As the cooler months roll in, many people are preparing their properties in Hampshire for damp weather and winter storms. At Rushmoor Roofing, we’re seeing a surge in demand for metal roofing sheets, especially those which are poly coated galvanised , thanks to their unbeatable strength, weather resistance and long lifespan.
If you’re considering upgrading a roof this season, here’s why metal might be a great choice.
Why Choose Metal Roofing This Autumn?
Autumn in Hampshire brings a mix of rain, wind, and drops in temperature. All of these put traditional roofing materials to the test. Metal roofing sheets, on the other hand, are built to withstand the elements.
Benefits of Metal Roofing:
- Ideal for All Weathers. It can handle high winds, heavy rain, and frost without warping or cracking
- Low Maintenance. Unlike tile or slate, metal sheets don’t crack, chip, or require frequent repairs
- Energy Efficient. Reflects heat in summer and provides solid insulation in colder months
- Long Lasting. A professionally installed metal roof can last 40–70 years
Galvanised Roof Sheets: Built to Last
Galvanised roofing is made from steel coated in zinc, protecting it from rust and corrosion. It’s an ideal choice for properties across Hampshire, particularly in areas exposed to high levels of moisture.
Why Galvanised Sheets Are So Useful:
- Corrosion-resistant, even in coastal zones
- Affordable and easy to install
- Strong enough for garages, sheds, and full residential roofs
- Available with poly-coating and Drip Stop technology to reduce interior condensation
Metal Roofing: Strength with Style
Metal roofing has a unique style, which boosts its strength and structural performance. It’s a fantastic option for both traditional country homes and modern extensions.
Advantages of Our Metal Sheets:
- Lightweight yet highly durable
- Quick installation reduces labour costs
- Ideal for pitched or sloped roofs
- Adds character with an industrial or rustic finish
Want a roof that looks great and performs under pressure? Poly coated galvanised metal sheets are a smart, stylish option for any Hampshire property.

Sustainable and Eco-Friendly Roofing Choice
Looking to make greener choices? Metal roofing is one of the most environmentally friendly roofing systems available today.
Eco Benefits of Metal Roofing:
- 100% Recyclable – Most metal roofs are made from recycled materials and can be recycled again at end-of-life
- Energy Efficient – Reflective coatings help reduce indoor temperatures in summer and retain warmth in winter
- Less Waste – Metal roofs last 2–3 times longer than felt or tiles, meaning fewer replacements over time
- Rainwater Harvesting – Smooth surfaces make collecting clean rainwater simple and efficient
For homeowners in Hampshire looking to reduce energy bills and environmental impact, metal roofing is a no-brainer.

FAQs: Metal Roofing for Hampshire Homes
1. Is metal roofing noisy when it rains?
No, modern metal roofs are installed with insulation and underlays that dampen sound effectively.
2. Can I fit solar panels on a metal roof?
Yes. In fact, metal roofs are an excellent foundation for solar systems due to their strength and the fact they’re so long-lasting.
3. How long does installation take?
Most jobs are completed within 1–3 days depending on complexity. We always aim to minimise disruption.
4. Will galvanised sheets rust over time?
Not with proper coating. Galvanised steel is designed to resist rust, especially with added Drip Stop and poly-coatings.
5. Is metal roofing expensive?
While the upfront cost can be higher than standard tiles, metal pays for itself since it lasts for decades.
