ahhh but dont forget that building companies get cheaper rates for materials hon and for the $3000 does that include the labour or just the cost of the metal? Does it include guttering, capping, timber needed to 'straighted' the roof for the sheeting to go on (which would have to be replaced aswell). Im pretty sure metal prices went up november from what J told me (he's a building supervisor)

OH and just a thought to...prices may go up AGAIN as Comalco...blue steel what ever its called now in Hastings had a huge explosion not long ago (SIL works there) and they seem to think that metal prices might get more $$$$$

ETA - Ive jsut realised i know way to much in regards to building...Ive gotta get J to shut up when he comes home from work

We're in QLD too so not sure if prices are different, that was supply install. But thats a brand new house going up... was just a guideline to go off. People in Vic could probably be more help sorry

The problem with converting is that you need to have a different type of wooden supports built into place to hold the new roof (and don't forget it can have an impact on your insulation, etc). So it's extra labour over & above what you would need building a roof from scratch.

Neighbour had his done, $16K - gorgeous colourbond (*drools*).

We recently had ours fixed - some tiles replaced, caps rebedded and thingied with a flexible mortar. $2.8K. It would be another $2 approx to have it repainted with a thermally reflective coating...which is worth thinking about in a hot area. I'm saving my pennies to get it done.

I was looking at doing the same, my uncle is a builder and told me rough estimate to swap over would be about $15-20K and I would need to change my roof trusses, as they are different for an iron roof.

I ended up having the tiles cleaned, replaced, rejointed and painted/re-sealed for about $3500 and that came with workmanship warranty etc and about 6 spare tiles left behind painted to match in case any cracked over time. I used Roof Seal.......think they are in Vic - I know they've been advertising all over the TV here with some kinda of special atm.

I can't do a full reply now, have to go get DS who is calling, then off to school to get DD.

We have a quote to get out roof replace due to storm damage. We are getting zincalume, (not colorbond), plus a solar hart, aerial, and whirly birds, and it comes to about $33000... They legally are required to have scaffolding around the house, so that was about 3 grand. I will put a break down of costs up here for you later on.

I just spoke to J and he informed me that the price of a tile roof is generally already incorporated into the price of a house and the $3000 you are talking about is the 'extra' for the metal roof. so the roof would be alot more then just the $3000 IFYKWIM.

For the record..J said if your building company does roofs for that cheap you guys can come and do ours

ok J just also said that to work out a 'rough' cost is

22 squares x 9.29 will give you the 'squares' your case 204.38
then times that amount by $16 a m at supply ONLY...that's just the metal sheeting. hon = $3270.48

Thats NO labour ($150 an hour plumber and thats just one) no screws, no capping.

back to the tiles now babe ...ive got a trailer load spare ones if you want them for free
