Zinc cladding systems we install

Standing seam for vertical emphasis; flat-lock (shingle) panels for a tiled, contemporary surface; interlocking panels for crisp reveals and soffits. All three are ventilated rainscreen build-ups — the metal is the weather face, the ventilated cavity and membrane behind it do the waterproofing. We design and install the whole build-up, not just the visible skin.

Zinc cladding colours

Natural zinc (bright, patinating to blue-grey); pre-weathered greys (QUARTZ-ZINC, ANTHRA-ZINC, prePATINA blue-grey and graphite-grey); and real colour via PIGMENTO and elZinc Rainbow — brown, green, blue, red, black. “Zinc cladding colours” is one of the searches this site already answers on page 1; our metal cladding colours guide shows every finish, and we put physical samples on your wall before sign-off.

Zinc cladding cost per m²

The honest answer: it depends on system, finish, build-up, access and how many junctions the facade throws at us. Our zinc cladding cost per m² guide publishes real UK ranges including what drives quotes up or down; your fixed price follows a measured survey.

Zinc dormers and feature cladding

The single most common zinc cladding job in London is the dormer: cheeks, roof and apron in matching zinc, tied into the existing covering. We also clad bays, entrance surrounds, parapets and garden rooms — small elevations get the same detailing discipline as full facades.

Where we install zinc cladding?

Across all London boroughs (North and North West London busiest — including zinc cladding in Harrow and Uxbridge), Essex, Hertfordshire and Cambridge. Recent zinc cladding includes VM Zinc Quartz at Woodlark Road, Cambridge (2024).

What are the benefits of Zinc Cladding

The Advantage: Why Zinc?

  • Self-Healing Properties: Perhaps the most remarkable trait of zinc is its ability to "heal" itself. Over time, the material develops a natural patina that can actually fill in and mask surface scratches and minor abrasions.

  • A Century of Durability: When installed by the experts at Dr. Mastercraft, a zinc roof can literally last a lifetime. It is naturally resistant to corrosion and does not suffer from the degradation common in traditional roofing materials.

  • The Eco-Conscious Choice: Zinc is 100% recyclable. At the end of its exceptionally long life cycle, the material can be repurposed without losing any of its structural or aesthetic integrity, making it one of the most sustainable building materials on the planet.

  • Non-Toxic & Clean: Zinc is a non-toxic metal. This ensures that rainwater runoff remains clean and free of pollutants, preventing stagnation and making it a safe choice for modern eco-builds.

STILL NOT SURE?

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does zinc cladding cost per m² in the UK?

— Real UK ranges are published in our zinc cladding cost guide — but every fixed quote follows a measured survey, because finish, access and junction complexity move the figure more than the metal itself.

What colours does zinc cladding come in?

— Natural bright zinc that patinates grey; pre-weathered blue-grey and graphite; and PIGMENTO/elZinc colour ranges (brown, green, blue, red, black and others). Samples on site before you commit.

Is zinc cladding better than aluminium?

— Different, not better: zinc offers the living patina and self-healing surface; aluminium offers any RAL colour, lighter weight and coastal resilience. We install both and will specify the one your building actually needs.

Does zinc cladding stain or mark?

— It can show fingerprints and handling marks before the patina matures, and early runoff can streak adjacent materials — both manageable with correct detailing and protection during the first year. Our disadvantages guide is honest about all of it.

Can you clad a dormer in zinc?

— Yes — zinc dormer cladding is one of our signature London jobs: cheeks, roof and apron in matching panels with fabricated flashings to the existing roof.
