Churches Keeps Faith In Metrotile With Long-Term Re-Roofing Specification.

The Challenge

Churches in the UK are not only places of worship, but are often the beating heart of local communities. As many churches in the UK have stood proud for hundreds of years, we’re now seeing the effects of longevity through increased maintenance costs due to constant repairs. Churches across the UK require roofing solutions that combine long-term durability, traditional appearance, and consistent performance across multiple buildings and locations. With many church properties ageing and exposed to the elements, the challenge was to identify a trusted roofing system that could deliver lasting protection while maintaining a respectful, aesthetically fitting appearance.

The Solution

Metrotile was chosen as the specified supplier for a nationwide programme of church roof replacements — a testament to the brand’s reputation for reliability, product consistency, and long-term performance.

The Metrotile Slate 0.9 profile was selected for its ideal balance of strength, security, and authentic slate appearance. The thicker 0.9mm gauge offers enhanced durability and anti-vandal benefits, ensuring each site remains protected and visually striking for decades to come.

With a sleek Charcoal finish, the Slate .9 profile perfectly complements the traditional architecture of the church buildings while providing a clean, modern edge that enhances kerb appeal.

Metrotile’s 40-year weatherproof guarantee and proven UK-wide supply reliability were key factors in securing the ongoing contract — ensuring no disruption to project timelines and no compromise on quality, regardless of location.

The Installation

Recent reroofing projects in Redditch and Kidderminster have demonstrated the effectiveness of the partnership. Both installations, undertaken by Jennings Roofing Contractors, ran smoothly, even with the unusual roof shape on the Kidderminster site where Metrotile Shingle was used in conjunction to the Slate .9 to provide a durable, secure covering as the vertical cladding; materials were delivered on time and fitted without issue. The lightweight, easy-fix nature of the entire Metrotile system simplified installation while minimising disruption to the surrounding areas.

Results

With multiple successful projects completed and more planned, the contract highlights how Metrotile has become a trusted partner for long-term, multi-site refurbishment programmes. The durability, consistency, and aesthetic appeal of the Slate 0.9mm profile provide complete peace of mind — protecting these important community buildings well into the future.

By combining traditional style with modern performance, Metrotile continues to deliver secure, low-maintenance, and visually appealing roofing solutions for heritage and faith properties across the UK.
