New roofs | Roof replacements | Guttering | VELUX skylights
Building a new home, replacing an ageing roof or upgrading your guttering? At SH Metal Roofers, we specialise in quality COLORBOND® metal roofing, complete roof replacements, roof plumbing, guttering and VELUX skylight installation across St Albans and Melbourne's western suburbs.
From new roof installations to complete re-roofing projects, we focus on quality workmanship, reliable service and a professional finish built to last.
SH Metal Roofers works out of St Albans on metal roofs, gutters and the drainage that keeps water off them, and every job starts with a free, transparent quote.
Tired tiles or rusted old iron off, a new metal roof on. Battens checked or replaced in metal, insulation and sarking in if you want them, then new Colorbond sheets finished with gutters and downpipes to match.
A roof is a big job to hand to someone. So we keep it simple: a free quote, advice in plain English on what it actually needs, and the work done to a high standard.
If someone's been up there more than once for the same problem, another patch probably isn't the answer. We'll find what's actually letting the water in, then tell you plainly which way we'd go. Either way, the quote is free.
A repair usually does it when
The leak traces back to one spot, like a flashing, a screw or a single sheet
The rest of the sheets are sound, with no rust coming through
It's really the gutter or box gutter backing up, not the roof
It's worth pricing a new roof when
The same area keeps leaking after it's been fixed
Rust has eaten through sheets in more than one place
You're paying for patches every year or two
Old tiles, or you're already planning new gutters or insulation

“Words cannot describe how pleased we are with the finishing touches of our pergola roofing. We came across this small business and it great to deal with one person (Mehari) directly through the whole planning, delivery and installation process. He went through what we wanted and Mehari, explained our options and described the finish, once completed we were amazed, it looked better than we had imagined. The whole process was smooth from the planning to the installation. Great professional job with very reasonable pricing. Thanks Mehari, we are so very pleased with your work.”

“We were recommended by a friend to use Mehari to repair our metal roof leak & damage to plaster ceiling. We are so glad we did. He was professional & prompt in all aspects of the job, keeping us informed along the way. From quote to completion was less than 2 weeks. Highly recommended. Thank you Mehari.”
“Great to deal with, prompt friendly service, explained everything to me in easy to follow detail, sent me before and after photos showing what the issue was and the repairs made. Highly recommended!”

Common questions
Before you book a quote.
Anything not covered here, call 0403 652 357 and ask.
How much does a new metal roof cost in St Albans?
There's no set price. Every roof is quoted once we've seen it, and the quote is free. The size and pitch of the roof, how many hips, valleys and penetrations it has, the state of the battens underneath, and whether gutters, insulation or sarking are part of the job all change the number. Call 0403 652 357 or send the quote form to book one in.
How long does it take to replace a roof?
It depends on the size and shape of the roof and on the weather, and you'll get an expected timeframe with your quote. A bigger or more complicated roof takes longer, so does a job that adds new gutters, insulation or sarking, and rain can push a start date back or pause work part-way.
Do I need to move out while my roof is being replaced?
Usually not. Most people stay home while the roof is done. Expect noise and people on the roof during working hours, and we'll talk you through access, parking and anything to clear from the yard or roof space before work starts.
Should I repair or replace my metal roof?
If the problem traces back to one spot and the sheets are still sound, a repair is usually the sensible call. If it's leaking in more than one place, rust has come through the sheets, or you keep paying for patches, it's worth pricing a replacement. We'll get up there, find what's actually causing it, and tell you straight which we'd do.
Can a roof leak be fixed without replacing the whole roof?
Often, yes. A lot of leaks come down to one spot, like a lifted or rusted sheet, a failed flashing or a blocked gutter or box gutter backing up, and the first job is finding exactly where the water is getting in. Once we've found it we'll tell you whether a repair will do it or whether that section, or the whole roof, is due for replacement.
What's the difference between Colorbond and Zincalume?
Both are coated steel roofing made by BlueScope. Zincalume is the bare metallic-coated steel with a silver finish, and Colorbond is metallic-coated steel with a baked-on paint finish in a range of colours. Which suits your home depends on the look you're after, where you live and what any estate or council rules say, and we can talk it through when we quote.
Is it worth converting a tile roof to metal?
For a lot of homes it is, but it depends on the roof. Metal sheets run in long lengths with far fewer joints than tiles, they're much lighter on the frame, and there's a wide range of Colorbond colours to pick from. We'll look at your roof and give you honest advice on whether a conversion makes sense for it.
