Tile Roof Replacement
One of the best kinds of roof replacement is moving from tile to iron or Colorbond. This one is more economical throughout the whole of Adelaide as tradesmen and people realize how the original tiled roofs are reaching the end of their serviceable life in the older houses. A roof replacement has a huge value if it is considered in the long term. Most homes assure themselves good protection through warranty terms and the peace of mind a roof replacement can give.
During a roof repair, we might also need bedding, and replacing any old rusted valleys or flashings. It takes quite a time, but don’t worry; our Newcastle roofing professionals will get it all done in a couple of days. To keep our workers the same, we will also install safety railings on the roof edge as per Victoria Work Safe Rules.
The Benefits of Roof Replacement
There are many benefits of roof replacement on an original tiled roof with Colorbond. Other than the obvious points of the increase in property value and the peace of mind brought by a 15-year leak-free warranty, these are some of the key benefits of roof replacement:
Roof Insulation
The original tiled roof of your house fights with plenty of thermal mass and offers little insulative benefits. That is why we highly recommend adding a 60mm foil-backed glass wool insulation blanket. We placed it directly against the new roof sheeting when our Newcastle roof replacement professionals tiled the roof with iron roofing. This method of installation is incredibly efficient in blocking out the heat and makes a huge difference in the ability to control the temperature for both summer and winter.
Weight Reduction
With a tiled roof replacement with a metal roof, you will see the weight reduced from about 15 tonnes to approximately 1.5 tonnes. This weight reduction is important because it helps stop cracking in the house’s structure and sagging in the roof. Our roof replacement Newcastle takes this opportunity to straighten and repair issues. Rand roof members in the process of replacement suffer no further problems due to the new lighter roofing material.
Appearance
Following a full roof replacement, the new Colorbond roof does wonders for the appearance of your home. We use only top-quality Australian-made corrugated roof sheeting. Our commerical roofing Newcastle set new tile battens at 900mm maximum spacings for a flat surface. Straight screw lines and flashings that are neatly installed all add up to the finished look of our work.
Noise Suppression
Most people are concerned about noise with a new Colorbond roof. But Newcastle roofing professionals use foil-backed insulation blankets goes a long way towards reducing the noise from rain. It also helps to a less creaking noises of metal expanding and contracting.
Dust and Bushfire Risk
A tiled roof replacement with a Colourbond roof is beneficial in buffeting bushfire zones. This is because this seals off many entry points for embers and debris, reducing fire risks. Our roofing contractors Newcastle team install ember gutter mesh for a fully protected roof space. Another great thing to notice is that when replacing tiles with Colourbond, dust, and pollens have no entry inside. It makes the roof space way more hygienic.
Increased Property Value
A new roof increases your home’s value through a substantial sum. Buyers make sure that a seller has a structurally sound roof. It influences well towards buying a house rather than one in which much roof work is needed. That is why roof replacement is important.

What are the pros and cons of roof replacement?
The idea of replacing a roof that already exists. Getting new material for a roof, or starting the repair on a roof can be a massive development for a homeowner. Here are the pros and cons of roof replacement:
Pros
- It can bring peace of mind.
- Replacing an old roof with a new roof gives an aesthetic look.
- It provides better insulation or lower energy bills (solar roofing tiles, for example.)
Cons
- A roof installation or entire roof replacement cost can be a large number.
- Roofing specialists can take weeks for a roof replacement.
- You need to hire an experienced roofing contractor (you can’t do it yourself.)
Roof replacement costs
Roofing companies will charge a significant amount for a roof replacement but our Newcastle roofing professionals can have your work done on a suitable budget. The cost of replacing roof materials can run high and amounts to a substantial investment. But it is not just the materials for the roofing that cost so much. The cost of a roof replacement will depend on the following:
- Roof size (materials cost per square meter)
- The location of the property
- The architectural design of the roof
- Amount of labor necessary
The total cost for roof replacement in Australia ranges between $5,000 and $20,000, considering the above factors. But don’t worry our Newcastle roofing professionals can do this on a suitable budget. Yet, a new roof for a large home with the most expensive materials can cost considerably more.
Your choice of roofing material is one the most determinant factor of your roof
replacement costs. Concreting tiles are the cheapest roofing material, followed by steel, color bond, and clay/stone tiles.
The most expensive roofing material is terracotta tiles. As we said before the cost of roofing materials will be per square metre. For your roofing cost, expect to pay somewhere in the range of:
- $8 per square meter to $10 per square meter for the sarking
- $40 per square meter to $60 per square meter for concrete tiles
- $50 per square meter to $70 per square meter for steel roofing
- $80 per square meter to $110 per square meter for terracotta tiles
- $200 per square meter to $500 per square meter for a traditional slate tiled roof
The quotes you get for your roofing cost will be based on the size of your roof; however, they also take into account the complexity of your roof design. For example, a simple gable roof will be less expensive per square meter than having multiple gables.
Roofing types In Roof Replacement
There are different types of roofs. The cheapest to replace is a skillion roof because it is a fairly simple design. But some, like the gambrel roof, will be more expensive than others. A gambrel roof is divided into four parts and has a large overhang.. A hip roof has ‘hips’ at the ends of the gables. You can have a gable roof, which is like an inverted ‘V’. A mansard roof resembles a barn roof. A dormer roof has extra roofing for windows.
The last element that affects your roof replacement costs is if your new roof needs extra structural work. For instance, if there is rotten timber that will need to be replaced if your roof is made out of asbestos. If you are replacing a lighter material with a heavier one that needs more support. This also fluctuates the pricing of roof replacement.
