Metal Roofs Rarely Fail In The Middle Of A Sheet
Colorbond is a genuinely tough product. Left to itself in the middle of a roof plane, a sheet will sit there doing its job for forty years without complaint.
What fails is the detailing. Valleys cut short, flashings relying on sealant instead of being formed and lapped, sheets run at a shallower pitch than the profile allows, fixings landing in the wrong place. Every one of those is invisible from the ground and every one of them will leak eventually.
Metal roofing is the bulk of what we do, and it is where 12 years of doing it properly shows up. We set the roof out, form the flashings, and get the parts right that nobody but another roof plumber would ever notice.

Roof Plumbers, Not General Builders With A Nail Gun
Metal roofing sits under the plumbing licence in Victoria for a reason. Getting it right means understanding drainage, fall, thermal movement and how a sheet behaves when the sun hits it, not simply fixing panels down.
That is our trade and our focus. We work with metal every week, we know which profile suits which pitch, and we know where a roof will let go if the detailing is wrong.
- Licensed roof plumbers specialising in metal roofing
- Correct profile chosen for your roof pitch and span
- Flashings formed and lapped, never relying on sealant alone
- Installed to Australian Standards and the manufacturer's warranty terms
- Swarf swept and gutters cleared before we leave

Melbourne Homeowners On Our Metal Roofing
- Amanda Cunningham Home Owner
Absolutely brilliant to deal with, prompt, efficient, knowledgeable, and his workmanship is amazing. We would definitely recommend Michael and we will be using his services again on some future projects.
Google - Michael B Home Owner
We recently bought our house, which was only five years old, and unfortunately discovered extensive roof issues that had not been built to Australian standards. After speaking with several roofers, Michael came across as the most professional and helpful. He was prompt, meticulous, and I couldn't recommend him more highly.
Google - Aleksandar Andonov Home Owner
The team was professional and detail-oriented from start to finish. They replaced my old tile roof with a new tin roof, restored damaged areas, and installed new fascia and gutters. Their work quality is outstanding, and they completed everything on time and within budget.

Metal Roofing Questions
It comes down to the area of the roof, the pitch, how hard it is to get materials up there, and how much flashing work the shape of the roof demands. A simple gable is far cheaper per square metre than a cut up roof with multiple valleys and dormers. Contact us for a free quote.
A well installed Colorbond roof in a normal suburban Melbourne environment will typically give you decades of service with very little maintenance. Coastal and industrial areas are harsher on steel, and there are marine grade products for those locations. The install quality matters as much as the product.
Far less than people expect. A modern metal roof over sarking and insulation batts is quiet inside. The reputation comes from old uninsulated sheds and verandahs where the steel is the only thing between you and the weather.
Usually, if the profile is still in production and the colour is a current one. Older roofs will have faded, so brand new sheets can look slightly different next to twenty year old ones even in the same colour. We will tell you upfront if a patch is going to be noticeable.
Each profile has a minimum pitch. Standard corrugated needs more fall than a trapezoidal or standing seam profile, and going below the minimum is one of the most common causes of leaks we get called to. We check the pitch first and specify a profile that suits it.
We work across Melbourne's South East, from Cranbourne and Pakenham through to Frankston and the Mornington Peninsula. Have a look at our areas we serve page, or call 0478 831 069 and we will let you know.
A Closer Look At Metal Roofing In Melbourne
Colorbond Roofing
Colorbond gives you a steel roof with a baked on finish that holds its colour for decades and does not need painting. The colour range runs from Surfmist through to Monument and Basalt, and the choice makes a real difference to how the whole house reads from the street.
Colour also affects heat. Lighter colours reflect more, which matters on a Melbourne summer afternoon, particularly on a low pitch roof over living areas. We will talk you through what suits your home, and you can try the full range on a roof using our roof visualiser before you decide.

On a new build, extension, garage or carport, the roof is one of the few elements that has to be right first time. Once the sheets are down and the ceiling is lined, fixing a set out mistake means pulling the whole thing apart.
We set out from the ridge, check the frame is square and in plane before a sheet goes on, and work the sheet widths so you are not finishing on an awkward sliver at the last rib. Battens are checked for spacing against the profile and the wind rating for the site.

Plenty of metal roofs that look finished from the ground have years left in them. Surface rust at a lap, a handful of failed screws, a sheet lifted in a storm, or a valley that has corroded through are all repairable without touching the rest of the roof.
We will tell you honestly which side of the line your roof sits on. If a repair gets you another decade, that is what we will quote. If the coating has gone across the whole roof and you will be calling us back every winter, we will say that too.
Full Details On Metal Roof RepairsMetal Roof Flashing
Flashings are where roofs leak. Anywhere the roof meets a wall, a chimney, a parapet, a valley or a penetration, water has to be redirected back onto the sheet, and that only works if the flashing is formed with the right laps, upstands and cover.
The shortcut is a strip of flat metal held on with silicone. It looks fine for two summers, then the sealant lets go and the water goes straight into the wall cavity. We form flashings out of matching Colorbond and fix them so they do the job mechanically.

A skylight transforms a dark hallway, bathroom or kitchen, and on a metal roof it is a straightforward job when it is flashed in correctly. Modern units come with a purpose made flashing kit matched to the roof profile.
Cutting a hole in a perfectly good roof is only a good idea if the person doing it knows how to make it watertight again. We install and flash skylights into metal roofs so the opening sheds water the same way the rest of the roof does.
