What's Involved in a Conversion

Switching from tile to metal is a bigger job than a standard re-roof. Doing it properly protects your investment for decades to come. Our process is designed to minimise disruption while ensuring your new roof performs exactly as it should.


Here's what our tile to metal roof conversion typically involves:


  • Removal & disposal of existing roof tiles
  • Structural assessment to confirm your roof frame can support the new roofing
  • Installation of new battens, sarking & insulation where required
  • Fitting of Colorbond metal sheeting, flashing & trim
  • Final inspection to ensure watertightness & compliance


If your existing roof has sustained storm or hail damage, it's worth checking whether an insurance roof replacement could apply before committing to a full conversion. Our team can talk you through your options either way.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Can I go tile to metal without a full reroof?

    In most cases, a tile-to-metal conversion involves fully removing the existing tiles rather than roofing over them. This allows us to properly assess the structure underneath and ensure the new metal roof is installed correctly.

  • How long does a tile-to-metal conversion take?

    Most residential conversions take between one and two weeks, depending on the size and complexity of your roof, as well as weather conditions during the project.

  • Is a metal roof heavier or lighter than tile?

    Metal roofing is significantly lighter than tile, which reduces the load on your roof structure and can even improve your home's energy efficiency.

  • Will converting to metal affect my home's appearance?

    Not at all. With a wide range of Colorbond colours and profiles available, we can match a style that suits your home while giving you the benefits of a modern metal roof.
