Ordering & Customisation

What are your standard sheet lengths?

We manufacture most of our lengths from 800mm to 7000mm. Individual product pages have specific minimum and maximum lengths.

What is the cover width of each sheet?

Cover widths vary by profile. Our 32/1000 box profile provides 1000mm of coverage, while our corrugated sheets provide 990mm. Each product page will provide the product specific cover width.

Are you prices inclusive of VAT?

We serve both trade professionals and retail customers, so to make it easy we’ve included a VAT toggle at the top of our site so you can see prices both including and excluding VAT, depending on your requirements.

Do you supply custom flashings?

Yes! While our standard flashings and gutters are manufactured in 3m lengths, we can fabricate bespoke trims & flashings based on your specific requirements. Just give us a call on 01278 557 002 or email info@colourcladprofiles.com.

Do you keep purlins in stock?

We manufacture our Z & C sections to order to make sure you get a perfect fit for your requirements.

Materials, Finishes & Anti-Con

How do I control condensation?

On our single-skin sheets, you have the option to apply an Anti-Con liner rolled onto the reserve side. This is a fleece membrane that absorbs moisture and allows it to wick away naturally through ventilation. You can find out more here.

Can you apply Anti-Con retrospectively?

No. It must be heat bonded to the steel during the manufacturing process, and cannot be applied once the sheets have been rolled or installed.

What if I scratch the coating?

We can supply touch-up paint to cover any scratches. If your project is in a high-traffic area, we recommend selecting the PVC plastisol/ leathergrain finish as it is significantly more durable and scratch-resistant than a standard polyester finish.

What colours are available?

We have a huge range of colours depending on the coating type. The individual product pages will show the available colours.

Technical & Installation

How many screws will I need?

For steel roofing, use the following formula: Total x 3, then round up to the nearest 100.

For an itemised fixings list, use our roofing calculator.

How many foam fillers do I need?

Generally, one pair of fillers is required per roof sheet (one for the ridge, one for the eaves). If you have Anti-Con, we recommend not using foam fillers in order to give the space adequate ventilation to dry out the fleece.

Can I cut my own sheets and flashings?

Yes, but use cold cutting methods only. We recommend a “nibbler” or professional tin snips. Never use an angle grinder, as the heat will destroy the protective coating and cause the steel to rust prematurely.

Do you provide an installation service?

Unfortunately not, we are fabricators and suppliers only.

Delivery & Collection

What are your lead times?

Lead times depend on the product type and your location. Single-skin sheets typically take 7–15 working days. You will see an estimated delivery window in your basket and on your order confirmation.

Do I need to be available for delivery?

Yes. Our deliveries are kerbside only. For bulky items like cladding or purlins, at least one person must be available to assist the driver with offloading.

Can I collect my order?

Of course! You can collect your goods from our yard in Somerset. All of the details are on our Click & Collect page.
