Metal Roofing in Surrey Hills

Metal roofing is our trade and Rowville is our base, with Surrey Hills part of the Boroondara area our crews cover. More than 30 years of combined experience stands behind the work.

We repair what is worth repairing, re-roof what is not, convert tile roofs to Colorbond and install new roofing on additions, on houses and on commercial buildings alike. Gutters, box gutters and downpipes are part of the same scope when the drainage has gone with the roof.

An old roof rarely fails all at once, and patches on one that is going in several places add up faster than people expect. Get a free quote on your roof.

Why Choose Us

From One Re-Roof to a Warehouse Roof

The range of work we take on is the useful thing to know about us. A single re-roof on a house and an industrial roof measured in thousands of square metres run through the same crews, the same suppliers and the same detailing standards.

Metal roofing and roof plumbing is all we do, with more than 30 years of combined experience behind it. That breadth is also why we can be straight about what a roof needs, because there is nothing in it for us in replacing one that wants a repair.

We are licensed and insured, members of Master Plumbers, and licensed for asbestos roof removal and compliant disposal. The Colorbond we install has the manufacturer's warranty behind it, and our Google rating is 5.0 from 25 reviews.

Common Questions

Roofing in Surrey Hills

  • Yes. Surrey Hills is in the City of Boroondara, and we cover every suburb in the council. Our base is Rowville.

  • That is not how we work. Leaving the old covering in place hides whatever is wrong underneath and adds weight to the frame. We strip the roof back so the battens, timbers and sarking can be checked and put right before the new sheeting goes on.

  • The Colorbond steel carries the manufacturer warranty on the finish, and you receive that documentation at handover. Anything else covered on your job is set out in the written agreement before the work starts.

  • It depends how far the rust has gone. Localised corrosion at a valley or a lap is repairable and worth repairing. Once the sheets are failing in several places, the money spent patching over a few years generally passes what a replacement would have cost, and we will show you what we are seeing so you can decide.

  • Yes. Shops, offices, warehouses and factories are a regular part of our work, along with apartment buildings and schools. The job is staged so the building keeps operating, and we deal with owners, owners corporations and facilities managers directly.

  • We do, which takes in Camberwell, Canterbury, Ashburton, Balwyn, Kew, Hawthorn and Deepdene. Our work also runs through Whitehorse, Monash, Stonnington, Glen Eira and Knox.

Roof Replacement and Re-Roofing

A replacement resets the clock on the whole roof rather than one part of it. We strip the old covering off, put right whatever the battens and timbers need, then install Colorbond with new flashings, ridge capping and guttering. Sheeting over the top of an old roof is not something we do, because it hides the problems and adds load to the frame. What you get instead is a written scope, a fixed price and a roof with a warranty behind it.

Tile to Metal Conversions

Tile roofs reach a point where re-bedding and re-pointing stops being worth the money, and because tile repairs are not work we take on, we will say so rather than quote it. Converting to metal takes the weight off the frame, and depending on the house it can require engineering advice and a building permit, which we arrange. The tiles come off and go away, and a Colorbond roof goes on in the colour you choose.

Roof Repairs

Rust rarely starts where you can see it. It begins at the laps, under the fixings and in the valleys where debris holds moisture against the steel, which is how a roof can look sound from the ground and still be letting water in. We repair sheets, valleys, flashings and fixings on roofs worth repairing, and give you a straight answer when a roof has gone past that point.

Gutters, Box Gutters and Downpipes

Guttering usually gives up before the roof does, because water sits in it. Rusted runs, joins that have opened up, falls that send water the wrong way and downpipes discharging against a wall are all things we replace. On commercial buildings the same work applies to box gutters, rainheads and internal downpipes at a different scale. Clearing gutters out is not a service we take on.

Metal Cladding

Cladding puts a roof material onto a wall, which is exactly what you want where a wall takes weather or a finish has had enough of being repainted. We install Colorbond steel and architectural materials including zinc, copper and aluminium, on houses and on commercial frontages. The junctions are detailed as roof plumbing, because that is what keeps water out of them.

Commercial Roofing

Commercial and industrial roofing runs alongside our residential work rather than behind it. That takes in shop and office roofs, apartment buildings, and warehouse and factory roofs where the area runs into thousands of square metres and the drainage is all box gutters. The work is staged so tenants keep trading, and owners, owners corporations and facilities managers deal with us directly.
