Copper Roofing and Cladding in Sussex

Mascot Roofing installs copper roofing, cladding and bespoke weathering details across Sussex and the wider South East. Copper can be formed into standing-seam roofs, wall cladding, cappings, flashings and architectural features.

New copper has a bright finish that changes naturally as the surface weathers. This evolving appearance is part of the material’s character and should be considered alongside adjacent materials and rainwater run-off.

Copper applications

Copper can be used on roofs, dormers, façades, canopies, bays, gutters, outlets and bespoke details. Its workability makes it particularly useful for complex shapes and carefully formed junctions.

Design and installation considerations

Copper expands and contracts with temperature, so sheet sizes, seams, clips and interfaces must allow controlled movement.

• A suitable fully supported substrate and separation layer.
• Tray sizes and fixing details appropriate to roof geometry.
• Allowance for thermal movement and drainage.
• Compatibility with adjoining metals and materials.

Repairs and refurbishment

Damage, failed seams and unsuitable interfaces should be assessed before repair. Introducing incompatible metals can create accelerated corrosion, so replacement components need careful material selection.

Local repairs may be possible, but widespread defects in tray layout or the supporting build-up may justify more extensive renewal.

Our approach

1. Review the project location, roof geometry, drawings and finish.
2. Assess the supporting build-up and adjoining materials.
3. Discuss suitable products and construction details.
4. Provide a clear quotation for the agreed work.
5. Fabricate and install the metal with careful seams and interfaces.

copper roofing questions

Does copper stay bright?

No. Uncoated copper naturally changes colour as it weathers and develops a protective surface patina over time.

Can copper touch other metals?

Material compatibility and water run-off paths must be considered because some metal combinations can cause corrosion.
