Do you know roughly how big your house is? I can tell you a rough cost for a brand new metal roof? If that helps?
You know that you have to get a qualified roofer or plumber to do it hon :(
I *think* my SIL paid $10,000 for her's and she has a small 12square home but you could see if anyone has specials on and some places give you a discount if you have a sign on your front lawn for 6-12 months
muppity its around 22sq, thankd hun!!
maz :o seriously ?????
we just had ours re pointed and painted and about 50 tiles replaced and it cost us $11000! we are happy with it and thought about a new tin roof but i think that would cost about $30000 and wouldnt suite our house style TBH
Ours is about 18
I'll double check babe...I'll ask J tonight. She lives in Fern tree gulley and I can find out the name of the person.
ANd yep its not cheap. You have to have a certificate for any work done to your roof now a days and plumbers charge through the nose for their services. We hade the roof put on the extention out the back, its was 3m wide and 15m long and it cost us $4000, $1000 of it was cash in hand to the guy, J helped and $3000 in materials
we did get a quote from a guy for $3000 but like maz said we wanted a building certificate and warenty and stuff
:o man thats crazy!
The company i work for built a house 210m2 (thats the closest in size i could find to yours) last year and the metal roof cost $3000 inc GST if thats any help.
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 :ROFL:
thanks ammaki!!
:rofl: maz!!
thanks for all the help and info ladies!
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 :dunno: sorry
thanks ammaki, im hoping like mad that thats the price we may be looking at! wil make some calls
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. :)
still wanna do it hon??
olive, you've seen my home ... we replaced the tin on the old part of the house (not the bit where i had my baby shower) and they needed to replace majority of the timber as well as it was very old and not so great. It cost us $12k from memory ...... we did get a qquote from a guy in Melb who drove this suped up monster ute thing, he was cool, his quote was about $11k from memory and would take the mess away too ...........
We only went with the local guys because originally the quote was $8K but because we needed timber stuff replaced as well we had to get in other guys to do that :wall:
just a tip, if you are getting insulation or want to replace your insulation it will be easiest to get that done at the same time.

maz id love a tin roof but not for those prices :lol: nothing beats the sound of rain on a tin roof!
Ok, these prices are for us in central qld, material will come from probably 2 hours away, so might be bit higher.
1. Measure site, take quantities and sign contract - $900.
2. Labour & costs to obtain Home Warranty Insurance - $750. Any work over a certain amount needs this I believe? Our warranty arrived in the mail the other day. If something goes wrong within the next 10 years, we are covered.
3. Install Tiger tail (complies with local energy supplier and work cover requirements) I think this is a cover that wraps around the electrical line entering the house from the powerpole out the front, if that makes sense?
4. Scaffolding - again to comply with work cover. $3500 (I have heard that some people here in town were being charged $8000 for their scaffolding) :o
5. Corrugated roofing sheets - $3750
6. Sarking and insulation blanket $825. This goes underneath the roofing, and does help a little with the heat, PLUS, I was told by several other people it is a requirement if you are replacing a certain percentage of your roof.?? Not sure how true that is though??
7. Materials- flashing, cappings, and valleys - $ 300
8. labour and materials to batten screw $850
9.Crane materials to and from roof (highset house) $250. I don't know if this is for the solar hot water system only or everything else as well.
10. labour to remove and replace all roof sheets - $6000. (they worked this out by taking our roof measurement of 150m2 multiplying it by $40)
11. Labvour and matgerial to replace roof protrusion flashing $100
12.Fixings and hardware $250
13. Cleaning entire site of all building waste and debris on completion of works and remove it from site - $500. (this is a fee charged by the local dump)
These prices DO NOT include GST! Plus there is also a builder margin on top of it all as well. There was also a location allowance added on top.
They allow for a 10% increase in the total roof measurements for the pitch of the roof and for wastage, incase the roof is out of square. I think it comes to probably a bit under $30,000.. I left out the other bits, like the new solar hot water, and whirly birds :)
Definately shop around though. we got another quote for the insurance company and it came to about 20 grand more..
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 :lol:
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 :D
If you are planning to make it a brand new metal roof, then you have to know that exact area of your house. And the design of your roof should be considered to. If you know an engineer, you can ask him to estimate the cost. Roofers
sooooo
did you ring around hon?
not yet darl! hopefully will get DH onto it this week!
