The end-of-life answer

Metal Roof Replacement

When a roof is genuinely done, we strip it to the battens and rebuild it in Colorbond: new sarking, new screws, the right steel grade for your distance from the surf, and a fixed price set before the first sheet comes off.

Scope

What this job includes.

  • Full strip and re-roof in Colorbond or Zincalume
  • Tile-to-metal conversions, battens corrected for the lighter deck
  • Coastal ultra-grade steel where the salt demands it
  • New sarking, flashings, valleys and fasteners throughout
  • Old roof carted off site and recycled
Our system: The steel grade and colour are named in the quote, and the manufacturer warranty is registered to you at handover, so both layers of cover are live from day one.
How we quote it

On the roof first, then a fixed price.

No driveway guesses. We climb the roof, photograph what is failing, and put the scope, the materials and the price in writing before any work starts.

The 7-line quote
  1. 1 The inspection report. Photos from on your roof showing exactly what is failing and what is still sound. Not a guess from the driveway.
  2. 2 The fix, itemised. Materials by name (the Colorbond colour, the membrane brand, the screw class) and labour for the whole job. No "from" pricing.
  3. 3 The edges of the job. What is not included, named up front: gutters, skylights, solar removal and reinstatement. No surprise lines later.
  4. 4 The guarantee. 10-year workmanship in writing, plus the manufacturer warranty on sheets, tiles or membrane registered to you.
If a quote doesn’t show these lines, you can’t compare it, and you don’t know what’s been cut.

The paperwork behind the price.

Public liability to $20M, and a 10-year workmanship warranty, all in writing, all on request.

Roofing work over $5,000 and all roof plumbing must be done by a licensed contractor in NSW, and our licence number is on every quote so you can check it on the Fair Trading register. Public liability cover protects your home and your neighbours if anything goes wrong at height, and the workmanship guarantee means if something we installed fails, we come back and put it right, in writing, for a decade.

The cover, the guarantee, and how to check each one.

Questions, answered

Metal Roof Replacement: common questions.

How long does a full metal re-roof take?
Most average homes take 3 to 5 days on the roof, weather permitting. We never strip more than we can re-sheet and weatherproof the same day, so an open roof never sits exposed overnight.
Is Colorbond worth it over repairing my old tiles again?
If the repair quotes keep stacking up, usually yes. A tile-to-metal conversion drops tonnes of dead weight off the frame, ends the cracked-tile cycle, and carries the maker warranty plus our 10-year workmanship. The inspection report tells you honestly which side of the line your roof is on.
What happens to my solar panels during a re-roof?
They come off and go back on as a named line in the quote, handled with a licensed electrician for the disconnect and reconnect. We flag it at the inspection so it is never a surprise cost.
