Colorbond roofing Newcastle homeowners choose needs to look good and keep performing through salt air, scorching summers and wild storms. Town and Country Roof Restoration supplies and installs new Colorbond® roofs, converts tiled roofs to Colorbond and restores faded Colorbond with the Dulux AcraTex Roof Membrane System. We are a third-generation family business with over 40 years experience, working across Newcastle, Maitland, Lake Macquarie, Port Stephens and the Hunter Valley.
Colorbond® is a pre-painted steel made in Australia by BlueScope. The steel has a metallic coating for corrosion protection and a baked-on paint finish on top. It is used on roofs, gutters, fascias, downpipes, walls and fencing all over the country, which is why it is such a familiar sight on Newcastle and Hunter streets.
For homeowners, the appeal is simple. Colorbond steel is strong and lightweight, it comes in a broad range of colours and it suits everything from a weatherboard cottage in an older suburb to a brand new build on an acreage block in the Hunter Valley.

Swapping an ageing tiled roof for Colorbond is one of the biggest visual changes you can make to a home. It can modernise a dated façade, tie in with new gutters or fencing and lighten the load on an older roof frame. It also means no more cracked tiles or crumbling ridge pointing to keep on top of.
Every conversion starts with checking the frame so the new roof goes onto a sound structure. Our metal roofing page explains more about what a tile to metal conversion involves.
A new Colorbond roof is a big investment, so we take care at every step.

Colour is usually the most enjoyable decision in a new roof, but it is worth taking your time.
Lighter roof colours reflect more of the sun's heat than darker ones. In hot Maitland and Hunter Valley summers, that can make a real difference to how warm the roof space and rooms below feel. Darker colours look striking but absorb more heat. Our blog on what is the best roof colour to reduce heat explains the trade-offs.
Your roof is the largest single surface on your home. Look at it alongside your walls, window frames, gutters, fascias and fences. Because Colorbond steel is also used for gutters, downpipes and fencing, many homeowners like to coordinate these colours.
Colours on a screen or a printed brochure never look quite the same as the real thing outside. Look at a physical sample in daylight, ideally at different times of day, before you decide.
Some estates, heritage areas and councils have guidelines on roof colours or reflectivity. It is worth checking before you lock in your choice.
Salt air near the beaches and the harbour is tough on roofing. Colorbond steel is made in different grades, including Colorbond® Ultra and Colorbond® stainless steel, which are designed for more severe coastal and industrial environments. The right choice depends on how close your home is to the coast. Our blog on how salt air damages roofs and how to prevent it explains why exposure matters.
Hunter summers are long and hot. A well-chosen colour can help reflect heat. The baked-on finish is designed to stand up to strong UV.
Storm season brings strong winds and heavy rain to Newcastle and the Hunter. Long Colorbond sheets have fewer joins than a tiled roof. Correctly fixed sheets, flashings and capping are key to keeping the weather out.
Many established homes around Newcastle and Maitland have original roof frames. Colorbond weighs far less than tiles, which reduces the load on the structure.
Colorbond steel is non-combustible, which many homeowners on the bushland edges of the Hunter appreciate. Bushfire requirements depend on your property, so check with your council if your home is in a bushfire-prone area.
Not every tired Colorbond roof needs replacing. If the sheets are still sound but the colour has faded, the surface has turned chalky or small rust spots are appearing, a restoration can give the roof a fresh finish.
Town and Country Roof Restoration is Dulux accredited and uses the Dulux AcraTex Roof Membrane System to restore Colorbond:
A restoration is also a chance to change colour, with a variety of Dulux membrane colours to choose from. See our roof painting and roof restorations pages for more.
