Tile to Metal in Newcastle
From tired tiles to modern Colorbond.
A tile-to-metal conversion is one of the biggest performance upgrades you can make to an older Newcastle home. CGR Roofing Specialists strips the existing tiles, checks the frame carefully (tile roofs put a lot of load on the timber, so it pays to inspect properly), then installs battens, sarking and a new Colorbond steel roof.
The result is a lighter, cleaner-looking roof that stands up better to coastal conditions, sheds water faster and lasts decades with minimal maintenance. It suits weatherboard cottages, brick-veneer homes from the 70s and 80s, and post-war bungalows across Newcastle and Lake Macquarie, all of which typically wear their original tile roofs hard after decades of coastal exposure.

BeforeAfterWhat's involved in a tile-to-metal conversion.
We handle the full conversion end-to-end: remove and dispose of the old tiles, inspect and repair the frame and battens where needed, install fresh sarking, batten out for metal, sheet the roof in your chosen Colorbond profile and colour, and finish every ridge, hip, valley and flashing. Colorbond's baked-on finish resists salt, fading and rust, and the reduced roof weight also eases long-term load on your home's frame and footings.
If you're planning a broader roof refresh, see our roof replacement and roof installation services, or add new gutters and downpipes in the same visit.
