Top 9 Roof Cladding Contractors in the UK 2026

Roof cladding is the outer skin of an industrial or commercial building, from profiled metal sheets to insulated composite panels. Done well it keeps the building watertight and warm for decades. These nine UK firms all handle roof cladding, with a quick steer on what each does best.

1. AMS Cladding

Best for: end to end roof cladding in the North West.

More than thirty years in, AMS Cladding handle the whole job from survey and design through to install and aftercare.

North West based but working nationally, they suit owners who want one firm to own the project start to finish.

2. Nationwide Industrial Roofing

Best for: roof cladding on industrial and commercial buildings.

Roof cladding sits right at the heart of what Nationwide Industrial Roofing does.

The company installs and replaces profiled metal roof sheeting and insulated composite roof panels on warehouses, factories, and commercial units, and it handles over cladding where an existing roof can be recovered rather than stripped. Because it works across built up metal, composite, single ply, and liquid systems, it can match the right roof cladding to the building rather than forcing one product onto every job.

Based in Essex and covering the southern counties, it backs the work with surveys, planned maintenance, 24/7 emergency repairs, and guarantees of up to 20 years. On larger jobs it can phase the work around a live site so the business below keeps running.

3. Clad-IT

Best for: over cladding warehouses and cold stores.

Clad-IT spend their days on factories, warehouses, distribution centres, and cold stores.

Over cladding is their strong suit, fitting new panels over a tired roof or wall to lift the insulation without a full strip out.

4. HBMS Cladding

Best for: combined roof and wall cladding.

HBMS run roofing and cladding together on industrial and commercial buildings.

A clean option when one building needs both and you would rather not split the trades.

5. Central Group

Best for: multi region cladding estates.

With branches from Hereford up to Edinburgh, Central Group covers roof and wall cladding across the country.

A sensible pick when your buildings are spread across several regions.

6. Balmore Specialist Contracts

Best for: roof sheet repair and replacement.

Thirty five years of putting tired cladding right rather than tearing it all down.

Corroded sheets, failed laps, weather beaten steel. Balmore fix what is salvageable and replace only what has to go.

7. Salmon Solutions

Best for: metal roof cladding across sectors.

Salmon Solutions fit metal cladding well beyond the usual factory work, taking in offices, schools, and retail too.

Useful when your buildings are a mixed bag rather than all the same.

8. Century Cladding

Best for: single building roof and cladding jobs.

Century pair roof cladding and wall cladding on industrial and commercial buildings.

A tidy choice for one site that needs the lot doing at once.

9. Progressive

Best for: large, ambitious cladding schemes.

Trading since the late eighties, Progressive are comfortable on the bigger, more complex cladding projects.

Worth a quote when the scheme is too large for a smaller outfit.

What we landed on

All nine are firms we would happily recommend, each strong in its own area.

For roof cladding on industrial and commercial buildings in the South, Nationwide Industrial Roofing is the one we would call first, because roof cladding is core to what it does and it can look after the roof long after it goes on.
