Your roof is the single hardest-working part of your home. It takes the full force of every summer scorcher, every southerly buster and every hailstorm so the people underneath stay warm, dry and safe. At Ironridge, residential roofing is where we started more than two decades ago, and it is still the work we are proudest of — because getting a family’s roof right is personal.
Roofing built around your home, not a template
No two homes are the same, so we never treat them that way. Whether you own a heritage Federation cottage with intricate terracotta tiles, a sprawling brick-veneer family home, or a sharp contemporary build crying out for matte-black Colorbond, we tailor every detail of the roof to suit the architecture, the climate zone and the way you actually live.
Our residential team handles the full spectrum of pitched-roof work: brand-new roofs on extensions and knock-down rebuilds, complete re-roofs when an old roof is past saving, and roof restorations that breathe years of extra life into tired but structurally sound roofs. We work in concrete and terracotta tile, Colorbond and Zincalume steel, and architectural metal profiles — and we will tell you honestly which option gives you the best value over the next 30 years, not just the cheapest invoice today.
What a residential roofing job with Ironridge includes
Every residential project starts with a thorough inspection and a clear, fixed-price quote. From there our licensed crew manages the entire process — protecting your gardens and outdoor living areas, stripping the old roof, repairing or replacing any damaged battens and timbers, upgrading sarking and insulation where it makes sense, and laying the new roof to Australian Standards with flashings and ridge capping that are sealed to last.
We treat the small details as seriously as the big ones, because that is exactly where most roofs eventually fail. Valley irons, penetration flashings around vents and skylights, and the bedding and pointing on tiled roofs are all finished by hand by tradespeople who have done it thousands of times. When we are done, your roof does not just keep the rain out — it lifts the entire look of the home from the street.
The right material for your home and budget
Choosing a roofing material is a thirty-year decision, so we make sure you understand the trade-offs before a single tile is lifted. Concrete and terracotta tiles offer timeless street appeal, excellent thermal mass and a look that suits traditional and Mediterranean-style homes — and individual tiles are easy to replace down the track. Colorbond and architectural steel, on the other hand, are lighter, faster to install, virtually maintenance-free and unbeatable on contemporary builds and steeper pitches.
Whatever you choose, you are covered twice over. Every material we lay carries its full manufacturer warranty — up to 30 years on Colorbond steel — and sits underneath our own 25-year workmanship guarantee, in writing. We only buy from established Australian suppliers, so if a tile profile or roof colour ever needs matching years from now, the product is still there. That is the quiet difference between a roof that simply gets installed and one that genuinely looks after the family beneath it for decades.

Frequently asked
How long does a typical re-roof take?
Most standard family homes are completed in three to five working days, weather permitting. We give you a firm timeline in your quote and keep you updated daily.
Will I need to move out during the work?
No. Roofing happens entirely from the outside, so you can live in the home as normal. We simply ask that cars are kept clear of the work zone.
Can you match my existing tiles?
In most cases, yes. We source from all the major Australian manufacturers and keep a large range of salvaged heritage tiles for older homes.
