We provide honest roof replacement advice, clear quotations, and workmanship built to last – so you can feel confident your new roof will stand strong for years.

Roof Replacement Process for Melbourne Homes and Businesses
A smooth, well-managed process means less stress for you.
Here’s what usually happens when you book a roof replacement:
First, we carry out a thorough inspection, identifying leaks, structural issues, failing tiles, rust and weak points. Based on this assessment, we provide a detailed roof replacement cost estimate outlining what’s required and why.
Based on this assessment, we provide a clear roof replacement estimate outlining materials, labour, timeframes, and any required structural work. This new roof estimate ensures you understand the full scope of the project before proceeding, whether the work involves full roof replacement or reroofing.
Once approved, we prepare the site, remove old roofing safely, and check the roof frame and battens for damage. Any rotten timber or unstable sections are repaired before installing your new roof system.
We then fit new roofing sheets or tiles, install flashings, valleys, insulation and ventilation components, and seal everything for long-term weather protection. Finally, we clean up thoroughly and perform a final quality check.
The result is a brand-new roof built to protect your property for decades.
When Do You Need A Roof Replacement?
Not every issue means replacement – but certain warning signs shouldn’t be ignored.
You may need a new roof if you notice:
- Frequent leaks or recurring repairs
- Cracked, broken, or missing tiles
- Significant rust on metal roofs
- Sagging roof sections
- Mould, dampness, or ceiling stains
- Rising energy costs due to poor insulation
- A roof older than 20–25 years
Often, ongoing patch repairs end up costing more than installing a new, reliable system.
If you’re unsure, we’re happy to inspect and provide straightforward advice – including whether a repair, restoration, or full reroofing is the best choice.

Frequently Asked & Questions
Roof replacement cost in Melbourne varies depending on roof size, materials, pitch, access, and whether structural repairs are required. Older homes or complex roof designs may increase costs, which is why an onsite inspection and written estimate is always recommended.
Roof replacement can be done year-round in Melbourne, but drier months are often preferred. We monitor weather conditions closely and plan work to minimise delays and protect your home.
Most roofs last around 20–30 years depending on materials, installation quality, and maintenance. If your roof is nearing this age or constantly leaking, it may be time to consider replacement rather than continuing repairs.
Many issues – such as cracked tiles, minor leaks, or loose flashing – can often be repaired. However, widespread damage, structural sagging, recurring leaks, moisture inside your ceiling, or significant storm damage are strong signs a full roof replacement may be the smarter and safer choice.
Most Melbourne roof replacements take between 2–5 days depending on roof size, pitch, weather, and material availability. Larger or more complex roofs may take longer, while small residential roofs can sometimes be completed faster.
Absolutely. Many Melbourne property owners upgrade from old tiles to Colorbond, metal roofing, or newer tile systems for better durability and reduced maintenance. Your roofer will assess whether your structure supports the new material.
Depending on the material, weather conditions, and maintenance, a new roof can last anywhere from 25–50+ years, with metal roofing often lasting the longest.
Yes – but leaks need to be temporarily controlled first. Your roofing team will install tarps or flashing to protect your home before starting the full replacement.
Yes. Proper roof replacement includes removing old materials, inspecting the roof frame, replacing rotten timber, and installing brand-new sarking, battens, and roofing.
Yes – Colorbond is durable, lightweight, bushfire-resistant, and performs well in Melbourne’s changing weather. Many homeowners upgrade from tiles to Colorbond for lower maintenance.
Yes, most homeowners stay during installation. Expect noise and vibration, and keep pets and children away from work areas.
EXCELLENT Based on 138 reviews Chris Godbee2025-08-13Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We couldn’t be happier with the work Ryan recently completed for us! For the unqiue needs that our roof required, Ryan's expertise and attention to detail was outstanding. He even didn’t miss the little things—like painting around the chimney and flue. He was incredibly efficient, punctual, and delivered high-quality work while keeping everything tidy and spotless throughout the job. On top of that, he’s such an easy-going and friendly person, who was extremely responive, making the whole process stress-free. Truly a top-notch professional and a genuinely nice guy—we’d recommend him to anyone without hesitation. Helen S2025-06-14Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ryan came out to fix up my roof, and I couldn't be happier with the job. He was genuine, friendly, turned up on time, and got the work done without any hassle. The roof looks great now, and Ryan cleaned up everything before leaving. I've already told a few mates about Ryan and Assured Roofing. Ben Lai2025-05-20Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ryan did a fantastic job with our roof. He is both personable and professional in his work. Highly recommended. J H2025-03-30Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Prompt quote, very clear communication, reasonably priced, and quality work. We had Ryan tackle a not-so-run-of-the-mill job with old decramastic at our place and he was up for the challenge. Wouldn't hesitate to have him back for future work. Nicholas Jay Dinneen2025-02-26Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great experience. Good quality, prompt and honest. Thanks heaps Ryan! Jeff Lander2025-02-26Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Very pleased with Assured Roofing. It was really reassuring to have some find the problem very quickly after four other firms missed the problem but quoted for whole roof restoration. Andrew Park2025-02-14Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Over the past 12 months I’ve had the pleasure of utilising Ryan from Assured Roofing. I had a small leak in the roof that would only occur during certain rain events (intensity, angle etc). Like trying to find a needle in a haystack, Ryan came out a couple times and did various repairs to areas he thought was a problem. Finally after our last heavy rain event in January, Ryan determined where the leak was coming from and fixed it at a very good price. Thankyou Ryan for your persistence and work. It’s great in this day and age to deal with a tradesman who replies to phone calls/messages, arrives on time, and has pride in their work. Highly recommend Ryan for all your roofing needs. Sonia Piacentino2025-02-08Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
