Looking for top-quality metal roof installation in West Hobart? We serve both residential and commercial clients with premium Colorbond, Zincalume, and standing seam systems—providing quiet, energy-efficient, and long-lasting roofs suitable for hillside and heritage homes.
West Hobart’s unique geography and climate make metal roofing an ideal choice for both homeowners and commercial properties. Nestled between the foothills and the Derwent River, the area experiences a mix of high coastal winds, heavy winter rainfall, and occasional frost—conditions that demand a durable and low-maintenance roofing solution.
Metal roofs excel in West Hobart because:
High-quality metal roofing systems are designed to withstand gusty conditions that are common in elevated or open areas like West Hobart.
Modern coatings such as those found on Colorbond® and Zincalume® roofs protect against corrosion from coastal moisture, rain, and salt exposure.
With the right insulation and reflective coatings, metal roofs help regulate indoor temperatures year-round—keeping homes cooler in summer and warmer in winter, which is ideal for Hobart’s changing seasons.
Ideal for older heritage homes or sloped builds, metal roofing places less structural stress on your home compared to heavy tile systems.
Unlike traditional tiles, metal panels resist moss, cracking, and movement—saving on repairs and upkeep over the years.
We offer a wide range of metal roofing materials and profiles to suit different architectural styles, budget requirements, and durability needs in West Hobart:
Australia’s most trusted pre-painted steel roofing, Colorbond® is corrosion-resistant, thermally efficient, and comes in a wide palette of modern and heritage-inspired colours. It's perfect for both contemporary builds and classic Federation-style homes in West Hobart.
An alloy-coated steel combining zinc and aluminium, Zincalume® offers exceptional resistance to rust and is a cost-effective option for homeowners seeking longevity and structural strength. It’s commonly used on both residential and industrial projects throughout southern Tasmania.
The traditional wave-profiled corrugated iron roofing is a timeless choice for rural and rustic homes in West Hobart. Modern versions are far superior in durability and available in both Colorbond® and Zincalume® finishes.
Ideal for contemporary or architectural designs, standing seam roofing features sleek vertical lines and concealed fasteners for a modern, seamless look. It’s wind-resistant and great for complex roof shapes and curved forms often found in designer builds.
These profiles use clips instead of exposed screws, offering a cleaner aesthetic and better waterproofing. They’re particularly useful for large-span commercial roofs and homes in wind-prone areas where thermal movement is a concern.

When your roof has reached the end of its lifespan or is causing ongoing issues, a professional roof replacement is the safest and most cost-effective solution. At Roofing Hobart Tasmania, we specialise in roof replacements across West Hobart, helping homeowners and businesses upgrade old, damaged, or outdated roofs with modern materials built for performance and longevity.
Whether you’re dealing with weathered terracotta tiles, aging asbestos, or rusted corrugated metal, our team offers tailored solutions to suit your property’s style, structure, and budget. We work on both residential and light commercial buildings across the hilly, often wind-exposed areas of West Hobart.
Many property owners are unsure when repairs are no longer enough. If you’re noticing any of the following, it may be time for a complete roof replacement:
in the ceiling or walls, even after multiple repairs
in timber battens, indicating rot or structural issues
especially common in coastal-exposed sections of West Hobart
particularly on older terracotta or cement tile roofs
caused by poor ventilation and moisture ingress
often due to poor roof insulation or failing sarking
We follow a structured, step-by-step process to ensure your new roof is installed safely, efficiently, and to the highest standards:
We assess your roof’s condition, structure, and existing material
You’ll receive a fixed-price quote outlining scope, material options, and timelines
We carefully strip back tiles, iron sheets, or asbestos (if applicable), including old sarking and flashings
Roof frame is inspected, repaired if needed, and prepared for installation
We install your chosen material (Colorbond®, Zincalume®, tiles, etc.) with new flashings, sarking, and ridge capping
Add gutters, downpipes, vents, skylights, or insulation as needed
We leave the site tidy and perform a final walk-through to ensure satisfaction
We understand every home in West Hobart is different—from Federation-style cottages to post-war homes and architect-designed builds. That’s why we offer fully customised roof replacement packages, including:
Color and Finish Selection – Choose from modern or heritage Colorbond® palettes, matte or gloss finishes
Gutter & Downpipe Replacement – Match your new roof with fresh, debris-resistant gutters

Is your roof starting to look tired, discoloured, or stained—but still structurally sound? A professional roof restoration could be the perfect solution. At Roofing Hobart Tasmania, we provide cost-effective roof restorations for homeowners in West Hobart, giving your existing roof a fresh lease on life without the need for a full replacement.
Our experienced team restores both tile and metal roofs, rejuvenating faded finishes, sealing vulnerable points, and preventing future leaks. West Hobart’s hilly terrain and often gusty conditions can wear down even the best roofs over time—restoration brings back protection and curb appeal with less waste and lower cost.
Choosing roof restoration is not only about aesthetics. It offers a range of practical and financial advantages:
We seal cracks, reseal flashings, and coat surfaces to repel moisture
Repainting and cleaning dramatically improve your home’s curb appeal
New coatings help reflect heat and reduce thermal load
Less material goes to landfill compared to a full replacement
Restoration can add 10–15 years to your existing roof’s life
West Hobart’s mix of historic homes and elevated weather exposure often leads to:
that let water seep through
especially on shaded roofs or older tiles
on metal sheeting and screws
from UV exposure
around chimneys, skylights, and flashings
Steep, Sloped Rooflines – Common in West Hobart, restored roofs help with efficient water runoff
Heritage Appeal – Restoration preserves original roofing on older homes without altering character
Environmental Conditions – Repainting protects against UV, sea breeze corrosion, and thermal cracking
Energy Conscious Homes – Heat-reflective coatings reduce cooling costs in summer months

Over time, ridge caps—the tiles or metal sections that sit along the peak of your roof—can crack, shift, or deteriorate. In West Hobart, where strong winds and changing weather are common, ridge capping is often the first part of a roof to show signs of wear.
At Roofing Hobart Tasmania, we specialise in ridge cap restoration, ensuring your tiled roof remains structurally sound and leak-free. Whether you’re seeing visible gaps, mortar breakdown, or roof leaks after storms, our expert team is ready to restore your roof’s crown to perfect condition.
Ridge caps are more than just a finishing detail—they’re essential to your roof’s performance. Here’s why they deserve your attention:
Ridge capping seals the most exposed joint of your roof, where tiles meet at the apex
Gaps or cracks in capping can allow birds, possums, and rodents to enter roof cavities
Loose or cracked mortar can weaken over time, risking further tile displacement
Strong ridge capping helps the roof resist uplift from wind, common in elevated areas of West Hobart
A clean, intact ridge line improves overall roof appearance and resale value
With its sloped blocks and unpredictable weather, West Hobart often sees:
Caused by sun, rain, and seasonal movement
Often after high winds or minor tremors
Especially on south-facing ridges
Usually traced back to compromised capping
Our team is trained to spot these issues and fix them before they turn into expensive repairs.
Due to the suburb’s elevated position and open exposure:
