We manage every step: removing your existing roof, inspecting the structure underneath, and installing a new system that complies with NSW building codes and Blacktown City Council requirements.

How We Approach Metal Roof Replacements, Repairs, & More
Here’s how our team at Silverleaf Roofing approaches every metal roof replacement in Blacktown to make things clear and straightforward.
Inspection and Advice
We start by checking your roof’s age, material type, rusting, leaks, and any hidden issues. We’ll explain whether replacement is the best solution and walk you through compliance and options. We’ll talk you through what we find, answer your questions, and explain why replacement is the right choice if the issues are beyond simple patch jobs.
Replacement and Clean-Up
Once you’re happy to go ahead, we organise everything, from the removal of the old roof, checks on the structure underneath, and installation of your new Colorbond® or preferred products. Our team removes all old roofing, checks the framework, and installs your new metal roof using top-quality sheets and flashings. We follow council and NSW safety standards, leaving your property tidy and ready to enjoy.
Final Roof Inspection
Every project ends with a full inspection to ensure watertightness, structural strength, and proper ventilation. We’ll walk you through your new roof and provide after-service support.
Post-Job Walkthrough and Support
Before we pack up, we take you through the finished roof, talk over care guidelines and answer any questions. We’re on hand after the job for follow-up advice if you need it.
How We Replace Tile Roofs with Metal
Tile-to-metal upgrades are a common service in Blacktown. Unlike overlays, we completely remove old tiles to ensure compliance, prevent condensation problems, and protect against pests.
Remove Old Tiles and Prepare Roof
Our team starts every metal roof replacement by removing all existing tile roofing, along with any underlay or battens. This allows us to check and deal with issues like timber rot, pest damage, or sagging rafters before installing anything new.
Removing the tiles fully, rather than laying metal over the top, avoids compliance problems, condensation issues, and future vermin trouble. It’s the method required by local codes, and we follow all safety and disposal rules, especially if we come across asbestos.
Upgrade Battens and Install Sarking
Once the tile roof is stripped back, we adjust or replace the battens so they’re right for metal sheeting. Metal roofing needs a specific batten layout for strength against storms and wind. We install new treated pine or steel battens, then fit heavy-duty sarking to control condensation and lift your home’s energy efficiency.
This approach supports the long life and weather resilience you expect from a modern metal roof.
Choose Steel Roof Sheets Profiles and Finishes
Choosing the right profile and finish is crucial. We commonly install COLORBOND® steel for its proven reliability against harsh sun, storms, and local weather extremes. Our team helps homeowners select metal roof colours and profiles that suit both the home’s style and performance needs.
Every step, from roof sheets selection to custom flashings, follows local best practice to keep your roof watertight and looking sharp.
Add Insulation and Ventilation for Comfort
Proper insulation and ventilation are added during replacement to keep your home cooler in summer and reduce energy bills. We often install bulk insulation and advanced sarking under the new roof.
Extras like whirlybirds or ridge vents can be included, all based on how your home is built and your personal needs. This means your new metal roof doesn’t just look good, as it works better for your household comfort, too.

What Affects Metal Roofing Longevity
When we talk about how long metal roofs last, it’s because reliability matters for every homeowner. Most metal roofing systems we install in Penrith easily provide 40 to 70 years of service, and premium options like standing seam can exceed a century if maintained.
Below, we break down the factors influencing lifespan and how our team at Silverleaf Roofing makes those years count.
- Installation Quality – Getting longevity out of a metal roof comes down to the quality of the installation. Our team uses best-practice fastening and flashing, avoiding shortcuts that lead to leaks or early failures.
- Maintenance Needs – Routine maintenance is key for a long-lasting roof. This includes annual inspections, debris removal from roof surfaces and gutters, and touching up any early signs of corrosion. We recommend scheduling checks ahead of storm season and, where trees are nearby, gutter cleaning at least twice a year.
- Material and Paint Choice – Not all metal roofs are equal. Higher-grade coatings like Kynar 500 and corrosion-resistant alloys make a real difference, especially under hot sun and heavy rainfall.
- Effect of Professional Replacement – A proper replacement means all old materials are removed, potential issues with structure or insulation are fixed, and the new system is installed seamlessly.
At Silverleaf Roofing, we only handle full metal roof replacements because it lets us control every detail that affects the roof’s lifespan. Our process ensures you get every year possible out of your new investment.
