Metal Roofing in Ashburton

We are a metal roofing company based in Rowville, working throughout Ashburton and the wider City of Boroondara. Roofing and roof plumbing is the whole of our trade, and the team brings more than 30 years of combined experience to it.

We repair, replace and install metal roofs on Ashburton homes. That runs from a corroded sheet or a leaking flashing right through to stripping a tile roof and re-sheeting it in Colorbond, with the gutters and downpipes done as part of the same job.

Every price follows an inspection rather than a look from the driveway, because what a roof needs is rarely visible from the ground. Contact us for a free quote.

Why Choose Us

Roofing Specialists Working Across Ashburton

We do not fit roofing around other building work, because roofing and roof plumbing is the only trade we work in. That focus is why the detailing gets the attention it needs rather than being finished in a hurry at the end of a bigger project.

The same crews move between suburban re-roofs and commercial buildings across Victoria. Whatever turns up once an old covering comes off tends to be familiar to us instead of a problem to solve on the spot.

We are licensed and insured, members of Master Plumbers, and licensed to remove asbestos roofing and arrange compliant disposal. 25 customers have rated the work 5.0 on Google.

  • Over 30 years of combined roofing experience
  • Free site inspections, with no obligation
  • A straight answer on repair versus replacement
  • Colorbond steel with manufacturer backed warranties

What Our Customers Say

  • Dylan Peterson Google Review

    I couldn't be happier with Alex and the whole VIC Metal Roofing team! They replaced our old rusted and leaking corrugated iron roof with a new Colorbond one, and the difference is night and day. It looks phenomenal now and the stress when it rains is gone. The team were fantastic from start to finish. Very responsive and helpful whenever we had questions.

Common Questions

Roofing in Ashburton

  • Yes. Ashburton sits in the City of Boroondara, which we cover in full from our base in Rowville. This part of Melbourne is part of our normal working week.

  • You cannot tell reliably from the ground, which is why the inspection is free. We look at the condition of the covering, the flashings, the valleys and what sits underneath, then tell you which way we would go. If a repair will hold for years, we will say so.

  • It comes down to the size and pitch of the roof, how complicated the shape is, whether tiles have to come off and what the drainage needs. We do not price roofs over the phone. After the inspection you get a fixed written quote with the scope itemised, so you can see exactly what is in it.

  • No. We do not repair or re-point tile roofs, and we will tell you that before sending anyone out. What we do is replace a tile roof with metal, which is a large part of our work.

  • Gutter cleaning is not something we take on. We install, repair and replace gutters, box gutters and downpipes, so if a gutter has rusted through or the falls are wrong, that is work we can quote.

  • All of Boroondara, including Camberwell, Canterbury, Surrey Hills, Balwyn, Kew and the rest of the council. We also work across Monash, Whitehorse, Stonnington, Glen Eira and Knox.

Roof Replacement and Re-Roofing

A replacement earns its keep once the covering itself is finished rather than damaged in one spot. We strip the old roof off, sort out whatever the battens, timbers or sarking need, then install new Colorbond with the flashings and drainage redone in the same visit. Working in that order is what stops a new roof leaking at the junctions a year later. The timeline and the full scope go into the quote before anything starts.

Tile to Metal Conversions

Taking a tile roof off removes several tonnes from the frame, and that change is what brings engineering advice and a building permit into the picture on some houses. We work out which applies at the inspection and coordinate the engineer, the permit and any carpentry that follows. The tiles come off and are carted away, and the new roof goes on in the profile and colour you have chosen.

Roof Repairs

A sound roof with a local problem is a repair, not a replacement. Corroded sheets, a split valley, fixings that have backed out and flashings that have lifted can all be dealt with in sections. The point of getting up there is to work out whether you are in that situation or past it, and you get told either way.

Gutters, Box Gutters and Downpipes

Guttering does more damage than the roof when it gives up, because the water ends up against a wall or inside the eaves instead of running away. We replace rusted gutters, re-lay box gutters that were never sized for the roof draining into them, and put downpipes where the water should actually go. Gutter cleaning is the one part of this we do not take on.

Metal Cladding

Cladding brings the same finish and life span as a metal roof down onto the walls. It is a common answer on an extension, where new brickwork or weatherboard would never quite sit right against the original house. We install Colorbond steel along with zinc, copper and aluminium where the design calls for it.

Commercial Roofing

Alongside houses we work on shops, offices, schools and apartment buildings, where the roof needs the same treatment but the building cannot shut while it happens. We stage those jobs around trading hours and deal directly with owners, owners corporations and facilities managers. The scale changes, the detailing does not.
