Reliable Metal Roof Restoration Company in Australia

At Five Star Roofing, we specialise in comprehensive metal roof restoration services tailored for Australian homes. Our team expertly revitalises iron, tin, and steel roofs that are showing surface wear, corrosion, or faded finishes, but remain structurally sound. It is a core part of our full range roof restoration services and support.

Restoration involves a thorough cleaning, application of protective coatings, and detailed sealing, returning your roof to its optimal condition and appearance. This process extends your roof’s lifespan, boosts energy efficiency with modern reflective finishes, and enhances your property’s value. You get this all without the cost and disruption of a full replacement.

We’re dedicated to sustainable solutions, reducing waste by restoring rather than replacing where possible. If your metal roof is tired but intact, Five Star Roofing is ready to help you preserve your investment and keep your home looking its best for years to come.

 

 

What’s Included in a Metal Roof Restoration

Metal roof restoration is a targeted process that gives old or weathered metal roofing new life, without the cost and disruption of a full replacement. In Australia, it’s a proven way to address corrosion, leaks, and aesthetic wear on Colorbond, Zincalume, or galvanised steel roofs.

Our team at Five Star Roofing follows a systematic approach that’s been refined over nearly twenty years on hundreds of local homes and commercial sites.

Detailed Inspection & Assessment

Every metal roof restoration starts with a comprehensive inspection. We check for loose or rusted sheets, failing fasteners, and signs of leaks or water ingress. This thorough assessment allows us to plan targeted restoration, ensuring we address obvious issues and those developing underneath.

Cleaning, Preparation, and Repairs

The next step is deep cleaning using industrial high-pressure water jets. This stage removes contaminants, debris, and flaking coatings to expose the metal’s true condition. We repair or replace damaged sheets and fasteners, particularly if cyclone washers are needed in exposed areas. Our metal roof restoration process often catches problems missed by DIY efforts,

Advanced Anti-Corrosion Treatment

After cleaning and repairs, treating rust and applying high-grade primers is critical. We use metal-specific primers and rust inhibitors designed for Australian conditions, followed by flexible UV-stable coatings that seal and protect.

These coatings restore colour, improve resistance to future corrosion, and can include heat-reflective options for greater energy efficiency, without interfering with rainwater harvesting, if your property uses it.

Sealing, Final Checks, and Compliance

All joints, laps, and penetrations are resealed using top-quality materials for lasting weatherproofing. At Five Star Roofing, our team finishes every job with a detailed quality check, ensuring all work meets Australian Standards and your expectations. We’re fully compliant with state regulations and safety codes, so you can be confident in the end result.

 

If your metal roof is showing signs of age or leaks, get in touch with us. Our team will provide you with a clear and comprehensive metal roof restoration plan that adds value, durability, and peace of mind.

 

 

Why You Should Consider Metal Roof Restoration

Metal roof restoration offers a range of practical benefits for Australian homeowners and business operators. Our team at Five Star Roofing has restored hundreds of metal roofs across NSW and QLD, so we know first-hand how this service can extend the life of your roof and add value to your property.

Lower Overall Roof Costs

Restoring a metal roof is significantly less expensive than a full replacement, usually only 25 to 40 percent of the cost. Instead of removing and disposing of your existing roof, we focus on repairs and recoating. This process keeps more money in your pocket and avoids unnecessary disruption at home or work.

Extended Roof Lifespan

A properly restored metal roof can see an extra 10 to 20 years of service. Our team addresses rust, leaks, and wear before they develop into structural issues. We tailor each restoration to your roof’s condition, protecting your investment and delaying the need for expensive capital works. Our experience spanning nearly two decades ensures the right approach every time.

Improved Energy Efficiency

Metal roof restoration is the time to upgrade to heat-reflective coatings. These advanced coatings reduce your roof’s surface temperature and help keep your property cooler during peak summer. We ensure the roof is sealed and insulated during the process, helping you save on energy bills and making the building more comfortable all year round.

Reduced Environmental Impact

Restoring a metal roof creates far less waste than a replacement. We keep the existing structure in place, lowering landfill contributions and demand for new materials. The work itself is faster, allows most daily activities to continue with little interruption, and supports a more sustainable approach to property maintenance.

 

If you want to extend the lifespan of your property’s metal roof, Five Star Roofing can help with solutions tailored for long-term performance. Get in touch for professional advice on whether restoration is the right fit for your roof.

 

 

How We Work Across NSW and QLD

Our team at Five Star Roofing provides metal roof restoration across key regions in NSW and Queensland. With nearly 20 years of experience, we tackle everything from coastal corrosion in Newcastle and Bayside Melbourne to thermal expansion concerns in regional Victoria.

We also come in if you need to restore a Colorbond® roof, or any other roofing material for that matter, tailoring every project to local climate conditions and building standards.

Coastal Protection for Metal Roofs

Salt air and moisture along the NSW coast, including Newcastle, create high risks for roof corrosion and leaks. Our technicians use advanced sealing and roof ventilation techniques, ensuring every metal roof restoration withstands the coastal environment. We always stay up to date on regulations specific to these areas, so safety and compliance are guaranteed.

Urban and Regional Metal Roofs

From Brisbane’s humid subtropical climate to the dry heat in Adelaide and the mixed conditions across Greater Melbourne, each location brings unique challenges. We use premium coatings, manage all compliance paperwork, and apply specialist cleaning to eliminate growth and prevent thermal expansion issues.

Our processes address both urban developments and regional homes, maintaining metal roof integrity under a variety of environmental pressures.

Roof Restoration for All Property Types

We’re well-versed in restoring metal roofs for heritage homes, new builds, and commercial premises in cities like Brisbane, Ballarat, and the Mornington Peninsula. Our scope includes detailed inspections, repairing corrosion or rust, and using industry-preferred materials such as Colorbond® for a durable and visual result.

Our Metal Roof Restoration Process

At Five Star Roofing, we approach every metal roof restoration with experience and care. Here’s what you can expect when our team looks after your roof.

Inspect Present Roof Condition

First, we visit your property and thoroughly assess the metal roof. We look for signs like faded paint, minor corrosion, and any leaks to make sure the structure is still sound. If your roof only shows surface issues, not rust right through or severe damage, restoration is a smart move.

Make Repairs & Prepare Surface

Once we know the roof is suitable, we move on to prepping and repairing. Our team repairs or replaces problem areas, treats rust spots, and reseals seams and fasteners. Careful preparation means your fresh coatings or paint will last and protect for years to come.

Paint With Protective Coatings

Once repairs are sorted, we apply high-grade primers and roof paint suited to Australian conditions. This step restores appearance and protects the metal from weather and UV, helping prevent future issues.

Perform Final Inspection

After painting, we complete a detailed inspection of the entire roof surface and all coated areas to confirm full coverage and quality workmanship. We also conduct a final site clean-up, removing equipment and waste before handover.

Frequently Asked Questions

If your metal roof is displaying widespread wear like faded coatings, frequent leaks across multiple spots, or patches of minor rust, a full restoration is usually better value than a simple repair. Restoration is ideal when the underlying structure is still sound but the overall surface is deteriorating. Think repeated leaks or visible weathering harming both looks and performance.

Compared to basic repairs, which only fix isolated issues (minor leaks and localised cracks), restoration covers cleaning, resealing, corrosion prevention, and protective coatings to add years of life and boost energy efficiency for your whole roof.

At Five Star Roofing, we’re happy to assess whether restoration or just targeted repairs make the most sense for your situation. Get in touch for professional advice.

The cost to restore a metal roof in Australia generally falls between $100 and $250 per square metre, with the final price depending on factors like roof size, pitch, access, and the severity of current damage. If your roof is larger, particularly steep, or has complex architectural features, expect costs to land at the higher end of that range.

Unlike simple repairs, metal roof restoration includes cleaning, repairing minor rust or leaks, sealing, and applying specialised coatings for improved performance and energy efficiency, which all influence the price.

At Five Star Roofing, we always provide tailored quotes after a thorough on-site inspection, ensuring homeowners know exactly what is involved and what their options are. Reach out to our team for a clear assessment and transparent pricing for your property.

For most Australian homes, a metal roof restoration job typically spans three to five days from start to finish, depending on the roof’s size, accessibility, and the extent of cleaning or repair required. If we encounter areas needing extra attention, such as stubborn rust patches or multiple leaks, the process can stretch to a week.

Weather also plays a part. Heavy rain or winds may require us to pause for safety. At Five Star Roofing, we strive to minimise disruption by efficiently scheduling works and communicating timeframes clearly so you know exactly what to expect. If you want an accurate estimate for your roof, get in touch with our team for a personalised timeline and free quote.

In most Australian locations, metal roof restoration does not require council approval when you are working with an existing structure and not altering the building height or footprint. Restoration work typically covers cleaning, rust removal, repairing leaks, and applying protective coatings, which are seen as maintenance rather than major construction.

However, if your property is heritage-listed or located in a bushfire-prone area, extra regulations might apply, and you could need council clearance or specific permits. At Five Star Roofing, we always recommend checking your local council’s guidelines before starting a project, especially for homes in sensitive zones.

If you are unsure or want help navigating local requirements for your restoration, contact our team and we will guide you through the process so your project proceeds smoothly.
