Frequently asked questions
Does an industrial roof need maintenance?
A&I says maintenance programmes can extend the life of the roof and help protect stock, machinery and people below it.
Refurbish or replace?
A&I notes that full replacement can be expensive and that many buildings can benefit from targeted refurbishment instead, depending on condition.
Can roof upgrades reduce energy demand?
A&I points to natural lighting, insulation and ventilation as options that can reduce the demand for artificial lighting and cooling.
What about guarantees?
A&I says guarantees are linked to the building environment and recommended maintenance schedules.
How is health and safety handled?
A&I states that it uses site-specific safety files, a full-time safety officer and working-at-height / fall-arrest training.
