Commercial Roofing Brisbane – Industrial Roofing Experts

Commercial buildings need different kinds of roofing work over their life, and we cover all of them under one licence. That includes commercial asbestos roof replacement, which our own crews carry out rather than subcontracting to a third party.

Commercial metal re-roofing and replacement

When rust and fastener failures become common, or significant storm damage occurs, patching no longer makes financial sense. In these situations, we can remove the old roof and thoroughly inspect the purlins underneath it. If any purlins are unable to support the new sheeting, we repair them before installing the new roof. We use Colorbond steel or Zincalume, adhering to BlueScope specifications. Our work comes with a 10-year warranty, so you get peace of mind in our craftsmanship.

New commercial and industrial roof installation

Builders and developers bring us in on new commercial building projects where the roof needs to be right first time and on program. We work off the engineer’s details and coordinate around the other trades on site. The sheeting and flashings go on as one package with the roof drainage. Wall cladding can be run at the same time.

Commercial roof repairs

Leaks are the most common reason for the first call, but the cause is often something else. Lifted or loose sheets after a storm, failed flashings at penetrations, rusted valleys, and poor or inadequate drainage are some examples of problems appearing in the form of water inside a building. We find the actual source before quoting, so our metal roof repairs fix the fault instead of covering it.

Roof maintenance, inspections and condition reports

Regular maintenance is far more cost-effective than waiting for problems to appear, especially on industrial roofs where minor issues can escalate before they’re noticed. Our team carries out a thorough roof inspection, including the sheeting, fixings, flashings and drainage systems. Once the inspection is complete, you’ll receive a detailed report with photographs and a clear breakdown of any defects that need attention.

Guttering, box gutters and downpipes

Commercial drainage carries a lot more water than a domestic system, and box gutters on older Brisbane buildings are frequently undersized for the rainfall we now get. We replace box gutters and eaves guttering, and size downpipes and overflow provisions to AS/NZS 3500.3. Sumps and rainheads are fabricated to suit the building rather than bought off the shelf.

Wall cladding and insulated panel

Metal wall cladding not only neatens the exterior appearance of a building but also offers reliable weather protection that complements the roof. We install Colorbond wall cladding in various profiles and colours. For spaces that require temperature regulation, like cold storage or production rooms, we offer insulated panels. Additionally, when installing new roof sheeting, insulation can be incorporated to enhance energy efficiency and climate control within the building.

Skylights and roof ventilation

Bringing natural light into warehouse and factory floors can enhance the work environment while reducing daytime lighting expenses. Installing skylights made of polycarbonate or glass is an effective solution. We ensure these installations meet safety standards by including a protective mesh underneath when necessary.

In a place like Brisbane with its soaring summer temperatures, proper roof ventilation is really important. Installing whirlybirds or ridge vents can efficiently remove accumulated heat from the roof space, creating a cooler atmosphere for your employees and making their working conditions more comfortable and productive.

Warehouses and factories make up a large part of our commercial operations, with expansive roofs stretching over thousands of square metres. Planning access in these environments involves coordinating with forklift traffic and scheduling around loading activities. Retail stores and shopping centres, on the other hand, require any work to be done outside of their business hours to avoid disrupting customers.

Offices sit somewhere in between, with noise and dust the main concerns for tenants. Aged care and childcare centres bring the tightest requirements of all, since the building stays occupied by people who can’t simply be moved for the day, and every crew member needs the right clearances. We also work regularly with body corporate and strata committees on multi-building sites.

Inspection and measure

One of our team members visits the site and safely climbs onto the roof. They carefully assess the roof’s current condition, examine the underlying structure, and check the drainage system’s efficiency. We also measure the entire area and take note of anything that could impact the project, such as nearby machinery, the roof’s height, overhead power lines, or limited access points.

Quote and plan

We will provide you with a detailed quote, breaking down the cost of each part of your project. You’ll also receive a tailored works plan that aligns with your operations. This plan outlines access points, the order of work, and schedules for any noisy tasks. We won’t begin until you give your approval for both the quote and the plan.

Preparation and removal

We start by preparing the site, which includes setting up any scaffolding and edge protection. This makes sure there is a safe working environment from the beginning. Workers also establish exclusion zones and install clear signage to guide everyone on-site. Any vital stock or equipment below will be protected from potential harm.

With these safety measures in place, the team removes the old roof in sections. Doing it this way makes sure that the building remains protected from the weather every night. After removing the roofing materials, they are promptly taken off-site and sent for recycling for an eco-friendly service.

Installation and handover

Installing a new metal roof involves a step-by-step process. Each section is carefully put in place, with flashings and fasteners attached according to the manufacturer’s guidelines to ensure the BlueScope material warranty remains valid. The drainage system gets the same meticulous attention. At the end of each day, we thoroughly clean the site, using a magnetic sweep to pick up any metal debris or scraps. When everything is finished, we take you on a walkthrough of your new roof and hand over all the necessary warranty paperwork.
