Metal Roofing and Roof Plumbing in Cockatoo

From Rowville we cover Cockatoo and the rest of the Shire of Cardinia as metal roofing and roof plumbing specialists. The team has built up more than 30 years of combined experience between them.

We repair roofs, replace them in Colorbond, strip tiles and rebuild in steel, and install new roofs on extensions, garages and sheds. Guttering, box gutters and downpipes are quoted with the roof because they are part of the same system.

What sits under the old covering decides half of any roofing job, which is why the assessment happens on the roof rather than from the ground. Contact us to book a comprehensive roof assessment.

Steel Roofing Specialists Covering Cockatoo

Work ranges from one house re-roof through to warehouse and factory roofs, with commercial jobs taking us Victoria wide. Having seen what goes wrong on large roofs makes us careful about the same details on a small one.

Common Questions

Roofing in Cockatoo

  • Yes. Cockatoo is in the Shire of Cardinia and we work throughout the shire from Rowville. Houses, outbuildings and commercial buildings are all within what we do.

  • The tiles and battens come off and are carted away, the frame is assessed because it is suddenly carrying much less weight, then new battens and new steel go on with new guttering. Because the load changes, an engineer and a building permit are sometimes required, and we organise both.

  • Usually battens that have had their day, sometimes rafters that have been wet for years around a failed flashing, and often no sarking at all. None of it is unusual and all of it is easier to fix while the roof is open, which is why we price the likely work rather than pretending it will not be there.

  • No. We are metal roofing specialists, so re-bedding, re-pointing and tile repairs are not work we do. Replacing a tile roof with Colorbond is, and it is one of our most common jobs.

  • Yes, and it usually makes sense. The access is already in place and much of the labour overlaps, so doing the gutters, fascia and downpipes with the roof costs less than coming back for them later.

  • All of it, with Emerald, Gembrook and Clematis closest. We also cross into the neighbouring Yarra Ranges and Knox council areas, so send an address through if you want it checked.

Roof Replacement and Re-Roofing

Replacing a roof is as much about what is underneath as what goes on top. We strip the old covering, replace battens that have gone soft, deal with any frame timber that has been sitting wet, and only then start laying new Colorbond. Every flashing is new, because reusing an old one is how a brand new roof ends up leaking in the same spot as the last one.

Tile to Metal Conversions

Conversions are a solid share of our work and they are more involved than a metal to metal replacement. Several tonnes of tile coming off changes what the frame carries, so the frame has to be assessed and sometimes certified before the new roof goes on. We handle the engineering and permits, the removal and disposal, and the carpentry that the change calls for.

Roof Repairs

Where a roof has years left, repairing it is the better use of the money. We replace corroded valleys and individual sheets, re-flash chimneys and wall junctions, and reseal penetrations that have dried out and split. If the sheeting itself is thinning across the whole roof, we will tell you that instead of selling another patch.

Gutters, Box Gutters and Downpipes

Gutters are the first part of a roof to rust and the part most likely to put water into a wall. We replace eaves gutters, fascia, downpipes and rainheads, and we rebuild box gutters so the fall and the capacity are right rather than merely watertight. We do not clean gutters, which is a job for your gutter cleaner.

Metal Cladding

Metal cladding is a practical answer where an addition has to meet an older wall and matching materials is either impossible or expensive. In Colorbond it ties into the roof, and in zinc or copper it becomes the feature of the elevation. We install both and detail the junctions where the cladding meets roofing.

Commercial Roofing

We roof commercial and industrial buildings as well as houses, and for that work our range extends across Victoria. Factory units, halls, shops and school buildings bring long sheet runs, box gutters and drainage that has to be sized properly. The job is staged around how the building is used, and the owner or facilities manager deals with us directly.
