Zinc & Metal Roofers

Zinc roofing can have a long service life and is one of the more durable metal roofing options available. It has been used as a roofing material for many years and can provide a distinctive finish while helping to protect the building beneath. Zinc is available in a natural finish as well as a range of textured finishes. It can also be shaped to follow curves and angles, making it suitable for both roofing and cladding applications.

Zinc is resistant to corrosion and can perform well in a range of weather conditions. With suitable installation and maintenance, a zinc roof can remain in use for many decades. Although the initial cost may be higher than some other roofing materials, its long service life can make it a cost-effective option over time. Zinc is also recyclable, which may appeal to homeowners looking for a metal roofing material with good end-of-life recovery potential.

Metal Roofing Benefits

Metal roofing can offer a number of benefits. It is generally lighter than many traditional roof coverings and can often be installed relatively quickly. The overall performance will depend on the roof design, insulation, underlay and the type of metal used.

Metal roofing can also be suitable for a wide range of roof shapes and pitches. However, replacing a damaged metal sheet may involve more work than replacing an individual roof tile. Metal roofs can also cost more upfront than some conventional roofing materials, although their durability and service life may help offset the initial cost over time. Metal roof installation will usually require a roofer and is not generally considered a DIY job.

Cost of Metal Roofing Installed

The cost of metal roofing will vary depending on the material, roof size, design and installation requirements. Roofer labour rates may range from around £15-£30 per hour, while stainless steel or aluminium sheeting can cost around £40-£75 per square metre. Zinc or copper roofing may cost around £85-£110 per square metre, while galvanised steel prices will depend on the sheet size and specification.

Total project costs will vary depending on the size of the property, the shape and pitch of the roof, access requirements and the type of metal chosen. For a more accurate price, use the "post your job" button on this page to compare quotes from local roofing companies and contractors.
