Metal Tile Roofing Systems
Metal Tile Roofing for Commercial & Specialist Refurbishment Projects
Young & Company install lightweight metal tile roofing systems for commercial, industrial, education and specialist refurbishment projects where a durable, attractive and practical roof covering is required.
Metal tile roofing systems offer the appearance of traditional roof tiles, slates or plain tiles, while providing the benefits of a lightweight metal roofing system. This makes them
particularly suitable for refurbishment projects where traditional concrete, clay or slate roofing may not be suitable due to weight, structure, access or project constraints.
These systems are commonly used on commercial buildings, schools, community centres, pavilions, clubhouses and specialist refurbishment schemes where a high-quality finished appearance is required.
Young & Company have experience installing systems including Britmet Tileform, Metrotile and other tileform metal roofing products across a range of commercial and refurbishment projects.

What Our Clients Say
Roof Pitch & System Suitability
Metal tile roofing systems are pitched roofing products and must be installed to the appropriate minimum pitch required by the selected manufacturer and system.
Different products have different pitch requirements, so the correct system should be selected to suit the building, roof design and project requirements.
Where very low pitch roof refurbishment is required, Young & Company can also advise on alternative systems, including standing seam roofing systems such as Royaldeck ‘S’.
