Frequently asked questions
Australia’s climate is diverse, so the right roofing material depends on your location and weather conditions. Common materials include:
• Colorbond Steel: Ideal for coastal areas due to its corrosion resistance and durability.
• Zincalume: Another popular steel roofing option known for strength and resistance to the elements. We can recommend the best material for your home depending on your location, budget, and design preferences.
In Australia, due to the harsh weather conditions (intense sun, heavy rain, or strong winds), we recommend:
• Annual inspections to catch any early signs of damage or wear.
• Post-storm inspections to check for any immediate damage caused by extreme weather events. Regular maintenance can extend the life of your roof and prevent costly repairs down the line.
Signs your roof may need repair or replacement include: • Leaks or water stains inside your home • Missing, cracked, or broken roof tiles • Rusted or corroded metal roofing • Sagging rooflines • Blocked gutters or debris buildup • Higher energy bills (due to insulation issues) If you see any of these signs, contact us for a professional assessment.
Generally, roof repairs and restorations don't need council approval. However, significant structural changes like full roof replacements or extensions might require it. We can help with advice and paperwork if needed.
The cost of a roof replacement depends on several factors: • Size and pitch of your roof • Type of materials used (e.g., Colorbond, Trimdek, Kliplok, Custom orb) • Labour costs • Any structural repairs needed We provide free quotes, so you'll know the exact cost before we start.
The lifespan of your roof depends on the material: • Colorbond Steel: 30–50 years with proper maintenance • Terracotta or Concrete Tiles: 50+ years • Zincalume: 30–45 years Regular maintenance can extend your roof's life.
To get your roof ready for storm season: • Clean gutters and downpipes for proper water flow. • Check for loose or damaged tiles or sheets. • Have a professional inspection before storm season to address potential issues. We offer pre-storm inspections to help protect your home from severe weather.
