Roof Replacement and Repairs in Glen Iris

We are a metal roofing and roof plumbing company working throughout Glen Iris from our base in Rowville. Roofing is the only trade we work in, and the team has more than 30 years of experience between them.

That covers the whole range on a Glen Iris home. A leaking flashing or a corroded valley can be repaired, a roof that has rusted through is better replaced, and a tile roof can come off and go back on in Colorbond. Gutters, box gutters and downpipes are part of the same job.

Which of those your roof needs is something we work out from up on the roof rather than from the ground, and the inspection costs nothing. Contact us for a free quote.

    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 Glen Iris

  • Yes. Glen Iris is one of the City of Stonnington suburbs on our list, and we work through the council area regularly from Rowville. We are not a 24 hour emergency service, so we book inspections in rather than turning out overnight.

  • We look at where the water is actually getting in, how much corrosion has spread through the sheets and fixings, and what condition the flashings and gutters are in. A roof with isolated problems and sound sheeting is worth repairing. A roof rusting through in several places is money better spent on a replacement.

  • It comes down to the roof area, the pitch, how hard the roof is to access, and whether it is a metal to metal replacement or a tile conversion. We do not price from a photograph. You get a fixed written figure once we have been up there.

  • If the panels sit on the section of roof being replaced then yes, they come off and go back on afterwards. We factor that into the quote rather than leaving it as a surprise, and the panel work is coordinated with your installer where that is needed.

  • We replace tile roofs with metal, which is one of our main jobs. What we do not do is repair or re-point tiles, so if the plan is to keep the tile roof you will need a tiler rather than us.

  • The rest of Stonnington, which is Armadale, Kooyong, Malvern, Prahran, South Yarra, Toorak and Windsor, plus Boroondara, Monash, Whitehorse, Glen Eira and Knox around it.

Roof Replacement and Re-Roofing

Once a roof has been patched a few times, each repair buys less time than the one before it. A replacement resets the whole system, because the sheets, flashings, cappings and fixings all go on new together. We work through what is under the old covering before it closes up again, then hand the roof over with a Colorbond warranty behind it.

Tile to Metal Conversions

Homeowners tired of cracked and slipped tiles often ask about metal, and the swap is one of the bigger improvements you can make to a house. Removing tiles takes weight off the frame, which is why the job can need engineering advice and a permit. We sort out what applies at your place and organise the carpentry, the paperwork and the new roof as one piece of work.

Roof Repairs

A repair is the right call more often than people expect. Corroded valleys, lifted ridge capping, split flashings around a chimney or a vent, and loose or missing fixings are all fixable without touching the rest of the roof. We give you the honest version, including when a repair is only a stopgap.

Gutters, Box Gutters and Downpipes

Water marks on a ceiling or a wall are not always coming from the roof itself. Gutters split at the joins, box gutters back up when the fall or the sump is wrong, and a downpipe discharging against brickwork will eventually show up inside. We assess the drainage as part of the inspection and replace or repair whatever is failing.

Metal Cladding

Cladding is worth considering whenever a wall needs a new finish that will last as long as the roof. It works particularly well on a rear extension or an upper level, where a change of material reads as a deliberate choice. We install Colorbond steel plus architectural options including zinc, copper and aluminium.

Commercial Roofing

We also work on larger roofs, from warehouses and factories through to schools, shops and apartment buildings. Those jobs bring access and staging questions that a house does not, and we plan them so the building keeps running. If you manage a property in the area, we can inspect and quote it the same way we would a home.
