This residential re-roofing project was completed at a single-storey brick home in Briar Hill, in Melbourne's north-eastern suburbs. The homeowner required a full roof replacement following the deterioration of the existing roofing material, which had reached the end of its serviceable life.

​

VIC Metal Roofing was engaged to remove the existing roofing, inspect and prepare the substrate, and install a new Colorbond steel roofing system. The completed installation delivers long-term weather protection, a clean contemporary finish, and significantly improved performance compared to the original roof.

Project type:  Residential Re-Roofing

Location:  Briar Hill VIC 3088

Service:  Full roof replacement - removal of existing roofing and installation of new Colorbond steel system

​

• Full removal of existing roofing material and disposal

• Inspection of roof battens and sarking - replacement of damaged sections prior to installation

• Supply and installation of Colorbond Klip-Lok concealed-fix steel roofing

Colorbond Steel - Klip-Lok Concealed-Fix Profile

The Klip-Lok concealed-fix profile was selected for this project, delivering a clean, uninterrupted roofline with no visible fasteners on the finished surface. The concealed clip fixing system provides superior watertightness compared to exposed-fastener profiles and gives the roof a contemporary, architectural appearance well suited to the home.

Installed in Colorbond Ironstone - a deep charcoal tone from the BlueScope Steel colour palette - the new roof provides a strong, modern contrast against the home's brick facade. Colorbond steel is specifically engineered for Australian conditions, providing long-term resistance to UV, heat, and weathering across Melbourne's variable climate.

The Klip-Lok profile is suitable for low roof pitches, accommodates thermal expansion across long straight runs, and carries a BlueScope manufacturer's material warranty.

The completed re-roofing project delivered a significant transformation to the home's appearance and performance. The new Colorbond Klip-Lok roof in Ironstone provides a bold, contemporary finish that modernises the property while offering decades of reliable weather protection.

​

All roof plumbing - gutters, fascias, and downpipes - was replaced as part of the project, ensuring the entire drainage system performs as a cohesive, matched unit. The homeowner now has a fully warranted roof system installed to manufacturer specifications with no exposed fasteners and no maintenance issues from the existing material.
