First Class Roofing installs COLORBOND® steel roofing systems for homeowners, body corporates and property managers across Melbourne and the surrounding suburbs — with an honest assessment first, installation by qualified and licensed Roof Plumbers, a 10 year guarantee on workmanship, and a 20 year materials warranty from Bluescope Steel on the material itself.
COLORBOND® steel is manufactured by BlueScope Steel and engineered specifically for Australian conditions — UV intensity, wide daily temperature swings, and the sudden downpours we get here without much warning. It is a durable, long-lasting roofing investment, and when it is installed correctly it performs for decades without demanding much in return. But the material is only part of the equation. The contractor making the recommendation matters as much as the product they fit.
We supply and fit the full range of BlueScope Steel profiles. With over 25 years of hands-on roofing experience across Melbourne and its suburbs, we have learned something worth saying plainly: a full roof replacement is not always the right answer. If your existing roof is showing wear or age but the underlying structure is sound, a restoration or targeted repair may deliver years of reliable protection at a lower cost. We will tell you that honestly, even when it means a smaller job for us.
We’ll inspect your roof thoroughly, explain every option, recommend the right solution for your property, and keep you informed throughout the process — no surprises, no pressure.

What we install is a complete roofing system — not just sheets of steel. A properly specified COLORBOND® steel installation includes removal and disposal of your existing roof, installation of sarking (the reflective underlay that manages condensation and adds a thermal barrier), timber or steel battens, the selected steel profile, and all flashing, ridgecapping and penetration sealing. Skipping any of these elements is where long-term problems begin — so when you compare quotes, check that all of it is actually included and priced.
Our quotes are detailed, itemised and fixed in writing, so the figure you accept is the figure you pay. That is what competitively priced work should look like: clear value for money you can check item by item.
The weather here puts real demands on roofing materials — high UV, wide daily temperature swings, driving rain, and salt exposure for bayside suburbs. COLORBOND® steel is built for that range of conditions.
Every COLORBOND® steel colour is made with BlueScope’s Thermatech® solar reflectance technology, which is designed to reflect more of the sun’s heat than a standard paint finish of the same colour. Paired with appropriate insulation beneath the steel, it contributes to a more comfortable home through summer. We will not put a percentage on that, because the honest answer depends on your roof area, pitch, colour, insulation and how your home is built.
Two specification decisions matter more than most:
We do not publish a price table, because a number quoted before anyone has seen your roof is a guess dressed up as a quote. The factors that genuinely move the price are:
After an inspection, you get a written, itemised quote covering all of it. Affordable, cost effective roofing comes from specifying the right system once, not from cutting items out of a quote to make the total look smaller.
If your roof is showing wear, leaks or age but the underlying structure is sound, restoration or a targeted repair may be the right recommendation before you commit to a full replacement. If the roof is genuinely at end of life, or you are building or extending and want a durable, low-maintenance system built to last, a full COLORBOND® steel installation is the better long-term value.
The answer depends on your roof’s condition and your property’s requirements, and that is exactly what the assessment is for.
Every COLORBOND® steel roof we install is backed by a 20 year materials warranty from Bluescope Steel covering the steel and paint system, and our 10 year guarantee on workmanship covering the installation. On completion you also receive a Compliance Certificate issued by the Plumbing Board, confirming the work meets required standards.
We’ll inspect your roof thoroughly, explain every option, and recommend what your home genuinely needs. Call Lisa Now on 0412 069 632 or use our Get A Free Quote form.
First Class Roofing has been installing steel and tiled roofs across Melbourne and its suburbs for over 25 years, on residential and commercial properties alike. The most useful thing that experience gives us is judgement: knowing when a full COLORBOND® steel replacement is the right call, and knowing when it is not.
Michael Lanyon leads every assessment personally. That means the person forming the recommendation is the person with the experience to back it, not a subcontracted estimator working from a price list.
Our installation teams are qualified and licensed Roof Plumbers and Roof Tilers, experienced across the BlueScope Steel range — corrugated, TRIMDEK® and Klip-Lok 700® profiles, plus sarking, flashing and ridgecapping. That matters because COLORBOND® steel is an engineered system, not just a sheet of metal. Installed poorly, even premium materials underperform. Installed properly, they deliver the long-lasting protection the material is capable of — and they keep your Bluescope materials warranty intact.
We hold plumber’s insurance, public and product liability up to $20 million, and WorkCover, and all work sites comply with Worksafe Victoria requirements. For property managers and commercial clients, those figures are usually the first thing needed before site access is granted, so we are happy to provide them up front.
Every site is left clean and safe at the end of each working day. Workmanship quality extends to how we treat your property, not just your roof.
Before we recommend anything, we inspect. The review examines:
We look at the full picture, not just the surface. If the structure beneath is sound, restoration or repair is often the honest recommendation, and we will say so clearly. Where a full COLORBOND® steel replacement is genuinely warranted, we specify the profile and colour to suit your roof pitch, architectural style and location — including COLORBOND® Ultra for bayside properties, and BAL-rated systems for bushfire-prone zones.
If your home is a Victorian, Edwardian or heritage terrace, the assessment also covers how the new roof sits with the existing character of the building — profile, colour and detailing chosen so the roof reads correctly from the street while performing far better than what it replaces.

Choosing a COLORBOND® steel profile is a technical decision, not a catalogue one. The wrong profile on the wrong pitch can cause pooling, noise and premature failure. We guide you through it based on your roof’s pitch, your home’s architectural style, and the environment your property sits in — not on what is easiest to supply.
Corrugated COLORBOND® steel is the profile most people picture when they think of a metal roof, and for good reason. BlueScope specifies it from a minimum roof pitch of 5°, it suits period homes and weatherboard cottages across Melbourne’s inner and middle suburbs, and it delivers reliable, long-lasting protection in most residential conditions. It is also the most cost effective profile in the range, which makes it the sensible default unless your roof gives us a reason to specify something else.
TRIMDEK® suits contemporary and commercial builds, where a broader, flatter pan profile complements modern architecture. It performs well on lower-pitch applications and spans greater distances between supports, making it a practical choice for extensions, skillion roofs and light commercial structures. If your property has a low-pitch roof or a contemporary design, TRIMDEK® is often the profile we recommend.
Klip-Lok 700® is a concealed-fix system with no exposed fasteners, which makes it the right choice for very low-pitch roofs — BlueScope rates it down to 1° — and for situations where water ingress around fixings is a genuine risk. It is commonly used on commercial buildings and architecturally designed homes where a clean roofline is both a structural and an aesthetic requirement. If you are building or extending with a low-pitch design, it is worth understanding this option before committing to any profile.
COLORBOND® steel is available in a wide palette, from deep charcoals and warm earthy tones through to lighter heritage shades. Every colour is made with Thermatech® solar reflectance technology, which is engineered to reduce the heat absorbed through your roof. Colour selection is not purely aesthetic: lighter colours reflect more heat, while darker colours suit certain architectural styles and cooler sites. We will walk you through the trade-offs honestly, including how the colour is likely to sit with your home for as long as you own it.
On fading, the honest position is that all roofing materials shift in colour over decades of UV exposure. BlueScope’s multi-layer paint system is engineered to resist chalking, cracking, peeling and fading under Australian sun, and correct installation and keeping the roof free of chemical contamination both help.
For properties in high-corrosion environments — Melbourne’s bayside suburbs in particular — we specify COLORBOND® Ultra, a BlueScope Steel product with enhanced corrosion resistance engineered for salt-air exposure. Standard COLORBOND® steel performs well in ordinary inland and inner-suburban conditions. If your home sits within a few kilometres of the water, Ultra is not an upsell, it is the correct specification.
Two factors drive every profile recommendation we make:
Our assessment covers both before we recommend anything. If your existing roof is worn but structurally sound, we may find restoration or repair is the better path first. If you are building, extending, or the roof is genuinely at end of life, we will specify the profile, colour and system that suits your property.
We document projects before and after, so you can judge the workmanship for yourself rather than take our word for it. Browse the completed COLORBOND® steel projects in the gallery — corrugated profiles on heritage homes, TRIMDEK® on contemporary builds, Klip-Lok 700® on low-pitch commercial rooflines — and see what over 25 years of experienced workmanship looks like across the varied housing stock in the Melbourne suburbs we serve, from the inner north and inner east through to the south-east corridor.
When you contact First Class Roofing, here is what happens: we inspect your roof thoroughly, explain every option available for your situation, recommend the right solution for your property — restoration, repair or a full COLORBOND® steel installation — and keep you informed from assessment through to final inspection. No surprises, no pressure, no obligation to proceed.
Our operating hours are Monday to Friday 7am–5pm and Saturday 8am–12pm, and we schedule assessments and works within those hours so you know when to expect us.
