Common Problems With Old Tiled Roofs
Tiled roofs tend to fail slowly. Years of weather, movement, and foot traffic take their toll, and the problems often stay hidden until water has already found its way inside. When repairs become a regular event, a tile to metal conversion is usually the better long-term fix.
Cracked & Slipping Tiles
Individual tiles crack, shift, and slip over time, leaving gaps that let water track under the roof line and stain ceilings below.
Hidden Water Damage
Water tracking under broken tiles leads to rotten battens and damaged roof timbers that you often don't see until the damage is serious.
Heavy Roof Weight
Concrete and terracotta tiles are heavy and can place ongoing load on older roof structures, contributing to sag over the years.
Constant Maintenance
Re-bedding ridge caps, re-pointing, and replacing broken tiles becomes a recurring cost that never really fixes the underlying problem.
Tile to Metal Roof Conversions Done Properly
Converting a tiled roof to metal is more than swapping the surface. We remove the old tiles, rebuild the roof to suit a metal system with new battens and updated flashings, and set up drainage that works properly with the new Colorbond roof. The result is a lighter roof that sheds water cleanly and lifts the look of the whole home.
Full Tile Removal & Rebuild
We strip the old tiles, inspect the structure underneath, and rebuild with new battens and fixings designed for a metal roof.
Lightweight Colorbond Steel
A modern Colorbond roof is far lighter than tiles, reduces load on the structure, and resists rust in Melbourne conditions.
Improved Insulation & Comfort
We can add an insulation blanket as part of the conversion, improving thermal comfort and reducing rain noise year-round.
A Modern, Clean Finish
The new profile and colour instantly modernise an older home, lift street appeal, and add value to the property.

5 stars all the way! I had Billy round to quote on repairs to my roof, but ended up replacing the whole roof. From my initial contact to finished product I was impressed. Everyone I dealt with was friendly, knowledgeable and efficient. My new roof is great and the site was left tidy. Thank you!
Shona S Home OwnerMany thanks to Billy and crew for a fantastic roof replacement! Hard working to get the job done 1 day early and cleaned up perfectly — easily made the right choice!
Martin Home OwnerThe whole crew was professional, courteous, quick and efficient from start to finish. Most importantly, the roof has not leaked once since they completed the work — even through extremely heavy rain!

Frequently Asked Questions About Tile to Metal Roof Replacement
For many homeowners, yes. Metal roofing is lighter, lower maintenance, and sheds water well when installed correctly. It also modernises the look of an older home and puts an end to the ongoing cost of broken and slipping tiles.
Yes. We remove all the existing tiles, inspect the structure underneath, and rebuild the roof to suit a metal system with new battens, flashings, and proper drainage before the new Colorbond roof goes on.
Significantly. Concrete and terracotta tiles are heavy and place ongoing load on the roof structure. A Colorbond metal roof weighs a fraction of that, which is one of the reasons it suits older homes so well.
Not when it's installed properly. We can include an insulation blanket as part of the conversion, which reduces rain noise and improves thermal comfort year-round.
Tile to metal conversions usually take a little longer than a straight re-roof because there is more removal and rebuild work involved, but most residential jobs are still completed within several days depending on size, access, and weather.
