New roofs, full re-roofs, and material changes — when the existing roof has aged out and a section-by-section repair no longer makes sense. Colorbond and metal in every Adelaide-relevant profile, terracotta and concrete tile installations, and the structural fascia and batten work that comes with stripping back to bare timber.

What’s included
Colorbond and metal re-roofs
The most-requested roof material in Adelaide. Bluescope Colorbond in standard and Matt finishes, Trimdek profile for shallow pitches, Custom Orb (corrugated) for traditional Federation and 1920s look-alikes, Spandek for premium architectural builds. Installed to the manufacturer’s specifications. Installs follow BlueScope’s specifications so the applicable BlueScope warranty can be registered in your name.
Terracotta and concrete tile installations
Boral, Bristile, and Monier ranges. Original-house-character matches for inner-Adelaide heritage homes; modern flat-tile builds for contemporary new-builds. Sarking and battens replaced as part of the full strip; ridge cap bedding and pointing finished in the operator’s house style (most go flexipoint over cement now).
Tile-to-Colorbond conversions
A common Adelaide upgrade — the existing concrete tile roof is at 30-40 years and the supporting structure can take Colorbond’s lighter weight. Converting saves approximately half the long-term maintenance budget (no rebedding, no broken tiles, no re-painting). Cost depends mostly on whether new battens go in.
New-build installations
Working from the architect’s specification. Sarking, batten layout, valley iron, ridge ventilation, gutter integration. Coordination with the builder’s program. Final certificate-of-compliance for the building inspector.
Commercial and industrial roofs
Trimdek and Klip-Lok for low-pitch commercial sheds, warehouses, and small-business premises. Translucent panel integration where natural-light penetration is part of the brief. Site-survey-based quoting (no drone-only estimates for jobs over 200sqm).

Your quote depends on roof access, pitch, the structural condition of the existing battens and fascia, asbestos presence, and the material grade. A site visit gives us enough to scope it accurately.
Process
- Site visit and inspection (free, included in the quote process). We climb the roof, photograph the condition, measure, and look for hidden costs (asbestos sarking, rotted fascia, undersized timber).
- Written, itemised quote within 24–48 hours. Material grade specified, paint colour confirmed if Colorbond, manufacturer warranty registration noted.
- Material order and scheduling. Standard Colorbond colours typically 2–3 weeks lead; non-standard colours and tile orders can run 4–6 weeks.
- Strip and re-roof. Single-storey usually 3–5 days weather permitting. Double-storey 5–8 days.
- Handover and warranty paperwork. The BlueScope or tile-manufacturer warranty paperwork is in your name; the workmanship terms on your quote sit alongside.

Frequently asked
How long does a Colorbond paint warranty last? BlueScope offers warranties on COLORBOND® steel of up to 36 years for some products and roofing applications. The term that applies depends on the product, colour and site conditions (such as distance from the coast or industrial areas), and on installation and maintenance to BlueScope’s guidelines. The warranty can be registered in the homeowner’s name through BlueScope’s warranty system.
Can the roof be installed in winter? Yes — Adelaide winters are mild enough for roofing work most weeks. The exception is heavy-rain forecasts (we won’t strip a roof if rain is forecast within 48 hours).
Will my house be open to the weather during the strip? The roof is stripped and re-laid in sections; sarking provides waterproofing while sheets are off. In a worst-case rain event mid-strip, the open section is tarped. Ask any roofer how water damage during the works is covered before you sign.
How much does a new roof cost in Adelaide? A single-storey Colorbond re-roof of 130–170 sqm typically costs $15,000–$28,000, and a double-storey $24,000–$45,000. A tile-to-Colorbond conversion typically runs $22,000–$45,000. Access, pitch, roof shape and the condition of the battens and fascia move the price, so your written quote itemises each part.
What does a new roof installation in Adelaide involve? We measure and inspect the roof, then strip the old material in sections, check and replace battens where needed, lay sarking or an insulation blanket, and fix the new sheeting or tiles with new ridge capping, flashings and gutters as quoted. The site is cleaned up and you get a handover with any manufacturer warranty registration details.
How long does a roof installation take? A typical single-storey Colorbond re-roof takes several working days on site, longer for tile, double-storey or complex roofs. Weather and material lead times affect the start date. Our guide on how long an Adelaide roof replacement takes goes into more detail.
