Frequently Asked Questions
Is recycled roofing iron safe to use?
Yes, recycled roofing iron can be safe to use as long as it's in good condition and correctly installed. Look for sheets that are free from rust perforations, excessive pitting or structural warping. Light surface rust or weathering is normal and often just cosmetic — especially with older galvanised or Zincalume products. Always check that the sheets haven’t been weakened around nail holes or overlaps. When in doubt, consult with your supplier or a qualified roofer to confirm that the recycled iron is still structurally sound and safe for your specific application.
How do I cut and install second-hand roofing sheets?
Cutting and installing second-hand roofing iron is much the same as working with new sheets — but a bit of extra care is needed. Use metal snips or a cold-cut saw for clean edges and minimal heat distortion. Avoid using angle grinders, which can leave raw edges more vulnerable to rust. When installing, inspect each sheet for straightness and overlap them properly to avoid leaks. Pre-drill screw holes and use new fixings to secure the sheets. Always wear gloves, as older sheets can have sharp edges or hidden debris.
What are the pros and cons of using reclaimed roofing?
Pros include cost savings, environmental benefits and a unique weathered aesthetic that works well in rustic or industrial-style builds. Reclaimed roofing reduces waste and is often available locally, cutting down on transport emissions. Cons include the potential for corrosion, variation in sheet size or condition, and a shorter remaining lifespan if the sheets are already well worn. You’ll also need to inspect each piece carefully, as not all used sheets will be suitable for structural roofing. Still, for sheds, carports, fencing or feature walls, recycled iron can be a brilliant option.
