Metal and Zinc Roofing in Sussex

Mascot Roofing provides specialist metal roofing and cladding for homes, commercial buildings and architectural projects across Sussex and the wider South East. Our work includes standing-seam zinc and copper, aluminium, coated steel, stainless steel, leadwork, dormer cladding and bespoke rainwater details.

Metal roofing combines a distinctive appearance with the ability to form complex roof shapes and carefully detailed junctions. Successful installation depends on the supporting build-up, ventilation, movement allowance, fixing method and the experience of the installer.

Metal-roofing services

Standing-seam zinc roofing and cladding

Standing-seam zinc can be used for roofs, walls, dormers, fascias and other architectural details. It is particularly well suited to curved, low-pitched and visually prominent areas where clean lines and carefully formed details are important.

Copper roofing

Copper is a traditional roofing and cladding material that changes naturally as it weathers. It can be formed for standing seams, flashings, cappings and bespoke details, making it useful on both contemporary and heritage-style projects.

Aluminium and coated steel

Aluminium and coated steel systems offer a choice of colours and finishes while remaining comparatively lightweight. Product selection should account for the roof build-up, environment, required appearance and detailing.

Stainless steel

Stainless steel can be used where strength, durability and a precise metal finish are required. As with other sheet-metal systems, specification and installation details should be agreed for the individual project.

Lead roofing and weathering details

Lead remains an important material for roofs, valleys, flashings, abutments and complex weathering details. Correct sizing, forming and allowance for thermal movement are essential.

Dormers, loft conversions and wall cladding

Metal cladding can provide a durable, low-maintenance finish to dormers, roof extensions and wall areas. It can also help create a consistent appearance across new roof elements and adjoining elevations.

Bespoke rainwater systems

We can incorporate metal gutters, outlets, cappings and related rainwater details into the overall roof design. Drainage capacity, falls and discharge points should be considered early in the project.

Warm and cold metal-roof build-ups

The metal sheet is only one part of the roof. Insulation position, ventilation, vapour control, substrate and underlay all affect performance. A warm-roof or cold-roof arrangement should be selected and detailed according to the building design and relevant project requirements.

For refurbishment work, the existing structure and build-up need to be understood before a new covering is specified. Trapped moisture or inadequate ventilation should not simply be concealed beneath a new finish.

Repairs and refurbishment

Leaks around seams, flashings, penetrations, outlets or interfaces with other materials require careful investigation. Local repairs may be possible, but the surrounding installation and compatibility of any replacement material should be considered.

Where a metal roof has widespread defects or unsuitable historic detailing, we can discuss a more comprehensive refurbishment approach.

Our approach

1. Project review: we discuss the roof shape, material preference, location and programme.
2. Inspection or drawing review: we assess existing conditions or proposed construction details.
3. Material and build-up advice: suitable metals, finishes and roof arrangements are considered.
4. Clear quotation: the proposed scope is documented before work begins.
5. Skilled fabrication and installation: sheets and details are formed and installed for the individual roof.

Metal-roofing questions

Which metal is best for a roof?

The answer depends on appearance, location, roof geometry, build-up and budget. Zinc, copper, aluminium and steel each have different characteristics, and we can discuss suitable options for the project.

Can metal be used on a dormer or loft conversion?

Yes. Standing-seam and other metal cladding systems are commonly used on dormers and roof extensions, subject to the design and substrate.

Do you install both roofing and cladding?

Yes. Our metal work includes roof coverings, wall and dormer cladding, fascias, soffits and associated weathering details.
