We don't do galvanised half round but we do zinc, copper or stainless steel half round. In either 4", 5" or 6" with matching down pipes. You can get galvanised but the joints are sealed with silicone, whereas we solder the joints with the other materials.

Totally agree with woody on this one! Although we have been accused of destroying the industry, the majority of residential work is re-roofing if we install a roof that lasts over a hundred years we are hurting are fellow roofers by taking away future work. Unfortunately I know more bad...

This is an indoor heated swimming pool with lots of glass, it has to be a top notch roof hence why 90% is 200mm foamglas with zinc on top. I'm going to try and persuade the client to change the single ply to zinc as I can't find anyone who knows the correct build up. Thanks for your help anyway.

Surely there is thermal transfer through the long screws creating cold spots?? As I've said before where is the vapour control layer or ventilation in single ply membrane roofs??

Just out of interest what stops the warm moist air condensing on the cold single ply membrane.......... .......there was no mention of vapour control layer or ventilation?? And don't even mention foil backed plasterboard.....about as useful as a chocolate teapot!

A zinc roof would only cost £4000.............. Just saying.......... :D :wink:

Sarnafil was specified but I'm happy to use any other top brand that comes with a lengthy guarantee :-)

Hi wonder if you could help me? I have a roof to do on a new swimming pool. I need 142m2 of foamglas to a total depth of 200mm plus 30 tins of pc56 all to be delivered next week......do you know any suppliers that could help me out? My other query is I also have 22m2 of flat roof on the same...

Stainless steel. You can do it in one piece with a fall of 1:100. No weight issues as its only 0.5mm thick and will last hundreds of years.

Hi Jon, thanks for the message. For the one roof with the 2 sky lights you're looking at around £3500 for a grey coloured zinc. We're happy to travel anywhere in the country, we do not advertise as we work on recommendations only. We do not currently have a website as we try to keep overheads...

Hi Julian, my name is Lee and my number is 07795053635. Give me a call and we can discuss the zinc roof options. Best regards.

A warm roof does not have any ventilation! Any small "voids" in a warm roof are areas of risk where condensation can occur, no matter how small. What you're describing is a cold roof.

there'a only room for one zinc king on here....... :wink: That makes you the Prime Minister of Zinc Jerry....... you have been elected but you'll never be king!

Porch roof with matching fascia, half round gutter and down pipes

New soffit, fascia and half round gutter with matching down pipes

Zinc or stainless steel is used on churches around our way.....

Have to agree with Joe on this one. Noise and condensation problems aside, if the system is so good why don't more people have it? At the end of the day the client can have whatever they want but I'd want at least £15k to do it. Save yourself £10k and have it traditionally tiled. :mrgreen:

I don't want to put you off but going for stainless steel, tile option is very expensive. A rough estimate would be around £25000.00 . There are much more cost effective options, zinc long strip would be cheaper and last just as long.

I can give you a quote to supply and install zinc, copper or stainless steel if that's what you're looking for?

Of course, brain isn't working at he moment! Although it presents another problem with eaves ventilation...........
