About Us
Based in Glasgow, Base Metal Roofing covers Scotland, North England and beyond, working alongside Architects, main contractors, local builders and private clients successfully for over 30 years. The quality of our work is not only down to our service and craftsmanship but also the traditional materials we use.
Our Philosophy
Durability And Longevity
Base metals such as Copper and Zinc have been used successfully in roofing for over 2000 years. Inherent natural properties of base metals form a patina (oxide layer) that protects itself from erosion to external elements. This natural process, together with modern material manufacturing and installation techniques now combine to give a long lasting, low maintenance result. Tried and tested on the most complex roofs which push the boundaries of design or prevailing in extreme locations.
Versatility
Metal can be used for both residential and commercial projects. The same materials can be used on both the roof and outside walls of a building. Material choice and finish is extensive and governed by location, cost, aesthetics or architect. Fitted to roofs with a pitch upwards of 5 degrees, mansards to 90 degrees and soffits to any angle. The metal can be installed to various substrates including timber, metal decking and insulation. Systems of installation include Baton Roll, Standing Seam, Single Lock Welt, Cassette, Shingle & more. All flashings and panels are made on site and can be tailored to suit specific requirements like symmetry or bespoke detailing. Our range of skills allows us to expertly deal with problem solving on complex installations to ensure a flawless end result.
