- 01
The standing seam roof in the evening light
A finished metal roof with even seams in low-angle light. Shows precision across a large surface.
Example Panel by panel, seam by seam. A metal roof is only as good as its joints, and here every one sits right. #metalroof #sheetmetal

Leaves in the gutter
A full, blocked gutter in autumn. Reminds homeowners to clean theirs.
Example This is what a gutter often looks like after autumn. If the leaves stay there, the water overflows and can damage the facade. 🍂
- 03
The chimney flashing
A freshly flashed chimney on the roof. Shows a spot where water often gets in.
Example On many roofs, water gets in around the chimney. Clean sheet metal flashing keeps it dry there.
- 04
Copper that changes colour
New copper next to old copper with a green patina. A fascinating material that makes people curious.
Example Copper starts out with a reddish shine, turns brown over the years and later green. This change protects the material and looks beautiful too. #copper

Handwork at the folding machine
A sheet being folded in the workshop, with consent if people can be seen. Shows the path to the finished part.
Example Many of the parts for a roof are made here in the workshop. Each one is folded exactly to measure so it fits perfectly up top.
- 06
Soldering the old way
A close-up of a soldered joint on a gutter. Classic craftsmanship that many people do not know.
Example We still solder our gutters. A good soldered seam stays watertight, even after years of rain. #craftsmanship #sheetmetal
- 07
The sheet metal dormer
A dormer clad in sheet metal, before and after. Shows how metal can make a house look modern.
Example The dormer used to be weathered wood. Now it is clad in dark sheet metal and matches the new roof.
- 08
Snow guards for winter
A snow guard fitted above the entrance. A timely tip before the cold season.
Example When snow slides off the roof, it can hit people and cars. A snow guard holds it back, ideally fitted before the first snowfall. ❄️
- 09
Outside window sill
A new sheet metal window sill with a clean finish against the facade. A small detail that prevents big damage.
Example An outside window sill carries rainwater away from the facade. If it does not seal properly, stains and damage to the render follow.

Sheet metal tools
Seaming pliers, shears and soldering iron on the workbench. Shows the craft behind the work.
Example Seaming pliers, tin snips, soldering iron: almost everything on the roof is made with these tools. We have been using some of them for many years.

Apprentice on the roof
An apprentice at work, properly secured, with consent. Speaks to young people.
Example Fresh air, sheet metal in hand, view included. Today our apprentice fitted his first gutter on his own. #apprenticeship #sheetmetal

When to clean the gutter
A text tile in your colours with a simple recommendation. Useful and easy to share.
Example Gutters should be cleaned at least once a year, ideally after the leaves fall in autumn. If there are big trees nearby, do it more often. #guttercleaning
