Static Caravan Roofing Sheets
Static caravan roofing sheets give an ageing roof a new steel covering. The original roof covering on a static caravan has a finite life, and replacing it like for like is not always the most sensible option. A steel over-roof is fixed rather than bonded, and the steel sheet itself is the weatherproof layer.
Because the sheets are cut to length, they can run the full width of the roof on a typical static caravan. That removes horizontal laps, which helps on a roof that is already low-pitched.
Over-roofing means fitting the new sheets over the existing roof, so the old covering does not need to be stripped off first. It suits a static caravan roof that is still sound, and it is a practical alternative to a full static caravan roof replacement when the structure underneath is in good order. If the roof is damaged or weak in places, those areas should be repaired before any new sheets go on.
Our caravan roof sheets are made from steel with a plastisol finish and are available in 16 colours. They are cut to length, so you can order sheets to suit your caravan’s roof rather than working around standard sizes. When you get in touch, have your roof length and width to hand, along with a note of what the current covering is, and we can help you work out what you need.
Weight and structure
A caravan roof was not designed to carry a heavy covering, and a steel over-roof is usually framed off the existing structure rather than laid directly on it. Before committing, have someone competent confirm the chassis and walls can take the additional load and the fixing arrangement.
This is the part worth getting right. We can advise on the sheets; the structure is a matter for whoever is doing the installation.
Condensation and warmth
A static caravan is heated, occupied and thinly built, which makes it a strong candidate for insulated panels rather than a single steel skin. An insulated over-roof addresses heat loss and condensation at the same time.
Where a single skin is used, anti-condensation sheets are advisable given how close the roof sits to the living space.
Colour and appearance
Park sites often have rules about how a home should look, so it is worth checking these before you order rather than after. Our 16 colours include the greys, greens and creams that site owners commonly accept, and the plastisol finish holds its colour well outdoors.
The same approach suits any building where the existing covering is sound enough to stay in place. See roof over-cladding explained for how it compares with a full strip and re-roof.
Replacing a static caravan roof with steel roofing sheets
When a static caravan roof has reached the end of its life, there are two main routes. You can strip the old covering and replace it, or fit new roofing sheets over the top. Over-roofing leaves the existing roof in place, which means there is no need to remove it first.
Over-roofing only suits a roof that is sound enough to stay where it is. Before ordering static caravan roof sheets, check the existing covering and the structure beneath it. Any damaged or weak areas should be put right first, because the new sheets will rely on what is underneath them.
Our caravan roofing sheets are steel with a plastisol finish, available in 16 colours. Choose the colour before you order, particularly if your park has rules on appearance, so the finished roof is one the site will accept.

What Coatings Do We Offer?
We always recommend our PVC Plastisol-coated sheets due to their cost-effectiveness and excellent resistance to abrasion and corrosion. Polyester-coated sheets are also a high-quality, versatile option suitable for both box profile and corrugated roofing sheets. However, care must be taken to avoid scratching during handling and installation.
ROOFING SHEET APPLICATIONS
Multi-Purpose Roofing Sheets For All Applications
There is a large variety of use cases for our metal roofing sheets, and we have an extensive range of styles, sizes and colour combinations to suit each customer's individual needs.
Agriculture
Corrugated metal roofing sheeting is synonymous with farming and traditional barn roofs.
Stables & Field Shelters
Stable roofs are small, so the choice of profile is mostly about appearance and matching what is already on the yard.
Industrial
For unheated storage and distribution space, single skin steel is usually the simplest warehouse roofing.
Garages
A common reason to fit a metal garage roof is to replace corrugated cement sheet that has reached the end of its life.
Garden Sheds
Roof or clad your garden shed with corrugated steel sheets cut to size, in galvanised, polyester or plastisol finishes and 16 colours.
Garden Buildings
Garden buildings range from a basic tool store to a fully heated office, and the roof specification should follow how the building is used.
Carports
A carport is the one structure in this range where condensation is rarely the problem.
Lean-tos
Metal lean-to roof sheets have a mono-pitch roof that runs from a wall down to the eaves.
Caravans
Our caravan roof sheets are made from steel with a plastisol finish and are available in 16 colours.
