Skip to content Copper is the premium roofing metal, the one that turns heads. It starts bright and warm, then weathers over the years to that famous green patina, a protective layer that also happens to look stunning. We use it on feature roofs, bays, canopies, and detailing, and it lasts for generations. Skilled work from a family firm of roofers since 1969.

The big thing to know about copper is that it changes. That’s not a flaw; it’s the whole appeal, and you get a say in how it ages.
Fresh copper is a warm, rose-gold metal that catches the light. A real statement from the day it goes on.
Over the years it weathers through brown to the famous green, a patina, a layer that forms on the surface and protects the metal underneath.
Prefer the shine? A clear lacquer holds the bright color, or pre-weathered copper gives the settled look from the start.
From a full copper roof to a single copper canopy, we form and fit it by hand.
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, lacquered, or pre-weathered), and discuss how it’ll age.
A clear written price covering the copper, the build-up underneath, and the detailing. No vague estimates.
We form, seam, and fix the copper by hand, allowing for how the metal moves, so the finish is clean and watertight.
We detail the junctions, flashings, and edges; clear the site; and leave you the paperwork and workmanship cover.

Copper is the dearest of the common roofing metals, and the copper price itself moves with the metals market. What drives the cost is the system (shingles are more kind on the budget than full sheet or standing seam), the size and complexity of the roof, the detailing and curves, and the access. The good news: copper detailing, or a copper bay or canopy, gives you the look for a fraction of a full roof. See our copper cost guide, then book a free survey for a fixed price in writing.

No call-out charge, no obligation. We’ll tell you honestly whether it needs repairing or replacing.
As copper weathers, it reacts with the air to form a patina, a thin protective layer on the surface. It moves from bright, through brown, to the green you see on old churches and landmark roofs. The patina shields the copper underneath, which is part of why it lasts so long.
Yes. A clear lacquer holds the bright color for longer, though it needs redoing over time. If you want a settled look without the wait or the green, ask us about pre-weathered copper, which arrives already aged.
Copper is the most expensive of the common roofing metals, but it lasts for generations with almost no maintenance, so on the right building, it earns it. If a full copper roof is too much, copper detailing or a copper bay or canopy gives you the look for far less.
Changing the look of a roof, especially to something as distinctive as copper, can need permission, particularly if it’s visible from the road or the house is a protected structure or in a conservation area. We’ll advise and check before you commit.
