Tile-to-Colorbond roof conversions
Swapping a tiled roof for Colorbond is the most common metal roofing job we do in Melbourne. The tiles and old battens come off, the frame is checked, and new battens are set out for the sheets. Sarking and insulation go down before the new roof, then flashings, ridge and matching gutters finish it. A metal roof is far lighter than tiles, which suits older frames, and there is no ridge capping to re-bed or repoint afterwards.
Metal roofing for patios, pergolas and extensions
Smaller roofs get the same care as a full re-roof. We fit Colorbond and Zincalume sheets on extensions, carports and verandahs, and polycarbonate or fibreglass sheeting where you want light through a patio or pergola roof. Gutters and downpipes are matched to the main house.
Insulation, sarking and ventilation options
A re-roof is the cheapest moment to add insulation and roof ventilation. We include options in every quote so you can decide with the numbers in front of you.
Frequently asked questions
How long does a Colorbond re-roof take?
A typical single-storey home takes one to two weeks depending on size and weather.
Can you match the new roof to my existing gutters?
Yes, or we replace the gutters in a matching colour at the same time.
Is Colorbond noisy in rain?
With sarking and insulation installed, no more than a tiled roof.
Can you replace a tiled roof with Colorbond?
Yes. Tile-to-Colorbond conversions are a regular job for us. The tiles and battens are removed, the frame is checked, and the new metal roof goes on with sarking, insulation and matching gutters.
Do you work across all of Melbourne?
Yes. We install Colorbond and metal roofing across metro Melbourne, from Wyndham and Melton in the west to the Yarra Ranges in the east.
