TILE TO METAL ROOF REPLACEMENT SPECIALISTS

Roofrite are metal and Colorbond roofing plumbers which makes us specialists in our field. We regularly replace tiled roofs with metal Zinc, Gal or Colorbond roofing for clients located in Melbourne's inner suburbs.

A tile to metal roof replacement is a transformative process for our clients' and their homes. As you can imagine, it requires well thought out planning and the execution itself to be well managed.

CHANGING THE ROOF'S SUPPORT - ROOF BATTENS

Tiled roofs have a different supporting structure to metal roofs. Tiles are laid on timber battens, metal roofs usually are laid on metal battens. We often find when we remove the roof tiles that the timber battens have deteriorated and are ready for replacement.

ROOF REPLACEMENT

When discussing a tile to metal roof replacement with our client, we are often asked if we will remove all of the roof in one go. The short answer is NO! Melbourne's weather is far too unpredictable to do this. Typically we remove only the tiles we can comfortably replace with metal roofing for the day. Tarps are always on hand as well to ensure we leave the property water tight at the end of each day.

INSULATION

If you don't have insulation, it's a great time to have insulation batts installed. If you've had the old blow in insulation, it's also a good time to have it vacuumed out and replaced with new batts. The difference will be noticeable.

WHAT WILL IT COST FOR A TILE TO METAL ROOF REPLACEMENT?

There is no definitive answer we can give over the phone to this question. The reason being that there are many variables that will affect the price:

how close to the edge of the dwelling can we get skips?
how many metres of metal roofing battens are required?
how many square metres of roofing is to be replaced?
what is the complexity of the roof line, eg how many ridges, valleys?
are we replacing the guttering as well? and downpipes?
how many metres of flashings and roof capping do we require?
will the tile to metal roof replacement be in Zincalume or Colorbond?
do we require scaffold to meet Worksafe OH&S requirements?

Clearly, the question of cost can only be answered with a roofing quotation. We can often have a look on NearMaps or Google Earth to give you a ball park figure. If it's within budget and you are wanting to proceed, we can schedule a site measure to firm up the price.

    After spending ages sifting through reviews online as well as listing the job on a website, I finally found a decent business to replace rusted box guttering as well as repair a separate roof leak next to the Air conditioning unit. When it rained hard enough, water would pour into the ceiling and exit through the downlights.

After dealing with some of the "cowboys"out there, (some even had good reviews), my opinion has been that if they can come around at short notice and want cash with no paperwork, then avoid at all costs. I'm a few hundred dollars lighter for this life experience. Some didn't even bother to call back.

Fortunately I found Roofrite. The whole process was well managed from start to finish. Someone did the quote with an estimated start date as well as ensuring the dimensions of the new gutter would comply with building code. Then someone else came to measure up the job. The tradies arrived on the date they said they would and did the job, to a very high standard and took away the old Guttering. Finally the office sent me photos taken of the job and a VBA certificate.

I can definitely recommend these people who were very professional and friendly. I no longer need to race for the buckets when there is a downpour!

Update

I was waiting for a really bad storm to hit before doing a follow up review to my original August 2022 post above. Well we got that recently. I am happy to report that after the morning storm that hit Melbourne last week there were no leaks. Excellent quality workmanship is all I can say.

    We had a large job to replace existing boxed in gutters, fix leaks and replace asbestos lining. The team at Roofrite did a great job to sorry out all the issues, even the ones found after starting the job. They kept us informed of start dates, progress and any issues found. Communication from all of the team was exceptional. We feel like we have had a very high quality job done and feel assured if we have any issues, we can call them to come back anytime. Would definetly use again and recommend for trustworthiness and good value.

    Roofrite re-did the roof at the front of our house and installed 9 skylights. They are an extremely well run organisation who communicate very well. The workers are neat, tidy, polite and extremely high quality. We had no problems with anything they did and they took great pride in their craft. Absolutely love our seemingly leak proof and bright new home!

    2.	Just wanted to provide some feedback -;
From the outset I felt great confidence with Kym, he certainly knows his stuff and made me feel assured that what we wanted could be achieved and actually delivered.  It wasn’t as simple as putting on the cladding but we had various issues with leakage and the lack of water proofing by the correct placement of flashing's etc.

Then the day finally came were the boys showed up to do the job.
The “boys” consisted of Jamie, Jermain, James and ( Chris on occasion).

I have to say as a business owner, all of them are very impressive, punctual, hardworking and good at what they do… In particular Jamie is excellent as the leader of the gang and his knowledge and  eye for detail is impeccable, he is an absolute asset to your business. I was so impressed by him and his ability to communicate with me what some of the issues were and how he was going to fix them.

So overall I am beyond happy with the work and the outcome and it was my pleasure dealing with the boys.

Kind regards,
Erin.
