Why Maitland Metal Roofing

Our own crew, our own standards

We're a licensed NSW roofing contractor (lic. 463604C) with our own crew. The people who measure and quote your roof are the people who install it and clean up after it — no subbed-out strangers on your roof.

Fixed written quotes

We get up on the roof, measure it, photograph it and give you a written, itemised price — not a guess over the phone.

Metal specialists

COLORBOND® and ZINCALUME® steel is what we do every day: re-roofs, conversions, extensions, gutters and flashings.

Clean, safe sites

Edge protection goes up before we start, the old roof is cleared and disposed of, and the house is tarped if weather turns.

Local knowledge

Heritage areas in Central Maitland, Morpeth and East Maitland, floodplain homes, coastal salt in Port Stephens — we plan for it.

Storm-ready paperwork

Hail or wind damage? We document it with photos and a written scope you can send straight to your insurer.

Light, cool roofs

Light Colorbond colours reflect more heat — useful when Maitland averages 30.2°C in January (BOM).

Roofing in Maitland: common questions

How much does a new metal roof cost in Maitland?

Every roof is measured before we quote, but as a guide whatsthedamage.com.au's Newcastle guide (Sept 2026) puts Colorbond re-roofing at $76–$170 per m², with full single-storey replacements around $9,500–$23,750. Removing tiles or asbestos, two storeys, steep pitches and new gutters add to the price. Try our cost calculator for a ballpark.

Do I need council approval to replace my roof?

Replacing roof cladding on an ordinary one- or two-storey house is generally exempt development under the NSW Codes SEPP, as long as you're not changing the structure or adding openings. Homes in Maitland's seven heritage conservation areas, including Central Maitland, East Maitland, Lorn, Bolwarra and Morpeth, usually need consent. We'll tell you at the quote.

Can you replace my tile roof with metal?

Yes — tile-to-metal conversions are one of our most common jobs. We strip the tiles, check and adjust battens, install sarking or an insulation blanket, then fit new Colorbond sheets, flashings and ridge capping. Metal is much lighter than tiles and removes the cracked-tile and re-pointing maintenance cycle.

Do you remove asbestos roofs?

Yes, we coordinate it. In NSW, more than 10 m² of non-friable asbestos must be removed by a SafeWork NSW-licensed Class B removalist, SafeWork must be notified five days ahead, and a clearance inspection is done before we install the new roof. We organise each step so you deal with one team.

Which areas do you service?

All of Maitland and the wider Hunter: Rutherford, Thornton, East Maitland, Chisholm, Lochinvar and every Maitland suburb, plus Cessnock and Kurri Kurri, Raymond Terrace and Port Stephens, Newcastle's western suburbs, Lake Macquarie, Paterson, Dungog and Singleton.

Can you help with a hail or storm damage insurance claim?

Yes. After an event like the Boxing Day 2023 hailstorm, which hit Rutherford hardest, we inspect, photograph the damage and give you a written scope and quote to send to your insurer. Call your insurer first, and the NSW SES on 132 500 if you need emergency help making the house safe.
