Copper costs more than any common roofing metal, and it repays that over a lifetime. Cheaper roofs get replaced twice while a copper roof keeps going. Here is what the money buys.
Copper roofs run for eighty years and more, often outlasting the building’s other parts. Fitted once and fitted right, it simply keeps going.
No coatings, no repainting, no treatments through its whole life. The surface protects itself, which means decades of owning it without spending on it.
Copper works soft under hand tools, so it follows curves, turrets, bays, and finials. The detail work other roofing materials refuse, copper takes.
From a full copper roof to a single entrance canopy, we form and fit every piece by hand. Copper suits whole roofs and small details alike, and the hand-working is what makes it last. Every copper job can cover:
Copper is priced as a premium metal and worked by hand, so every job gets a written fixed price, with workmanship cover behind it. Once fitted properly, copper needs almost nothing from you for decades.
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.
Copper never stays one colour, and that slow change is exactly why people choose it. Here is what to expect.
Fresh copper goes on shiny and warm, like a new cent coin, and starts changing within the first weeks.
The shine settles into a deep chestnut brown over the first year or two, calm and easy on period buildings.
The famous soft green arrives slowly over fifteen to twenty-five years, faster near the coast, the roof in our photo.
Lacquered finish holds the bright look longer, and pre-weathered copper starts brown or green from day one.
A few recent repairs around Dublin. Real jobs, real homes.
Copper is the dearest of the common roofing metals, and its price moves with the metals market. Cost comes down to a few things. The system, since shingles are kinder on the budget than full sheet or standing seam.
Then roof size, detailing, curves, and access. The good news is a copper bay or canopy gives the look for a fraction of a full roof. See our copper cost guide, then book a free survey for a fixed written price.

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.
