Metal Roofing in Hawthorn

We are metal roofing specialists based in Rowville, and Hawthorn is part of our regular run. Between us the team has more than 30 years of roofing experience.

On a Hawthorn home that can mean a new Colorbond roof, a full replacement of a roof that has rusted through, or repairs to a roof that is otherwise sound. The flashings, gutters and drainage are detailed as part of the job, because that is where most roofs actually leak.

Terrace and Victorian housing here often has box gutters running inside the roof line, and those cause far more damage than an eaves gutter when they fail. Getting the falls and the sizing right is most of the job. Contact us for a free quote.

Common Questions

Roofing in Hawthorn

  • Yes. Hawthorn sits in the City of Boroondara, which is one of the areas we work in regularly. We are based in Rowville.

  • Some properties carry heritage overlays or neighbourhood character controls, and where they apply they can affect what you are allowed to do to a roof. We do not guess at this. We check what applies to your specific address as part of quoting.

  • Yes. We hold our own asbestos removal licence, so the strip, the disposal and the new roof all happen under one contract rather than waiting on another contractor to fit you in.

  • No. We are not a 24 hour emergency service and repairs are scheduled work. If your roof is actively leaking, get in touch and we will tell you the earliest we can get someone out to assess it.

  • Yes. The Colorbond steel carries the manufacturer's warranty, and our workmanship is warranted separately. Both are set out in writing with the quote rather than described over the phone.

  • We cover the whole City of Boroondara, including Kew, Hawthorn East, Camberwell, Canterbury, Surrey Hills, Ashburton, and we work across the neighbouring councils as well.

Metal Roofing Services in Hawthorn

Roof Replacement and Re-Roofing

Most of the roofs we replace in Hawthorn are being replaced because they have started to fail rather than because anyone wanted a new roof. Corroded sheets, leaks that return each winter, or a tile roof that has been re-pointed once already. We strip the old roof, check the structure underneath, and install a new Colorbond system with new flashings throughout.

Tile to Metal Conversions

Taking a tile roof off and putting metal on removes several tonnes from the roof frame. That is a structural change, so some houses need an engineer to look at it and a building permit before work starts. We organise that side of it, cart the tiles away, and install the new Colorbond roof.

Roof Repairs

Repairs are worth doing on a roof that has life left in it. Corroded sheets in one section, a flashing that has lifted at a wall junction, fixings that have backed out over twenty years. What you should get from the inspection is a clear answer on whether repairing it is money well spent or money spent twice.

Gutters, Box Gutters and Downpipes

Roof drainage causes more water damage than the roof does. Undersized or rusted gutters, box gutters with the wrong falls, and downpipes discharging against a wall all put water where it should not be. We install, replace and repair the whole system. We do not offer gutter cleaning.

Metal Cladding

Metal cladding gives a wall the same durability a metal roof gives the top of the house. It comes up most on extensions and rebuilds, where trying to match old brick or weatherboard rarely looks right. We install Colorbond steel as well as zinc, copper and aluminium.

Commercial Roofing

Alongside houses, Hawthorn has shops, consulting suites, schools and apartment buildings with roofs needing the same work at a different scale, usually without the option of closing while it happens. We work directly with owners, owners corporations and facilities managers.
