Metal Roofing in Olinda

We are a metal roofing company based in Rowville, and Olinda is one of the Shire of Yarra Ranges suburbs we work in. The team puts more than 30 years of combined roofing experience into it.

That covers repairs, full replacement and re-roofing in Colorbond, and tile to metal conversions. Roofing on extensions and new builds, metal cladding, and the gutters, box gutters and downpipes are part of it too.

Which of those your roof actually needs comes down to the condition of the fixings and the flashings rather than the look of the sheets. 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 Olinda

  • Yes. Olinda is in the Shire of Yarra Ranges and we travel to it from Rowville. Send us the address and we will book an assessment.

  • The profile and the colour, in that order. Classic corrugated reads traditionally and a concealed fix profile gives a cleaner line with no visible fasteners, and the colour then decides how much the house changes. We bring the options out and hold them against the building before anything is ordered.

  • Because the sheets are rarely the problem. The fixings, the laps, the flashings and the valleys do the work of keeping water out, and they can all be finished while the steel above them still looks sound from the ground.

  • Yes, and we do a lot of it. The weight coming off the frame makes it a structural change, so engineering input and a building permit are sometimes required, and we organise that. It also ends the cycle of re-bedding and re-pointing, since a steel roof has far fewer parts that can fail.

  • No. Cleaning is not a service we run. We install, replace and repair gutters, box gutters, downpipes and rainheads, so if a gutter is overflowing because of its fall or its capacity, that we can fix.

  • The whole shire, with Mount Dandenong, Kalorama, Sherbrooke, Ferny Creek and Monbulk nearby, plus the councils bordering the shire.

Roof Replacement and Re-Roofing

Most replacements start with the same story: a leak, a patch, then another leak somewhere else, and eventually a ceiling stain that keeps coming back. By that stage the laps have opened and the fixings have let go, and patching has become a losing game. We strip the covering, check what is underneath while we can see it, and install new Colorbond with new flashings throughout. The profile and colour get chosen with samples against the house, because the roof is a large part of what you look at.

Tile to Metal Conversions

The strongest case for converting is what it takes off your list. Slipped and cracked tiles, ridge bedding that crumbles, and pointing washing into the gutters all stop being your problem, because a steel roof has far fewer parts that can fail. The tiles and old battens are loaded and carted away rather than left in a pile. The weight leaving the frame is the structural element, and engineering input or a permit is sorted out before anything is ordered.

Roof Repairs

Ridge capping is a quiet offender. It takes the brunt of wind driven rain, the laps between lengths work loose over time, and the fixings holding it down slacken before anything looks wrong from below. Tracing the leak then takes patience, because water runs along a batten and across a rafter before it drops, so the stain is often metres from the entry point. We find the source before quoting anything.

Gutters, Box Gutters and Downpipes

Gutters are part of the roof, and on an older house they are usually the part closest to the end of its life. Rust shows at the joins first, then wherever the fall has flattened out and water sits. We replace the gutter along with the fascia cover and brackets so the new work has something solid to hold, and we size the downpipes against the roof area above. Where a roof is being replaced too, doing both at once means setting up only once.

Metal Cladding

Cladding is the same steel as a roof applied to a wall, and it brings the same lifespan with it. On extensions and second storeys that makes it a practical finish, and it lets new work sit beside old work deliberately rather than nearly matching it. We install Colorbond most often, with zinc, copper and aluminium available where the material is part of the design. Behind the sheets, the battens and drainage are what keep the wall dry, and they get the same attention as a roof detail.

Commercial Roofing

Shops, offices and small commercial buildings need the work done without closing the business, so the staging is the part that gets the most thought. We replace sheeting in sections, keep access and deliveries clear of trading hours where possible, and close the roof at the end of each day. The owner, owners corporation or facilities manager deals with us directly. Sheeting, flashings, box gutters and downpipes all sit in the one scope.
