SEC.02 Steel Profile Index

Colorbond Is a Coating.
The Profile Is the Shape.

When someone says “Colorbond roof,” they mean Colorbond steel rolled into one of these six profiles. The profile is the look. The coating is the colour and warranty. We install all six.

SEC.03 The Conversion

Tile to Colorbond.

The single most-requested re-roof in Australia. Strip the old tiles. New steel battens. Sarking and insulation upgrade. Long-run Colorbond sheets in your colour. Custom flashings on-site.

Why most homeowners convert: a tile roof at 50 years is twice as heavy as steel at 50 years, and tile flexes more. Flex creates leaks. Steel doesn't flex.

Same Standard.

01 RE-BEDDING & RE-POINTING

Mortar bed under the ridge cap fails first. Pointing fails before bedding. We replace both — flexible pointing over fresh bed.

Typical
$1,500–$4,800
02 BROKEN TILE REPLACEMENT

Aged terracotta is a colour-match exercise — kiln batches drift over 30 years. We hold matched stock or source from yards when needed.

Typical
$200–$1,500
03 LEAK DETECTION & REPAIR

Water shows up two metres from where it gets in. We trace the actual path through battens and sarking. Two other roofers couldn't fix it. We hear that a lot.

Typical
$300–$2,500
04 RESTORATION PAINTING

Concrete tile fading is normal at 15+ years. Pressure-clean, repoint, two-coat membrane. Adds 8–12 years before full replacement.

Typical
$3,000–$8,000
05 STORM DAMAGE RESPONSE

Same-day make-safe tarp. Photographic damage report for your insurer. We work direct with Suncorp HomeRepair, IAG, Allianz, QBE, Youi, RACQ.

Typical
Insurer-paced
06 FASCIA & GUTTERING

Roll-formed Colorbond gutters sized to your catchment area. Brisbane gets more annual rainfall than London — we size for 100mm downpours, not drizzle.

Typical
$1,500–$8,000
