Metal Roofing and Roof Plumbing in Burwood

Our yard is in Rowville and we roof homes right across Burwood. Metal roofing and roof plumbing is the only trade we work in, with more than 30 years of combined experience behind the crew.

We repair damaged sheets and failed flashings, re-roof houses in Colorbond, convert tile roofs to metal and install roofs on new work. Guttering and downpipes are renewed with the roof where they have gone the same way.

On an established home the roof and the drainage tend to reach the end of their life together, which is why we look at both before pricing anything. Contact us for a free quote.

Why Choose Us

A Roofing and Roof Plumbing Specialist in Burwood

Roofing is the only trade we work in, and we are licensed roof plumbers as well as roofers. That puts the flashings, box gutters and downpipes in our scope rather than a subcontractor's, so the whole roof stays one contract.

More than 30 years of combined experience covers everything from a single suburban re-roof to commercial and industrial roofs around the state. That range is what lets us quote a Burwood roof on what it will actually take.

Full licences and insurance, Master Plumbers membership and our own asbestos removal licence are all in place. Colorbond steel comes with manufacturer backed warranties, and our Google rating sits at 5.0 across 25 reviews.

  • Sarah Google Review

    We recently had the roof and guttering of our older two story weatherboard home replaced by Ben and Alex from Vic Metal Roofing, due to water leaks. The entire project was completed to a very high standard, and the results exceeded our expectations. Ben and Alex provided quality workmanship and clear communication, explaining all the issues and solutions in detail from the initial quote through to completion. Based on our experience, we highly recommend Vic Metal Roofing.

Common Questions

Roofing in Burwood

  • Yes. Burwood sits in the City of Monash and we work right through the council area from our base in Rowville. Get in touch with the address and we will book a time.

  • Yes. Guttering, downpipes and fascia can all be done as a job on their own. If the roof is likely to need replacing within a few years, doing both together usually costs less, because the access equipment and a good share of the labour are shared.

  • No, cleaning is not work we take on. We install, replace and repair guttering. If a gutter is overflowing because it has failed rather than because it has filled up, that is something we can assess.

  • A box gutter runs inside the roof line rather than along the eave, often between two roof planes or behind a parapet wall. They fail when the fall is too flat, the sump or downpipe is undersized, or the lining has corroded. Because they sit within the building, a failure puts water inside rather than over the edge.

  • It depends on the size and shape of the roof, and whether tiles have to come off first. Tile conversions run longer because the tiles are carted away and the battens usually need replacing. We put a timeline in the written quote and confirm the dates before the crew arrives.

  • We cover the whole City of Monash, including Ashwood, Chadstone, Clayton, Glen Waverley, Hughesdale, Huntingdale, Mount Waverley, Mulgrave, Notting Hill, Oakleigh and Wheelers Hill, and we work across the neighbouring councils too.

Roof Replacement and Re-Roofing

When we quote a replacement in Burwood the drainage is priced with it rather than left as an extra. Gutters and downpipes on an established home are usually the same age as the covering above them, and once the scaffold is up the marginal cost of doing both is small. The old roof comes off, the framing and battens are checked, then new Colorbond goes on with the flashings, gutters and downpipes all new.

Tile to Metal Conversions

Coming off tile changes the drainage as well as the roof. Tiles sit higher than sheet metal, so the gutter line, the valleys and every wall junction get reworked as part of the conversion rather than reused. Taking the weight off the frame can need engineering input and a permit, which we organise before the tiles come down.

Roof Repairs

A surprising share of the leaks we are called to are drainage faults rather than roof faults. Water backing up behind a blocked or sagging gutter finds the back edge, runs down the fascia and shows up on a ceiling several metres away from where it started. We trace it to the source first, then repair the sheets, flashings or guttering that are actually at fault.

Gutters, Box Gutters and Downpipes

This is the part of the roof we get asked about most, and the part most often undersized. A long gutter run with one downpipe at the end will overflow in heavy rain no matter how new it is, and a downpipe discharging onto a paved surface beside a wall causes its own damage. We replace gutters, box gutters, downpipes, rainheads, overflows and fascia, and size the whole system for the roof feeding it. Cleaning is not something we take on.

Metal Cladding

Cladding and roofing use the same materials and the same detailing, so we supply both in Colorbond steel as well as zinc, copper and aluminium. On a renovation it lets an addition read as new work rather than an attempt to copy the original walls. Where cladding meets a roof or a gutter, the flashing at that junction matters as much as the panels themselves.

Commercial Roofing

Alongside the houses we roof shops, offices, apartment buildings and industrial units. Owners corporations bring us in when a common property roof or box gutter has started leaking into units below, which is a job that needs staging and clear communication as much as sheet metal. We deal with the committee, the manager or the owner directly and set out what happens on each day of the work.
