Whether you’re considering a Colorbond® roof upgrades for a modern, durable finish, as well as tile roof replacement to remove ageing or damaged tiles, our team provides expert craftsmanship using materials built to withstand Australia’s harsh climate.

We also handle complete roof installations for new builds or extensions and offer advice on long-lasting solutions like Colorbond® steel or classic tiled finishes.

We support insurance claims following hail or storm damage and offer guidance to help you choose the most suitable style and material for your property.

When You Should Consider Roof Replacement

A roof replacement is a significant investment that protects your home and keeps it compliant with current Australian standards. At Five Star Roofing, we understand the practical reasons behind upgrading or replacing roofs, and we’ve built our business on helping homeowners make informed decisions.

Here’s why roof replacement is important and how our team delivers the right solutions across NSW, QLD and the ACT.

Ageing Roofs and End-of-Life Tiles or Metal

Most roofs in Australia, whether tile or metal, have a lifespan of 20 to 50 years. As these materials age, their ability to resist leaks and withstand weather steadily declines. At Five Star Roofing, we make sure every new installation uses the latest durable materials to safeguard your property for decades to come. We regularly advise homeowners when replacement is more cost-effective than ongoing repairs.

Persistent Leaks and Water Damage in Roof Replacements

Repeated leaks and water stains, despite repairs, often mean the roofing system has reached its limit. Our team inspects for hidden structural issues that patch jobs miss, such as timber rot and compromised sarking.

We specialise in full roof replacements for NSW, QLD and the ACT clients, ensuring all affected areas are rebuilt to provide real long-term protection, not just a quick fix.

Severe Storm or Hail Damage Insurance Roof Replacement

Australian weather can cause widespread damage in one event, making spot repairs uneconomical and leaving homes vulnerable. As leading insurance roof replacement specialists, Five Star Roofing works directly with insurance providers to assess and restore storm, hail, or fire-damaged roofs.

We coordinate replacements that not only meet current building codes but also future-proof your home against similar events.

Upgrading for Compliance and Energy Efficiency

Older roofs may not meet today’s stricter codes or support upgrades like solar panels. Modern roof replacements with Five Star Roofing include energy-efficient systems, improved insulation, and compliance with all local and national standards.

We guide homeowners through each requirement and offer solutions that add comfort and potentially lower energy costs.

Roof Replacement Services We Offer

At Five Star Roofing, we provide a complete range of roof replacement services across Australia, covering residential, commercial, and strata properties.

Our experienced team works with both tile and metal roofing, offering tailored solutions no matter the size or style of your building.

We work closely with insurance, builders, and homeowners to deliver replacements built to last in all Australian environments.

Full Roof Removal and Disposal

Our process starts with the safe removal of your old roofing, including asbestos handling and full site cleanup. We make sure all waste is disposed of according to local regulations, minimising disruption and leaving your property tidy.

This careful approach ensures any hidden damage in the structure is uncovered and properly dealt with, giving your new roof the right foundation.

Structural Repairs and Upgrades

Beyond swapping out tiles or metal sheets, we inspect and repair roofing structures, battens, and trusses when needed. Substrate repairs for termite damage, rot, or old leaks are addressed before installation of your new roof.

We also give you options to upgrade insulation and sarking during replacement, improving energy efficiency and weather resistance for your building.

Integrated Guttering, Flashings, and Skylights

Replacing a roof often means updating gutters, fascia, and downpipes, especially with Colorbond® systems for complete weather protection. Our team integrates new flashings and skylights as required, ensuring a watertight and compliant finish.

We’re experienced with complex roofs, custom flashings, and can coordinate with solar or ventilation installs when required.

Insurance and Compliance

As insurance replacement specialists, we handle claims and documentation for storm or weather-damaged roofs. We manage bushfire safety requirements, BAL ratings, and final certification, making sure your project stays compliant with local codes.

Our team oversees each stage, from assessment to sign-off, and provides clear warranties and aftercare support.

For a thorough, compliant roof replacement that covers every detail, our local team is ready to help. Reach out for an expert assessment or to discuss your new roof’s options.

 

 

How We Handle Roof Replacements Across NSW, QLD and the ACT

At Five Star Roofing, we provide roof replacements throughout NSW, QLD and the ACT, covering everything from city centres to coastal towns and rural properties. Our team understands how each location brings unique considerations, whether you’re in a metro suburb, up the coast, or out in the regions.

We adapt our approach to the specific demands and expectations of each area, shaped by years of experience with tile and metal roofing for homes, strata, and commercial projects.

Navigate Local Council Regulations for Roof Replacements

Every area has its own council rules and approval processes for roof replacements. We make sure each job meets compliance standards, especially where heritage concerns or insulation upgrades are required.

We guide you through permit requirements and keep you updated, reducing delays and avoiding hidden hassles.

Address Site Access and Logistical Challenges

Our roof replacement service adapts to your property’s access and site layout. Tight city lots, multi-level extensions, steep coastal sites, or open rural blocks each need different scaffolding, safety, and waste management solutions.

We plan every replacement methodically so installations remain efficient and safe, no matter the obstacles.

Material Selection and Regional Preferences

NSW, QLD and the ACT homeowners have distinct roofing preferences and requirements due to the local climate and heritage needs. We source and supply Colorbond®, coated metal, and quality tile options that handle everything from coastal salt to bushfire risk.

We work with both local and trusted international suppliers, giving you access to a wider range of quality products with reliable turnaround times that suit your property and region.

We’ve built our reputation by working across diverse locations and adapting to specific local demands. If you’re ready to discuss a roof replacement, our team is here to offer clear advice tailored to your area.

 

 

Our Roof Replacement Process

Replacing a roof is a significant step for any homeowner. Here’s how we handle each project at Five Star Roofing to keep things clear and stress-free.

1. Review Your Roof’s Condition

We begin with a thorough on-site inspection, focusing on typical Australian roof types like tile and metal. Our team checks for storm damage, leaks, ageing materials, and any safety risks, all while making sure your roof complies with current Australian standards.

2. Discuss Next Steps With You

After inspection, we sit down to explain what we’ve found and whether a repair or full replacement best suits your situation. You’ll get honest advice about your options, including costs and what’s covered by insurance if storms or hail have caused major problems.

3. Replace The Old Roof Materials

If a full replacement is needed, we carefully remove the old materials and prepare the area for your choice of new tiles or metal roofing. Our crew works efficiently and safely, always keeping you updated as we go.

4. Focus On Neat, Compliant Results

We install the new roof to the highest standards, paying close attention to weatherproofing and looks. Once complete, we clean up and walk you through the work, making sure you’re happy with the outcome.

5. Conduct Final Checks and Quality Assurance

At this stage, we carefully inspect all aspects of your new roof, checking for weatherproofing, secure fittings, and finish quality. If anything needs attention, we handle it straight away before signing off on the work.

6. Provide Guidelines and Documentation

We walk you through the completed roof, provide care guidelines, and supply all necessary compliance and warranty documentation. You’ll have everything you need for peace of mind and future reference.

Frequently Asked Questions

The cost of a roof replacement in Australia generally ranges from $15,000 to $40,000, depending on factors like roof size, material choice (such as Colorbond® metal or terracotta tile), and the complexity of the installation.

Labour and access considerations, plus extras like insulation or guttering upgrades, can also affect the overall price. At Five Star Roofing, we always recommend a thorough site inspection so we can give you a transparent, tailored quote that reflects your property’s specific needs and meets strict Australian standards.

We also help with insurance claims when storm or hail damage is involved, which can sometimes offset the costs significantly. Need a personalised roof replacement estimate or just want some expert advice? Reach out to us and we’ll be happy to guide you through your options.

Deciding between a roof repair and a full replacement in Australia usually comes down to the extent and type of damage, the age of your current roof, and whether you’re experiencing repeated issues.

If your roof has widespread leaks, significant storm or hail damage, or is approaching the end of its expected lifespan (often 20 to 50 years, depending on the material), a full replacement is often the best long-term solution.

In contrast, isolated problems such as a few broken tiles or minor flashing issues can often be fixed with targeted repairs, which are less invasive and more budget-friendly.

At Five Star Roofing, we’ll thoroughly inspect your roof to give honest advice on whether repairs, restoration, or a complete replacement is most suitable, taking into account Australian standards and what will give you the best value over time.

If you’re unsure where your roof stands, get in touch for an obligation-free assessment and practical suggestions.

For most Australian homes, a standard roof replacement is completed in about three to seven days, although the timeline can shift depending on factors such as roof size, material selection, site access, and unexpected weather delays.

Larger or more complex roofs, or those affected by extensive storm damage, might take a bit longer to ensure full compliance with Australian standards and quality workmanship. If you’re making an insurance claim or need both removal and structural repairs, allow a little extra time for approvals and coordination.

At Five Star Roofing, we’ll always provide you with a clear timeline before work begins and keep you updated throughout the project, so you know exactly what to expect.

If you want a tailored estimate for your property, feel free to contact us for a friendly chat.

Choosing a full roof replacement in Australia comes with several key advantages over ongoing repairs, especially if your roof is nearing the end of its lifespan or has sustained widespread damage.

Investing in a replacement provides a brand new, compliant roof that not only meets the latest Australian standards for safety and energy efficiency but also significantly improves your home’s insulation and street appeal.

Modern materials like Colorbond® steel or quality tiles offer superior weather resistance and can help reduce long-term maintenance costs.
At Five Star Roofing, we find that a new roof also boosts your property’s value and can minimise the risk of future insurance claim issues, particularly if your area is prone to storms or hail.

If you’re weighing up your options, give us a call, our team is here to assess your roof’s condition and clearly explain what will provide the best long-term value for your particular home.
