Common Commercial Roof Problems in Brisbane

Brisbane’s weather, roof designs, and materials bring unique challenges. At Five Star Roofing, we tackle these issues daily and know exactly how to fix them. Here are common problems we see and how we solve them.

Roof Leaks from Heavy Rain

Heavy rainfall is a constant test for commercial roofing in Brisbane. We often find leaks begin at joins, around HVAC units, or where sealant has failed. Early signs are sometimes subtle, but left unchecked, leaks can lead to insulation damage, mould, or even electrical issues.

Our approach is comprehensive. During commercial roof repairs, we trace even minor leaks to their source and use tried-and-true methods for resealing and replacing affected materials.

Storm and Wind Damage

Severe storms bring wind and hail that can dent, crack, or loosen roofing components. High winds may lift roof sheets or tiles, breaking watertight seals. Damage is not always apparent straight after a storm.

We always do a full inspection on every job, uncovering hidden problems before they become significant issues, and prioritise proper refastening and replacement, especially on metal roofing, which is common across Brisbane’s commercial properties.

Ponding Water and Drainage Failures

Flat or low-slope commercial roofs are at risk of ponding water, mainly caused by blocked drains or gutter faults. When water sits on a roof too long, it stresses the structure and can lead to leaks or major failures.

Our team has experience correcting drainage, cleaning gutters, and reshaping sagging sections as part of our commercial roof repairs to ensure water is effectively channelled away.

Rust and Corrosion

Metal roofs on Brisbane’s commercial buildings contend with oxidation due to constant humidity and rain. Left unchecked, rust around screws or in poorly drained areas quickly leads to leaks and loss of structural integrity.

During our commercial roof repairs, we focus on identifying early signs of corrosion, replacing affected panels or fasteners, and applying protective coatings to extend the lifespan of your roof.

Each problem requires a slightly different solution, and that’s where our experience makes the difference. If you notice something out of the ordinary or just want peace of mind, reach out, and we’ll give your commercial roof a thorough assessment and keep things watertight.

Detailed Roof Inspections and Condition Reports

Every commercial roof repair job starts with a thorough inspection. We assess all visible roof areas, flashings, gutters, panels, and drainage points.

Our reports give insights into structural integrity, leak risks, and compliance with insurance or body corporate records. This forms the action plan for tailored repairs or ongoing maintenance.

Leak Detection and Emergency Leak Repair

Leaks can severely affect operations and cause damage. Our Brisbane team uses moisture meters, thermal imaging, and hands-on checks to pinpoint leak sources, not just the signs.

We respond promptly to emergencies and carry out repairs like patching, sheet replacements, or resealing to keep your premises watertight and safe.

Sheet, Tile, and Panel Repairs

Whether your commercial roof uses metal sheet profiles or tiles, we offer targeted repairs and replacements.

Damaged or corroded panels are matched and replaced, loose fixings are secured, and seams are resealed. Our experience with large-scale supply and installation ensures functional repairs that maintain your building’s appearance and safety.

Gutter and Drainage Repairs for Commercial Roofs

Gutters and downpipes are critical for roof longevity. We repair or replace faulty gutters, ensure proper drainage with scupper and overflow checks, and upgrade systems on larger industrial roofs.

Our commercial gutter services help prevent pooling and reduce internal water risks, and they are delivered according to current standards and codes.

Our Commercial Roof Repairs Process

Our team at Five Star Roofing knows how important a reliable roof is for your business. Here’s a look at our approach to commercial roof repairs.

1. Roof Inspection

We start with a detailed roof inspection. Brisbane’s unpredictable weather means we’re looking for rust on metal, cracked tiles, leaks, and structural concerns. This helps us work out exactly what your roof needs and give you practical advice.

2. Carry Out The Right Repairs

After inspection, we focused on fixing only the areas that needed attention. We repair leaks, secure loose sheet metal, and swap out damaged tiles. Our repairs aim to extend your roof’s life and minimise any interruption to your business.

3. Roof Painting & Resealing

Once we understand the full scope of the issue, we create a repair plan tailored to your building. This covers which repairs are needed, the best products, and how to get the job done with minimal fuss for your business.

4. Final Site Clean Up

When repairs are finished, we clean up any mess and remove debris from your site. We also do a final check to ensure everything is in order before considering our work complete.

Frequently Asked Questions

A roof restoration is a better option when your commercial roof shows widespread ageing, surface wear, or multiple minor faults, but still has a sound underlying structure. In contrast, isolated issues like leaks, some rust patches, or a handful of broken tiles can usually be fixed with targeted repairs, which are faster and more cost-effective.

Roof restoration goes beyond minor fixes; it involves thorough cleaning, recoating, sealing, and sometimes replacing sections to rejuvenate the whole roof and extend its life. On average, restoration costs between $40 to $70 per square metre, whereas basic repairs are often less, depending on the scope.

If you’re unsure which best suits your building, Five Star Roofing can provide a detailed on-site assessment and discuss your options. Get in touch to discuss your needs.

The cost of commercial roof repairs in Brisbane can vary widely depending on the type and extent of damage, but you can generally expect to pay between $65 and $120 per square metre for most repair jobs on metal or tile roofs.

Prices may be lower for minor issues like isolated leaks or rust spots, while more extensive work, such as replacing large sections of sheeting or addressing multiple problem areas, will be higher. Factors unique to Brisbane, such as roof accessibility, weather impacts, and specific building codes, can also affect final pricing.

At Five Star Roofing, we provide clear, itemised quotes and walk you through all options to suit your building’s needs and budget. If you’d like an accurate estimate, contact us to arrange an on-site inspection.

In most cases, council approval is not required for straightforward commercial roof repairs in Brisbane, as long as the work is limited to maintenance, like fixing leaks or replacing small sections of metal or tile.

However, you may need permits under Brisbane City Council regulations if repairs involve significant structural changes, major roof design alterations, or impact fire safety systems. As local specialists, Five Star Roofing continuously checks your project against current building codes, ensuring full compliance with Queensland safety standards.

We recommend confirming any requirements before work begins, and we are happy to liaise with the council on your behalf if permits look likely. Get in touch with Five Star Roofing if you want tailored advice for your specific property or job.

Most commercial roof repairs in Brisbane can be completed within one to three days, depending on the size and complexity of the job. For more minor issues, such as a couple of leaks or patching rust spots on a metal or tile roof, you may only need a single day’s work.

Larger repairs or situations requiring partial replacements, challenging access, or additional compliance measures can extend the timeline, particularly on bigger sites like offices, retail, or warehouses.

At Five Star Roofing, we always aim to schedule repairs to cause minimal disruption to your business. After an on-site assessment, we will provide a precise estimate of how long your specific project should take. To discuss timing for your commercial roof repair in Brisbane, get in touch, and we’ll be happy to advise.
