Signs You Need Roof Repairs
Spotting early signs of roof problems is the best way to protect your property and avoid bigger headaches down the track. Here’s what we see most often when working on roof repairs.
Water Stains on Ceilings or Walls
If you’ve noticed brownish marks or stains spreading across your ceilings or along interior walls, it can be a case of a leaking roof. These issues are typical after heavy rainfall or severe weather and often point to water finding its way through compromised sheets, seams, or flashings.
Our team is skilled in tracking these leaks to their source and providing practical, long-term solutions for metal roof repair, minimising further internal damage.
Rust, Corrosion, or Paint Failure on Metal Roofs
Rust spots, bubbling paint, or visible streaks on your metal roof panels are a clear warning that protective coatings have broken down. Exposure to air and weather accelerates corrosion, especially around seams, gutters, and fasteners. We handle repairs and replacements using only quality materials like Bluescope and Lysaght, ensuring your metal roof stands the test of Adelaide’s unique conditions.
Loose or Lifted Metal Sheets After Storms
High winds and sudden storms often loosen screws or warp metal sheets, leaving gaps that let in water and debris. You might notice raised seams, flapping panels, or even missing sheets after wild weather.
The crew quickly secures or replaces affected areas, restoring full weather protection and reducing the chance of sudden leaks.
Damaged Ridge Capping and Flashings
Cracked, detached, or corroded ridge cappings and flashing are common culprits behind roof leaks. These areas take the brunt of sun and storms, and issues here can let water directly into the roof cavity. Our roofers pay close attention to these vulnerable spots, replacing metal capping and updating flashings with proper sealing for lasting roof repairs.
If you’ve spotted any of these signs, don’t put off professional assessment. Contact us for reliable metal and Colorbond® roofing repair advice and workmanship that keeps your property protected.
Roof Repairs Services We Offer
At Metro Roofing Adelaide, our team focuses solely on metal roof repairs and replacements. We’re specialists with Colorbond®, Bluescope Lysaght, and Metroll products, bringing decades of experience both locally and overseas to every job.
Here’s what you can expect from our core roofing repair services.
Metal Roof Inspections and Leaking Roof Repairs
We start with a thorough inspection of your roof to spot visible damage, rust, or hidden leaks common to steel roofs. Our team checks flashing, valley irons, fasteners, and seals; every area where water might sneak in.
If leaks or corrosion are found, we use high-grade, weatherproof materials to restore watertightness and protect your property.
Metal Sheet and Flashing Replacement
If your metal sheets or flashings are deteriorated, corroded, or storm-damaged, we replace them with perfectly matched Colorbond® or Bluescope Lysaght products. This ensures your roof stays uniform in colour and profile, helps prevent future water entry, and keeps your home looking consistent. We’re careful to source compatible materials and follow best practices for every repair project.
High-Pressure Metal Roof Cleaning
Before any repair work, we use high-pressure roof cleaning to clear away built-up debris, moss, and animal droppings. This step is crucial for proper adhesion of primers and sealants, and it allows us to see any concealed issues. Clean surfaces always mean more durable repairs and longer-lasting results.
Roof Sealing and Protective Coating Application
To finish, we apply specialist primers and protective roof coatings made for the region’s climate, boosting resistance to UV, rain, and corrosion. These treatments aren’t just for appearance, as they extend the lifespan of your metal roof by years. We use only premium membrane systems designed for Colorbond® and similar metals.
If you’re after reliable, efficient metal roofing repairs or replacement, get in touch. Our team is ready to sort it all out with minimum disruption, clear communication, and work that stands up to local conditions.
Temporary Fixes For Roof Leaks
When dealing with unexpected roof leaks, fast action can stop the problem from getting worse until our team can provide a lasting repair. We work with homeowners across the region to ensure water damage stays minimal and safety isn’t put at risk.
Let’s cover the most practical ways to control leaks on metal and Colorbond® roofs before a full repair is booked.
Emergency Plastic Sheeting for Fast Coverage
A sheet of polyethylene or a tarpaulin creates an instant barrier over damaged sections of metal roofing. Make sure the plastic covers the leaks and extends up past the ridge line to direct water away.
- Use a large plastic sheet or tarp from a hardware store
- Cover the damaged area and extend past the ridge line
- Secure edges tightly with timber battens, nails, or heavy objects
- Use only in safe areas; avoid slippery or unstable zones
- Contact our roofing repairs team to check if it’s safe to tarp or better left for professional roof inspection
Metal Roof Patch Tape Application
For punctures, splits at seams, or screw hole leaks in metal roofs, metal roof patch tape or flashing tape is a reliable temporary fix.
- Clean and dry the surface thoroughly
- Apply patch tape firmly over cracks, holes, or seams
- Smooth it out to create a solid seal
- Use around roof joints, skylights, gutters, or fixture edges
- Monitor regularly and book repairs, as this is only a short-term solution
Quick Metal Roof Sealant Fixes
Acrylic or bitumen roof sealant is suitable for small cracks and isolated leaks. Only use on a dry day and make sure the surface is free of debris for the best result.
- Clean the affected area to remove dirt or rust
- Apply sealant carefully into the crack or gap
- Allow it to cure fully before rain exposure
- Use around flashing or fixture penetrations
- Treat it as a short-term fix while arranging a full inspection
Gutter and Internal Leak Control
Sometimes leaks start at gutters or valleys, not the roof itself. Clear blocked gutters and temporarily patch up holes or gaps with waterproof tape.
- Check gutters, downpipes, and valleys for blockages
- Clear debris and temporarily seal gutter holes
- Use waterproof tape for splits or separations
- Place buckets or containers under ceiling leaks
- Gently pierce bulging ceiling bubbles to release trapped water
If you’re facing leaks, use these tips to limit further issues but get in touch promptly—our team will organise a safe, permanent repair so you don’t have to keep worrying about short-term fixes.
Our Roof Repair Process
When your roof needs attention, our approach is simple and focused on quality. We treat every job with care, making sure your metal roof gets exactly what it needs.
Inspect and Assess the Full Roof
The entire roof is checked, not just the problem area. This includes rust, leaks, storm damage, and how well the steel holds up in the region’s weather.
Outline the Repair Plan and Options
After inspection, a clear repair plan is provided. If a full replacement isn’t needed, the reasons for repair are explained in simple terms.
Carry Out Repairs with Quality Materials
Repairs are completed using trusted steel products. Materials are matched to your roof for a clean finish and lasting strength.
Repaint and Reseal All Exposed Areas
Exposed steel and fasteners are repainted and resealed to extend the roof’s life. This helps prevent future rust and keeps the finish consistent.
Final Inspection and Site Clean-Up
A final check confirms all repairs are watertight and up to standard. All waste is removed and the site is left clean and tidy.
