Preventative Industrial Roof Care
Reactive call-outs are the most expensive way to manage an industrial roof. Once a leak occurs, it has already damaged plaster, threatened machinery and compromised stock. Total Roof Maintenance provides custom Planned Maintenance Programmes designed to identify and fix minor defects before they escalate.
With over 30 years of experience, we specialise in high-capacity industrial roof care for factories, warehouses and logistics complexes. Our systematic inspections, gutter clearing, and fastener audits extend the service life of your metal roof assets, protect building structures and ensure structural warranties remain valid.

Critical Preventative Audits
Fastener & Sealant Audits
Over years of exposure to Melbourne's temperature extremes, metal roofs experience constant expansion and contraction. This thermal movement causes roof screws to back out, rubber washers to degrade, and sealants to split. Our maintenance visits include a full check of roof fasteners, tightening or replacing loose screws, and replacing brittle rubber seals on penetrations to maintain a weathertight seal.
Stormwater Drainage Audits
Industrial roofs rely on high-capacity box gutters, sumps, and downpipes. A single leaf blockage in a critical sump can cause immediate overflow into warehouse bays. We inspect sumps and overflow outlets to ensure they comply with AS/NZS 3500.3 plumbing standards, clear restricting sediment and verify that rainheads are draining at peak capacity.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does a maintenance contract save us money?
By catching roof rust, loose screws, and minor gutter blockages early, we prevent them from causing major ceiling collapses or stock damage. It is far more cost-effective to pay for scheduled, minor roof maintenance than to replace damaged machinery, clean up mould or fund emergency structural repairs. Feel free to contact us to discuss further.
Are you able to coordinate with our tenants?
Yes, we work closely with facility managers and industrial tenants to plan our visits around their delivery schedules, shift hours, and safety requirements. We handle all height-access permits, safety inductions and site safety clearances on commercial roofs.
Do you provide a height safety audit?
Yes, during our inspection, we check the condition of existing roof anchors, ladders, and walkways. We flag any non-compliant areas and recommend proper height-safety equipment to ensure you meet WorkSafe Victoria standards.
