Old roof off. New Colorbond on.
Whether your roof is tired, leaking or battered by hail, we strip it back and replace it with a new Colorbond or Klip-Lok steel roof, built to last in Queensland conditions.

New Colorbond
What is a re-roof?
A re-roof means removing your existing roof covering completely and installing a brand-new one. It’s the right choice when a roof has reached the end of its life, when repairs keep failing, or when hail and storm damage is too widespread to patch.
Most of our re-roofs replace old concrete or terracotta tiles, or ageing galvanised and early Colorbond roofs, with new Colorbond steel.
Insurance re-roofs after hail damage
After a major hailstorm, insurers often approve a full roof replacement when damage is spread across the whole roof. We help you through the process:
- Free inspection with photos of all hail and storm damage
- A detailed report and itemised quote to lodge with your insurer
- Meeting the insurance assessor on site
- Completing the re-roof once the claim is approved
- Final photos and paperwork for your records
Tile to metal: why homeowners switch
- Lighter roof. Steel is much lighter than tiles, which takes load off the roof frame.
- Better in storms. No cracked or dislodged tiles after hail or high winds.
- Less maintenance. No re-bedding, re-pointing or broken tile replacement.
- Modern look. A clean Colorbond finish lifts the street appeal of older homes.
Our re-roofing process,
step by step.
Every Built Roofing re-roof follows the same proven process, so you know exactly what’s happening on your roof and when.
Inspection & fixed quote
We measure up, photograph the roof, check the frame and bring Colorbond colour samples. You get a fixed written quote, plus a damage report if it’s an insurance claim.
Booking & materials
Once you’re ready, we order your Colorbond sheets cut to length for your roof and lock in start dates, planned around the weather forecast.
Site set-up & safety
Edge protection or scaffold goes up, a skip bin is delivered, and gardens, paths and driveways are protected before work starts.
Strip the old roof
Old tiles or sheets, ridge capping and flashings come off in sections, so your home stays weather-tight. Older roofs that may contain asbestos are tested and removed by a licensed asbestos removalist first.
Frame check & battens
We inspect the trusses and rafters, then fit new battens to suit steel roofing and the wind rating for your area. Any frame issues are raised with you before we continue.
Sarking & insulation
New sarking and roof blanket insulation go down where required, to cut heat, control condensation and reduce rain noise.
New Colorbond roof
Corrugated or Klip-Lok sheets are fixed to the manufacturer’s specifications, followed by new ridge capping, flashings and valleys, and gutters and downpipes if included.
Clean-up & handover
Rubbish removed, magnetic sweep for screws and offcuts, and a final walk-through. You receive completion photos, warranty paperwork and any documents your insurer needs.
