Metal roofing can have a higher upfront cost than some tile options, but there are other factors to consider over the life of the roof. COLORBOND® steel requires relatively little ongoing maintenance and removes the need for common tile repairs such as replacing cracked tiles, re-bedding and re-pointing.

The overall cost will depend on your roof size, design and the work required to convert the existing tiled roof to metal.

In most cases, yes. You can usually remain in your home while your metal roof is being replaced, although there will be noise and activity throughout the day. We’ll let you know beforehand if there’s anything you need to be aware of during the work.

Once the existing roofing is removed, we can properly assess the battens and underlying roof structure. If we uncover damage that needs to be repaired before the new roof can be installed, we’ll discuss this with you before carrying out additional work.

Yes. Metal roofing is significantly lighter than concrete or terracotta tiles, which reduces the overall load placed on your home’s roof structure. Replacing it can mean less ongoing stress on the framing and supporting components, particularly in older homes.

If asbestos-containing materials are identified, they need to be safely removed by appropriately licensed professionals before roofing work can continue. We’ll explain what’s required and how this may affect the project before proceeding.
