This is necessary if your existing roof is beyond repair or you want to modernise your home with a durable, low-maintenance roofing system.
Our expert roofers manage every stage of the process, from safe removal to precision installation, using genuine Colorbond® materials designed for Australia’s conditions. You can rely on Five Star Roofing for clear advice, transparent pricing, and workmanship that stands the test of time.
What’s Included in a Colorbond® Roof Replacement
Colorbond® roof replacement means removing your old roof, be it tiles, old metal, or even asbestos, and fitting it out with new Colorbond® steel. This work gives your home a roof that’s tough, long-lasting, and suited to what most Sydney houses need.
Our team at Five Star Roofing has handled every aspect of this process, from supply to complete install, across all types of properties for nearly two decades.
Removing Your Old Roof Safely
A key part of Colorbond® roof replacement is careful removal of the previous roofing. Whether it’s heavy tiles, dated metal, or sometimes hazardous asbestos, each job needs its own method and safety steps.
We always check the structure before starting, to make sure the roof frame is ready for a new Colorbond® system. Proper disposal and handling of waste is standard for our crew to keep your home and site safe.
Preparing Roof for New Sheets
Once we strip back your old roof, we check and reinforce your timber battens or roof trusses. This is crucial so the new sheets fit perfectly and stay secure over time.
During most roof replacements in Sydney, we add insulation and sarking under the steel for better energy performance and moisture control. Our installation work follows every required code, right down to flashing, fasteners, and edge detailing.
Choosing The Right Type Of Colorbond
There are plenty of Colorbond® options, from classic and contemporary profiles to special finishes that suit Sydney’s climate. For homes closer to the coast or in bushfire zones, we’ll often recommend Colorbond® Ultra or specific profiles for extra protection.
Our team can match over 20 standard colours, making sure the finished roof fits both your property and your needs.
Assessing If Roof Replacement Is Needed
If you’re seeing widespread rust, leaks after storms, broken tiles, or sagging rooflines, a full roof replacement might be necessary. Sometimes old roofs, especially those with asbestos, simply can’t be repaired safely. We provide thorough inspections so you understand your options before a decision is made.
When you’re ready for a roof that can handle decades of Sydney weather, reach out to Five Star Roofing for practical recommendations, as well as a detailed on-site assessment and replacement done to the highest standard from start to finish.
Why Choose Colorbond® Roofing
Colorbond® roof replacement offers Sydney homeowners a blend of proven durability, practical efficiency, and lasting value. Our team at Five Star Roofing has spent decades replacing every type of residential roof, so we’ve seen firsthand how Colorbond® stands up to local demands.
It’s more than just steel. It’s a system that solves common roofing headaches and brings real performance over time.
Durability and Lifespan
Colorbond® roofing is engineered for harsh conditions and tested to resist corrosion, chipping, and cracking. Its advanced paint finish protects against extreme sun and heavy rain, which is common across NSW.
Our installers follow manufacturer standards to ensure your roof lasts, and with basic maintenance, you can expect more than 30 years of service. Five Star Roofing handles hundreds of roof replacements yearly, and we’ve found Colorbond® to provide reliable protection with fewer repairs down the line.
Energy Efficiency
One standout benefit of Colorbond® Roof Replacement is thermal performance. The Thermatech® coating actively reflects heat, helping to keep indoor spaces cooler and easing pressure on air conditioning.
For Sydney homeowners facing rising energy bills, this can translate to meaningful savings over the years. Our team makes sure each profile and colour is suited to your property’s exposure for maximum benefit.
Design Versatility
With over 20 colours and multiple profiles, Colorbond® adapts to everything from heritage homes to contemporary designs. This flexibility is important in Sydney, where property styles and council conditions vary widely. We work with you to choose a finish that fits both your house and neighbourhood, all while maintaining a long-lasting, crisp appearance.
Low Maintenance
Old roof tiles are prone to moss, leaks, and cracking. Colorbond’s smooth, robust surface sheds debris, resists moss growth, and doesn’t split under pressure or shifting. Our clients appreciate that required upkeep is minimal compared to older materials. This reduces both hassle and expense over the lifetime of your roof.
If you want a dependable, efficient, and attractive roof that suits Sydney conditions, our specialists at Five Star Roofing can talk you through options and next steps. Reach out if you have any questions or if you need to schedule an inspection.
Why You Should Consider Colorbond® Roofing Replacement
Colorbond® roof replacement comes with a range of practical advantages for Sydney homeowners. Our team at Five Star Roofing has worked with Colorbond® for decades and seen firsthand why it’s often the best solution for both new builds and replacements.
Weatherproof Finish
Colorbond® roofing is engineered to handle Australia’s toughest conditions. Its steel core, layered with protective coatings, means it stands up well to salt, wind, storms and strong sun. We use Colorbond® Ultra on homes near the coast for even more protection against rust.
In our roof replacements, we find that Colorbond® roofs consistently outlast many traditional options and need less maintenance over time.
High Energy Savings
Colorbond® roofs help manage indoor temperatures, which is a real bonus in Sydney’s mixed climate. The Thermatech solar reflectance technology minimises heat absorption, so homes stay cooler on hot days.
Our customers often report reduced cooling costs and overall energy bill improvement after a Colorbond® roof replacement, since there’s less need for air conditioning. This efficiency also helps the roof withstand expansion and contraction, keeping it watertight for years.
Lower Maintenance Costs
Unlike tiled roofs that need regular repairs and cleaning, Colorbond’s smooth surface resists dirt, moss, and lichen buildup. A quick rinse now and then usually keeps it in top shape. We install Colorbond® roofs that come with industry-backed warranties, typically lasting up to 36 years. That means fewer worries about unexpected costs or hassles.
Easy and Versatile Installation
Colorbond® is lighter than tile, so it puts less stress on your home’s frame. This makes it easier and safer for us to replace older roofs, even on complex or architecturally challenging properties. The modular panels also mean less time on site and minimal disruption for you and your neighbours.
If you want a roof replacement that delivers on performance, reliability, and value, talk to us about a Colorbond® solution for your Sydney property.
Our Process for Colorbond® Roof Replacement
Colorbond® roof replacement is a big decision for any Sydney homeowner. Here’s how we at Five Star Roofing guide you through every stage, keeping it simple and clear.
1. Assess Your Roof’s Condition
Our first step is a thorough inspection to see if a full replacement is needed. We check for issues like rust, leaks, sagging, or signs of old or hazardous elements in your existing roofing material, ensuring nothing is missed.
2. Remove Old & Existing Roofing
If replacement is the best option, we carefully remove the existing roof, whether it’s metal, asbestos, or cement roof. This allows us to check the underlying structure and fix any hidden problems before installing Colorbond® roof.
3. Manage Colorbond® Roof Installation
With the structure sorted, we fit the new replacement Colorbond® sheets. We ensure every sheet is properly aligned and all flashings, cappings, and fasteners are secured. The aim is a watertight, resilient roof installation that looks sharp.
4. Final Clean Up & Quality Check
Once we’re finished installing Colorbond, we remove all old scrap metal pieces and other waste materials, and clean up thoroughly. We run a final inspection to check workmanship, ensuring everything is sealed and finished correctly before we wrap up the job.
