Metal roofing Newcastle homeowners rely on has to stand up to salt air, summer heat and storm season. Whether you want a brand new metal roof, a tile to metal conversion or a tired metal roof brought back to life, Town and Country Roof Restoration can help. We are a third-generation family business with over 40 years experience on tile and metal roofs, including Colorbond®. We service Newcastle, Maitland, Lake Macquarie, Port Stephens and the Hunter Valley.
We provide comprehensive roofing services on all types of roofs, including metal. For metal roofs, that covers:


When an old metal roof is rusted through in several places or a storm has done serious damage, patching it rarely makes sense. Replacing the roof gives you new sheets, new flashings and a fresh start.
A new metal roof follows the same careful approach as all our re-roofing work:

Plenty of Newcastle and Hunter homeowners decide to swap an ageing tiled roof for metal. Common reasons include:
A conversion involves more than swapping one material for another. The tiles are removed, the frame is checked and the roof is set up to suit metal sheeting before the new roof, flashings and capping go on. We will talk you through what is involved for your home and give you a free quote.
If you are weighing up a conversion, read signs an older roof may cost more to keep repairing than replacing.


Metal roofs are tough but they are not maintenance free. These are the issues we see most often on Newcastle and Hunter homes.
If water is already coming inside, our roof leak detection service can find the cause. Our roof leak repairs team can then fix it properly.
If your metal roof is still structurally sound, restoration can be a cost-effective alternative to replacement. Town and Country Roof Restoration is Dulux accredited and we use the Dulux AcraTex Roof Membrane System to restore metal roofing. The system is designed to provide waterproofing, UV resistance and weatherproofing.
Our restoration process includes high-pressure cleaning, repairing and spot priming any damaged areas, applying an etching primer and finishing with two coats of Dulux 962 roof membrane. You can choose from a variety of Dulux membrane colours. Find out more about our roof restorations.

Whether you need a few repairs, a full Dulux AcraTex restoration, a brand new metal roof or a tile to metal conversion, we can help. Call Town and Country Roof Restoration on 0409 030 161 or 02 4945 1828, email townandcountryroofrestoration@iinet.net.au or request a free quote online.
Colorbond® steel is one of the most popular roofing choices across Newcastle and the Hunter. It is a pre-painted steel made in Australia by BlueScope, with a metallic coating for corrosion protection and a baked-on paint finish on top. The same steel is used for gutters, fascias, downpipes and fencing, which is why it is such a familiar sight on local streets. It suits everything from a weatherboard cottage in an older suburb to a new build on an acreage block in the Hunter Valley.
We supply and install new Colorbond roofs, replace old metal sheeting with Colorbond and convert tiled roofs to Colorbond. Every job follows the same careful re-roofing approach outlined above, with one extra step at the start: we talk through colour options with you before any materials are ordered. Swapping tiles for Colorbond is one of the biggest visual changes you can make to a home. It can also tie a dated façade in with new gutters or fencing.
Colour is usually the most enjoyable decision in a new roof, but it is worth taking your time.
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, our Dulux AcraTex restoration process (outlined above) can give it a fresh, even finish. A restoration is also a chance to change colour, with a variety of Dulux membrane colours to choose from.



Yes. We carry out tile to metal conversions as well as installing new metal roofs and replacing old metal sheeting. The tiles are removed, the frame is checked and the roof is prepared for metal before the new sheets, flashings and capping are installed. We will explain what is involved and give you a free quote.
If the sheets are structurally sound with surface rust, fading or chalking, a restoration is often a good option and a chance to change colour. If rust has eaten through the sheets in several places or the roof is badly damaged, replacement may be better. We look at the condition of your roof and give you honest advice with a free quote.
Think about heat, the look of the whole house and any local rules. Lighter colours reflect more heat, which helps in hot Hunter summers, while darker colours absorb more. Always look at a physical sample outdoors in daylight before deciding, as colours on screens and brochures can look quite different.
Yes, but the grade matters. Colorbond steel comes in different grades, including Colorbond Ultra and Colorbond stainless steel, which are designed for more severe coastal environments. Which one suits depends on how close your home is to the ocean. Regular washing of sheltered areas also helps protect the finish from salt.
Salt in coastal air settles on metal roofs and can speed up corrosion, particularly in spots that are not rinsed by rain, around fixings and where debris collects. Regular washing, clear gutters and valleys and a protective coating system can all help slow the process and extend the life of the roof.
Yes. Metal roof leaks often come from loose or rusted fixings, rust holes, overlaps or lifted flashings. We start by working out where the water is getting in, then repair the cause. If the problem is widespread, a full restoration or a new roof may be the better long-term option.
Rain is more noticeable on metal than on tiles, but how much you hear depends on what sits beneath the sheets. Insulation and sarking in the roof space help to soften the sound. If noise is a concern, mention it when we quote so we can talk through the options for your home.
Yes. We install, repair and restore metal roofs across Newcastle, Maitland, Lake Macquarie, Port Stephens and the Hunter Valley, plus surrounding suburbs. Inland roofs face strong summer heat while coastal roofs deal with salt air, so we tailor our advice to your location and the condition of your roof.
