Condition surveys and dilapidation reports

Working around a live building

Most of our cladding work happens on buildings that cannot shut down. We plan access, phasing, temporary weatherproofing and out-of-hours working so the racking stays loaded, the production line keeps running and the yard stays usable.

Compliance and safety

RAMS issued before mobilisation, CSCS-carded operatives, IPAF and PASMA trained teams, full public liability cover and a named site contact for the duration of the works.

Common questions

Industrial Cladding FAQs

Something else you want to know? Call the office on 020 3411 2372 or WhatsApp Josh.

How much does industrial cladding cost per square metre?

Cost depends on the system, the roof pitch, access and whether the building stays live. After a site survey we issue a fixed measured price broken down by roof, walls, gutters and access so you can see exactly what you are buying.

Can you clad a building while it is occupied?

Yes. Most of our projects are on operational buildings. We phase the works bay by bay, keep the building watertight overnight and can work weekends or nights where the operation demands it.

Do you carry out cladding surveys before quoting?

Always. A survey identifies fixings, purlin condition, insulation type, asbestos risk and any structural issues before a price is committed.
