Metal Roofing in Blackburn

We are a metal roofing and roof plumbing company based in Rowville, and we work throughout Blackburn and the rest of the City of Whitehorse. We have more than 30 years of combined roofing experience in the team.

Our work on Blackburn homes runs from repairs, a leaking flashing or a corroded valley, up to a full replacement in Colorbond and tile to metal conversions. New roofs on extensions come under the same umbrella, and the guttering and downpipes are renewed with the roof when they need it.

Every job starts with a free inspection, because the only way to price a roof honestly is to get on it and look. Contact us for a free quote.

What Our Customers Say

  • Marika Cominos Google Review

    I recently had a portion of my roof replaced by VIC Metal Roofing and the guys did a top notch quality job. When I was looking for a roofer, I met with quite a few businesses until I found one that I could feel would deliver with quality and care. When I met Alex who came and did the quote it was clear that his business would deliver. The integrity stood out a mile from other businesses. Not only did they deliver quality, they responded without question to remedy a few small things and were able to fit me in earlier than originally scheduled. Communication with Alex was great with quick responses from start to finish. I would definitely recommend these guys if you are considering a new roof.

Common Questions

Roofing in Blackburn

  • Yes. Blackburn is in the City of Whitehorse, one of the areas we cover from our base in Rowville. Give us the address and tell us what the roof is doing and we will arrange a look at it.

  • It is the question we are asked most, and it is not one to answer from the ground. We get on the roof, look at the condition of the sheets, the flashings and the fixings, and tell you what we found. If a repair will hold, we will say so.

  • No. We do not repair or re-point tiles, because metal roofing and roof plumbing is all we do. What we can do is replace a tile roof with Colorbond steel, which is a large part of our work.

  • Nothing. The inspection is free and there is no obligation afterwards. If you decide to go ahead, the scope and the price go to you in writing first.

  • No, we are not a 24 hour emergency service, and repairs are booked in as scheduled work. If water is coming in now, contact us and we will tell you the soonest we can get someone there to assess it.

  • All of them. Box Hill, Mitcham, Nunawading and Forest Hill are in the same service area, and we work across the neighbouring councils as well.

Roof Replacement and Re-Roofing

A replacement is the right call when the sheets have corroded through, the fixings have lost their grip, or the same section has been patched more than once. We strip the old covering, check the frame and battens while they are exposed, and lay new Colorbond with fresh flashings throughout. One price covers the whole thing, and it is agreed before we start.

Tile to Metal Conversions

Still got the original tiles? Moving to metal is a decision worth making once rather than chasing cracked tiles year after year. We do not repair or re-point tiles, so what we quote is the conversion: tiles and battens off and carted away, frame assessed, new steel roof on. Engineering input and a permit are sometimes needed, and we sort out which at the inspection.

Roof Repairs

Plenty of roofs we inspect have years left in them and need a repair rather than a rebuild. Failed flashings, a rusted valley, split penetrations around a flue or a vent, and tired fixings cover most of what causes a leak. We will tell you which of those you have, and whether spending money on it makes sense.

Gutters, Box Gutters and Downpipes

Water that cannot get away does more damage than water coming through a sheet. Rusted gutter joins, box gutters that have lost their fall, and downpipes undersized for the roof above are the faults we find most often. We repair and replace gutters, box gutters, downpipes and rainheads, either on their own or with a new roof. We do not clean gutters.

Metal Cladding

Cladding does for a wall what a roof sheet does for the top of the house, and it is usually an extension or a rebuild that raises the question. Matching new brickwork to old rarely works, so cladding the new part in steel is often the better looking answer. We install Colorbond as well as zinc, copper and aluminium.

Commercial Roofing

We are not only on houses. Shops, offices, schools, warehouses and apartment blocks in Blackburn have the same roofs and gutters at a larger scale, usually with people underneath who cannot stop for a week. We quote the work in stages, and we deal with owners, owners corporations and facilities managers directly.
