This Gisborne property had seen better days. The existing terracotta tiles were cracked, slipping, and well past their useful life. With the Macedon Ranges climate delivering everything from scorching summers to heavy winter rain, an ageing tile roof simply wasn’t cutting it anymore. The owner wanted a roofing solution that was low-maintenance, weather-resistant, and built to last. We recommended a full tile removal and COLORBOND® steel roof replacement.
Tile removal and roof inspection
The job began with a complete strip of the old terracotta tiles, carefully removing them to expose the full roof structure underneath. Once the tiles were cleared, our licensed roof plumbers carried out a thorough inspection of the battens, rafters, and sarking. Several battens had deteriorated and needed replacing before any new roofing material could go on. Getting this foundation right is what separates a lasting roof from one that fails in five years.
COLORBOND® installation in Gisborne
With the structure sound and prepped, we installed a full COLORBOND® steel roof using genuine BlueScope steel. New flashings were fabricated and fitted at every penetration point, valley, and edge. Ridgecapping was installed cleanly and sealed to prevent any water ingress. The gutters and downpipes were also upgraded to handle the drainage load from the new roofline.
COLORBOND® is one of the best roofing choices for Gisborne and the wider Macedon Ranges area. It handles temperature extremes, resists corrosion, and requires virtually no maintenance compared to old tile roofs. It also comes in a wide range of colours, so homeowners can match their roof to their property’s character, whether that’s a classic country homestead or a modern rural build.
The result
The finished roof transformed the property. Clean lines, sharp ridges, and a colour that suits the Gisborne landscape perfectly. The owner now has a weatherproof, low-maintenance roof that will protect their home for decades without the ongoing headache of cracked or slipping tiles.
