Investing in a Steel Roof

A steel roof replacement is an investment in durability and longevity, with an expected lifespan of between 30 and 70 years. Metal roofs need less maintenance and are the recommended upgrade for the demanding Australian climate.
More on COLORBOND Thermal Efficiency

Peace of Mind Guaranteed

Roofrite will ensure that your entire COLORBOND or Zincalume metal roof is fully compliant with Australian plumbing standards and regulations.

Your peace of mind is guaranteed with a Victorian Building Authority (VBA) plumbing compliance certificate, for all metal roof installation projects over $750.

Reroof Cost Considerations

A roof replacement project consists of many different stages and components. Following are some factors that will influence the final cost of the project:
How many square meters of roofing will be replaced?
How many meters of metal battens are needed?
How complex is the roof line? (ridges, valleys, etc.)
Are gutters and downpipes being replaced?
How many meters of flashings and roof cappings are needed?
Will the tile to metal roof replacement be in Zincalume or COLORBOND?
Is scaffold required to meet Worksafe OH&S requirements?
How close can skips be positioned to the house?
Book a free roof inspection, and we will accurately quote your roof replacement project. We can also provide a quick reroof estimate by using MetroMap satellite imaging to survey your roof remotely.

Frequently Asked Reroof Questions

Ask a question about Roof Replacement


What are the weight differences between tile and steel roofs?

Steel roofs, such as Colorbond, are significantly lighter than tile roofs, being up to 90% lighter per square meter. This can reduce the strain on the roof frame and foundations

How do the lifespans of tile and steel roofs compare?

Concrete tile roofs typically last up to 50 years, while metal roofs can last between 30 to 70 years, depending on the quality and maintenance

What are the installation differences and costs?

Installing metal roofs is generally easier and quicker than installing tile roofs, as metal comes in large sheets which covers a larger area per unit installed. While the initial cost of metal roofing can be higher, it typically translates to long-term savings in maintenance and energy efficiency.

Above is a list of considerations that will impact the final cost of your project.

How are steel roofs mounted on existing roof structures?

Tiled roofs rest on a different support structure to metal roofs. Tiles are laid on timber battens, metal roofs are laid on metal battens. When we remove roof tiles we often find that the timber battens have deteriorated and are due to be  replaced.

Should I replace the entire roof at once?

If the existing tile roof is nearing the end of its lifespan (over 40 years), it might be more cost-effective to replace the entire roof with steel. This avoids future expenses and addresses any unseen issues that may cause future leaks.
