When to re-roof
- Widespread rusting, corrosion, or tile fatigue affecting multiple areas
- Chronic leaks despite repeated patching and repairs
- Major renovations where improved insulation, sarking, and a fresh look are desired
- Structural changes requiring modified roof lines or additional load capacity
- Energy efficiency upgrades to reduce heating and cooling costs
- Storm damage that makes replacement more economical than extensive repairs
Material options
We specialize in Colorbond and Zincalume metal re-roofing, as well as tile-to-metal conversions. Modern metal roofing offers superior durability, weather resistance, and lower maintenance compared to traditional materials.
Our installations include proper roof blanket insulation, reflective sarking, and ventilation systems designed for Peninsula conditions. This combination delivers excellent thermal performance and condensation control — crucial for coastal homes.
Our process
We begin with careful removal and disposal of existing roofing materials, followed by thorough inspection of roof framing. Any structural repairs are completed before installing modern sarking, insulation, and the new roofing system.
Each installation includes proper flashings, fixings rated for local wind conditions, and detailed weatherproofing around penetrations. We work systematically to maintain weather protection throughout the project.
Insulation and comfort
A re-roof is the perfect opportunity to upgrade insulation and ventilation. We install bulk insulation (typically R1.8 to R2.5), reflective sarking, and adequate ventilation to create a comfortable, energy-efficient home.
Proper insulation dramatically reduces heat transfer, keeping homes cooler in summer and warmer in winter while reducing rain noise — a common concern with metal roofing.
FAQs
Can we keep living in the home?
Yes — we stage works carefully and make the roof watertight each day. Most families can remain in their homes throughout the process with minimal disruption.
How long does it take?
Most residential re-roofs complete in 2–5 working days depending on size, complexity, and weather conditions. We'll provide a detailed timeline in your quote.
What about council approval?
Most like-for-like replacements don't require permits, but we'll advise on any requirements specific to your property and handle necessary approvals where needed.
