Roof Replacements
Why Trust Insulmate with Your Re-Roofing Project
Old tiled roofs can become heavy, cracked, porous, and inefficient over time. At Insulmate, we specialise in removing tiled roofs and replacing them with modern COLORBOND® or Zincalume® steel, delivering a durable, low-maintenance alternative designed to withstand Perth’s climate. We cover residential properties, commercial offices, apartment complexes, schools and practically anywhere else a new roof is required!
Although tile to tin conversions are our specialty, Insulmate also installs new colourbond roofs, as well as replacing tile with tile when requested.
Why Look at a Roof Replacement?
Your roof protects everything underneath it—your home, your family, your investment. But like all building materials, it doesn’t last forever. If your roof is old, leaking, or constantly being patched, a full roof replacement may be more cost-effective than ongoing repairs.
Here’s why Perth homeowners are increasingly choosing to replace their roof:
🚩 Common Signs You May Need a Roof Replacement:
Frequent Leaks or ongoing water damage in ceilings
Cracked, broken, or missing tiles
Rust spots or corrosion on older tin roofs
Roof sagging or visible structural movement
Poor insulation or heat retention
Repetitive repair costs adding up year after year
Storm or hail damage beyond basic patchwork
Why Convert from Tile to Tin?
✅ Lighter Weight – Reduces strain on your roof structure
✅ Weather Resistant – Strong protection from storms, rain, and sun
✅ Low Maintenance – No cracked tiles, moss, or leaks to worry about

Roof Replacement FAQs
How Do I Know If My Roof Needs Replacing or Just Repairs?
If your roof has widespread rust, multiple leaks, sagging areas, cracked tiles, or is over 30–40 years old, a full roof replacement is often more cost-effective than ongoing repairs. In Perth’s harsh climate—strong sun, salt air, and winter storms—roofs tend to deteriorate faster than in cooler regions. A professional roof inspection can confirm whether repairs will hold or if replacement is the smarter long-term option. It will of course, depend on your plans for your property as well, which we always take into consideration.
How Long Does a Roof Replacement Typically Take?
Generally speaking, we can get a full replacement done in a week. This includes the stripping of the tiles, making any adjustments to the structure (battens etc..), applying the anticon, laying the sheets, securing the valleys, ridges and other flashings and tidying up the site. This can of course, vary significantly based on roof size, access and multiple other variables.
Do I need council approval to replace my roof in Perth?
In most cases, like-for-like roof replacements do not require council approval. However, approvals may be needed if you’re:
-
Changing roofing materials (e.g. tile to metal)
-
Altering roof structure or height
-
Located in a heritage or special zoning area
We can guide you through any required approvals as part of the process.
Can you replace my roof while I’m living in the house?
Yes. Most Perth homeowners stay in their homes during a roof replacement. Our team works safely and efficiently to minimise noise, dust, and disruption. Your home is never left exposed overnight, and we ensure the site is secure at all times.
Do you service all Perth suburbs?
Yes we cover anywhere from Mandurah to Two Rocks. Anywhere that needs a new roof, we’ll be there! (Wouldn’t even mind one over on Rottnest from time to time)
