Gutter Lining Systems, Gutter Repair Sealants and Waterproof Coatings
Long term exposure to water, dirt, grime and vegetation can damage the substrate compounds of industrial roofing gutter systems leading to corrosive holes, seam splits and rust to both the guttering system and any fixtures and fittings that keep the guttering networks in place. These corroded areas then allow water to access the building via tiny gaps or in the case of long-standing water build up due to poorly maintained gutters, this expedites the oxidisation of metal materials on the roofing components causing leaks along seam lines and water draw-back into the roofing panels.
At Industrial Roofing Scotland we work with some of the UK’s leading roofing product manufacturers and have a-number-of tried and tested techniques that can not only revitalise old and tried guttering networks but can positively reinforce them for up to 10-25 years, saving our clients tens-of-thousands of pounds on the cost of replacing an entire industrial roof gutter system. Gutter Repair Sealants and Waterproof Coating Systems can be used to combat water ingress, particularly at the seam, joint and fixture and fitting level on industrial gutter systems.
These gutter sealants and waterproof coatings provide an advanced water tolerant solution which encapsulates all the eroded fixtures and fittings in an anti-corrosive coating which is UV tolerant, temperature and weather resistant and is also unaffected by standing water. Our team can identify problem areas and provide a gutter sealant or coating solution that can extend the life of your existing guttering network by up to 10-25 years. We’ve saved our clients lots of money and heartache over the years by employing gutter sealants and waterproof coating systems to fix problematic areas. These waterproof roof coatings can also be applied to entire roofing structures to give ageing roofs a new lease of life.
Where the gutters on industrial and commercial buildings are beyond repair, we’d likely look at installing one of our gutter lining systems to provide permanent gutter leak prevention. These can be employed to effectively provide clients with a new gutter, that sits within their existing gutter system. The thermoplastic (plygene) liner is made to measure, comes complete with all the relevant fixtures and fittings, end points and drainage outlets to create a completely new industrial guttering system which can extend the life of the gutters by up to 25 years. The materials, seams and end points are heat-sealed together providing a seamless bonded finish in any width, length and profile. It’s a terrific gutter lining system and great value for money against the cost of completely replacing the entire gutter network on an industrial or commercial building.

Gutter Lining Systems, Gutter Repair Sealants and Waterproof Coating Service Breakdown:
Gutter Inspection and Report: In the first instance, Industrial Roofing Scotland will provide you with a complete survey and report of the existing guttering system.
Scope of Works: Along with the client, we’ll scope out the work, provide all the necessary certification and method statements as to how we’ll carry out the works required.
Gutter Sealants & Waterproof Coatings: Within the report, we’ll outline all the areas in need of treatment. With all our gutter repair services, the areas for treatment will undergo a thorough clean before the gutter repair sealants and waterproof coatings are applied. Several coats may be required depending on the length of warranty required.
Gutter Lining Systems: Our team will measure and treat the existing gutter sections to be lined. Install the gutter lining system inside the pre-existing gutter network installing any new flashing and fillers where required. We’ll heat seal all the seams, joints, overlaps and install the outlets to plumb into the existing drainage network ensuring a watertight finish and we’ll probe test all the welds to guarantee up to 25 years of additional life for the gutter guttering system – with an expected lifespan of up to 40 years in some application cases.
Sign-Off: At each phase, along with your assigned project manager, we’ll ensure the works are compete to a professional standard, inspected and any remedial works completed before client sign-off for invoicing and final payment.
Typical Costs
Depending on the type of treatment, whether it’s a gutter sealant / gutter coating or a gutter lining, each will come with its own specific costs. There may also be times when both these techniques are employed together to secure the roofs on industrial buildings. However, costs will include the preparation of the areas needing treated, materials for cleaning and then waterproofing the roof, roof access equipment, the gutter linings system and in larger scale lining installations scaffolding may be required.
Tips and Advice:
- Gutter sealants and waterproof coating systems are a superb value for money alternative to replacing rainwater gutters on industrial and commercial buildings. These can provide an effective medium-to-long term solution to give building owners the time, space and resource to ensure a long-term plan is put in place.
- Gutter Lining Systems can effectively replace even the most tired and degraded gutter system providing an additional 25 years of longevity to a drainage network without the need for complete gutter replacement.
- Again, with any works undertaken on commercial and industrial building roofs, pay attention to guarantees and warranties – the solutions that are available should extend the life of your building’s gutters by years and not just months.
