Experienced metal roofers you can trust

From complex lead details on heritage roofs to modern standing seam zinc or copper for contemporary designs, we bring deep technical knowledge and careful workmanship to every job.

We are used to working directly with homeowners as well as alongside architects, main contractors and developers. From the first site visit through to final handover, we give clear advice, realistic timeframes and a tidy, respectful service on site.

35+ years of hard metal experience

We work almost exclusively with lead, copper, zinc and stainless steel, so you benefit from genuine specialist knowledge rather than a general roofer who only occasionally installs metal roofs.

Support from design to completion

We are comfortable working from architect drawings, advising on roof build ups, or helping homeowners choose the right material for their property and budget. Our aim is always to deliver a roof that looks right, performs well and represents good long term value.

Repairs, refurbishments and new build projects

Whether you need a small area of leadwork repaired, a historic roof renewed or a full metal roof on a new build, we approach every project with the same level of care.

What our Customers say

We are proud of the range of projects we have completed across Cambridge and Cambridgeshire, from detailed heritage leadwork to contemporary zinc and copper roofs on architect designed homes. Here are just a few feedback from happy customers of our work.

We used Cambridge Metal Roofing to renew all the leadwork on our Victorian terrace after years of patchy repairs from different roofers. From the first visit they were clear about what actually needed doing and why the old work kept failing. The new lead valleys and flashings look spot on and the difference in workmanship is obvious. They kept everything tidy and finished sooner than expected. Easily the most reliable tradesmen we’ve dealt with in a long while.
John Taylor
Our architect recommended using zinc for our rear extension and put us in touch with Cambridge Metal Roofing. I’m really glad we went with them. They talked us through the different zinc finishes and helped us pick VMZinc Quartz so it would blend well with the house. The standing seam roof looks amazing and you can tell they take pride in their work. The attention to detail around the rooflight in particular is brilliant. Would happily use them again.
James Ali
We had two copper dormers added as part of a loft conversion and Cambridge Metal Roofing handled the copper work. Copper isn’t something you see very often, so we were a bit nervous, but they knew exactly what they were doing. The finish is immaculate and already starting to develop the slight patina they said it would. They explained everything in plain English and worked well with our main builder. Very professional from start to finish.

I run a small building company and brought the team in to complete the VMZinc cladding on a new build we were working on. Our client wanted a very clean, contemporary look and these lads delivered exactly that. Their setting out was precise, all the seams lined up perfectly and they dealt with a few awkward corners without any drama. It’s rare to find proper metal roofing specialists locally, and these guys are now top of my list for future jobs.
Darren Price
Our original roof was constantly giving us problems due to the exposed location of our house. Cambridge Metal Roofing suggested stainless steel as the best long term solution. It wasn’t the cheapest option but I’m glad we trusted their advice. The new roof is light, neat and absolutely solid. Even with the high winds we get up here there hasn’t been a single issue. Communication was good throughout and they left everything spotless afterwards.
David O'Connor
I called Cambridge Metal Roofing after a leak appeared above our bay window. They came out the next morning, identified cracked leadwork and temporary repairs someone else had bodged. They sorted the problem properly, replaced the lead apron and checked the rest of the roof while they were up there. The price was fair and they didn’t try to upsell anything we didn’t need. It’s refreshing to deal with a company that’s honest and actually turns up when they say they will.
