Metal Roofing in Kew

We are a Rowville based metal roofing company and we work on homes right through Kew. Our team brings more than 30 years of combined experience to it.

Whether the roof needs replacing outright or only the sections that have failed, you get a straight answer on which it is. Colorbond steel, new flashings throughout, and roof drainage sized for the area that actually drains into it.

A lot of Kew housing is period, and period roofs bring chimneys, valleys and changes of pitch, which is where roofs leak rather than in the middle of a sheet. On a roof like that the flashing details matter more than the sheeting does. Contact us for a free quote.

Why Choose Us

Why Kew Homeowners Call Us

We are metal roofing and roof plumbing specialists, which means the roof, the flashings and the drainage are all handled by the same team. Between us that is more than 30 years of experience, and Kew is inside the area we cover week to week.

We work on everything from one house to warehouse roofs measured in thousands of square metres. That range matters on a house, because the problems that show up once the old roof comes off are rarely new to us.

Fully licensed and insured, Master Plumbers members, and licensed to remove asbestos roofing and manage compliant disposal. That last one matters on older houses, because it keeps the strip and the new roof under the one contract.

  • Colorbond steel with manufacturer backed warranties
  • Metal roofing and roof plumbing is all we do

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.

  • Georgia Smith Google Review

    We had a really great experience with Alex and Ben at Vic Metal Roofing. Their communication was clear from start to finish and their site management kept everything running smoothly. Everyone we interacted with were friendly and considerate while working at our home, which made the whole process feel easy and stress-free. Overall, we couldn't recommend the Vic Metal Roofing team enough - their work is high quality and we know it will last. They will definitely be our first call if we need any similar work done again.

Common Questions

Roofing in Kew

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

  • Yes, and it is a large part of what we do. It is a bigger job than a metal-to-metal replacement because taking the tiles off changes the load on the roof frame, so it can need engineering input and a building permit. We work out what applies to your house at the inspection.

  • Yes, guttering can be done on its own. If the roof is likely to be replaced within a few years it is usually cheaper to do both at once, because the access equipment and much of the labour overlap.

  • It depends on the size and complexity of the roof, and whether it is a tile conversion. Tile conversions run longer because the tiles have to come off and be carted away and the battens usually need replacing. We put a timeline in the written quote.

  • 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.

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

Roof Replacement and Re-Roofing

Most of the roofs we replace in Kew 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

A leak is not automatically a new roof. Chimney and wall flashings, valleys, penetrations and loose fixings account for most of what we get called out to, and all of it can be repaired on a roof with life left in it. We will tell you which one you have got.

Gutters, Box Gutters and Downpipes

More water gets into houses through the drainage than through the roof itself. Gutters rust out at the joins, box gutters get the falls wrong or were never sized for the area draining into them, and downpipes end up discharging against a wall. We do the whole system, though not gutter cleaning.

Metal Cladding

Cladding puts the same durability you get from a metal roof onto the walls, and it is a common choice on extensions where matching the original brick or weatherboard would never quite work. We install Colorbond steel and architectural materials including zinc, copper and aluminium.

Commercial Roofing

We do as much commercial work as residential, from shop and office roofs through to warehouses and industrial buildings. On an occupied building the job gets staged around the tenants rather than the other way round. Owners, owners corporations and facilities managers all deal with us directly.
