Top Drawer Zinc have very well thought out products. I've not used them personally, but I know the owner has put a lot of effort into getting things just right.

Thanks for the link, I was looking for some firms to chat to, as local contractors are a bit on the fence.
Considering GRP with standing seam imitation trim, as a cost saving option, though not quite sure how much it saves.
The builder that I'm thinking of using reckons about a 6 week build for what I'm thinking, though he won't do the zinc, and would have to coordinate with a different firm and try to get the times to match up.Image attached, planned roof, the triangle on the right is a flat roof section to comply with planning.

Anyone got any experience with zinc roofs?
Our current extension plans have a zinc roof specced due to the pitch required.
A number of builders I’m speaking to are someone hesitant as it needs a specialist, zinc is unlikely to be cheap, or get contractors in at the right time.
I have been suggested GRP as an alternative.
Looks like it can be designed to resemble a zinc roof, or be made completely flat.
Should be considerably cheaper.
Any thoughts or suggestions?
