Metaltech Roofing & Cladding Ltd
At Tain, Metaltech’ s contribution to the Passivhausstandard build includes Euroclad standing seam roofing and aluminium plank rainscreen cladding – a highperformance envelope ensuring energy efficiency and durability for generations of learners.
Then there’ s the justice sector, with their impressive £ 4.5 million package for the new HMP Highland in Inverness. This facility – Scotland’ s first new prison in over a century – demanded an extensive and secure external envelope.
Metaltech delivered Euroclad standing seam roofing for the housing blocks, rainscreen wall cladding, Europanel systems, feature aluminium fins, and more – all to the highest specification and under tight programme demands.
One of the most exciting recent undertakings is the new headquarters for The R & A in St Andrews. As golf’ s global governing body, The R & A represents tradition, prestige, and precision – values perfectly aligned with Metaltech’ s approach. Their contribution includes Euroclad Vieo rainscreen cladding, forming part of a sleek, modern façade for a building that will serve as the home of golf’ s administrators for decades to come.
This range of projects – from high-security prisons to luxury apartments, sprawling school campuses to iconic institutional headquarters – speaks to Metaltech’ s remarkable adaptability. Whether working with traditional materials like stone and brick slip or advanced composite panels and standing seam metal systems, their in-house teams bring experience, accuracy, and a keen eye for architectural detail.
Equally, their internal capabilities set them apart. The company provides full design, supply and install services, with in-house expertise across roofing, cladding, SFS walling, partitions, and ceilings.
That end-to-end offering makes Metaltech a one-stopshop for through-wall solutions, a rare commodity in a fragmented sub-contractor market. It also means that coordination issues are minimised, value engineering is optimised, and timelines are consistently met.
Yet for all their technical ability and growth, it’ s Metaltech’ s ethos that leaves the strongest impression. Their core values – trustworthiness, respect, quality and teamwork – are not corporate platitudes, but living principles embedded in every job, every site team, and every client interaction.
These values are reflected in the long-standing relationships they’ ve built with both customers and supply chain partners. It’ s no coincidence that British Gypsum and SIG frequently feature in their drylining projects; or that developers like Square & Crescent continue to hand them prestigious housing and restoration contracts across Edinburgh.
Metaltech’ s annual turnover target of £ 15 million reflects a business operating at scale, but their structure remains agile. As the company grows, it continues to invest in its people and processes, constantly learning, improving and embracing new challenges. Accreditations aren’ t just framed on the office wall – they represent an ongoing commitment to quality, safety, and environmental performance.
Looking ahead, Metaltech is already embedded in the delivery of high-profile future developments, including the new £ 1.6 million St Kevin’ s Primary School in Glasgow and the £ 0.6 million Paisley Grammar School Community Campus.
With each project, the company reinforces its position not just as a sub-contractor, but as a strategic partner delivering critical pieces of Scotland’ s built environment.
In a sector often defined by low margins and high risks, Metaltech Roofing & Cladding Ltd offers something rare: confidence. Confidence that the job will be done right, with care, with craft, and with the long-term in mind.
From critical infrastructure to cutting-edge education, and from heritage façades to energy hubs, Metaltech is helping to build a better Scotland – one panel, one seam, and one wall at a time.
