Zinc’s grey is the whole point of choosing it, and you get a real say in how the roof starts out and how it slowly ages over time.
Starts bright and shiny, then slowly weathers to a soft blue-grey matte finish. The classic look that changes with the years.
Comes already aged, in greys running from light quartz to dark graphite, so the roof has its settled colour from day one.
Zinc’s surface protects itself, so light scratches and scuffs blend back in and weather over time instead of staying as marks.
From a full zinc roof to a single zinc dormer, we form and fit every piece to last. Zinc suits modern builds and period details alike, in natural or pre-weathered finish, worked by our own crew. Each job can cover:
Every roof gets laid over a properly ventilated build-up, so the underside can breathe and the zinc never corrodes from below. You get a clear written fixed price in your hand before any work, with workmanship cover behind it.
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.
Zinc is never the only metal on the shortlist, so here is how it compares against the usual three alternatives.
Zinc gives the same architectural metal finish for less money, in soft grey rather than copper’s brown and green.
Steel sheet costs less on day one. Zinc lasts far longer, needs no repainting, and reads as premium.
Zinc stays watertight on the low pitches and curves where slate and tile cannot go, and weighs less.
Dormers, bays, and modern extensions are where zinc beats everything, one clean grey skin over any roof shape.
A few recent repairs around Dublin. Real jobs, real homes.
Zinc is a premium roof, dearer than tile or felt but kinder on the budget than copper. It earns that back with a long life and almost no maintenance. Price comes down to a few things. The finish, natural or pre-weathered.
The system, roof size, and any curves or tricky junctions. Then the ventilated build-up underneath, and the access. Use the calculator for a guide, then book a free survey for a fixed written price.

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.
