Metal Roofing in Lilydale

We are a metal roofing company based in Rowville, and Lilydale is comfortably inside the area we cover. Behind the team is more than 30 years of combined roofing experience.

On a Lilydale property that can mean fixing what is leaking, re-roofing in Colorbond, converting a tile roof to steel, or roofing a new build or extension. Eaves gutters, box gutters, rainheads and downpipes are quoted as part of the roof rather than as another trade.

Houses and commercial buildings come from the same team here, so a block of units gets the same detailing a house does. Contact us to book a comprehensive roof assessment.

Why Choose Us

Why Lilydale Owners Choose Us

Metal roofing and roof plumbing is all we do, and more than 30 years of combined experience is what we bring to it. The flashings and the drainage are where roofs actually fail, so that is where our attention sits.

One job might be a single storey re-roof and the next a commercial roof of several thousand square metres. Working across that range keeps us honest about what a program will really take.

We are licensed and insured, members of Master Plumbers, and licensed to remove asbestos roofing and manage compliant disposal. Owners, owners corporations and facilities managers all deal with us directly, and the work is rated 5.0 across 25 Google reviews.

    I found Ben and Alex on google to redo my gutters, from start to finish they were upfront and honest. They got the job done in no time and I couldn't be happier!

    First class-Alex and the team were friendly, professional, and did what they said they would do. Couldn't fault them on our re-roofing project at a community kindergarten.

    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 Lilydale

  • Yes. Lilydale is in the Shire of Yarra Ranges and sits well inside the area we cover from Rowville. Residential, commercial and industrial roofs all.

  • Yes. Blocks of units and apartment buildings are a regular part of our work, and we deal with owners corporations and building managers as well as individual owners. Tell us how the building is laid out and we will plan the access and the staging around it.

  • Often, yes, though it is a bigger decision on a shared building because the structural change affects the whole roof. The weight coming off the frame can require engineering input and a permit, and we work that out before anything is signed off.

  • A box gutter runs inside the roof line and carries water through the building before it discharges, usually via a rainhead or a sump. An eaves gutter sits on the edge and spills clear. That is why a failed box gutter does far more damage, and why the fall and the sizing matter more than the sealant.

  • Yes. They go in as separate lines so you can see what each part costs and decide the order. Doing both while the access is already up is generally the cheaper path if the roof is due anyway.

  • All of the shire, with Mooroolbark, Chirnside Park, Coldstream and Mount Evelyn immediately nearby, and we work across the adjoining councils as well.

Roof Replacement and Re-Roofing

A roof only works if every part of it drains into the next part properly, which is why a replacement is more than a sheet swap. New ridge and hip cappings, new valleys, new wall and chimney flashings and new gutter transitions all go in together, so the finished roof behaves as one system. Reusing an old flashing to save a little is how a new roof ends up leaking in its first winter. We replace them.

Tile to Metal Conversions

Converting removes several tonnes from the roof frame, and because that is a structural change it can bring in an engineer and a building permit. We establish which applies to your building early, organise it, and do not start ordering until it is settled. The tiles and old battens are carted away, new battens go on, and the roof is sheeted in Colorbond. Where only part of a roof is being converted, the junction between the new and remaining sections is the detail that gets the most care.

Roof Repairs

Flashings account for most of the leaks we are called out to in Lilydale. The step flashing where a lower roof meets a brick wall, the apron below a chimney, and the detail around a parapet all rely on being lapped and fixed correctly rather than sealed. Those can be remade without replacing the roof. What we will not do is take on a repair that cannot hold, and if the roof has reached that point we will tell you straight.

Gutters, Box Gutters and Downpipes

Box gutters are the part of a roof most likely to cause real damage, because they sit inside the building line and discharge through it. Fall, width and rainhead capacity all have to suit the roof area above, and a box gutter that was undersized when it was built will keep overflowing however well it is patched. We replace and repair box gutters, eaves gutters, rainheads and downpipes, and the new guttering is colour matched to the roof where that matters.

Metal Cladding

Cladding comes up on additions and upper levels, where new work has to meet existing brick or render. It also comes up as a replacement job, because older cladding and fibre cement sheeting reach the end of their life the same way a roof does. We install Colorbond steel as well as zinc, copper and aluminium, and we detail the battens and drainage behind the sheets rather than fixing straight onto the substrate.

Commercial Roofing

Retail buildings, offices, consulting suites and apartment blocks all have roofs that cannot be closed for a fortnight. We quote the work in stages, plan deliveries and access around trading hours, and agree the program with the owner, the owners corporation or the facilities manager before anything begins. Sheeting, box gutters, rainheads and downpipes sit in one scope, so there is nobody else to chase when a detail needs deciding.
