PROJECT CASE STUDY
Ryton Industrial Roof Refurbishment
Ryton, Tyne and Wear • Roof over-sheeting and refurbishment
Project background
The existing flat mineral-felt roof had been damaged during severe weather. Sections of the felt covering were torn away, exposing insulation boards and leaving the roof vulnerable to further water ingress.
The refurbishment needed to address the damaged covering, drainage and the new insulated outer roof while working with the retained structure.
Project facts
- Location: Ryton
- Existing roof: storm-damaged mineral felt
- ICS scope: gutter, spacer support, insulation and profiled metal outer roof
- Project type: industrial roof refurbishment
The work undertaken
ICS installed a new galvanised-steel valley gutter and fixed Z-bar spacer supports back to the structural purlins through the retained roof build-up.
A vapour-control layer and mineral-wool insulation were added before the roof was finished with profiled metal sheeting. The photographs document the damaged roof, the new gutter and spacer arrangement, and the completed metal roof covering.

Result and next step
The completed refurbishment provided a new profiled metal outer covering above the retained roof build-up, with the valley gutter, vapour control and insulation incorporated into the project-specific system.
For a similar building, ICS first reviews the existing roof condition, supporting structure, drainage, rooflights, penetrations and access before advising whether over-cladding or full replacement should be considered.
