Metal and standing seam roofing in Hayes
Standing seam metal looks sharp on a modern extension or dormer, and it lasts. But it shows every mistake. A seam out of line or a sloppy edge is obvious from the garden, so the planning matters as much as the fitting.
Worth a look if you notice
Where a metal roof makes sense
It suits some roofs brilliantly and others not at all. These are the usual reasons people ask us about it.
- A new extension or dormer with a modern look
- A low-pitch roof that is too shallow for tiles
- An existing metal roof with a damaged seam or sheet
- Flashings or edge trims that have come loose
- Condensation under a metal roof
- Matching a new roof to metal cladding
What the job involves
How we fit a standing seam metal roof
We set out the whole roof before the first sheet goes up, so the seams line up and the edges finish neatly.
Laying out
Sheet widths, fixings and seam positions planned so it looks right from the ground.
Edges and openings
Eaves, verges, ridges and anything coming through the roof, detailed to match.
How we go about it
A neat metal roof starts with careful prep
Metal expands and contracts with the temperature, and it needs air moving under it to stop condensation. We plan for both, not just for how it looks on day one.
- We find where the water gets in, not just where it shows
- You get the price in writing before anyone starts

FAQ
Metal roofing in Hayes: common questions
What types of metal roof do you fit?
Mostly standing seam, plus profiled sheet on outbuildings. They look different and go on differently. We will show you both.
Is a metal roof noisy in the rain?
Much less than people expect. With insulation and a solid deck underneath, it is usually no louder than a tiled roof.
Can a metal roof be repaired?
Often, yes. It depends on the metal, the coating and where the damage is.
Is metal good for an extension?
For many modern extensions, very. It works at low pitches where tiles would not.
