Often used as an alternative to lead, it is not only strong and versatile in any environment, but also weathers down like lead. A further advantage over lead, is that it is both difficult and dangerous for the unskilled to remove, acting as a deterrent to lead thieves!

This material has been a popular choice for many years. The Chrysler Building in Chicago was crowned with terned stainless steel when it was built in 1929, and it is a major component of the Thames Barrier.

Stainless steel was the low maintenance choice when The CEL Group converted an old warehouse into a modern residential development on the Thames at Concordia Wharf. They installed pitched roofs with flat and traditional valleys, and a bespoke high-flow gutter system in this project on the Isle of Dogs.
