What Goes Wrong on Metal Roofs
Metal roofs are built to last, but they're not immune to wear. The eastern suburbs and Yarra Ranges get a lot of weather. Heavy rain, strong winds, and cold winters all take their toll, especially on older properties where the materials have been doing their job for decades.
The most common issues we see on metal roofs in this area are storm damage, rust and corrosion on older Colorbond or corrugated iron, failing flashings around chimneys and skylights, and screws and sealants that have degraded over time. Some of these are visible from the ground. Others won't show up until water is already getting inside.
We also see a lot of roofs that have had a previous patch job hold up for a year or two and then start leaking again. That usually means the underlying cause wasn't addressed. When we carry out a repair, we find the source of the problem and fix it properly so it doesn't come back.

How We Carry Out Metal Roof Repairs
We start by getting on the roof and finding where the water is actually entering. With metal roofs, the visible damage and the source of the problem are often in different places. A failed flashing or a lifted sheet can be letting water in metres away from where it appears inside the house.
Once we've identified the source, we carry out the repair properly rather than patching over it. That means replacing materials that have failed, resealing areas that have deteriorated, and checking the surrounding sections so we're not missing anything else that's likely to cause problems down the track.
We cover storm damage, rust and corrosion, failed flashings around chimneys and skylights, worn fasteners and sealants, and any other issues specific to Colorbond and corrugated iron roofing. You get a straight answer on what's wrong, what it will cost, and what to expect before any work starts.

Ben communicated extremely well both by email and text and during the time he arrived to install an upgraded toilet. He explained very clearly three options I had and gave pricing for each. Will definitely use Ben for any future plumbing work and can thoroughly recommend his work and reliability.

Benjamin was very holistic in his inspection and provided a detailed report after checking the roof. I had a roof leak that was causing the power to trip, and he helped identify the areas that needed fixing. He also clearly identified other areas of concern that could lead to major issues down the track. Very helpful and honest. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to friends and family.

Frequently Asked Questions
Most metal roofs don't need full replacement. Localised rust, damaged sections, failed flashings, and worn fasteners are all repairable. We'll inspect the roof and give you an honest assessment. If repairs will extend the life of the roof by many years, that's what we'll recommend. If the roof is beyond economical repair, we'll tell you that clearly.
The most common causes are failing flashings around penetrations like chimneys and skylights, screws and rubber washers that have degraded over time, rust that has eaten through the metal, and storm damage that has lifted or displaced sheets. We trace the leak back to its actual source rather than patching what's visible.
Yes. We work on all metal roofing types common to homes in the eastern suburbs, including Colorbond, corrugated iron, and Zincalume. Older corrugated iron roofs often have more extensive corrosion, which we factor into the assessment.
Yes. We produce detailed written inspection reports accepted by insurance providers across Victoria. If your roof has been damaged and you need documentation to support a claim, we can inspect, report, and carry out repairs through the same job.
It depends on the extent of the damage. Minor repairs such as resealing, replacing fasteners, or fixing a section of flashing are often completed in a few hours. More involved repairs or storm damage affecting larger areas will take longer. We'll give you a clear picture of what's involved before we start.
We're based in Gembrook and service the surrounding eastern suburbs including Belgrave, Emerald, Pakenham, Healesville, Lilydale, and the wider Yarra Ranges and Cardinia regions.
