Alphington’s residential roof stock is almost all metal — early-1900s corrugated iron on the older cottages, zincalume from the post-war decades, and ageing Kliplok or Trimdek on the newer builds and townhouses. Alphington’s Edwardian and Californian bungalow homes carry original corrugated iron or early Colorbond roofing needing replacement. When we open up a Alphington roof to start work, we’ve almost always seen the problem underneath before — and we know how to fix it properly the first time.

Alphington is dense and narrow in most places — streets like Heidelberg Road, Latrobe Golf Course and Old Heidelberg Road aren’t designed for big trucks parking out the front for a week. We schedule crane lifts at first light, book loading zones in advance where we need to, and keep the job site tidy from start to finish.

Darebin City Council has rules about heritage colour and profile in large parts of Alphington, and we know those rules inside out. We’ll walk you through which Colorbond profiles are likely to be approved (Custom Orb for classic corrugated look, Trimdek for modern lines) and which colours work best with the surrounding streetscape. It’s the kind of local knowledge that saves you time and a failed council submission.
