Colorbond & metal roofing on the Northern Beaches
Steel roofing that is lightweight, durable and suited to coastal Sydney, selected and installed to suit your building.
Overview
Colorbond & metal roofing done properly
Metal roofing is a popular choice across Sydney. It is light, quick to install, sheds water efficiently and comes in a wide range of colours and profiles to suit everything from a beach house to a contemporary extension.
We install new metal roofs on houses, additions, carports and commercial buildings, with the flashings, trims and gutters to match.

What to look for
Choosing a metal roof
- Profile: classic corrugated, wider ribbed profiles, or concealed-fix panels for a cleaner look
- Colour: lighter colours reflect more heat; darker colours absorb more
- Approvals: BASIX, development consent or heritage controls may set the roof colour or material
- Location: steel grades and products are specified differently for sites near the ocean
- Noise and heat: an insulation blanket under the sheets reduces rain noise and heat gain

-
Specify
We talk through profile, colour and the right product for your location and any approval requirements.

Install and finish
The roof is installed with flashings and trims, connected to the drainage, and the site cleaned up.
Local knowledge
Metal roofs by the beach
Homes close to the surf in Manly, Freshwater, Curl Curl, Dee Why, Narrabeen and Avalon are exposed to salt-laden air. Roofing manufacturers publish guidance on which products suit marine environments, based on distance from salt water and breaking surf. We take this into account when we specify your roof.
Some parts of the Northern Beaches and North Shore are bushfire-prone land, where building rules can affect roofing materials, sarking and gutter protection. If your property has a bushfire attack level (BAL) rating, let us know when you request a quote.
Questions
Colorbond & Metal Roofing FAQs
More questions? See the Roofing services page or call us on 0416 069 926.
Is a metal roof noisy when it rains?
Rain is more audible on metal than on tiles, but an insulation blanket installed under the sheets greatly reduces the noise and also helps with heat. Most homeowners find it a soft, steady sound rather than a loud one.
Which metal roof is best near the beach?
It depends on how close you are to breaking surf or salt water. Manufacturers make products for marine conditions and set warranty terms by distance from the coast. We will recommend a suitable product for your address.
How long does a metal roof last?
It depends on the product, how exposed the site is, and maintenance such as keeping gutters clear and washing salt off areas the rain does not reach. Manufacturers publish product warranties that vary by location, and we can talk you through them.
