Whether replacing a weathered tile roof or updating an older metal roof, we ensure seamless installation using trusted Colorbond® materials in a wide range of colours and profiles. Full roof replacement delivers long-lasting, low-maintenance performance, boosted property value, and peace of mind, especially if your roof has widespread issues or is nearing the end of its lifespan.

How Colorbond® Roof Replacement Works
Replacing a roof with Colorbond® steel is a detailed process that goes beyond swapping old materials for new. In Australia, Colorbond® roof replacement involves removing an existing tile or metal roof and installing a new Colorbond® system using high-grade steel sheets.
Our team has managed hundreds of these projects, always prioritising the structural integrity and long-term performance of your property.
Stages of a Colorbond® Roof Replacement
Colorbond® roof replacement is structured from start to finish. We begin with a comprehensive inspection to identify any structural issues, confirm measurements, and check for hazards like asbestos. After safely removing the old roof, whether it’s heavy tiles or old metal, we assess and upgrade battens, insulation, and sarking as needed. Our installers then custom-cut and fix each Colorbond® sheet, ensuring every flashing and seal meets Australian standards for water-tightness and durability.
Things to Consider on Tile-to-Colorbond® Conversion
Switching from tiles to Colorbond® is increasingly popular, but it’s not a straightforward swap. Removing tiles requires extra care during demolition and disposal. We also make structural adjustments, as lighter steel sheets need proper batten placement and sometimes reinforcement to meet wind compliance.
Insulation and sarking layers are added to ensure energy efficiency, and our crew are skilled at managing these specific requirements for a seamless transition.
Types and Profiles of Colorbond® Roofing
Not all Colorbond® is the same. Standard Colorbond® suits most homes, but for coastal locations, we recommend Colorbond® Ultra with enhanced corrosion resistance. There are also designer finishes like Matt and Metallic for a high-end look, as well as double-sided options for exposed areas.
The sheet profile (corrugated, trimdek, or kliplok) affects both the appearance and performance. We advise on the right combination based on your home’s needs and the local climate.
Compliance, Maintenance, and Warranty
Every roof replacement must meet Australian standards and local council regulations. Colorbond® is non-combustible, making it suitable for bushfire zones. Five Star Roofing provides full compliance documentation and warranty coverage, with our installation and material warranties ranging up to 20 years.
Ongoing maintenance is simple, just occasional rinsing and regular checks, so your investment is protected for decades.

Why You Should Consider Colorbond® Roof Replacement
Choosing Colorbond® roof replacement gives homeowners across Australia clear and measurable benefits. Our team at Five Star Roofing has decades of experience installing and replacing metal roofing, so we know how to help you get the most out of a new Colorbond® roof.
Outstanding Durability and Long-Term Savings
Colorbond® roofs are built for Australian conditions, with a multi-layer system that stands up to heat, storms, and salt air. They are highly resistant to corrosion and don’t deteriorate like concrete tiles or older metal roofs.
In our work across NSW, QLD, and ACT, we see Colorbond® installations last upwards of 40 to 50 years with minimal issues. This durability means fewer repairs and long-term savings compared to other roofing materials.
Low Maintenance, Less Hassle
Maintenance is a real concern with older tiled roofs, cracked tiles, leaks, moss, and mould are all too common. With Colorbond® roof replacement, the smooth, non-porous surface naturally resists build-up and rarely needs more than a simple rinse in sheltered areas.
Homeowners who choose Colorbond® through our company notice how little effort their roof needs to stay in top condition, especially compared to frequent tile fixes.
Enhanced Energy Efficiency and Comfort
Colorbond® steel includes coatings designed to reflect heat. The result is less heat entering your home during summer and improved energy efficiency year-round.
We see real reductions in cooling costs when replacing dark tiled roofs with light-coloured Colorbond, especially when coupled with good insulation. This technology helps homeowners in both hot and cool climates achieve better comfort indoors.
Safe, Sustainable, and Modern Appeal
Colorbond® is non-combustible, making it a preferred choice in bushfire-prone areas. It’s also 100% recyclable and manufactured with environmental responsibility in mind. Our team has seen houses boost both their street appeal and their resale value after a Colorbond® roof replacement, with architects and owners alike appreciating the clean lines and range of colours available. A new Colorbond® roof offers practical and lasting value for Australian homes.
