Massey Cladding Solutions Ltd

Commercial Roofs & Cladding Designed, Built & Maintained Throughout the UK

Since we first began trading back in 2008, Massey Cladding Solutions Ltd has delivered countless roofing and cladding projects across the nation. We’ve designed and installed rainscreen façades for prominent properties such as One, Portwall SQ in the heart of Bristol’s commercial district, and Exeter’s St. Sidwell’s Point, the UK’s first Passivhaus leisure centre. Likewise, we’ve meticulously developed commercial flat roofing systems for a truly wide array of properties in locations such as Cardiff and Oxford. With the latest advancements in safety at the heart of what we do, we ensure regulatory compliance specific to individual industries and sectors.

As a trusted roofing and cladding subcontractor, we collaborate with main contractors and architects across the UK, tailoring our approach to each project. Whether you wish for a fully managed service taking in design, product spec and procurement, testing and surveying, construction, and quality assurance, or need us to work as part of a wider team in a more limited capacity, we’re enthusiastic and committed to going the extra mile.

In-house Design Team

Successful roofing and cladding projects inevitably begin with an in-depth design process. That’s why we’ve invested in our in-house design team, who use Revit to ensure all projects are delivered in line with ISO19650 guidance. They take an attentive, thorough approach to this essential first step in your project, working to your brief and the property’s specifications to anticipate any potential challenges, such as difficult interfaces or non-standard details. This is supported by detailed engineering to substantiate the design, ensuring it’s fit for purpose.

You can expect our design coordinators to be involved at any point from the conception of the project to advanced stages of the pre-construction phase, analysing and interpreting designs to ensure all angles are considered. By thinking two steps ahead, we identify solutions to roofing and cladding hurdles that might otherwise slow down, or even threaten to halt your project altogether.

Commercial Roofing Solutions

While cladding is in our name, we’re equally capable of delivering commercial roofing solutions to meet the unique needs of businesses up and down the country, not just in prominent service areas like Bristol, Cardiff, Exeter and Oxford. We work with a range of different materials to ensure properties of all shapes, sizes and uses benefit from an energy-efficient, durable, low maintenance and aesthetically pleasing covering.

These include:

Composite Panels
Metal Profiled Roofing
Cold Applied Roofing
Hot Melt Roofing
Single-ply Roofing
Standing Seam Systems

Exterior Cladding Options

Rainscreen Facades

Rainscreen facades are an innovative and lightweight cladding solution designed to enhance both the visual appeal and performance of a building. Unlike traditional heavy cladding materials, rainscreens are significantly lighter yet offer a range of aesthetic finishes, from modern metallic designs to classic natural stone, terracotta, or slate.

One of the key benefits of rainscreen cladding is its versatility. Depending on the design requirements, metal finishes can range from ultra-thin panels of less than 1mm to thicker, larger-format sheets. These panels can also be installed in soffit locations, though careful attention must be given to movement, stability, and the supporting framework to ensure structural integrity.

The construction of a rainscreen system varies from simple panel attachments on brick or block structures to more complex, multi-layered installations that enhance thermal efficiency, acoustic insulation, fire resistance, and weather protection. It is crucial to consider the entire wall build-up from the inner plasterboard through to the outer architectural finish. Special attention must also be given to fire performance, particularly when designing for buildings over 18 metres in height.

Other key considerations include:

Selection of vapour barriers and breather membranes based on the structure and performance requirements.
Ensuring proper fixing methods, particularly for non-steel structures, through pull-out tests.
Structural support grids that are adjustable, corrosion-resistant, and capable of withstanding environmental conditions.
Managing cold bridging in steel-framed cavities, which may require more insulation.
Precise quality control of panel finishes to avoid inconsistencies in colour and texture.
Careful detailing at interfaces, particularly around recessed and punched windows, to ensure effective water management.

Hard Metal Cladding Systems

Hard metal cladding offers a durable and visually striking alternative, with materials like aluminium, copper, stainless steel, zinc, lead, tern-coated steel, and brass providing a long-lasting solution with lifespans of up to 80 years. These materials are also 100% recyclable and can achieve an A+ Green Guide rating, making them an environmentally responsible choice.

One of the standout features of hard metal cladding is its adaptability. Our designers can create crisp, geometric shapes or more organic, flowing forms using a combination of mechanical and hand tools. These materials can be shaped to allow for intricate detailing and seamless interfaces. Additionally, secret fixings and double-lock standing seams enhance the overall aesthetic appeal, creating a high-quality, traditional finish. Panels can be installed vertically or horizontally, with a variety of seam types such as standing seams, angled seams, or batten rolls, each offering distinct visual effects.

Important factors to consider include:

Selecting the right metal based on the building’s shape and performance needs.
Ensuring the substructure is appropriate for the chosen metal. For example, zinc requires ventilation to prevent rear-face corrosion.
Managing water runoff to avoid staining on surrounding materials or adjacent landscaping features.
Detailing low-level cladding to minimise hazards from sharp edges, ensuring public safety.
Accounting for wind loads, especially around roof perimeters, where additional fixings may be required.
Addressing potential light reflection issues, particularly with stainless steel and copper, which develop a natural patina over time to reduce glare.

By carefully considering these factors, we ensure hard metal cladding systems offer exceptional design flexibility, longevity, and environmental benefits, tailoring them to modern architectural projects occurring in and around Bristol, Cardiff, Exeter and Oxford.
