Metal Roof Replacement in Armadale 3143
If your Armadale home still has its original galvanised iron or an old Kliplok roof from the 70s, it’s probably due for replacement. We’re the metal re-roof specialists — we strip what’s there, re-insulate and re-sark where needed, then install premium BlueScope Colorbond across every square metre. No half-jobs, no patchwork, no ‘from’ pricing.
Colorbond is one family, but there are five profiles inside it: Custom Orb (the classic corrugated), Trimdek (cleaner ribs), Kliplok (concealed-fix standing seam), Spandek and Longline. Sixteen colours, full 36-year BlueScope warranty, suitable for everything from a heritage Armadale terrace to a modern architectural rebuild. If you’re converting a tile roof to metal, resheeting old iron, or finishing a new extension in Armadale, this page covers everything we do.

Metal Is the Right Roof for Armadale Homes
Armadale has the same housing mix as most of Melbourne’s established suburbs — older tin, retro-fitted tile, and a growing share of modern extensions. Metal re-roofing suits nearly every scenario we see locally.
Older Armadale roofs are lighter-framed than tile-loaded homes. Many post-war Armadale weatherboards were never designed for the weight of concrete tiles, even though some were retro-fitted with tiles decades ago. A metal re-roof — or a tile-to-metal conversion — drops roof weight dramatically, eases structural stress on ageing timber trusses, and buys the frame another generation of life.
Armadale’s inner-north weather is hard on roofs. The hot north-westerlies in summer and driving southerly rain in winter find every lap, fastener and flashing. Modern Colorbond sheets have longer runs with fewer joins, concealed fixings on Kliplok and interlocking ribs on Trimdek — all of which dramatically reduce the number of potential leak points versus the 40-year-old iron that came off.
Tradies in this neighbourhood matter. We’ve been re-roofing in Armadale, Thornbury, Reservoir and Northcote for years. We know which streets need a boom lift versus a standard scaffold, where the laneway access gets tight, and how steep the pitches run on the older Edwardian and Victorian homes. We don’t send a sales rep who’s never held a snip in his life — the person quoting your Armadale metal re-roof is the one running the crew on the day.
Every Metal Re-Roof Option for Armadale
Tin to Colorbond Re-Sheeting
Classic Armadale scenario — old galvanised iron stripped back to the battens and fresh BlueScope Colorbond laid down. Every sheet, flashing and valley replaced.
Tile to Metal Conversion
Heavy cement or terracotta tiles removed, frame straightened and reinforced if required, sarking upgraded, Colorbond laid to suit your pitch.
Kliplok Standing Seam
Concealed-fix architectural profile for low-pitch modern builds and extensions. No exposed screws, no leak points at fasteners.
Custom Orb Corrugated
The classic Australian corrugated profile — perfect for heritage Armadale cottages and Edwardians where the original ribbed look is part of the home’s character.
Trimdek Ribbed
Cleaner, flatter ribs than Custom Orb. Our most-requested profile in Armadale for post-war homes and modern architectural builds.
Flashings, Valleys & Ridge Caps
No metal re-roof is complete without matched Colorbond flashings to every wall, valley, ridge and penetration. We replace every piece.
