Russell griffiths Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 A bit vague but has anybody got any figures for metal roof covering, per metre, looking at various types from the basic steel zincalume farm shed stuff to a raised seam zinc only had one quote back in so far for an aluminium raised seam, looks like a good product with a very good life span warranty on the coating trying to get a feel for realistic price verses the inflated Cotswold salmon colour cords and yellow sock brigade that they think I am.

Crofter Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 My corrugated iron worked out about £10/m2, for the heaviest grade of sheeting with the most durable coating, inc all flashings and fixings. If you go for thinner sheets with a galv finish, and no fixings or flashings, it's about £5/m2. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesP Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 Hi Russ, FYI Tata Urban Colorcoat was about £36.00 sq/m in 06/17 once you included eaves, ridge and verge and delivery..... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AliG Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 (edited) I have some Zinc which cost over £100 per square metre fitted, maybe £120. I think that included a box gutter around the edge. It took a few quotes to get the price down to that level which still seemed high to me. There is an aluminium alternative, which I didn't know existed. http://www.euroclad.com/roofs/vieo-roof-profile/ People seem to be quoting around £60 a metre for this. My builder did suggest the Tata one but we just felt it looked to plasticky. Not sure the planners would have allowed it either as it's a conservation area. A lot depends on how visible it is. Ours is right on front of the house and also can be looked down on from other rooms in the house. Edited December 16, 2018 by AliG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tosh Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 Our best quotes for standing seam were for Falzinc which came in around £71/sqm as well as VMZinc which was £79/sqm. Some quotes were similar to yours though at around £100-120/sqm. Beware that ridges, drips, flashing etc etc will be priced by the linear meter and will range from £22-70/lm (drip flashing cheapest/ridge flashing dearest). We looked at Tata, Euroclad et al but we were put off by the fact that should the plastisol coating get scratched or you cut the sheets e.g. for penetrations, then the steel will rust unless sealed properly. We found most manufacturers difficult to talk to regards design details though most were amenable to supply samples. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesP Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 I did go and look at the Euroclad in Cardiff, great product, similar price to Tata, but you do need to rent a seamer tool at £290.00 per 2 weeks if installing yourself. The finish is similar to Tata, up close you can see the pattern on the coating. in no way does it look plasticky once it is on. I am in a National Park, showed them both Euroclad and Tata, they chose tata but what do they know? My advice is choose another colour than anthracite........ it really does depend if you are fitting yourself and budget. I have 300+ sqm to fit, have fun. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeremy Harris Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 FWIW, we used recycled plastic "slates". About the same price as mid-quality Spanish slate, so not that cheap, but virtually no wastage at all, so there's a real saving of around 10% to 20% in material cost. The bigger saving is on installation cost, as they are only 20% of the weight of real slate, so are much quicker and easier to carry up on to the roof, and a bit quicker to nail down, but they do have to be pilot drilled for the nails. If they aren't pilot drilled the nails just bounce off, as they are moulded with a slight curve so they snug down tight on the "slate" below. Overall the cost was about the same as Tata Urban, as that was our original choice, and what was in our planning consent. We had to change away from the Tata Urban as the manufacturer of the integrated, flexible, solar panel system that was just bonded directly on to the steel roofing, went bust. Pity, as it was a really good looking system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottishjohn Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 greys artstone was what i had in mind --got some samples very impressed , checked price again --bit more than i remember --old age but under £20 sqm and you would not tell them from real slate unless you were within 3ft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are in exactly the same position and will have whatever metal roofing we have on the first floor walls as cladding. We have samples of Tata, Euroclad and have been comparing general pricing. We also looked at alternatives like the Marley Eternit. We are now leaning to a cheaper alternative a plastisol covering metal from a local firm at a fraction of the price of Tata and Euroclad given that it will rust the same, it's all down to getting someone who is competent to install it! https://www.excelclad.co.uk/sheets--cladding-14-c.asp Edited December 26, 2018 by canalsiderenovation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottishjohn Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 (edited) someone that will spend the time to paint all the edges and use some sort of paint /sealer etc under every fixing. and use butyl tape on all overlaps --so when sheets move it don,t wear off the coating Edited December 26, 2018 by scottishjohn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Visti Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 12/m2 with corrugated metal (steel) with mica coating and anti-condendation undercoat from Cladco. Similar to @Crofter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
