Metal Roofing Reservoir — Colorbond & Re-Sheeting Specialists
Premium BlueScope Colorbond re-sheeting for Reservoir homes — Custom Orb, Trimdek and Kliplok profiles installed by a licensed, in-house metal crew with 36-year material warranty.
Metal Roof Replacement in Reservoir 3073
Plenty of Reservoir roofs are nearing the end of their working life — especially the galvanised iron sheets laid in the 1950s and 60s that are now rusting at the laps and lifting in strong wind. Melbourne Made Roofing is the metal re-roof specialist that takes those tired sheets off and replaces them with premium BlueScope Colorbond — Australian-made steel with a 36-year material warranty baked in.
Metal roofing isn’t just “Colorbond.” It’s five distinct profiles (Custom Orb, Trimdek, Kliplok, Spandek and Longline), sixteen heritage-friendly colours, a 36-year material warranty from BlueScope, and a genuine structural alternative to tile. If you’ve bought a weatherboard cottage in Reservoir with ageing iron, or you’re converting a tile roof to metal for the thermal and weight benefits, this is the page for you. Our in-house metal crew installs nothing else.

Metal Is the Right Roof for Reservoir Homes
From Edwardian terraces to post-war brick veneer to architectural new builds, Reservoir homes respond well to a metal re-roof. Here’s the short version of why most Reservoir quotes end up as BlueScope Colorbond.
Older Reservoir roofs are lighter-framed than tile-loaded homes. Many post-war Reservoir 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.
Reservoir’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 Reservoir, 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 Reservoir metal re-roof is the one running the crew on the day.
Every Metal Re-Roof Option for Reservoir
Tin to Colorbond Re-Sheeting
Classic Reservoir 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 Reservoir 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 Reservoir 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.
