🏭 ROOFING TIP: A LEAK DOESN’T ALWAYS START WHERE YOU SEE THE WATER

One of the most common misconceptions with industrial roofs is that the leak must be directly above where water appears inside the building.

In reality, water can travel along roof sheets, purlins and insulation before eventually finding its way inside.

Common causes include:

🔹 Failed or loose fixings
🔹 Cracked or damaged rooflights
🔹 Deteriorated sealants and laps
🔹 Blocked or overflowing gutters
🔹 Damaged flashings
🔹 Ageing roof sheets

That’s why simply sealing the area directly above a leak doesn’t always solve the problem.

Finding the actual source is the important part.

At M&C McLean, we inspect industrial and agricultural roofing systems to identify the cause before recommending the correct repair.

A proper diagnosis can save a lot of unnecessary work — and money.

⚠️ DO YOU HAVE AN OLD ASBESTOS CEMENT ROOF?

Many industrial and agricultural buildings across Scotland still have asbestos cement roofing — and as these roofs age, deterioration, cracking and leaks can become increasingly common.

At M&C McLean, we provide a complete solution for asbestos cement roof replacement:

• Safe removal of existing asbestos cement sheets
• Licensed disposal through approved waste routes
• New fibre cement or steel roofing systems
• Rooflights, flashings and guttering
• Full safety systems throughout the works
• Minimal disruption to your operations

If you’re unsure about the condition of your existing roof, we can also carry out a FREE roof survey and condition report to help identify any areas requiring attention.

🔧 Loose or failing fixings
💧 Blocked or damaged gutters
🏭 Damaged roof sheets and flashings
⚠️ Cut-edge corrosion
☀️ Cracked or deteriorating rooflights

🏭 WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU ACTUALLY LOOKED AT YOUR ROOF?

Most industrial and agricultural roofs don’t suddenly fail overnight.

The warning signs are usually there first:

🔹 Loose or failing fixings
🔹 Cracked or damaged roof sheets
🔹 Blocked gutters
🔹 Cut-edge corrosion
🔹 Damaged rooflights
🔹 Failed flashings
🔹 Small leaks that eventually become big ones

At M&C McLean, we’d rather help clients identify these problems early — before they turn into expensive emergency repairs.

We provide roof inspections, maintenance, repairs, gutter cleaning, asbestos removal and full roof & wall replacement across Scotland.

CHANGING THE PERCEPTION OF THE ROOFING INDUSTRY

There can sometimes be a perception in our industry that it’s all about winning the order, completing the job and moving onto the next one.

At M&C McLean, we want to do things differently.

For us, it starts with understanding what the client actually needs.

Does the entire roof really need replaced?
Can certain areas be repaired?
Would a maintenance programme extend the life of the existing roof?
Is there a more cost-effective solution available?

We don’t want to recommend £50,000 worth of work when a £10,000 solution genuinely meets the client’s needs.

Our aim is to build long-term relationships, not simply collect orders.

That means providing clear information, discussing the available options and giving our clients an honest recommendation based on the condition of their building, their requirements and their budget.

Sometimes that might mean a full replacement.

Sometimes it might mean a repair, gutter lining, maintenance or simply keeping an eye on something for the future.

We want our clients to know exactly what they’re paying for — and why.

That’s the reputation we want M&C McLean to build.

Client first. Solution second. Order third.
