Industrial Roof Repairs IBR Sheets
Industrial Roof Repairs IBR Sheets are commonly used for Industrial roofing in factories and commercial building due to their durability, affordability, and ability to handle heavy rainwater runoff. These sheets are often made from steel or aluminium and are designed with ribs that provide structural strength. However, over time, IBR sheets can suffer from wear and tear due to exposure to the elements, heavy foot traffic, or impact damage. Proper repairs and maintenance are essential to ensure the longevity of the roof and protect the building from leaks, water damage and other issues.
Common Issues with IBR Sheets in Factory Roofs:
1.Leaks and Water Damage:
Over time, IBR sheets may develop leaks due to rusting, corrosion, or damage from fallen debris. If left untreated, these leaks can lead to extensive water damage inside the factory, affecting equipment, inventory, and infrastructure
2. Rust and Corrosions
Metal IBR sheets are susceptible to rust and corrosion, particularly in areas with high humidity or exposure to chemicals. Rust weakens the material, which may lead to holes or structural failure.
3. Poor Waterproofing of Joints, Valleys & Flushing
The areas where the IBR sheets join / overlap (known as laps) and at the valleys and flashings the waterproofing can wear out, resulting in gaps that allow water to enter. These joints need to be properly sealed to prevent leaks.
4. Expansion and Contraction
IBR sheets expand and contract with temperature fluctuations. Over time, this constant movement can cause fasteners to loosen, leading to potential gaps that allow water to seep through.
The PROCESS - Important Information upfront Industrial Roof Repairs IBR Sheets
Roof Inspection
Before repairs are carried out, a professional roof inspection is essential to identify all areas of damage, such as cracks, rust spots, or fastener issues. A thorough inspection also helps detect hidden leaks in the roof structure that might not be immediately visible.
The Quotation
After an inspection of the roof has been done by one of our Project Managers you will be supplied with
1) Roofing Report
2) Scope of Work
3) Quotation
4) Contract
Commencement
After all the necessary paperwork and payments have been completed, we will schedule the roofing project based on your preferred start date and our team’s availability. We’ll confirm the timeline for the project, ensuring it fits within your business operations and minimizes disruption to your daily activities.
Preparation of SHE Documents
The health and safety of both our team and your property are top priorities at HMC Works. Our Health and Safety Officer will prepare all necessary SHE (Safety, Health, and Environmental) documents required for the project.
This includes risk assessments, safety protocols, and environmental considerations to ensure the work is carried out safely and in compliance with relevant regulations.
Health and Safety Compliance
Risk Assessment: Prior to beginning work, a detailed risk assessment will be conducted to identify any potential hazards and implement measures to mitigate these risks. This ensures that all safety standards are adhered to throughout the project.
Safety Protocols: Our team is trained in industry-standard health and safety procedures. From the use of proper safety gear to ensuring a safe working environment, we follow strict protocols to protect everyone involved
Safety First

Clear Communication
You will be kept informed about the project schedule, any necessary preparations, and the health and safety measures in place. We believe in transparent communication, so you’ll always know what to expect before, during, and after the project.
The PROCESS - Waterproofing of IBR Roofs Industrial Roof Repairs IBR Sheets
Roof Screws & Washer
Check and Secure all Fasteners (screws or bolts) that have become loose due to thermal expansion and contraction or wear-and-tear are tightened or replaced. This ensures the IBR sheets remain securely attached to the roof and prevents further movement or shifting. Waterproof all roof screws
Rust Treatment
Metal roofs, particularly IBR sheets, are prone to rust and corrosion. A rust treatment process involves cleaning the surface, removing rust, and applying an anti-corrosion primer. Afterward, a protective topcoat (like a waterproof sealant) is applied to prevent further corrosion and to prolong the lifespan of the roof.
Joints, Valleys and Flushing
In industrial roofing, ensuring that vulnerable areas like the ridge, joints, valley, and flashings are properly sealed is essential for preventing leaks and maintaining the structural integrity of the roof. These areas are particularly susceptible to water ingress due to their exposed nature and the potential for wear over time.
Why its imporant to Paint your IBR Roof after WATERPROOFING
Waterproofing and painting are both critical steps in maintaining the integrity and longevity of your IBR (Industrial Bold Ribbed) roof. While waterproofing is essential for preventing water ingress, painting your roof afterward offers several additional benefits that enhance the effectiveness of your waterproofing efforts and provide long-term protection for the roof. At HMC Works, we offer comprehensive roofing services, including waterproofing and roof painting, to protect and extend the life of your industrial roof. Contact us for expert advice and services on keeping your IBR roof in top condition.
While waterproofing provides a solid foundation for protecting your IBR roof from water damage, painting the roof afterward adds an additional layer of protection and offers several long-term benefits. It enhances the waterproofing performance, prevents corrosion, improves energy efficiency, and restores the roof’s appearance. It’s a crucial final step that helps maintain the roof’s integrity, performance, and aesthetic appeal, ensuring that your building is safeguarded for years to come.
Benefits of Waterproofing Roof Screws, Washers & Bolts
Waterproofing the roof screws, washers, and bolts with liquid plastic and membrane is a highly effective method to ensure the long-term performance of your industrial roof.
It protects against leaks, corrosion, and potential damage, ultimately preserving the integrity of the roof and preventing costly repairs in the future. Whether you’re dealing with a small commercial building or a large factory, this waterproofing solution ensures that your roof is sealed and secure for years to come.

Trust Treatment for IBR Roofs
IBR (Industrial Bold Ribbed) metal roofing is durable and commonly used in industrial buildings, but it’s susceptible to rust, especially in environments where it’s exposed to moisture, humidity, and fluctuating temperatures.
Over time, rust can weaken the integrity of your roof, cause leaks, and shorten its lifespan. Proper rust treatment is essential to prevent these issues and extend the life of your roof.
At HMC Works, we provide professional rust treatment services to protect your IBR roof and ensure it continues to perform well under harsh condition
Waterproofing Ridge, Joints, Valleys and Flashing on IBR Roofs
In industrial roofing, ensuring that vulnerable areas like the ridge, joints, valley, and flashings are properly sealed is essential for preventing leaks and maintaining the structural integrity of the roof.
These areas are particularly susceptible to water ingress due to their exposed nature and the potential for wear over time.
At HMC Works, we specialize in waterproofing these critical points on IBR (Industrial Bold Ribbed) roofing systems to ensure your building remains protected from the elements.
The Ridge
The ridge is the highest point of the roof where two sections of the roof meet. It is a prime area for leaks if not properly sealed because water can easily flow through gaps or damaged materials.
Waterproofing: We apply liquid sealants and weather-resistant coatings to the ridge area, ensuring that no water can penetrate the joint where the two roof sections meet
Benefits: This prevents water from pooling at the ridge and prevents leaks into the building’s interior.
The Joint between IBR sheets
The joints or laps between IBR sheets are potential weak points for water infiltration, especially if the screws or fasteners have loosened or if the sealing has deteriorated over time.
Waterproofing: These joints are resealed with high-quality roofing sealants or reinforced with waterproof membranes. In some cases, a liquid plastic coating is applied to provide an extra layer of protection.
Benefits: Sealing these joints ensures that water cannot seep through and compromise the integrity of the roof structure
Valleys
The valley is where two roof slopes meet and direct rainwater away from the building. Over time, valleys can become clogged with debris, or the flashing can deteriorate, leading to leaks.
Waterproofing: : We clean and treat valleys with appropriate sealants, ensuring that water flows freely and is properly directed away from the building
Benefits: Properly sealed valleys prevent water from pooling and reduce the risk of water damage to the building’s interior
