Metal Roofing in Elsternwick

We are a metal roofing company based in Rowville, working across Elsternwick and the rest of the City of Glen Eira. The team's combined experience in roofing passes 30 years.

Houses, unit blocks, shops and warehouses all get the same range of work from us: repairs while a roof still has life in it, full replacement and re-roofing when it does not, tile to metal conversions, and new roofs on new work. Gutters, box gutters and downpipes go in as part of it.

On a building that has to keep operating, we stage the job so each section is closed up before the next one opens. Contact us for a free quote.

Why Choose Us

Residential and Commercial Roofing Experience

The same team that re-roofs a single house also works on warehouses and industrial buildings across Victoria. That is unusual at our size, and it is the reason a larger or more complicated roof does not need handing on to somebody else.

The experience behind it adds up to more than 30 years, all of it in metal roofing and roof plumbing. That is what tells us, before a job is quoted, which parts of a roof are going to be the difficult ones.

We are fully licensed and insured, Master Plumbers members, and licensed to remove asbestos roofing and manage compliant disposal, which matters on older commercial buildings in particular. Across 25 Google reviews the work sits at 5.0, and some of those jobs were on the larger end.

    First class-Alex and the team were friendly, professional, and did what they said they would do. Couldn't fault them on our re-roofing project at a community kindergarten.

    My experience dealing with Vic Metal Roofing has been excellent. The company delivers exceptional complete roof renovations with a commitment to detail. No need to waste time getting multiple quotes, this company is very competitive with value and quality for the money. I felt Alex, Ben, Daniel and Liam were always updating me with the staging and were all great to work with. I would highly recommend the company to anyone needing roof care.Happy customer Caroline Russell Briar Hill.

Common Questions

Roofing in Elsternwick

  • Yes. Elsternwick sits within the City of Glen Eira, which is one of the councils we cover in full from our base in Rowville.

  • Yes, and most of the commercial work we do is on buildings that stay open. We take the roof off in sections and make each one weathertight before moving to the next, and we agree the access, the parking and the noisy stages with you before we start.

  • Whoever holds the decision. That is usually the owners corporation or its manager, sometimes an owner directly. We are used to providing the scope in a form a committee can actually vote on.

  • No. We are not a 24 hour emergency service. If a roof is actively letting water in, tell us when you call and we will get to it as soon as the schedule allows, but the honest answer is that our work is booked rather than dispatched.

  • The principle is the same, in that we inspect it first and then put the scope and the price in writing. The difference is that access, safety setup and staging carry more weight in the price on a commercial building than the roof area alone would suggest.

  • The whole of Glen Eira, including Gardenvale, Caulfield, Carnegie, Glen Huntly, Ormond, McKinnon, Bentleigh and Murrumbeena, plus the councils on either side.

Metal Roofing Services in Elsternwick

Roof Replacement and Re-Roofing

On a house a re-roof is a single program of work. On a unit block or a building with tenants it becomes a sequence, because only part of the roof can be open at any one time and somebody underneath is relying on each section being closed before the day ends. We plan the sections, the access and the crane or hoist requirements before the first sheet lifts, and the new Colorbond goes down with new flashings throughout.

Tile to Metal Conversions

Conversions come up on units and townhouses as well as on houses, and on a shared roof the decision belongs to more than one owner. We put the scope, the engineering requirement and the permit position in writing so it can be circulated and voted on rather than explained second hand. The tiles and the old battens leave with us.

Roof Repairs

Repairs are booked work for us rather than a callout, so the useful thing to do is describe what you are seeing when you get in touch. A stain that grows in the rain, a rusted run of sheets, a flashing lifting at a parapet. We will look at it, tell you whether it is worth repairing, and be straight with you if the roof is past the point where another repair makes sense.

Gutters, Box Gutters and Downpipes

Buildings with parapets and internal drainage rely entirely on box gutters, sumps and rainheads doing their job, and there is no edge for the water to escape over if they do not. Sizing, falls and overflow provision are the whole game there. We rebuild box gutters, install rainheads and sumps, and replace conventional guttering and downpipes on houses. Gutter cleaning is not something we do.

Metal Cladding

Cladding does a lot of work on a commercial frontage, where the finish has to look deliberate and then survive with no maintenance. We install Colorbond steel along with zinc, copper and aluminium, and we detail the flashings at openings and parapets so the wall drains rather than holds water.

Commercial Roofing

A shop with a residence above it, an office suite, a warehouse or an apartment building are all roofs we take on. What they have in common is that somebody is underneath and the building has to keep working, so the scope, the staging and the safety setup get settled before anything starts. We report to the owner, the owners corporation or the facilities manager directly.
