Signs Your Commercial Property Needs Roof Replacement
Knowing when your commercial property in Australia needs a roof replacement is vital. Early identification can prevent costly structural damage and keep your building up to code. Our team has decades of experience replacing commercial tile and metal roofs, and we recognise the signs that signal when it’s time to act.
Persistent Leaks Across Multiple Areas
When you spot water stains or leaks scattered throughout the building, even after repairs, this is often more than just surface damage. It points to systemic issues like membrane breakdown or faulty waterproofing on your commercial roof.
Our team has seen hundreds of properties where chronic leaks eventually led to damaged insulation and electrical systems, requiring a full commercial roof replacement to restore building safety and usability.
Advanced Rust, Corrosion, or Rot
Metal and timber elements in commercial roofs can degrade over time, especially in our climate. If you notice areas on your Colorbond® or metal roofs where rust has eaten through, or discover soft, rotting timber around valleys and fasteners, these are key signs.
We inspect for rust and rot on every commercial roof replacement job, as these often mean hidden risks for collapse or further water ingress.
Increased Repairs & Soaring Maintenance Bills
If maintenance costs keep climbing due to repeated fixes on seams, flashing, or roof sheets, it’s a warning that your commercial roof has reached the end of its service life. Many property owners call us after realising that patch jobs are only temporary.
We replace failing systems with new, compliant tile or metal solutions that lower ongoing maintenance and help avoid major disruptions.
Non-Compliant or Hazardous Roofing Materials
Older commercial buildings in Australia often still contain asbestos sheeting or other outdated products. These materials not only put occupants at risk but also fail current requirements under Australian building codes.
Our commercial roof replacement addresses these compliance gaps, helping you meet insurance standards and ensure occupant safety.
If any of these issues are impacting your commercial property, reach out to our team. We can assess your roof and provide a clear plan to protect your investment.
Types Of Commercial Roofs We Replace
At Five Star Roofing, we’ve handled commercial roof replacement for nearly every type of roof used in NSW and QLD. Our background in both metal and tile roofing means we understand the unique demands of each material and structure. Here’s what we commonly encounter and how our team tackles each scenario.
Built-Up Roofing (BUR) Systems
Many older warehouses and industrial buildings still use traditional built-up roofing. These systems, layered with bitumen and fabric, are valued for their durability but present challenges in disposal and weight.
We’re equipped to safely remove heavy BUR systems and upgrade them to modern alternatives. Our team ensures correct structural support and waterproofing, so your new roof performs for decades.
Metal Roofing Systems – Colorbond, Zinc, Steel
Metal roofs, especially Colorbond, dominate the commercial scene from retail to manufacturing. Our commercial roof replacement service includes full removal, supply, and installation of Colorbond® and other metal profiles.
We focus on proper insulation, corrosion protection, and secure fixings, as even minor errors here can lead to costly future repairs. Our approach delivers minimal disruption and maximum lifespan for your building.
Tile Roofs – Terracotta, Concrete, Slate
Certain commercial or heritage properties may still use tile roofs, often terracotta or concrete. These require careful handling to preserve both aesthetics and structure. Our team can source matching tiles, manage fragile materials, and reinforce roof framing as needed.
We’re also across strict regulations for heritage and institutional buildings, ensuring all commercial roof replacements meet compliance.
Asbestos Roof
Many pre-1980s commercial roofs contain asbestos. Five Star Roofing is licensed to coordinate safe asbestos removal before any commercial roof replacement. We follow all Australian safety legislation, using approved disposal methods, and only commence new work when your site is certified clear.
If your building needs a reliable commercial roof replacement anywhere in NSW or QLD, you can count on us for a straightforward, high-standard result. Get in touch with our team to discuss the best options for your property.
How We Work Across Locations We Service
Our team at Five Star Roofing handles commercial roof replacement projects across both New South Wales and Queensland. With nearly 20 years’ experience, we’ve completed hundreds of jobs from city centres to regional towns. Our operations stretch from urban commercial buildings in Sydney and Brisbane to rural commercial properties throughout both states.
Commercial Roof Replacement for City Businesses
We work in major metro areas including Sydney and Brisbane, tackling roof replacements for high-rise offices, retail centres, and warehouses. Projects in these cities often involve strict access requirements and tight scheduling.
Our crew manages permits and strata requirements directly, keeping commercial roof replacement projects compliant and efficient. You can expect us to recommend materials like Colorbond® for coastal resilience and long-term value.
Regional and Rural Roof Replacement Needs
Five Star Roofing also services a wide network of rural and regional towns in NSW and QLD. Larger property footprints and logistical challenges are normal here. We’re used to arranging material transport and adapting to remote locations.
For rural facilities, we source appropriate roofing, such as BAL-rated tiles or metal, for extra UV and bushfire protection, meeting both insurance and council guidelines.
Industrial and Multi-Use Property Services
We regularly replace roofs for industrial parks, warehouses, and mixed-use sites on city fringes and in transport corridors. These jobs often need specialised access and project staging to keep businesses running. Our team is skilled at phased scheduling and waste management for active commercial environments.
Emergency and Insurance Roof Replacement
Storms and hail are common in South-East Queensland and parts of NSW. We handle emergency commercial roof replacement, including insurance works, with rapid response teams familiar with claim processes. Five Star Roofing coordinates fast quotes, material supply, and installation, helping businesses get back on track quickly.

Our Process for Commercial Roofs Replacement
Our team at Five Star Roofing knows that a solid roof is crucial for any business or strata building. Here’s how we approach commercial roof replacement, step by step.
Check Roof Structure and Compliance
First, we check that the existing roof structure is sound and meets all Australian standards. This includes a close inspection for signs of damage, structural issues, and any failings in compliance with current building codes and fire ratings.
Assess Materials for Local Conditions
We consider your building’s location and the local climate before recommending new materials. For NSW and QLD, we often find that Colorbond® or Zincalume metal and quality tiles offer the best long-term durability against harsh weather.
Install Roof & Document the Process
Once the plan is set, our licensed team removes the old roofing and installs your new system to the highest standards. We provide all compliance certificates and documentation, ensuring your building is protected and fully up to code.
Maintain Site Safety & Coordinate Project
Throughout the job, we maintain clear site access for your business and stick to agreed timeframes. Our team manages safety checks daily and coordinates closely with building managers to reduce disruption.
Conduct Final Inspection & Provide Ongoing Support
We finish with a complete inspection of the new roof, double-checking all work and documentation. After handover, we’re available to answer any maintenance or warranty questions that may come up.
