Elegant zinc roofing with lasting protection
Zinc roofing combines durability and style, offering a unique architectural statement. At Metal Armour Roofing Ltd, we install VMZinc systems that develop a self-protecting patina over time, enhancing corrosion resistance while providing a distinctive finish. Suitable for standing seam roofs, dormers, and façade cladding, zinc adapts to complex geometries and contemporary designs. We deliver a solution that balances longevity, aesthetic appeal, and practical performance for both residential and heritage properties, alongside our steel roofing and aluminium roofing services for a complete metal roofing package.

An excellent experience all round from initial site survey by Sam, through great continuous communication by Kyleigh and finally the installation by Sam and his small team. Metal Armour have achieved exactly the aesthetic that I requested… minimal and very modern. All fascia, soffit, corner and building interface detailing has been carried out to the highest standard, resulting in an even better than expected finish. Sam is easy to deal with on-site and makes sure the customer knows exactly what to expect before each detail is committed to… this approach was perfect for my perfectionist nature. The look of my roof is a major part of, and therefore critical to, the final overall aesthetic of my extension and to this end, Metal Armour have managed to surpass my expectations on this phase of my build. An absolute pleasure to do business with. Thank you to the team. Jason
