Zinc Roofing Systems

Zinc is one of the most versatile architectural roofing materials available, combining a distinctive appearance with exceptional durability and relatively low maintenance requirements.

JCD Roofing specialises in standing seam zinc roofing, creating clean, defined lines particularly suited to contemporary homes, extensions, new-build properties and architectural developments.

We can also use zinc for flat-lock applications and detailed architectural features, allowing the material to be incorporated into areas where traditional standing seams may not be appropriate.

Approved VMZINC contractor

As an approved VMZINC contractor, JCD has specialist knowledge of VMZINC roofing systems and the detailing required to achieve the correct installation and finish.

A natural patina

Zinc naturally develops a protective patina as it ages, contributing to its long service life and giving the material its distinctive appearance.

A range of finishes

A range of finishes is available, allowing architects, developers and homeowners to select a zinc system that complements the design of the building.

Our Zinc Roofing service can be explored in more detail on our dedicated zinc and metal roofing pages.

PREFA Aluminium Roofing

PREFAPREFA Approved Installer

JCD Roofing is a PREFA Approved Installer, providing specialist aluminium roofing solutions for contemporary residential, commercial and architectural projects.

PREFA aluminium roofing combines a lightweight construction with excellent durability, weather resistance and low maintenance requirements. Its relatively low weight can also make aluminium an attractive option where the overall roof load is an important consideration.

Available in a range of profiles, finishes and colours, PREFA systems can be used to create striking contemporary roofs while also working effectively on renovations and more traditional buildings where a modern metal finish is required.

As an approved installer, JCD has undertaken the relevant specialist training required to install PREFA systems correctly and in accordance with the manufacturer's requirements.

Copper Roofing Specialists

Copper roofing provides a distinctive premium finish combined with an exceptionally long potential service life when correctly designed and installed.

JCD Roofing undertakes specialist copper roofing and architectural copper work for complete roofs and smaller detailed areas including:

  • Canopies
  • Dormers
  • Porches
  • Bays
  • Flashings
  • Bespoke roof features

One of copper's defining characteristics is the way its appearance naturally evolves over time. The material gradually develops a patina as it is exposed to the environment, giving each installation an increasingly distinctive character.

Illustrative only. Copper changes gradually with exposure.

Its combination of durability, workability and appearance makes copper particularly suited to high-quality residential, heritage and architectural projects where the roof forms an important part of the overall building design.

Traditional Lead Roofing and Leadwork

Alongside modern hard-metal roofing systems, JCD Roofing undertakes traditional lead roofing and detailed leadwork.

Lead remains an important roofing material due to its durability, flexibility and ability to form complex weatherproof details. Our leadwork includes complete and partial lead roofs together with:

  • Flashings
  • Valleys
  • Gutters
  • Aprons
  • Abutments
  • Detailed roof junctions

Traditional leadwork is particularly important on period and heritage properties, but it also plays a critical role in many modern roofing systems where different materials and roof sections meet.

Correct detailing, sizing and installation are essential to allow lead to naturally expand and contract while maintaining reliable weather protection.

Steel and Metal Roofing Contractors

As specialist metal roofing contractors, JCD Roofing works across a range of architectural roofing metals, allowing the roofing material to be selected according to the design, performance requirements and budget of the individual project.

Steel can provide a strong and durable roofing solution and forms part of the wider range of metal roofing options available for suitable residential, commercial and development projects.

However, metal roofing is not a single system or material. Depending on the project, zinc, aluminium, copper, steel or lead may provide the most appropriate solution.

Our role is to understand the design and performance requirements of the project and advise on a roofing system that provides the right combination of durability, appearance, detailing and long-term performance.
