Common Metal Roof Problems We Solve

Metal roofs are popular across Australia, but they are not without their challenges. Our team at Five Star Roofing sees a wide range of issues during metal roof repair jobs in both homes and commercial properties. Understanding these problems can help homeowners act before small defects lead to larger, costly repairs.

Rust and Corrosion in Roofing

Rust is one of the most persistent issues we tackle in metal roof repair. It often starts on surface scratches, around fastener holes, or beneath overlaps where water lingers. In Australia, coastal air and humidity can speed up corrosion, but hidden rust from trapped moisture is just as damaging inland. Our experienced team knows where rust tends to develop, and how to address it before it weakens the structure or leads to leaks.

Loose Fasteners and Failing Seams

Seams and fasteners are prime spots for water ingress. With time and weather, fasteners can loosen or their seals can degrade. Seams may open up from movement and temperature cycles.

Our service for metal roof repair includes detailed assessment and replacement of degraded fasteners and resealing expansion gaps to stop leaks at the source.

Holes, Perforations, and Swarf Corrosion

Small holes, whether from rust, accidental impacts, or swarf left behind after roof work, are a typical cause for urgent metal roof repairs. Even a screw-sized hole allows enough water inside to start rot or rust.

We don’t just patch the visible holes; we look for surrounding swarf and early corrosion to ensure a thorough fix with long-lasting results.

Flashing and Penetration Failures

Incorrectly installed or aging flashings are a common cause of persistent leaks, particularly around roof edges, skylights, and penetrations like solar panel mounts. Our team at Five Star Roofing inspects every flashing and penetration when we perform metal roof repairs, replacing or resealing sections as needed to protect your home from water entry.

If you notice any of these problems or just want peace of mind, give our team a call. We’re here to help with expert assessment and reliable metal roof repair across NSW and QLD.

 

 

How to Maintain Your Metal Roofs

Staying on top of metal roof maintenance extends its life and helps prevent major repairs down the track. Our team at Five Star Roofing follows these principles every day, drawing on decades of hands-on experience across NSW and QLD.

Below, you’ll find practical steps that safeguard your investment and keep your metal roof performing as it should.

Routine Inspection and Cleaning

We recommend inspecting your metal roof at least twice a year, once after summer and again as winter wraps up. It’s especially important following severe weather. Clearing away leaves, dirt, and other debris stops water from collecting in gutters and along seams.

Our crew uses soft brushes and non-abrasive methods to avoid damaging protective coatings. We also pay close attention to fasteners and panel overlaps, checking for early rust or loose fixings that can go unnoticed from the ground.

Rust and Corrosion Prevention

Corrosion often starts around fasteners, joints, and areas where the paint is chipped or peeling. Our technicians spot these issues early. We gently remove surface rust and use purpose-made primer and touch-up products to seal the area.

For homes close to the coast or in humid environments, we recommend more frequent rinsing to clear salt and residue that contributes to corrosion. Staying proactive on this front can save significant repair costs later.

Seals, Flashings, and Fastener Checks

We regularly examine all sealants and flashings, especially around skylights, vents, and chimneys. Over time, these areas are prone to cracking or shrinking, which can let water in. Our team replaces degrading sealants with flexible products suited to the expansion and contraction metal roofs experience.

We also check for loose or missing roof screws, using manufacturer-approved replacements to avoid unnecessary galvanic reactions and maintain warranty compliance.

Safe Equipment and Add-Ons Handling

Whenever HVAC, solar panels, or other equipment gets added, we verify that all penetrations are correctly sealed. Our installers refer to the latest guidelines so that mounts or brackets don’t cause leaks or void your roof’s warranty.

After every job, we double-check for accidental scratches or missed sealant areas that can lead to problems later.

If you have concerns with your metal roof or want professional maintenance handled with care and knowledge, contact Five Star Roofing. We can help prevent small issues from becoming large, expensive repairs.

How We Handle Metal Roof Repair

When you call us for metal roof repair, our approach is all about clarity and getting your roof right the first time.

Inspect for Damage and Weak Spots

We carefully inspect your metal roof to identify leaks, rust spots, loose panels, and any signs of wear. We also consider the age of the roof and look for problems that often crop up after storms. By doing this, we know whether a simple repair is best or if something more involved is needed.

Repair Using Proven Techniques

Our team focuses on fixing the problem areas only, using quality materials that match your existing roof as closely as possible. We keep disruptions minimal and work fast, but we never cut corners. Whenever we finish, your roof is safe, sound, and ready to handle our local weather.

Detailed Roof Painting and Resealing

Once repairs are complete, we reseal and coat the affected areas. This protects against future rust and ensures the repaired section weathers evenly with the rest of your roof. This step also helps maintain the overall appearance of your property.

Conduct Final Site Tidy and Quality Check

We clean up any debris from the repair process and do a final inspection. Our team leaves your home as we found it, and we won’t call the job done until the roof meets our standards.

Frequently Asked Questions

If your metal roof is showing widespread rust, frequent leaks, or panels that are noticeably deteriorated across large areas, a restoration is usually more appropriate than a simple repair.

Repair is best for localised issues like a couple of leaks or small rust spots, whereas restoration is ideal when the entire roof’s protective coatings and appearance are compromised but the roof structure itself is still sound.

In Australia, the typical cost for a metal roof restoration ranges from $3,000 to $12,000, depending on roof size and condition, while a basic repair can often be completed for less.

We recommend a full professional inspection to help you weigh up the costs and benefits, and tailor the approach to your property’s age and location.

If you’re unsure which option is best for your roof, contact us for expert advice and a transparent quote.

In Sydney, the cost to repair a metal roof generally falls between $350 and $1,200 for minor issues such as patching small leaks or replacing a few sheets, although extensive damage or specialised repairs can push the range higher. Factors that influence your repair price include the roof’s size, access difficulty, the extent of rust or storm damage, and whether replacement panels need colour matching to your existing roof.
We always factor in the specifics of your property, age, pitch, and material type, and provide upfront estimates tailored to your needs. We recommend getting a site inspection, as unseen damage or underlying problems can affect both costs and the recommended repair strategy.
If you need a clear quote or advice for repairs in Sydney, get in touch with our team for fast local assistance.

In most cases, routine metal roof repairs in Queensland do not require council approval as long as you’re restoring existing roofing and not making structural changes. Small jobs like patching leaks or replacing a few metal sheets are usually considered maintenance.

However, if your repairs involve significant structural work or a total replacement that could alter the look or integrity of your roof, local councils may need to be notified, and you may need a building approval.

Our team always recommends checking with your local council before starting larger repair jobs to avoid any compliance issues. If you are unsure or want advice tailored to your property, contact us for guidance and a no-obligation quote.

The time needed for metal roof repair in Melbourne often depends on the size of the roof and the extent of the damage. In most cases, smaller repairs, such as patching a leak, fixing a few sheets, or sealing minor rust, are completed within one day.
However, if your property has complex access, multiple panels to be replaced, or unexpected wet weather, repairs can stretch to several days.
At Five Star Roofing, we factor in Melbourne’s unpredictable weather and local property types when assessing your job, aiming for minimal disruption while maintaining quality.
If you need a clear idea of the timeframe and cost for your metal roof repair, call us for an on-site assessment and fast, reliable service.
