Many steel frame buildings across the UK were constructed decades ago and, while the frames themselves remain structurally sound, the cladding, insulation, and associated building fabric can fall well short of what is required today. Revivelogix carries out full and partial refurbishments of existing steel frame buildings, bringing them up to current standards without the cost and disruption of demolition and rebuild. To discuss your building, call us on 01332 926715 or email sales@revivelogix.com.
Steel Building Refurbishment UK
Refurbishing an existing steel frame building is often significantly more cost effective than relocating or rebuilding. We assess the condition of existing structures and design a programme of works to extend their service life, improve their performance, and bring them up to current standards. An increasing number of businesses are using refurbishment as an opportunity to improve the energy performance of their building. Upgrading roof and wall insulation, replacing single skin cladding with insulated composite panels, and improving airtightness can all contribute to a better EPC rating and meaningful reductions in energy costs. Whether you have a single building or a portfolio of sites, we can provide a straightforward condition assessment and a clear programme of works.
Improving Your Building’s EPC Rating
If you are looking to refinance or sell an industrial or commercial property, the building’s EPC rating is increasingly important. Lenders and buyers pay close attention to energy performance certificates, and a poor rating can affect your ability to secure finance or achieve the value you are looking for. Under the Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards regulations, commercial properties must meet minimum EPC requirements, and those requirements are expected to tighten further in the coming years. A structural refurbishment that includes insulation upgrades, cladding replacement, and improvements to airtightness can significantly improve a building’s EPC rating, making it more attractive to lenders, tenants, and future buyers. If you need to improve your building’s energy rating ahead of a refinance or sale, we can carry out a condition assessment and advise on the most effective works to achieve the improvement you need.
Cladding Replacement and Repairs
Cladding is often the first element to show signs of deterioration, and damaged or failing cladding can lead to water ingress, heat loss, and compliance issues if left unaddressed. We carry out both partial cladding repairs and full cladding replacement, working on roof sheets, wall panels, flashings, and associated components. All replacement cladding is specified to suit the existing building and the requirements of the occupier.
Structural Repairs
Steel frames are robust, but they can suffer damage from vehicle impact, corrosion, or changes in loading over time. We carry out structural repairs including column repairs, beam replacements, and localised remedial works. All structural repairs are assessed and designed to restore the integrity of the frame and meet current structural requirements.
Safety Lines and Roof Access
A refurbishment is the right time to address safe access for any future work on the building. We design and install roof safety line systems and fall arrest anchors to ensure that future inspection or maintenance work can be carried out safely and in compliance with working at height regulations. Installing a safety line system during a refurbishment avoids the need to mobilise separately later and ensures your building is set up correctly from the outset.
