Most West Melbourne metal roofs were installed decades ago and have been patched repeatedly by previous owners. West Melbourne’s workers’ cottages behind the Queen Vic Market almost all carry ageing corrugated iron roofs that leak around parapet walls and shared valleys. Our in-house team strips the old sheeting, inspects every batten, replaces rotten timber where needed, and installs new BlueScope Colorbond with new flashings, valleys and ridge caps. No shortcuts.

West Melbourne is dense and narrow in most places — streets like Dudley Street, Spencer Street and Hawke Street 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.

City of Melbourne has rules about heritage colour and profile in large parts of West Melbourne, 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.
