Why Metal Roofing Metal roofing has emerged as a premium choice for both modern and traditional buildings due to its durability, performance, and aesthetic versatility. Zinc and copper roofing systems offer unique advantages: Longevity Metal roofs last significantly longer than traditional roofing materials. Copper and zinc systems can exceed a service life of 80–100 years when properly installed and maintained. Low Maintenance Unlike other materials that deteriorate through weathering, metal roofing is inherently resilient. It resists rot, insect damage, and the effects of water ingress. Weather Performance Metal roofing performs exceptionally well in varied UK weather conditions. It can withstand high winds, driving rain, and rapid temperature changes while effectively shedding water and snow. Aesthetic Versatility Metal roofing provides a range of design options. Natural patinas on copper and zinc offer distinctive visual appeal that evolves over time, enhancing the character of the building. Sustainability Metal roofing is fully recyclable at the end of its service life. Moreover, its longevity reduces replacement frequency, contributing to reduced environmental impact. Our Specialisations Zinc Roofing Systems Zinc is a premium roofing material known for its sleek appearance, corrosion resistance, and self-healing patina. We specialise in zinc roofing solutions for: Standing seam roofs Architectural metal roofing Custom flashings and detailing Roof refurbishments and heritage restorations Zinc naturally forms a protective layer that enhances its durability and longevity. Our team is adept at precision fabrication and installation, ensuring seamless integration with structural design, roof penetrations, and drainage systems. Copper Roofing Copper roofing has been used historically on landmark buildings throughout the UK and Europe due to its durability and distinctive aesthetics. Over time, copper develops a natural patina that enriches its appearance.
