Colorbond and corrugated iron handle Queensland weather well. The sheets rarely fail first, the fixings do. We catch that early and fix it properly.
Nine times out of ten, a leaking metal roof in Brisbane isn't the sheets. It's the screws. The neoprene washers perish after 10 to 15 years of sun, the holes take on water, and rust starts around every fixing. Left alone, that rust creeps sideways under the sheet laps.
The fix is systematic: re-screw the roof with class-4 fasteners, treat and seal the surface rust, replace the sheets that are too far gone, and reseal the penetrations and flashings. Done properly, it adds decades for a fraction of a re-roof.
Wynnum, Manly, Lota, Sandgate, Redcliffe, within a few kilometres of the water, salt cuts fastener and flashing life dramatically. Bayside roofs get marine-grade fasteners and shorter inspection intervals from us as standard. It's cheap insurance against sheet replacement.
Rust streaks on the roof? That's active corrosion. The earlier it's treated, the more of the roof is salvageable. Book an inspection before the next wet season.

Surface rust and corrosion around fixings is very repairable. Rust that's eaten through the sheets usually means replacement. An inspection with photos makes the line between the two clear.
Yes. We replace sheets in genuine Colorbond and can match any current colour. Discontinued colours get the closest current match, placed in the least visible sections.
For a typical Brisbane home, $1,500 to $3,500 depending on roof size and access. It's the highest-value maintenance job on an iron roof.
A properly re-screwed and resealed roof should give you 15 years or more before the next major service, longer with periodic checks.
We get on the roof, photograph what we find, and give you a fixed price in writing. If nothing needs doing, we say so.
