Skip to content Zinc is the soft grey architectural metal you see on the smartest modern extensions and homes. It weathers to a natural matte patina, shrugs off the weather, and even heals its own light scratches over time. We fit it as standing seam roofs, dormers, bays, and detailing, and it lasts for decades with next to no upkeep. Skilled work from a family firm of roofers since 1969

Zinc’s grey is the whole point, and you get a say in how it starts and how it ages. Here’s the honest difference.
It starts bright and shiny, then weathers to a soft blue-grey matte patina over time. The classic, evolving look.
It comes already aged, in grays from light quartz to dark graphite, so it has the settled, even color from day one.
Zinc’s patina is self-protecting, so light scratches and scuffs blend back in and weather over rather than staying as marks.
From a full zinc roof to a single zinc dormer, we form and fit it to last.
Most roof problems start small and quiet, then get expensive. If you have spotted any of these, it is worth getting them looked at before the next downpour.
We come out, get on the roof, and find exactly what is wrong.
You get a clear, itemised price. No call-out charge, no pressure.
Our own crew carries out the work, tidily and on the agreed date.
We show you what we did and stand over the work.
We look at the building, talk through the system and the finish (natural or pre-weathered), and how the zinc will age
A clear written price covering the zinc, the ventilated buildup underneath, and the detailing. No vague estimates.
We build the ventilated structure, then form and seam the zinc on site, allowing for how the metal moves.
We detail the junctions, flashings and edges; clear the site; and leave you the paperwork and workmanship cover
A few recent repairs around Dublin. Real jobs, real homes.
Zinc is a premium roof, dearer than tile or felt but generally kinder on the budget than copper, and it earns its keep with a long life and almost no maintenance. What moves the price is the finish (natural or pre-weathered), the system, the size and complexity of the roof, whether there are curves or tricky junctions, the ventilated build-up underneath, and the access. Use the calculator for a guide, then book a free survey, and we’ll put a fixed price in writing.

Natural zinc starts bright, then settles to a soft blue-grey matte patina over a few years. If you want that aged grey from the start, pre-weathered zinc comes ready in shades from light quartz to dark graphite.
To a point, yes. Zinc forms a protective patina on the surface, so light scratches and scuffs gradually weather in and blend back rather than standing out. It’s part of why zinc keeps looking well with almost no upkeep.
Zinc has to breathe on the underside. If moisture gets trapped behind it, it can corrode from below, so we lay it over a properly ventilated structure. Done right, that’s what makes a zinc roof last.
Usually, yes. Zinc gives you a premium architectural metal and a long life, generally for less than copper, which is why it’s the most popular choice for modern Irish roofs.
