Metal roof installation for improved energy efficiency

Metal roof installation for improved energy efficiency

Metal roof installation for improved energy efficiency

The homeowner wanted to upgrade from an ageing tiled roof to a modern, energy-efficient solution that would improve thermal performance and reduce long-term running costs. After reviewing suitable options, a standing seam metal roof was installed, enhancing the property’s appearance while significantly improving energy efficiency.

What we did

From removing the existing roof covering to installing the final panel, the focus was on performance, durability, and clean design.

Roof tear-off and preparation

Careful preparation ensured long-term performance.

  • Removed existing roof tiles and underlay

  • Installed a thermal barrier to reduce heat transfer

  • Repaired minor timber deterioration at the eaves

  • Prepared the roof deck for metal panel installation

Metal roof installation

A modern roofing system installed with precision.

  • Installed standing seam metal roofing panels

  • Used concealed fixings for a clean, modern appearance

  • Installed custom-formed flashings and snow retention guards

  • Added ridge ventilation and sealed all joints for long-term protection

Challenges we faced

As with many refurbishment projects, a few challenges required careful planning.

  • Uneven roof decking from previous works required levelling

  • Original colour choice was unavailable, requiring a locally sourced alternative

  • Nearby trees required additional protection during installation

Why this project stands out

This project delivered both performance and visual impact.

  • Combined thermal barrier and metal roofing significantly improved energy efficiency

  • Snow retention and upgraded ridge ventilation ensured year-round performance

  • The new roof enhanced the property’s appearance and increased overall value

Final result

The property now benefits from a durable, low-maintenance metal roof designed to perform reliably for decades in varying UK weather conditions.

The house is noticeably more comfortable, quieter during heavy rain, and the installation was handled professionally from start to finish. We’ve had nothing but positive feedback since.
