Signs Your Commercial Property Needs Roof Repair

Timely commercial roof repairs help protect your building, keep occupants comfortable, and prevent more costly issues down the line. Our team at Five Star Roofing regularly identifies roof problems for businesses across NSW and QLD, so we know the signs to watch for and how to address them. 

Water Stains and Moisture Damage

Noticing discolouration or damp spots on ceilings or walls often signals a hidden roof leak. Water that makes its way inside can compromise insulation, weaken structures, and raise the risk of major repairs.
Our crew is skilled at pinpointing where water is entering and providing targeted, lasting commercial roof repairs.

Sagging, Ponding, or Structural Deformation

Sagging areas or pooled water on a commercial roof usually mean that either drainage is blocked, the membrane is failing, or supporting structures have degraded. These faults carry significant risk, excess weight can lead to partial collapse or damage to interior systems.

Our roofers inspect for these signs and act quickly to restore the roof’s integrity using proven repair methods suited to Australian buildings.

Damaged Metal or Tile Roofing Materials

Loose, cracked, rusting, or missing tiles or sheeting put the building at risk of leaks and further deterioration. Metal roof corrosion can spread unexpectedly, especially around joints and fixings.

Our commercial roof repair specialists are experienced with both tile and metal, quickly replacing or repairing problem areas to safeguard your property.

Failing Flashings, Joints, and Accessories

Flashing protects vulnerable points like roof edges and around skylights, vents, or HVAC penetrations. When flashings loosen, corrode, or separate, water gets a direct path inside. We treat every roof penetration and joint as a possible weak spot, using methods that suit both new and older commercial roofs.

 

Spotting these issues early with Five Star Roofing means you’ll avoid bigger problems and save on repair costs in the long run. Get in touch if you’ve seen any of these signs or want a comprehensive roof condition assessment for your commercial property.

 

 

Types of Commercial Roofs We Repair

At Five Star Roofing, our team handles commercial roof repairs across a wide range of materials and designs found throughout Australia. After nearly 20 years in the industry, we’ve worked with most commercial roofing types, ensuring tailored repair solutions that match each system’s unique characteristics and ongoing compliance needs.

Metal Roofs

We regularly repair sheet metal and Colorbond® roofing on factories, warehouses, and retail buildings. Common problems include rust at seams, loose fixings, and failing protective coatings. Our experienced team replaces corrosion-damaged panels, secures fasteners, and reapplies coatings in line with manufacturer standards.

We understand the importance of allowing for thermal expansion to prevent repeat leaks and ensure every commercial roof repair offers long-term protection.

Tile Roofs

Tile roofs are a mainstay on many strata complexes and heritage-style offices. Broken or slipped tiles and damaged ridge cappings are a frequent cause of leaks. We source matching commercial-grade tiles and perform careful replacements, ensuring effective water-shedding and maintaining the original aesthetic.

With decades in tile and metal supply and installation, we restore tiles with minimal disruption to your business operations.

Flat, Skillion, and Butterfly Roofs

Many Australian commercial properties feature flat or uniquely shaped roofs that face specific challenges. Ponding water, failing flashings, and membrane issues are all common on flat, skillion, and butterfly designs.

We carry out thorough site inspections, clear obstructions, repair failed joints, and replace damaged flashings. Proper drainage is always restored, reducing your risk of larger structural issues or insurance complications.

Solar Roof Integration

With more buildings fitting solar panels, we’ve become experts in repairing leaking penetrations or damaged roof sheets beneath solar arrays. Our team coordinates closely with electrical specialists to safeguard both the roof and your solar investment. We use non-invasive repair methods that keep the integrity of the panels and warranties intact.

 

If you’re dealing with issues on any commercial roof type or have questions about repairs specific to your site, our team is ready to help. Reach out today for trusted advice or to book a detailed inspection.

 

 

How We Work Across Locations We Service

At Five Star Roofing, our commercial roof repairs cover a wide footprint across NSW and QLD. We maintain and repair roofs on a range of commercial buildings, from city centres to regional hubs.

Our crews regularly work in Sydney, Newcastle, Brisbane, Gold Coast, and surrounding suburbs, as well as further out into industrial estates, business parks, and coastal areas.

Warehouse and Industrial Roof Repairs in Key Districts

We support warehouses and large industrial sites throughout Sydney’s west, Brisbane’s south, and regional zones in both states. Our team has long experience fixing and maintaining metal and tile roofs on logistics centres, factories, and distribution sheds, many of which face unique challenges like storm damage or corrosion.

We always factor in local access requirements, building codes, and the impact of nearby industries on roofing materials.

Retail and Commercial Precincts Covered

Our commercial roof repairs extend to retail and mixed-use business areas, such as Parramatta, North Lakes, or Tweed Heads. We know shopping centres, office blocks, and hospitality sites can’t afford disruption, so we handle inspection and repair work with careful coordination, often after hours or in staged projects.

Over the years, we’ve built relationships with property managers who need reliable service and precise scheduling.

Education and Healthcare Sector Projects

We look after educational and health facilities in urban and regional communities, including schools and medical clinics. Our technicians are trained for the safety and compliance needs found on these sites.

All our work complies with relevant state standards and local council guidelines, including permits for larger jobs.

Our Process for Commercial Roof Repairs

When your commercial roof needs attention, our team at Five Star Roofing follows a clear method to keep things practical, safe, and hassle-free.

Check Roof Condition First

We begin with an on-site inspection to see how the roof is holding up. We look for leaks, rust, broken tiles and anything pointing to deeper concerns. It’s important for us to confirm the structure is still in good shape so we know if a repair is right or if a bigger job is needed.

Decide On The Best Fix

Once we know what we’re working with, we focus on repairs that target only what needs to be fixed. Our crew will handle tile or metal roof issues using materials suited to your existing system. We always keep to Australian safety standards and aim to work around your hours so there’s as little disruption as possible.

Repair and Restore the Roof

We carefully carry out repairs using the right techniques for your roof, whether it’s metal sheeting, tiles, or membrane. Our team works in sections to ensure safety and keep your premises protected throughout the job. We aim for repairs that not only fix the damage but help the roof last longer.

Conduct Final Inspection & Clean-Up

When repairs are done, we clear any debris and double-check the roof for quality and safety. We only consider the job complete once everything on site is tidy and the roof is performing as it should.

Frequently Asked Questions

Commercial roof repair costs in Australia generally range from around $40 to $120 per square metre, depending on the scope of work, roofing material, and access challenges. Localised repairs, like patching a small leak or replacing a few tiles, tend to fall at the lower end, while major fixes involving metal roofs or structural issues can increase fees.

Costs may also be affected by strict safety requirements and building code compliance, especially for strata or insurance jobs.

We always recommend getting a professional assessment before work begins so that you receive an accurate, tailored quote. If you’d like to discuss your roof or arrange an inspection, reach out for a no-obligation consultation.

Deciding between a standard repair and a full restoration often comes down to the scale and condition of your roof. We generally suggest restoration when the roof shows widespread wear but not enough damage to justify a costly full replacement.

Restoration can include deep cleaning, replacing damaged sections, and applying specialised protective coatings, which extend the roof’s life and boost its weather resistance. This approach is ideal if minor repairs are becoming frequent or if your roof is older, but the structure is still sound.
Restoration typically costs more than a simple repair but remains more budget-friendly and less disruptive than a complete new installation.

If you’re unsure which option is best for your commercial property in NSW or QLD, we’re happy to provide a thorough inspection and tailored advice. Just reach out to Five Star Roofing for an obligation-free assessment.

Council approval for commercial roof repairs in Australia typically depends on the scale and nature of the work. Minor repairs such as patching leaks or replacing a small number of tiles usually don’t require council approval if they don’t alter the building’s structure or appearance.

However, substantial works, like structural changes, large-scale restorations, or upgrades that affect insulation or drainage systems, often need approval, especially in heritage zones or strata properties common in cities like Sydney and Brisbane.

Our experts always recommend checking local council requirements before beginning any major roofing project, as non-compliance can delay your job and increase costs. If you’re unsure whether your planned repairs require approval, we’re happy to review your project and guide you through the Sydney council processes. Just get in touch for tailored advice.

For most commercial roof repairs in Australia, the process usually takes from one to three days, depending on the size of your roof and the extent of the damage. Small-scale repairs like patching a leak or replacing tiles can often be completed in a single day, while larger or more complex fixes, such as addressing widespread rust on metal roofs or multiple leak points, may extend over several days, particularly if poor weather interrupts work.

We provide a detailed project timeline after our inspection, taking into account access, materials, and any specific business needs, such as minimising disruption to daily operations.
