Copper Roof Insurance Issues

What's the insurance issue with copper roofs?

Copper roofs have become extremely expensive to insure, often prohibitively so, meaning the cost of installing the copper roof in the first place isn't the only major expense you have to think about.

Be prepared to pay very large monthly or annual premiums and a massive excess on claims.

From churches and historic buildings to theatres, porches, and certain garden features, copper (and lead) theft is on the rise. Scrap copper is fetching higher and higher prices, making it viable for thieves to strip copper detailing and even entire copper roofs.

The high-spec theft-proof alternative:

The liquid polymer roofing system provides a high performance, theft-proof alternative to copper roofing - with no insurance issues at all. The 'verdi green' finish, which accurately mimics patinated copper to give you that authentic aged copper look is being used by more and more people around the UK, and we regularly coat the roofs of churches and houses that have suffered theft after theft of their original copper.

So stylish and high-spec is the liquid polymer copper alternative that it's also being requested in its own right by home owners and businesses alike, who appreciate its classic copper look combined with its clean, modern finish.

Keep your copper:

We replace copper where it needs replacing, but we can also coat sound copper in a protective membrane covering.

Scrap merchants will not pay for over-coated copper... especially when the covering membrane is combined with 'smart water DNA', which shows up under ultraviolet light.

So whether you want to keep your copper and coat it, or need a whole new roof, your finished roof will look fantastic and no one will ever steal it again. Say 'goodbye' to extortionate insurance premiums and spend the savings where you actually want to!
