Metal Roofing in Silvan

We are a metal roofing company based in Rowville and Silvan is within the area we travel to in the Shire of Yarra Ranges. The team has more than 30 years of combined roofing experience.

The full range applies there. Repairs, replacement and re-roofing in Colorbond, tile to metal conversions, new roofs on builds, extensions and sheds, metal cladding, and the gutters and downpipes.

Houses and larger buildings are quoted by the same team, so a workshop gets the same detailing a house does. Contact us to book a comprehensive roof assessment.

Why Silvan Owners Choose Us

Metal roofing and roof plumbing is the whole business, with more than 30 years of combined experience in it. Because nothing on the roof is outside our scope, there is nobody else to chase when a detail needs deciding.

Houses, sheds, units and commercial buildings all come through here, and the commercial and industrial side takes us Victoria wide. Distance is rarely the deciding factor on whether we quote a job.

What Our Customers Say

  • Dylan Peterson Google Review

    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.

    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.

Common Questions

Roofing in Silvan

  • Yes. Silvan is in the Shire of Yarra Ranges and we travel out to it from Rowville, for houses, sheds and commercial buildings.

  • Yes, and it usually makes sense to. The same crew and the same set up cover both, and each roof is quoted as its own line so you can decide what gets done and in what order.

  • When the fixings have gone and the corrosion is general rather than local. Surface rust on sound sheets is one thing, but once the laps have opened and the sheet ends have perforated, replacing sheets one at a time stops being worth the money.

  • We do. The old sheeting or tiles, the battens and the offcuts all leave with us, and asbestos cement sheeting is taken off under our licence and sent to compliant disposal.

  • Yes. Warehouses, workshops, sheds and retail buildings are a normal part of our work and we travel Victoria wide for the commercial side. We deal with the owner or the facilities manager directly on scope and program.

  • All of the shire, with Monbulk, Mount Evelyn, Wandin North and Seville close by, and we work through the adjoining councils as well.

Roof Replacement and Re-Roofing

A roof that has been patched more than once is usually telling you something, and it is rarely about the patches. Once the laps have opened up and the fixings have let go, the whole covering is working against itself and repairs stop holding. We take it off, deal with what is underneath, and put new Colorbond on with new flashings right through. The old roof and all the offcuts leave the site with us rather than sitting in a pile for weeks.

Tile to Metal Conversions

Carting the tiles away is a job in itself, and it is one people underestimate when they picture a conversion. Several tonnes of tile has to come down, be loaded and be taken off site, and we handle that rather than leaving a stack behind. That weight leaving the frame is also the structural change, which can call for an engineer and a permit before work starts. A conversion runs longer than a metal to metal replacement, and the quote says how long.

Roof Repairs

A repair is the right answer whenever the roof can carry it. Replacing a few corroded sheets, remaking a flashing or renewing a valley gets a sound roof back to watertight for a fraction of a replacement. The thing we are really assessing is whether the rest of the roof will support that work. Fixings get checked at the same time, since perished washers under the screw heads produce leaks that only show in driving rain.

Gutters, Box Gutters and Downpipes

Drainage is sized against the roof, not against what was there before. Verandahs, carports and extensions added over the years push more water into the same gutters and downpipes, and the overflow usually ends up in the eaves rather than over the front. We work out the catchment and size the downpipes to suit it. Gutters, box gutters, rainheads and downpipes are all our work, though clearing debris out of them is not.

Metal Cladding

On sheds, garages and carports cladding is purely practical, and Colorbond matched to the roof makes the building read as one thing. On a house it does something more considered, giving an addition its own finish rather than a near match to the original walls. Zinc, copper and aluminium are available where the material is part of the design. Whatever the sheet, the battens and drainage behind it decide whether the wall stays dry.

Commercial Roofing

Commercial and industrial roofing takes us Victoria wide, so a shed an hour from the yard is ordinary work. The scope, the staging and the price go to the owner or facilities manager in writing before anything starts, because a working site needs to know what happens on which day. Purlin condition, brittle translucent sheets and box gutters that discharge through the building all get quoted up front. The building keeps operating while the roof is replaced in sections.
