Metal roof installation in Hobart typically costs more upfront than tile but less over a 20-30 year lifespan, thanks to lower maintenance and better performance against Tasmania’s coastal salt air and wind-driven rain. We install Colorbond steel in Trimdek, Klip-Lok and corrugated profiles, backed by a 15-year workmanship warranty and licence 505200030.
Tasmania’s climate asks more of a roof than most mainland conditions: salt-laden air rolling in off the Derwent and the coast accelerates corrosion on lower-grade materials, while exposed ridges at Mount Nelson, Mount Stuart, and the hillside suburbs around Glenorchy see wind loads that plain fixings can’t always handle long-term. Colorbond’s factory-applied coating system is built to resist this combination, and profile choice matters as much as material — Klip-Lok’s concealed fixing system performs better on exposed, high-wind sites, while Trimdek and corrugated suit standard suburban pitches at a lower cost.
We install Colorbond steel in a range of profiles to suit different homes, budgets, and site conditions.
The classic profile, cost-effective, suits heritage-adjacent renovations where the traditional look matters.
A stronger, more contemporary trapezoidal profile, a common choice for new builds and
extensions.
Concealed-fix, no exposed screws to work loose or corrode over time; the best choice for exposed, high-wind sites and coastal properties.
A professional step-by-step approach for a roof that’s built to last.
Checking roof pitch, structural condition, and exposure level before recommending a
profile.
(if replacing tile or old iron) — tear-off, disposal, and structural inspection of battens and rafters underneath.
Reflective foil sarking is installed to improve thermal performance and control condensation, which is important given Hobart’s cold, damp winters.
Profile fixed to specification, with attention to fastener spacing and flashing detail at every junction, valley, and penetration.
Ridge capping, gutters, and flashing checked before handover, with the workmanship
warranty issued on completion.
New metal roofing typically carries manufacturer coating warranties in the 20+ year range when installed to spec — our 15-year workmanship warranty covers the installation itself, separate from that material warranty.
Metal roofs can last 40 to 70 years, depending on the material and maintenance. They are highly durable and resistant to weather, rust, and fire.
No, when installed properly with insulation and underlayment, metal roofs are no louder than traditional roofs during rain.
Yes! Metal roofs reflect heat, reducing cooling costs by up to 25%, making them an eco-friendly and cost-effective option.
Metal roofs are low-maintenance, requiring occasional cleaning and inspections to ensure longevity and performance.
