Metal Roofing in Healesville

We are a metal roofing company based in Rowville, and Healesville is part of the Shire of Yarra Ranges that we travel out to. More than 30 years of combined experience in roofing stands behind the work.

The full range comes with us. Repairs where a roof is still worth repairing, replacement and re-roofing in Colorbond where it is not, tile to metal conversions, new roofs on builds and extensions, and the guttering and downpipes that belong to all of it.

Because it is a drive rather than a trip around the corner, we plan the job so the work runs in a proper sequence once we are on site. Contact us to book a comprehensive roof assessment.

What Our Customers Say

  • Avan Barker Google Review

    Alex, Ben and Daniel are fantastic to work with. We recently had a full roof replacement done, including the installation of 10 skylights, and couldn't be happier with the result. The quality of their workmanship really stood out; everything was done neatly and professionally. The skylights were fitted perfectly, and the whole roof looks fantastic. You can tell these guys take real pride in their work and pay attention to the details that matter.

Common Questions

Roofing in Healesville

  • Yes. Healesville is in the Shire of Yarra Ranges, which we cover from Rowville, and for commercial and industrial work we travel Victoria wide. Send us the address and we will book a time.

  • In continuous runs rather than odd days. We program the work so the crew and the materials arrive together and the roof is not sitting half open while we are somewhere else. The dates go in the quote.

  • It all leaves with us. Tiles are loaded and carted away, old metal sheeting goes with the rest of the waste, and asbestos cement sheeting is removed under our licence and taken to compliant disposal.

  • Often not. Downpipes get sized for the roof that existed when the house was built, and an extension or a verandah added later can push more water into the same pipe. We check the roof area against the drainage when we assess the roof.

  • Yes. Shops, warehouses, factories and community buildings are a regular part of our work, and we stage the job so the place can keep operating. We deal with the owner or the facilities manager directly on the scope and the program.

  • Every suburb in the shire, with Yarra Glen, Coldstream, Woori Yallock and Launching Place among those closest, and we work across the neighbouring councils too.

Roof Replacement and Re-Roofing

The thing that makes a replacement feel manageable is knowing how it will be sequenced. We work in sections, strip only as much as can be re-covered, and close the roof off at the end of each day so the house is never left exposed overnight. Materials are ordered and delivered before the crew starts rather than mid job. Colour lead times are the one thing we cannot compress, so that gets built into the dates in the quote.

Tile to Metal Conversions

The maths on a tile roof eventually stops working. Re-bedding and re-pointing buys a few years, then the same job comes around again, and each round costs money without changing what the roof is. Converting to steel replaces the whole weatherproofing system instead, and it is work we do regularly. The tiles and battens are carted away, the frame is assessed for the weight coming off it, and the new roof goes on with new guttering.

Roof Repairs

The first thing to establish on a leak is where the water is actually getting in, which is almost never directly above the stain. Water lands on a sheet, runs down a batten, crosses a rafter and drops wherever gravity decides, sometimes metres from the entry point. That is why a leak that only shows up in driving rain is worth investigating properly rather than guessing at. We work back from the inside to the outside until the source is found.

Gutters, Box Gutters and Downpipes

Guttering gets judged on appearance and should be judged on capacity. A gutter and downpipe set that handled the original roof can be well short once a verandah, a carport or an extension has been added, and the overflow ends up in the eaves. We work the drainage out against the roof area rather than matching what was there. Gutters, box gutters, downpipes and rainheads all come under that, but cleaning them does not.

Metal Cladding

Metal cladding is most useful where maintaining a painted wall is awkward, which usually means upper levels, additions and anything hard to reach. It also lets a new part of a building sit beside the old part honestly instead of pretending to match it. We install Colorbond steel, and zinc, copper and aluminium where the finish is the point. Shopfronts and commercial facades are part of the same work.

Commercial Roofing

Commercial roofing takes us right across Victoria, so distance is not the deciding factor on whether we quote a job. Warehouses, factories, retail buildings and community halls all get the same approach: the sheeting is replaced in sections, the roof is weathertight each evening, and the trading or operating hours shape the program. On large roofs the box gutters and rainheads usually need as much attention as the sheets, and they are quoted in the same scope.
