First Class Roofing carries out commercial roofing repair, restoration and replacement across Melbourne, backed by over 25 years in the trade. We work with building owners and property managers who need a roof scoped honestly, scheduled reliably and documented properly.
A commercial roof protects your building, your tenants and everything inside it. When it starts to fail — a slow leak, rust running along a lap line, or years of UV exposure and seasonal weather — the cost goes well beyond the repair itself. Disrupted operations, tenant complaints and repeated patch jobs that never quite hold are the real price of a roof that has never been properly assessed.
Our process starts with an honest assessment, not a sales call. We inspect the roof, document what we find, and give you a clear written options summary — a targeted repair, a restoration that extends the roof’s service life, or a full replacement when the roof has genuinely reached the end of its life.

Most property managers need this on file before they can grant site access, so here it is up front:
We can carry out work funded by an insurance claim. We don’t provide claims advice, advocacy or documentation support — questions about what your policy covers should go to your insurer.
Commercial buildings sit across a wide range of roof types, and the work they need varies just as much. These are the services we carry out on commercial property.
Where the roof has weathered but the sheeting or tiles underneath are still sound, restoration extends its service life for considerably less than a replacement. Restoration is largely a surface process — clean, treat, prepare and recoat — and the building underneath stays weathertight while it happens. On a genuinely sound roof it is the cost effective choice. On one that has already lost section, it is money spent twice, and we will tell you so.
Water spreads laterally across a roof, so the point where it drips inside is often metres from the point where it enters. We carry out leak detection, flashing and capping repairs, replacement of damaged or corroded sheeting, and repairs to weather-damaged roofing. Repairs are booked in and scheduled within our operating hours, and we plan access with your site manager so the work fits alongside your operations rather than across them.
When a roof is at the end of its life or repairs are no longer holding, replacement is the right answer. We replace commercial roofs in Colorbond steel, galvanised steel and flat metal, and we stage the work in sections small enough to close in before the end of each working day. Where a particular area of the building cannot tolerate an open roof, we plan the staging around it and set the sequence out in your written quote.
Colorbond steel is engineered for Australian conditions and is our most commonly specified system for commercial roof replacement. Every Colorbond and steel roof we install carries a 20 year materials warranty from Bluescope Steel alongside our 10 year guarantee on workmanship. We also supply and install galvanised roofing where heavy-duty, durable sheeting is the priority, and we install and restore flat metal roofing on low-pitch commercial buildings.
For commercial buildings with cement or terracotta tile roofs, we carry out full tile roof restoration, along with repointing and re-bedding. The mortar bedding that holds ridge capping in place cracks over time and lets water into the roof structure — one of the most commonly overlooked causes of commercial roof leaks. We replace deteriorated mortar with a flexible pointing compound that moves with the temperature cycles this climate puts a roof through.
Guttering on a commercial roof carries far more water than a domestic system. Blocked, corroded or failing gutters back water up against flashings until it finds a way inside, and the internal damage almost always costs more than the guttering did. We repair and replace gutters and downpipes, and we handle that work as part of a re-roof or restoration rather than leaving it for someone else.
Many older commercial and industrial buildings still carry asbestos cement roof sheeting. It cannot be overlaid or patched, and on an operating site it is a compliance question before it is a roofing one. We remove asbestos roofing and replace it with a new Colorbond roof.
The work is carried out in accordance with the Victorian Occupational Health and Safety Act, EPA requirements and Worksafe Victoria guidelines. Our team holds Asbestos Awareness certification (10314NAT) and we operate a Cm3 qualified health and safety management system. The team wears full protective clothing, respirators and gloves throughout. The area is thoroughly cleaned and vacuumed after removal, and all asbestos material is disposed of in accordance with environmental regulations. An Asbestos Clearance Certificate is issued on completion.
Where a roof is slate, we do not repair or restore it and we do not replace slate with slate. We remove the old slate and install a new Colorbond roof.
