Why metal roofing suits Mullumbimby

Metal roofing is a popular choice across the Northern Rivers. It suits modern designs and classic homes, and it performs well when installed correctly. Here is why many locals choose it.

• Clean, modern appearance
  Crisp lines and a broad colour range make it easy to match your home or extension.

• Lightweight and efficient
  Lighter than many traditional materials, which can help with renovations and re-roofs. It also places less load on older framing.

• Good water movement
  With the right profiles, falls and outlets, metal sheets move water quickly in heavy rain.

• Straightforward care
  A sensible maintenance routine keeps a metal roof looking tidy and working well.

If you want a roof that looks smart, drains well and is easy to live with, metal is worth a closer look.

What we install

We work with quality Australian roofing materials and a range of profiles suited to local conditions.

• Colorbond steel roofs
  A wide selection of colours and finishes to complement your home. Suits new builds and re roofs.

• Zincalume style finishes
  A clean metallic look that pairs well with timber, brick and concrete. Popular in modern and coastal designs.

• Profiles to suit design and pitch
  From classic corrugated to contemporary ribbed panels and architectural standing seam inspired looks. We help you match profile to roof pitch, wind rating and the look you want.

• Matching roof plumbing
  Gutters, fascia and downpipes in coordinating finishes so the whole roofline reads as one.

Not sure what will suit. We bring profile charts and colour options to the site and help you visualise the result.

Local factors we plan around

Mullumbimby has its own set of weather patterns and building realities. We install with those in mind.

• Heavy downpours
  Summer storms can arrive fast. We size gutters and downpipes to help water move away efficiently and position outlets where they work best.

• Humidity and coastal air
  Salt and moisture can travel inland. We detail roofs to reduce build-up points and encourage simple rinsing habits where homes are more exposed.

• Sun and temperature swings
  Roof sheets expand and contract throughout the day. We allow correct clearances, use suitable fasteners and set laps the right way.

• Wind exposure
  Sites vary across the shire. We select profiles and fixing patterns to suit your location and building height.

Our metal roofing services

New metal roofs

Building a new home, studio or secondary dwelling. We work from your plans, suggest profiles and colours, install sarking where specified, lay roof sheets, fabricate tidy flashings and fit gutters and downpipes. The aim is a weather ready roof that looks clean and drains properly.

Re roofing and conversions

Replacing tired tiles or older sheet metal. We remove the old materials in stages, keep the home protected and install a fresh metal roof with updated underlay, valleys and flashings. You get a neat result with minimal fuss.

Roof repairs and leak finding

From wind-lifted sheets to worn sealant, we track down the cause before we fix the symptom. We check laps, penetrations, valleys, fasteners and flashings, then repair or replace what is needed.

Gutters, fascia and downpipes

A roof only works as well as its drainage. We fit matching gutters and downpipes, set falls and position outlets sensibly. Leaf guards can be added where trees drop heavy leaf loads.

Custom flashings and penetrations

Skylights, chimneys, solar arrays and flues all need proper flashing. We fabricate custom pieces that fit well and shed water cleanly.

Roof plumbing for extensions

Adding a deck roof, carport or room. We tie new work into the existing roof, manage overflows and plan water paths so the addition looks right and performs as it should.

Insulation, sarking and ventilation

A comfortable home starts with a complete roof system, not just the outer sheets.

• Sarking and vapour control
  Helps with dust management, incidental moisture and provides a secondary barrier. We seal penetrations and keep laps tidy.

• Bulk insulation or roof blanket
  Can assist with comfort in summer and winter. We can include insulation in your scope if it suits your project.

• Ventilation
  Roof spaces can store heat on still days. Passive vents or whirlybirds can help with airflow. We discuss what makes sense for your roof design.

Bushfire and BAL notes

Some local properties carry a Bushfire Attack Level rating. We work to the design and the assessed level, which may include metal ember guards, appropriate mesh at openings and specific sarking and flashing details. If you are unsure where your home sits, we can talk through the typical allowances with your builder or designer.

Solar and services

Solar is common around Mullumbimby. Neat cable penetrations, correct stands and tidy flashing around rails matter. If you plan to add solar now or later, we are happy to coordinate with your installer so the roof remains weather-ready. The same goes for flues and vents. Purpose-made flashings look cleaner and help reduce maintenance.

Rainwater harvesting

If you collect water, sheet layout, gutter fall and outlet positions are important. We keep gutters free draining, avoid ponding points and set leaf guards where they make sense. First flush diverters and accessible filters can make ongoing care simpler. A well-planned roof and gutter system encourages a steady, clean flow to tanks.

Our step-by-step process

1. Site visit and measure
   We check your roof or framing, confirm access and talk through profile, colour and any extras you are considering.

2. Clear written scope
   You receive a straightforward plan that covers materials, profile, inclusions and the sequence of works. No jargon.

3. Preparation
   Roofs are staged so the home stays protected. On new builds, we confirm the set out and falls before sheets go on.

4. Installation
   Sheets are fixed with suitable fasteners at the correct spacing. Laps are aligned and sealed where specified. We fabricate flashings to fit, then install gutters and downpipes with set falls and practical outlet positions.

5. Checks and tidy
   We walk the roof, look over fixings and flashings and make sure water paths are clear. Then we remove offcuts, gather stray screws and leave things neat.

6. Handover and simple care tips
   We run through easy maintenance so you know how to look after the roof.

Common issues we correct during a re roof

• Water tracking at laps
  If laps are set poorly or run the wrong way, water can creep in. We correct direction and seal where specified.

• Undersized downpipes
  Heavy rain can overwhelm small outlets. We may suggest increasing capacity so water moves away more easily.

• Valleys that trap debris
  Valleys collect leaves in this region. We improve falls and, if needed, replace valley trays with new metal sets to the right pitch.

• Old improvised penetrations
  Antenna mounts and similar items can leave messy holes. We repair sheets and flash properly.

• Loose or tired fixings
  Movement can slacken screws over time. We replace with suitable fasteners and check embedment.

Profiles, colours and finishes

Choosing the right profile and colour is about both performance and style.

• Profiles
  Classic corrugated gives a soft, traditional look. Ribbed trapezoidal profiles feel modern and handle long runs well. Architectural standing-seam-inspired panels suit contemporary designs. We match profile to pitch, span and site exposure.

• Colours
  Natural earthy tones, coastal greys, deep charcoals and light reflective shades are all available. We can show you charts and samples on site so you can see options in natural light and against your brick, render or timber.

• Finishes
  Standard colour finishes, matte options and metallic looks can change how the roof feels from the street. We can talk through what suits your design.

Simple care for a long-lasting metal roof

Metal roofs are easy to look after. A few light habits go a long way.

• Give the roof a gentle hose rinse now and then, especially if you are close to the coast or under trees.

• Keep gutters and downpipes clear so water has a clear path.

• Trim branches that rub on sheets or drop heavy leaf loads

• If you plan new penetrations, let us handle the flashing so it looks tidy and sheds water properly.

• After big weather, take a quick look around the property and get in touch if anything seems out of place.

Prefer a set-and-forget approach. We can book periodic checks and a pre-wet season tidy.
