Dormer Loft Conversion

I have a very dated dormer loft conversion that is in need of repair. Any ideas / suggestions as to what would be most hardwaring / longer lasting, etc?

Thanks

    Our loft conversion has a lot of lead on it. It is welded at the joins and therefore very long lasting and waterproof-but it is expensive

    Yes, over the windows, has no upvc or wood facias etc its all lead with roof tiles. Hence long lasting and nothing to clean or rot.
