Structural Metal Re-Roofing Solutions
When a commercial roof reaches the end of its useful life, constant patching becomes a costly and ineffective distraction. Rust, loose sheet joints and structurally degraded purlins require a permanent solution. Total Roof Maintenance provides expert, staged metal roof replacements designed to protect your building envelope for decades.
With over 30 years of experience, we specialise in replacing worn-out galvanised iron, asbestos, or older profile steel sheets with new, durable BlueScope steel. We operate with strict safety controls, managing the entire project from initial safety netting and engineering to final flashing details.
Premium Materials & Custom Profiles
We use only premium, Australian-made steel to ensure your new roof survives the harshest weather
Colorbond® & Zincalume® Steel
Colorbond®: Available in a wide range of designer colours with Thermatech solar reflectance technology, reflecting more heat and lowering building cooling loads.
Zincalume®: A durable aluminium, zinc, and magnesium alloy coating that offers outstanding corrosion resistance in industrial environments.
Colorbond® Ultra: A specifically designed range for severe coastal or high-emission industrial zones.
High-Performance Sheet Profiles
Kliplok (Concealed-Fix): Best for low-pitch commercial roofs. Because there are no screw penetrations through the sheet, it completely eliminates screw-hole leak risks and allows for excellent thermal expansion.
Trimdek (Pierced-Fix): A strong, ribbed profile suitable for medium to high-pitch roofs, offering excellent water-shedding capabilities and structural strength.
Corrugated (Custom Orb): The classic, versatile profile, perfect for heritage commercial buildings, vertical wall cladding and high-pitch areas.
Integrated Safety & Insulation Upgrades
A roof replacement is the perfect opportunity to improve the thermal performance and safety of your building:
Fall-Arrest Safety Mesh
Prior to laying new steel sheets, we install heavy-duty, galvanised safety mesh over the structural purlins. This mesh is a mandatory safety requirement that protects roofers during installation and provides long-term fall protection for future maintenance technicians.
High-Performance Insulation blankets
We install premium, glasswool insulation blankets (such as Anticon) faced with a heavy-duty reflective foil. This insulation barrier:
Drastically reduces summer heat transfer, keeping your warehouse cool and lowering energy bills.
Prevents internal condensation from forming on the underside of the cold metal sheets.
Dampens external noise from heavy rain, hail and wind.
Our Staged, Zero-Disruption Replacement Process
We understand that you cannot shut down operations for a roof replacement. Our process is designed to keep your business running smoothly
Step 1: Detailed Weather & Staging Plan
We monitor weather radar closely. We split the roof into manageable sections, only stripping what we can comfortably replace and make weathertight within the same day.
Step 2: Protection of Building Interior
Before starting, we coordinate with your team to protect sensitive areas below, using temporary internal sheeting or barrier screens where necessary.
Step 3: Strip-Out & Structural Audit
We carefully remove the old steel sheets. Our engineers inspect the exposed timber or steel purlins for rot, structural sagging, or weld failures, making any necessary structural repairs before proceeding.
Step 4: Mesh, Insulation & Sheet Installation
We install safety mesh and insulation, followed immediately by laying the new, custom-cut Colorbond® or Zincalume® sheets, securing them with premium, cyclonic-rated fasteners.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can we continue to work inside the building during the re-roof?
Yes, we specialise in non-disruptive, staged roof replacements. By replacing the roof in sections and scheduling major work during your off-peak hours (or weekends), we ensure your staff, stock, and machinery remain completely safe and dry below. Feel free to contact us to discuss further.
H3: What warranties do you offer on new metal roofs?
We provide a comprehensive 7-year structural workmanship guarantee. In addition, BlueScope steel offers material warranties of up to 36 years (subject to site location and environmental conditions). To get your re-roofing project started, we invite you to request a no-obligation quote.
H3: Do you handle asbestos roof removal?
If your old roof contains asbestos we coordinate with fully licensed, Class A asbestos removal specialists. All removal works are executed in strict accordance with WorkSafe Victoria regulations, including air monitoring, safe disposal and clearance certification. All clean-up details will be clearly listed in your final commercial roof repair or replacement contract.
