We focus on preserving your existing metal roofing, improving its appearance and durability while extending its lifespan by up to 15 years. Every roof restoration is performed using high-quality paints and coatings that withstand Sydney’s varied conditions.
Our service is less disruptive and more affordable than full roof replacement, and all work meets NSW regulations. Trust Five Star Roofing for metal roof rejuvenation, long-term protection, and a finish you’ll be proud of—backed by our workmanship guarantee.
Why is Metal Roof Restoration Needed
Restoring a metal roof offers a range of practical advantages for property owners. Our team at Five Star Roofing has seen clients across Sydney benefit from preservation, efficiency upgrades, and enhanced building value when choosing metal roof restoration over full replacement.
Prolonged Roof Life and Asset Value
Metal roof restoration is a cost-effective way to add years, often a decade or more, to your roof without the disruption of a full replacement. We renew surfaces, address corrosion, and tighten up fasteners.
This stabilises the entire structure, protecting your home or building investment and avoiding unnecessary replacement costs. For many roofs aged 10 to 30 years, a targeted restoration can bring your roofing system close to its original condition.
Lower Costs with Less Disruption
Restoring rather than replacing a metal roof decreases costs by minimising the labour and materials involved. Our clients find that restoration typically costs less than half of a new install.
We work on your existing structure so you avoid lengthy construction timelines, large amounts of waste going to landfill, and interruptions to daily life. Most jobs can be completed quickly and with minimal impact on residents or operations.
Improved Weather and Corrosion Resistance
Our metal roof restoration process thoroughly removes rust, applies a protective coating, and repairs damaged areas. These steps help defend your building from leaks, wind-driven rain, and Sydney’s changing weather.
Using advanced coatings improves resistance to corrosion and UV rays, while our attention to gutters, flashing, and seams reduces the likelihood of future leaks.
Custom Solutions and Energy Savings
Five Star Roofing tailors restoration to suit your residential, strata, or commercial property. We apply coatings that reflect heat, which helps to reduce internal temperatures and lower power bills year-round.
We can also recommend ways to improve insulation or drainage if your building needs it, making the restored roof work harder for your comfort and safety.

Types Of Metal Roofs We Restore in Sydney
We’ve seen nearly every metal roofing style in Sydney homes and buildings. Over the years, our team at Five Star Roofing has developed specific restoration processes for each metal roof type, ensuring a longer life and better performance after every job.
Colorbond® Roofs
Colorbond® is among the most common steel roofing options for older and new properties. We tackle issues like fading, chalking paint, and early signs of corrosion, especially on exposed edges.
Our team thoroughly cleans the panels, treats rust patches, and selects coatings that restore appearance and protection. Because Colorbond® has so many colours and profiles, we dedicate time to accurate colour-matching, blending the finished result seamlessly with the original roof.
Corrugated Iron
Corrugated iron, both galvanised and Zincalume, is a classic feature on many Sydney properties. These roofs often suffer from patchy rust at overlaps, loose fixings, and poor drainage at valleys.
We start by high-pressure washing to uncover all problem spots. Then, we remove rust and strengthen or replace any failing fasteners. Once repairs are done, we apply a flexible coating designed to withstand weather for years.
Standing Seam & Klip-Lok
Modern standing seam, Klip-Lok, and Trimdek metal roofs can run into seam leaks and failed fastenings if neglected. Our team conducts a thorough inspection, checking every seam and clip before making tailored repairs.
Precision is key. We use specialised coating methods to suit these profiles, ensuring water tightness and safeguarding any existing manufacturer warranty.
Pressed Metal Tile
Pressed metal tile roofs mimic the look of traditional tiles but have different issues, like joint rust, tile movement, and panel dents. We replace or refasten any loose or damaged tiles, focusing on secure interlocking at joints to prevent leaks.
Our expertise includes sourcing coatings that restore the original finish and boost the roof’s rust resistance.
If you’re not sure what type of metal roof you have or whether it’s worth restoring, our team at Five Star Roofing can guide you through every step.
How to Maintain Metal Roofs
Proper maintenance keeps a metal roof reliable, watertight, and looking its best in Sydney. Our team at Five Star Roofing handles all aspects of metal roof restoration, so every detail is managed for lasting performance.
Bi-Annual Roof Inspections
We conduct thorough, systematic inspections twice yearly, focusing on areas prone to corrosion, loose fixings, and water entry.
This routine helps catch minor issues before they become major headaches. Our processes include internal checks in roof cavities and external reviews of flashings, fasteners, and joints.
Gutter and Drainage Cleaning
Blocked gutters or debris on your metal roof can trigger rust and water pooling, which are key causes of long-term damage. We include quarterly gutter and roof drainage cleaning as part of our metal roof restoration packages in Sydney. This ensures nothing impedes water flow, minimising the risk of edge and panel deterioration.
Rust Treatment and Fastener Replacement
We actively search for rust patches, especially around overlaps and fasteners, and treat them using industry-approved converters and rust-inhibiting primers. During restoration, all compromised fasteners are swapped for corrosion-resistant screws. This step is essential for preventing leaks and maintaining the structural soundness of metal roofs over the long term.
Documented Maintenance
Our team documents inspection results, repairs, and the products used for every metal roof restoration. We provide photographic records before and after each job. This helps homeowners manage their warranty obligations and supports insurance claims if any future problems arise.
If your metal roof needs restoring or you’d like clarification on maintenance, contact us. We handle every stage carefully, helping homeowners protect their investment and stay confident in their roof’s condition.
