Galvanised Corrugated Metal Roofing Sheets

Price range: £18.00 through £20.00 ex. VAT

Our galvanised corrugated metal roofing sheets offer a durable, weather-resistant solution for a wide range of roofing and cladding projects. Available in 8ft (2.4m) and 10ft (3.0m) lengths, with an overall width of 840mm (0.84m), these sheets are designed for strength, ease of handling, and quick installation. Suitable for domestic, agricultural and commercial use, they provide reliable long-term protection, while the corrugated profile helps ensure effective water run-off and added structural rigidity. To secure the corrugated sheeting, use our self-drilling sheet-to-timber Tek screws on wooden purlins or sheet-to-metal Tek screws for steel frames – both feature EPDM washers for a reliable, watertight seal.

Description

Tin roofing sheets 8ft & 10ft lengths

Manufactured from galvanised steel to British Standard 3083:1988, these sheets feature a protective zinc coating that resists rust and corrosion, offering a lifespan of 30 years or more with proper maintenance — far outlasting many alternatives and immune to issues like insect damage.

Our galvanised corrugated sheets are lightweight yet strong (approx. 10kg for 8ft, 12kg for 10ft), easy to handle, and feature the classic 3-inch (76.2mm) corrugation profile for excellent water runoff on sloping roofs. They are available in two practical lengths:

  • 8ft (2.4m total length): Covering width 610mm (24″), overall width 840mm.
  • 10ft (3.0m total length): Covering width 762mm (30″), overall width 840mm.

Both come in 0.54mm thickness (24 SWG), providing strong structural integrity while remaining flexible and cost-effective. For a watertight seal, we recommend a standard overlap of 150mm for roofs with a 10° pitch (or 300mm for shallower 5° pitches).

These versatile sheets excel in demanding UK weather, reflecting heat in summer to keep interiors cooler and withstanding wind, rain, and other elements better than many traditional materials. Ideal for sloping roofs, side cladding, fenced areas, or even film/TV set builds, they’re also stackable for easy storage and transport.

As a trusted local supplier based in Aldingbourne, West Sussex, we offer nationwide delivery or convenient collection from our yard Monday–Friday. Sheets are priced competitively with fast turnaround – typically delivered within 2–5 business days.

  • Imperial and metric thickness: 0.0236″ (0.0213″) & 0.60mm (0.54mm).
  • Material: Galvanised steel.
  • Manufactured to: British Standard 3083:1988.

It is a piece of corrugated steel sheeting, perfect for creating a roof covering or cladding.

  • An 8ft corrugated sheet weighs approximately 10kg.
  • A 10ft length of corrugated roofing sheet weighs approximately 12kg.

These sheets are ideal for creating roof coverings but can also be used to make fenced-off areas, shelters, cladding, or even for use on film and TV sets.

Corrugated roofing sheets are galvanised, which provides a protective zinc coating that can help these panels last 30 years or more if maintained correctly.

The standard overlap is 150mm, which is recommended for roofs with a pitch of 10 degrees. 300mm is recommended for angles that are 5 degrees.

Each sheet should overlap the first row by approximately 6 inches (150mm), then continue until the area is covered, ensuring that the panels above and to the side have the same overlap.

Yes, this particular product is best known for being easy to use, versatile, lightweight, and, more importantly, robust. Once installed, it creates a safe, secure roof covering that will last.

These sheets have already been galvanised (hot dipped in zinc), protecting them from corrosion and rust. However, if you notice white rust, which can occur due to improper storage (such as in damp environments), it is easily treated as it is surface rust. First, it must be cleaned and sanded. Then the panels should be primed with a zinc-rich primer.

Please note: These sheets excel in demanding conditions — see our full FAQs for leak prevention and maintenance tips.

It is recommended that a pitch of 5 degrees should be the absolute minimum for a corrugated iron roof. Any lower could risk water entry into the seams.

Yes, if they have not been installed correctly, they can leak. If they have been fitted with the correct overlaps for the roof pitch and sealed, there is no reason for any leakage.

There could be several reasons this is happening. Firstly, adverse weather conditions, such as strong winds and rain, structural damage, ice damage, or heavy snow, may have prevented the seam from forming correctly during initial installation. Additionally, check whether the sealant or tape may have failed.

Firstly, inspect the roof to find the source of the leak. Once this has been located, you can then use the following to fix it, depending on the cause:

  • Replace all screws or fixings.
  • Replace any damaged panels.
  • Reseal the area with sealant or butyl tape.
  • Apply a waterproof coating to the roof for enhanced protection.

Corrugated metal sheeting is designed wavy to allow water to run off rather than creating a pool on the roof.

Pro’s

  • Ideal for sloping roofs.
  • Long life span.
  • Minimal rusting.
  • Not vulnerable to burrowing insects such as termites.
  • Lightweight, durable and flexible.
  • This type of metal can withstand adverse weather better than most other roof types.

Con’s

  • They are not usually produced locally.

As you can see, there are far more reasons to use this type of roof sheeting than not.

They are extremely strong. These sheets are known for being highly durable, able to withstand adverse weather and other factors.

Here is a quick step-by-step guide on installing this type of sheeting:

  • Measure your coverage area. You should note down the width (horizontally) and the length from the peak to the lowest spot.
  • If needed, cut the sheeting to the length required. You could use an angle grinder. However, where possible, you are advised not to cut them unless necessary.
  • Pre-drill the holes on the ridges. It is recommended to space these holes horizontally at 6 to 8 inches and vertically at 2 feet.
  • Install your insulation.
  • Apply sealant and closure strips to the edge of the flashing.
  • Add an extra line of sealant on top of the closure strip, then add the panels on top of this.
  • Ensure there is a sufficient overhang of approximately 10cm.
  • Using a drill, secure the sheets with wood screws and washers. It is recommended to drill these screws through the sheeting to prevent denting.
  • Continue adding the sheeting to complete the first row.
  • Next, repeat this process until the whole roof is covered.
  • Attach the gable trim and roof cap – these will help to keep out the elements.

The corrugation of the sheeting refers to the wave or ripple pattern that repeats in its design.

Use galvanised or stainless steel roofing screws (with EPDM washers/seals) to prevent corrosion mismatch. Fix through the crest (high point) of the corrugation to achieve optimal water runoff and avoid pooling. Space horizontally every 150–300mm (depending on wind exposure) and vertically at purlin supports. We recommend self-drilling tek screws for timber purlins or appropriate fixings for steel/metal frames — contact us for recommendations or bundled kits.

Avoid cutting unless essential (to minimise waste and maintain galvanised protection). Use a nibbler, an angle grinder with thin metal-cutting disc, or tin snips for clean edges. Always wear PPE (gloves, eye protection) due to sharp burrs. After cutting, apply a zinc-rich cold galvanising spray to exposed edges to prevent rust.

Store flat or slightly inclined in a dry, covered area away from ground moisture to prevent white rust (zinc oxidation from trapped water). Keep sheets separated with timber battens if stacking multiple packs, and ensure good ventilation. Avoid prolonged outdoor exposure — if sheets get wet, separate and dry them immediately. Our sheets are stackable and easy to transport, so plan delivery close to install date.

Yes – we can usually source or advise on compatible items like galvanised ridge caps, barge boards, eaves fillers, butyl tape/sealants, and closure strips for a watertight finish.

The hot-dip galvanised zinc coating provides good corrosion resistance inland/rural, but for coastal/salty environments, consider extra edge protection or coated alternatives (available on request). For high winds, ensure secure fixing at crests, minimum 10° pitch, and purlin spacing no more than 1.2m.
