Metal Roof Maintenance, Repair & Modification

If correctly installed, a metal roof can last anywhere from 50-100 years, depending on the material and location.

At Metal Roofing UK, we stand by the quality of our workmanship and materials by offering a 10-year guarantee on all of our metal roofing, cladding and guttering. Depending on the materials you have chosen, many metal roof types come with extended manufacturers’ guarantees as well.

Metal roofs don’t require much maintenance at all. Metal roofing is incredibly durable and corrosion-resistant. Some metals are even self-healing and antimicrobial, preventing organic growth. Aesthetically, most metal roofs are actually designed to weather and this is part of their charm, and some metals like zinc form a protective patina over time.

To take care of your metal roof, there are a few basic things you can do. We recommend regularly clearing gutters to ensure there are no blockages and water drains off your roof properly. It’s also good practice to inspect and clear away any debris or organic matter like leaves or fruit from your roof. Try to minimise any contact with your roof. For example, cut tree branches back to prevent scratching or damage, keep other metal items away from your roof as some may interact, and avoid people walking on your metal roof as much as possible to prevent dents.

In the unfortunate event that your roof gets damaged, metal roofs can be repaired by trained specialists. The expert team at Metal Roofing are here to help, from panel replacement to dent repairs or complete new roof installation, give us a call today to discuss your roof repair needs.
