Using the right roofing tools can make a huge difference to both the quality and efficiency of an installation. On top of the standard tools any roofer would have in their kit, sometimes additional, heavier duty items are required on site. Correct tools help ensure tiles are shaped accurately, fixings are installed securely, and the finished roof looks neat and performs exactly as intended. They also reduce time on site, minimise waste, and make the installation process easier and safer for installers.
For lightweight metal roofing systems like Metrotile, purpose-designed tools are especially important. They allow tiles to be bent, shaped, and cut cleanly without damaging protective coatings or compromising performance.
Metrotile offers a range of specialist roofing tools available to hire or purchase, including:
To support secure fixing, Metrotile also supplies nail guns designed for roofing applications:
These tools allow nails to be driven quickly and consistently into roof battens, improving fixing accuracy while significantly speeding up installation. Using a nail gun not only saves time but also helps maintain correct fixing depths for a reliable, long-lasting roof.
With the right tools in hand, installing a Metrotile roof becomes faster, easier, and more precise — helping deliver a high-quality finish every time.
