Roof Replacement in Canberra
When repair or restoration is no longer the answer, we replace your roof completely - done properly with quality materials, new insulation, and a 5-year workmanship guarantee.
When It Is Time for a New Roof
Sometimes a roof reaches the point where patching and restoring no longer makes financial sense. If your roof has widespread structural damage, severe rust, multiple persistent leaks, or is simply at the end of its lifespan, a full replacement is the most cost-effective long-term solution.
At Leaky Roof, we handle the entire replacement process from start to finish. We carefully remove your old roofing, inspect the underlying timber structure for any damage, install new sarking and insulation, and fit your new roof with quality materials - whether that is Colorbond steel, Zincalume, or tiles. All new flashings, valleys, ridges, and gutters are included.
We manage council compliance where required and handle all waste removal so you are left with a clean site and a brand new roof that will protect your home for decades. Every replacement is backed by our 5-year workmanship guarantee on top of the manufacturer's material warranty.

Everything You Get with This Service
Full Roof Removal
We carefully strip your old roof, inspect every section of the underlying timber frame, and address any rot, pest damage, or structural concerns before the new roof goes on.
Sarking & Insulation
New building wrap (sarking) is installed under your roofing for weatherproofing and condensation control. We also upgrade your insulation to meet current energy efficiency standards - important for Canberra's temperature extremes.
Quality Roofing Materials
Choose from Colorbond steel (the most popular choice in Canberra), Zincalume, or tile. We help you select the right material, profile, and colour to suit your home and budget.
Flashings, Valleys & Ridges
Every replacement includes brand new flashings around walls, chimneys, and penetrations, new valley irons, and new ridge capping - all the critical detail work that prevents leaks.
Gutter & Downpipe Upgrade
Where your existing gutters are worn or incompatible with the new roof, we replace them with new Colorbond gutters and downpipes matched to your roof colour.
Waste Removal & Clean-Up
We remove all old roofing materials, nails, and debris from your property. You are left with a clean site and a brand new roof - no mess left behind.
