In Banstead we installed a zinc roof on a family home — a residential project in one of Surrey's leafy commuter villages on the edge of the North Downs.
Roofing in Banstead
Banstead's housing is mostly detached and semi-detached family homes from the early and mid twentieth century, where metal roofs appear on extensions, dormers and remodelled houses. A standing seam zinc roof suits these projects: it is light enough for many existing structures and works at low pitches.
For a house in a street of similar homes, a dark or pre-weathered zinc keeps an extension discreet from the road.
Questions about roofing in Banstead
Who handles planning in Banstead?
Reigate and Banstead Borough Council.
Is a zinc roof heavy?
No — zinc is much lighter than tiles or slate, which often makes it suitable for extensions and dormers without heavy structural changes. We confirm this with your engineer or architect.
