A new roof is a long-term investment, and the material chosen matters as much as the installation itself. The right choice depends on budget, the style of the building, and how long you want the roof to last before it needs attention again.
For new construction or a roof that's reached the end of its service life.
Removing an existing roof and installing a new one.
Steel sheet roofing with a factory-applied protective coating.
Concrete tile and slate-style roofing installation.
Colorbond steel roofing uses a durable steel base with a factory-applied metallic coating, primer and topcoat. Manufacturer specifications put its life expectancy at up to around 50 years, and it's available in a wide range of colours.
Concrete tile roofing is moulded from a cement, sand and water mix under high pressure and heat. It carries a higher upfront cost than steel, but offers strong fire resistance, durability and low maintenance in exchange.
Slate-style roofing (concrete-based rather than natural stone) is more expensive to manufacture and install, but can last 80 or more years when installed and maintained correctly.
Which material suits a given roof comes down to budget, the structure and its bracing, and local council or bushfire-zone requirements where they apply. That gets confirmed at the on-site inspection.

Removing an existing roof or gutter system costs more than working on a prepared surface.
