Metal Roofing in Ormond

We are a metal roofing company based in Rowville, and we work throughout Ormond and the rest of the City of Glen Eira. We have over 30 years of roofing experience across the team.

We repair roofs where a repair is worth doing, strip and replace them where it is not, convert tile roofs to Colorbond, and install new roofs on new work. The drainage is renewed along with it, gutters, box gutters and downpipes included.

An older roof reaches a point where replacement is the sensible spend rather than another patch, and we will tell you plainly where yours sits. Contact us for a free quote.

Common Questions

Roofing in Ormond

  • Yes. Ormond is in the City of Glen Eira, which we cover in full, and we are based in Rowville.

  • We stop, show you, and price the repair before we go on. Some allowance for it usually sits in the quote already, because on a roof of a certain age a few damaged battens are likely rather than surprising. What we will not do is sheet over it and leave you with a new roof on bad timber.

  • Yes. We hold the licence for it ourselves and manage compliant disposal, so removal and replacement happen under the one contract. You are not left coordinating an asbestos contractor and a roofer around each other.

  • Yes, sarking goes in as part of a replacement, and insulation where the job calls for it. A lot of older roofs never had either, which is part of why they were noisy and why condensation showed up in the roof space.

  • That is not how we do it. Covering an old roof hides whatever is wrong with the timber and the drainage underneath, and it makes any future repair harder. A strip and rebuild costs more up front and is worth considerably more at the end.

Metal Roofing Services in Ormond

Roof Replacement and Re-Roofing

Once the covering is off, the frame is visible for the first time in decades. Battens that have softened where water has been sitting, a rafter that has taken movement, fixings that have rusted into the timber around them. Those get dealt with while access is easy, and then the new battens, sarking and Colorbond sheets go on over sound structure.

Tile to Metal Conversions

A conversion takes longer than swapping metal for metal, and it is worth knowing that before you plan around it. The tiles have to come off and be carted away, the battens are almost always replaced, and the frame gets assessed properly while it is open. Where the change in load calls for an engineer or a permit, we organise it.

Roof Repairs

Valleys and the junction where a lower roof runs into a wall are the two places we find most often. Both collect water and debris, both rely on a flashing rather than a sheet to stay watertight, and both can be corroded through while the roof either side looks fine. Replacing a valley or a wall flashing is a contained job, and we do not repair or re-point tile roofs.

Gutters, Box Gutters and Downpipes

A gutter that has been sealed at the joints a few times is a gutter at the end of its life, and the sealant is usually hiding rust rather than stopping it. The bigger problem is often behind it, in fascia timber that has stayed wet for years. We replace gutters, fascia and downpipes properly, rebuild box gutters, and leave the cleaning to somebody else.

Metal Cladding

Cladding can go over an existing wall where the substrate is sound, which makes it a practical option on a tired facade or a wall of mixed materials. The battening behind it and the flashings at the edges are what determine whether the wall behind stays dry. We work in Colorbond steel and in architectural zinc, copper and aluminium.

Commercial Roofing

Older industrial and commercial roofs are frequently asbestos cement sheeting, and replacing one means licensed removal and compliant disposal before any new roofing starts. We hold that licence, so both halves are ours. Warehouses, workshops, retail, offices and apartment buildings are all roofs we take on, staged so the building can keep operating.
