Project Details
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.
