Metal roof restoration in Melbourne

Cleaning, rust treatment and a fresh protective coating for faded, chalky or rusty metal roofs.

About metal roof restoration

Metal roofs last a long time, but they do not last forever without care. The factory finish fades and goes chalky, rust starts around screws, laps and gutters, and valleys and hip cappings collect dirt and moisture.

A metal roof restoration deals with that before the rust gets through the sheet. The roof is cleaned, rust is treated, loose fixings are attended to, and the roof is coated in a colour you choose.

Metal roofs expand and contract with heat, which can loosen screws over time and let water in around them. Checking fixings during a restoration is just as important as the coating itself. Gutters, flashings and cappings are part of the roof too, and we include what needs attention in the quote so the whole roof is finished at the same standard.

The benefits

Stops rust spreading

Treating rust early can save sheets from needing replacement.

Fresh even colour

A new coating takes a faded roof back to a clean, even finish.

Cheaper than a re-roof

When the sheets are still sound, restoring them is usually far less work than replacing them.
