Roof replacement Adelaide services for homes and commercial buildings
A new steel roof should look great, match the street and protect from harsh weather. This is our core work. We specialise in replacing tired concrete tile, terracotta and old iron with a new COLORBOND roof, choosing profiles, colours and set out that blend with your area, from modern suburbs to heritage streets and townships. Colorbond roofing is our go-to choice for Adelaide properties because it offers reliable local supply, durable coatings, and profiles that suit both homes and commercial buildings.
Roof Replacement and Gutters SA is a South Australian, 15-year-experienced family roofing business. We are fully licensed and insured, and all work is guaranteed. You get clear options, safe site arranged in advance, tidy handovers and documentation you can keep on file. Early in process, we confirm whether your roof is suited for reroofing, and from there, we outline the path from check to measure to installation, ensuring predictable timelines and the result that meets your expectations.
Iron to COLORBOND roof replacement services
Old iron loses coating, fades and can rust at laps and fixings. A new COLORBOND or ZINCALUME roof improves harsh-weather durability and freshens the appearance, so the home presents well from the street. You get a low-maintenance finish and thermal efficiency benefits that help in summer. It comes with manufacturer material warranties that apply when installed correctly. The result is strong weathering, cleaner lines and less upkeep over time.
Installation details and inclusions
We inspect purlins and battens, replace any weak sections, and include new ridge, hip, and valley flashings to ensure junctions stay tight. Set out and fastening patterns are updated to suit local wind conditions for a stable, quieter roof.
Concrete tile to COLORBOND roof replacement services
Concrete tiles are heavy and can crack, slip and shed dust into the roof space. Converting to steel reduces roof weight, improves waterproofing at laps and flashings and cuts maintenance. Households often notice a cleaner ceiling space and easier summer cooling with the right roof blanket and ventilation. Street appeal typically improves with modern profiles and colours, which support property value. Manufacturer material warranties apply.
Installation details and inclusions
We specialise in roof replacement services that include the installation of roofing blanket insulation. Roofing blanket insulation is a crucial component of a well-insulated and energy efficient roofing system. We also install sarking to manage condensation, strap the roof for compliance, and reflash penetrations and skylights so the new system works as one.
Terracotta tile to COLORBOND roof replacement services
Terracotta looks beautiful but may become porous with age, leading to the growth of moss, dust, and leak paths through cracks. A steel conversion delivers a lighter roof, tighter weathering and a low-maintenance finish that resists fading and chipping. We match profiles and colours to suit heritage or modern streets, ensuring the new roof blends in seamlessly. Expect a cleaner roof space, improved rain performance, and easier upkeep. Manufacturer material warranties apply.
Installation details and inclusions
We protect decorative timber with correctly formed flashings, renew ridges and valleys and align gutter falls to suit the new roof thickness so drainage remains consistent and neat.

Roof replacement services
What is included with our roof replacement services
This is how we deliver a tidy, compliant roof replacement Adelaide from first setup to handover.
Listen first, scope and approvals
From the first call we listen and advise, confirm your goals, check heritage overlays and roof pitch, and complete a check-measure. We outline profiles and colours, agree the program and access, provide a clear written scope and quote, and for tile to COLORBOND projects we prepare any required council approvals.
Site planning and access around facades and verandahs
We schedule bins and deliveries, protect paths and gardens and keep the site presentable. This reduces disruption and helps the week run smoothly.
Safety and compliance
We install edge protection or scaffolding on every job and prepare SWMS and site safety documents. Work is completed to recognised metal roofing and roof drainage standards by a fully licensed and insured team.
Profiles, set out and colours matched to the era
We recommend a profile that suits the pitch and period, most often Corrugated or CUSTOM ORB, then match colours so the roof reads as one. An accurate set out keeps ridges, valleys and barges straight and consistent.
Flashings, penetrations and verandah junctions
Roofs fail at the edges, not the middle. We form custom flashings for barges and aprons, re-flash penetrations and skylights and set valley and stop-end details so water moves off the roofline and away from timber. If specified, we include the whirlybird installation in Adelaide as part of the scope.
Tile to steel conversions
When converting from concrete or terracotta tiles to COLORBOND, we include tie-down and strapping to manage wind uplift on the lighter steel system. This keeps the roof secure and compliant while preserving period lines.
Materials and supplies
We use genuine COLORBOND or ZINCALUME with compatible fasteners and seals from local suppliers, so colour batches stay consistent across sheets, flashings and gutters. This keeps lead times predictable and finishes cohesive.
Handover and documentation
We leave a presentable site, remove waste and provide product information for your records. Your handover includes the colours, profiles and key components used; site photos of the completed work are included where appropriate.
Handover and documentation
We leave a presentable site, remove waste promptly and provide product information for your records. Your handover lists colours, profiles and key components used, with completion photos where appropriate.
Workmanship and warranties
You receive a 10-year workmanship guarantee that covers our installation. Product performance is covered by BlueScope manufacturer material warranties, typically 30 to 40 years, when installed and maintained in line with their guidelines.
Inspection findings and typical faults
On-site, we look for the faults that indicate a roof has reached the end of its life. These are the common issues and what they typically indicate.
Wind-driven rain at ridges and flashings
Staining at the ceiling or on wet insulation often means tired ridge work or fatigued flashings. Complete replacement allows us to reset capping and junctions, ensuring they shed properly.
Corrosion at sheet laps and fastener lines
Red rust, pinholes or staining near screws indicate coating breakdown or incompatible fixings. New sheets with compatible fasteners stop the problem from returning.
Sheet movement and noise under wind
Rattling or drumming is usually under-fixing or failing battens. Correct fixing patterns and fresh timber support give a stable, quieter roof.
Tile systems at the end of life
Cracked, slipped or fretting tiles and heavy roof weight stress older structures. Steel conversion lightens the load and tightens up weathering at laps and flashings.
Dusting in the ceiling space
Porous concrete or terracotta can shed fines into the roof void. A sealed steel system with the right blanket keeps the ceiling space cleaner.
Valleys, gutters and outlets that overflow
Water over the back of gutters or down walls indicates poor falls, undersized outlets, or debris. Replacement allows us to reset falls, outlets, and terminations.
Condensation and “sweating”
Damp timbers or water marks without obvious leaks suggest a missing blanket or poor ventilation. We include blanket or sarking and detail penetrations to control moisture.
Poor junctions at additions and verandahs
Step-downs, aprons and barges that were improvised can trap water. New flashings and correct set-out ensure the roof reads as one and drains as designed.

How we work
Our Adelaide roof replacement process
These steps keep roof replacement Adelaide projects predictable for homes and commercial reroofing Adelaide.
Enquiry and satellite check
At the start, you will share your address and goals. From there we can access satellite imagery to gain an estimated measure and determine site access. This allows the first visit to be efficient and accurately scoped for re-roofing Adelaide.
On-site inspection and measure
We will attend your property to inspect the roof and obtain the accurate roof measurements. We discuss profiles and colours for Colorbond roofing in Adelaide metropolitan areas and take note of any verandah or extension junctions that may need attention.
Written quote
Next you will receive a fixed quote with clear inclusions and timelines. If it is tile to Colorbond Adelaide, we will also outline any council requirements.
Check measure
We confirm all dimensions and final selections before ordering. This locks in an accurate set out for straight ridges, valleys and barges.
Order bins, materials and guard rail
We order bins and genuine COLORBOND or ZINCALUME with compatible fixings, then book edge protection or scaffolding. For commercial jobs, we coordinate crane or semi-offload services, so materials are delivered where the team need them.
Job completion
Old roofing is removed in sections and new sheets are installed to standard. Tile to Colorbond conversions include tie-down and strapping to manage wind uplift due to the lighter steel system.
Quality control check
A supervisor checks fixing patterns, flashings, penetrations and drainage. We ensure the roof presents cleanly and performs optimally in Adelaide conditions.
Handover
We leave a presentable site, remove waste and follow up to ensure you are happy with the final result.
Safety and compliance
We work safely and install to recognised standards, so details stay consistent and watertight. Documentation and licences are available on request.
