For Architects
Specification support and installation for zinc, copper and standing seam. Metalico works with architects across the southern UK on details that keep product warranties intact.

Why involve the installer at RIBA 3–4
Hard-metal systems fail in predictable places: unventilated warm roofs dressed as cold, clip spacings copied from another mill, abutments drawn without a welt, underlays that trap moisture, penetrations added after the sheet is ordered. Those are specification problems, not ‘workmanship issues’ to argue about on site.
If we see the detail while it can still change, we can keep the mill’s warranty path open and stop a pretty section becoming an unsightly flashing farm.
Details that can actually be built and warranted. For architects and specifiers
We help architects specify zinc, copper and standing-seam roofs and facades, then install them. The useful moment to call us is before the substrate is drawn, not after the first leak.

What we recommend works practice
Comment on sections and typical details before they go to tender.
Advice on metal, finish and system against pitch, exposure and budget — VMZINC, elZinc, Nordic Copper, KME, PREFA, GreenCoat PLX.
A realistic view on programme, access and the order of trades.
Installation by a crew that can follow a drawing and will say so when the drawing cannot be followed.
RAMS, insurance documents and a single point of contact — Billy Leach.

Domestic work is usually direct with the client after an architect introduction.
Contract work is as a named specialist subcontractor. We would rather be named on the drawing than win a reverse auction after the system has been cheapened.
Send a GA, the relevant sections, and a note on the metal you have in mind. We will come back with comments and, if the job is a fit, a route to survey and price.
