Roof Replacement and Repairs in Bentleigh

We are a metal roofing company based in Rowville, and we work throughout Bentleigh and the suburbs around it. More than 30 years of combined roofing experience sits behind the team.

The work runs the full range, from a single failed flashing or a corroded sheet up to stripping a roof back and rebuilding it in Colorbond, tile to metal conversions included. Guttering and downpipes get replaced in the same visit where they need it.

Whether a repair is the sensible spend or the roof has reached the end of its life, you get that answer on the day we inspect it. Contact us for a free quote.

Why Choose Us

Why Bentleigh Homeowners Call Us

Metal roofing and roof plumbing is the only work we take on, so the sheets, the flashings and the drainage are one trade rather than three handovers. Between us that adds up to more than 30 years in the trade.

The same crew re-roofs single suburban houses and warehouses, so very little turns up once an old covering is off that we have not already dealt with. Bentleigh and the rest of Glen Eira sit inside our normal working area.

We are fully licensed and insured, we are members of Master Plumbers, and we hold our own licence to remove asbestos roofing and manage compliant disposal. 25 customers have left us a Google review and the rating sits at 5.0.

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 Bentleigh

  • Yes. Bentleigh sits in the City of Glen Eira, one of the councils we work across regularly. We are based in Rowville and cover the surrounding suburbs from there.

  • Not necessarily. Where the corrosion is confined to one run of sheets and the rest still has years in it, a repair is the better spend. We get up on the roof and look before saying either way, and you get that answer at the inspection.

  • It comes down to the size and shape of the roof, whether metal or tile is coming off, and the condition of the frame and the drainage underneath. We inspect it at no charge and then send a fixed written quote setting out the scope and the price.

  • No, gutter cleaning is not something we take on. We install, replace and repair gutters, box gutters and downpipes, so if a gutter is rusted or badly sized rather than simply blocked, that is our work.

  • Colorbond steel is made for Australian roofs and comes with a manufacturer backed warranty, which we hand over with the paperwork at the end. How long any roof lasts also depends on the detailing around the flashings and penetrations, which is the part we spend the most care on.

  • All of the City of Glen Eira, including McKinnon, Ormond, Murrumbeena and Carnegie, and we work across the neighbouring councils as well.

Metal Roofing Services in Bentleigh

Roof Replacement and Re-Roofing

Rust does not stay where it started. It creeps along the laps and around the fixings, so a roof that needed one patch two winters ago tends to need three now. There is a point where the money going into repairs would have been better spent on a new roof, and the inspection is where we tell you whether you have reached it. A replacement puts down new Colorbond sheets with new flashings and new fixings throughout.

Tile to Metal Conversions

Taking tiles off a house and putting steel on changes how much weight the roof frame is carrying, which is why a conversion is a bigger piece of work than swapping metal for metal. It can need engineering input and a building permit, and we arrange both rather than handing you a list of phone calls. The old tiles come off and go away as part of the job, and the battens are replaced where they need it.

Roof Repairs

Most of the repairs we do on metal roofs come down to three things: sheets that have corroded in one section, flashings that have pulled away from a wall, and fixings that have backed out over thirty years of expansion. All of those are fixable without touching the rest of the roof. We do not repair or re-point tile roofs, so if that is what is above you, replacement is the honest answer.

Gutters, Box Gutters and Downpipes

A gutter that cannot carry what the roof sheds sends water over the back edge and into the wall instead of out to the street. Undersized runs, rusted joints and downpipes that were never enough for the roof area all do the same damage quietly. We replace guttering and downpipes, size them properly for the roof above them, and rebuild box gutters with the falls they should have had. Cleaning gutters is not part of what we do.

Metal Cladding

Cladding brings the same steel and the same detailing down onto a wall. It is a common answer on an extension, where trying to match the brick on the original house only ever gets you close rather than right. We install Colorbond steel and architectural materials including zinc, copper and aluminium, and we flash it properly into the roof above.

Commercial Roofing

Alongside houses we roof shops, offices, apartment buildings, warehouses and industrial sheds. The roofing itself is familiar; what changes is that the building usually has to keep operating while the work happens. We stage the job so sections come off and go back on in order, and we work directly with the owner, the owners corporation or the facilities manager.
