How We Work With Strata Managers

Strata roof replacement projects in Australia demand efficient collaboration and clear communication. Our team at Five Star Roofing works directly with strata managers to keep projects organised, compliant, and as straightforward as possible for everyone involved.

Understand Strata Needs and Compliance

We start every strata roof replacement with a detailed consultation alongside the strata manager. This means we review building plans, arrange inspections, and dig into any recurring roofing issues before suggesting solutions.

By doing so, we ensure every project meets building codes, aligns with local regulations and satisfies insurance requirements. Our team guides strata managers through relevant permits and helps prepare any necessary documentation for building records.

Transparent Quote and Project Plan

Clear and detailed quoting is essential for strata roof replacement. We supply itemised quotes that break down material and labour costs, addressing all phases including scaffolding, site management, and contingency plans for issues like hidden roof damage.

This transparency benefits strata managers when preparing budgets or working with owners’ committees. We’re always ready to answer questions or adapt quotes to meet unique property needs.

Support Resident Communication & Minimise Disruption

We know that clear communication makes a big difference during strata roof replacement works. Our team works closely with strata managers to provide project updates, notices, and detailed schedules, helping residents understand what to expect.

We offer template notifications and are happy to attend information sessions or answer owners’ questions directly. Minimising disruption is a priority, so we plan works and access to keep inconvenience to a minimum.

Quality Assurance, Handover, & Ongoing Support

At project completion, we conduct thorough joint inspections with strata managers. Every roof replacement includes full as-built documentation, photographic records, and warranty details for the building’s records.

We also discuss ongoing maintenance schedules and can organise future inspections to keep the building compliant and protected long-term. Strata managers can rely on our experience to help manage these records and future needs.

Our Licenses & Safety Standards For Strata Roof Replacement

Our team at Five Star Roofing prioritises clear compliance with all relevant regulations for strata roof replacement across NSW and QLD. We hold current licenses with the Queensland Building and Construction Commission (QBCC) and New South Wales Fair Trading.

Every project is completed according to local building codes, Australian Standards (AS1562.1 for metal and AS2050 for tile roofing), and strict strata property requirements. This ensures all work is legal, traceable, and consistently high-quality.

Meeting Strata Roof Replacement Compliance

Strata roof replacement demands thorough understanding of regulatory frameworks. Our team ensures every installation follows the Building Code of Australia and relevant Australian Standards.

Because strata work involves shared property, we also review existing by-laws so each step aligns with owners corporation guidelines. This eliminates compliance risks for owners and streamlines decisions during the approval process.

Licensed Roofing Contractors on Every Job

Five Star Roofing only employs fully licensed tradespeople for strata roof replacement services in Australia. We maintain up-to-date QBCC and Fair Trading credentials for all site supervisors and installers. Our twenty years’ experience means each job is handled by professionals who are qualified for both metal and tile roofing, always within the scope of what local law requires.

Guaranteed Safety and Workmanship

Worker safety is integral to our process. We use comprehensive safety measures for all high-access works, including harness systems and site-specific risk assessments. Our projects meet all fall protection and equipment standards.

We also maintain the correct insurances, including QBCC Home Warranty Insurance, protecting both owners and our team for every strata roof replacement in NSW and QLD.

 

If you want a clear, compliant, and safety-focused approach to strata roof replacement, our experienced team is ready to help guide you through the process.

 

 

Our Strata Roof Replacement Inspection Process

Assessing roofs for strata complexes across Australia is specialised work. Our team at Five Star Roofing follows a detailed, practical process for every Strata Roof Replacement job.

We know strata buildings require a different approach compared to single dwellings, and every inspection is thorough, documented, and focused on preventing costly surprises.

Surface Assessment and Roofing Materials

For each inspection, we start with a full survey of the external roof surfaces. Our team checks every visible area for cracked tiles, loose metal sheets, rust, or damage from previous repairs.

We look for common problems in strata settings, such as dislodged ridge capping or corrosion affecting multiple units. Because our background is in both tile and metal roofing, we spot issues early and advise on the best replacement options for your building.

Drainage Systems and Penetrations

We pay close attention to drainage and roof penetrations. Blocked or failing gutters are common on larger buildings and can quickly cause major water damage. Our roofers get up close, clearing out debris and checking every downpipe, flashing, vent, and skylight.

We make sure seals are intact and that water channels away from critical areas, helping to prevent leaks and long-term roof decay.

Reporting, Compliance, and Next Steps

After the physical inspection, we deliver a comprehensive report. This includes mapped photographs, clear descriptions of risks, and straightforward next steps for your strata committee or manager.

We make sure every recommendation aligns with relevant regulations and strata by-laws. Our records are thorough, which helps with insurance claims or budgeting for upcoming Strata Roof Replacement work.

 

If you manage or own a strata property in Australia and need expert advice on roof inspections or a full replacement, our experienced team can help. Get in touch to organise a tailored assessment.

 

 

How We Handle Strata Roof Replacement

At Five Star Roofing, we know strata roof replacement has its own steps and standards. Here’s how we approach each project to make it clear for owners and residents alike.

Assess the Existing Roof

We start with a thorough on-site inspection, checking for age, damage, and code compliance. This helps everyone understand if replacement is necessary and what’s needed to bring the roof up to standard.

Guide the Approval & Communication

Our team walks you through the official approval process, including what an owners corporation needs under strata rules. We make sure every owner is well-informed about timelines and any resident disruptions before work begins.

Replace with Licensed Trades Only

Once approved, only licensed and insured tradespeople handle the roof removal and installation. All work meets current Australian Standards, whether for tiles or metal, so there are no shortcuts or non-compliance issues.

Wrap Up With Clear Handover

After completion, we organise a final check and walk-through with representatives from the owners corporation. You get paperwork covering warranties, certification, and the steps for future maintenance.

Conduct Site Clean-Up & Safety Check

We finish every project with a thorough clean-up of the site, removing waste and leftover materials. Next, our team checks walkways, driveways, and communal areas to make sure they’re safe for residents before we leave.

Provide Ongoing Roof Maintenance Advice

We’ll also offer guidance on maintaining the new roof. You’ll get information relevant to your roof type, so property managers and residents know what to look out for in future.

Frequently Asked Questions

The cost for a full strata roof replacement in Australia can range anywhere from $250 to $600 per square metre, depending on factors like roof type (tile or metal), roof pitch, building accessibility, and the total area being replaced. Projects often start around $80,000 for small unit blocks but can climb well over $300,000 for larger or higher-end strata complexes, especially if structural upgrades or premium materials are involved.

All works must comply with Australian Standards, and you’ll need a licensed, insured contractor, like Five Star Roofing, who understands the complexities of strata approvals and warranty requirements. It’s important to gather several detailed quotes, factor in potential insurance offsets, and budget for resident communication and access arrangements throughout the project.

For specific pricing or advice on your building, contact us at Five Star Roofing for a tailored assessment and quote.

As a general rule, a full strata roof replacement is necessary when widespread damage, age, or major compliance issues make ongoing repairs impractical or uneconomical. You’ll typically need a replacement if your roof has reached the end of its service life. With issues such as multiple failing sections of tiles or metal, severe leaks across several areas, or if an inspection finds structural weaknesses.

Another key situation is when updating to new building codes becomes compulsory, like upgrading tie-downs for cyclones or meeting new waterproofing standards.

On the other hand, if problems are minor and isolated, such as the odd broken tile or a single area with flashing damage, a targeted repair might be enough, and will be less costly and disruptive.

We always recommend an independent roof inspection to guide your decision and can provide guidance on whether it’s time for a full replacement or just a repair. For advice specific to your building, get in touch for a professional opinion.

For most strata roof replacement projects in Australia, you typically do not need direct council approval as long as you are replacing the roof with like-for-like materials and there are no changes to the building’s external appearance or structure.

However, if your project involves significant alterations, such as updating from tiles to metal, changing roof profiles, or major structural upgrades, you may need development approval from the local council, especially in heritage-listed areas or if zoning rules apply.

Additionally, all works must comply with relevant Australian Standards and building codes, and you will need special resolution approval from the owners corporation before proceeding. We help guide strata committees through these steps and can liaise with councils if required, ensuring your replacement meets all legal and compliance requirements.

If you are unsure what approvals your project might need, contact us for tailored advice specific to your property.

Strata roof replacement timelines in Australia generally range from a few days for small buildings to several weeks for larger complexes, depending on factors like roof size, weather, and complexity.

During the works, residents should expect some noise, restricted access to certain areas, and temporary relocation of vehicles or amenities to ensure safety. At Five Star Roofing, we coordinate closely with strata managers and owners corporations to plan works in stages, minimise inconvenience, and provide advance notice for any disruptions.

Weather delays can occasionally impact timelines, especially during the wetter months, but good communication helps set realistic expectations.
