Western Sydney is known for its year-round climate, providing residents with excellent education options, diverse neighbourhoods, and a solid industry to keep jobs coming. It’s home to stunning waterways, stellar bushland, agricultural space, and national parks as well. The area is just as popular with elderly couples as it is with young families and much of that is down to its multicultural food scene.
It’s only a 45-minute drive from the Sydney CBD, which makes it a great choice for commuters who want all the amenities of the city. With heavy rain, hailstorms, and blistering sun, your Western Sydney roof puts up with a lot and we can help you manage roofing and roof repairs to keep it in tip-top condition.
Ivy Roofing Specialists are proud to deliver roofing services across Western Sydney and beyond. We tailor our services to our customers, whether you’re a residential homeowner with a desperate need for roofing repairs, a Strata manager looking for soft wash cleaning, or a commercial property building owner looking for a roof and gutter replacement.
We offer tailored solutions, matching your new roof with your home’s style and aesthetic. We pride ourselves on delivering stellar workmanship and work with prestigious brands to ensure a high quality of work.
We know how challenging Western Sydney weather can be on the state of your roof, which is why we recommend regular inspections to avoid major surprises. We’ll inspect your roofing, guttering, fascia, eaves, and flashings to ensure there are no signs of corrosion or damage. If we do find issues, we’ll issue a detailed report that highlights the possible next steps. It might be a simple cleaning or a patch repair, but it might be time to upgrade.
We offer cleaning using a soft wash system, ensuring we use extension poles and ladders to get to every part of your roof and there’s no risk of damage to the tiles or sheeting either.
If you want to avoid a major repair bill or constantly make little repairs to your roof, enlist a professional roofing company to carry out regular inspections. A roofer can keep track of trouble spots and recommend the right course of action before it becomes a serious problem.
In the meantime, you should take a look at your roof regularly, especially after storms or high winds. Look for loose or missing tiles and check indoors for signs of dampness that may indicate a leak.
We also work with insurance companies and contractors to work in line with insurance requirements.
Ivy Roofing Specialists deliver a range of services, including roofing, guttering, and cleaning services. We are happy to work with residential properties, as well as commercial and Strata buildings. Whether you answer to stakeholders, a body corporate, or your spouse… we can help you stay on top of your roofing and gutters.
If you need roofing emergency repairs, Ivy Roofing will have your back. We operate around the clock, year-round, to deliver our services in extreme emergencies. Don’t worry, we’re happy to visit you during normal working hours, too. We’ll come out and inspect your gutters, make recommendations about tiled roof repairs or metal roof repairs, and identify any issues.
We inspect, repair, and replace lead flashing, downpipes, gutters, roof screws, vent pipe penetration flashings, leaf screeners, metal flashing, and roof tiles. Are you worried your gutters aren’t draining to your downpipes properly? We can clear your gutters too.
Whether your commercial property features tiled roofing or metal sheeting, the weather can be a serious problem. We can handle roof repairs if you have a problem or offer commercial roof replacement if it’s time for an upgrade. We’ll carry out an inspection to find out if you have serious roofing problems or a simple repair will do the job.
In addition, we provide installation and annual certification of roof anchor points; this is a legal requirement for commercial and strata buildings to ensure a safe working environment.
We can check your gutters, ensure they are angled correctly, and review your down-pipe positioning, too. Damaged or clogged gutters and downpipes can cause serious damage and we can ensure there are no clogs before checking their angle against the pitch of the roof. It might be a quick adjustment or you could need a new system.
Whether you need roofing and roof repairs or want to know more about ongoing maintenance to take a proactive approach to managing your roofing, Ivy Roofing Specialists can help. We provide quality work at an affordable price, carrying out repairs, inspections, and replacements. Choose Ivy Roofing to choose the best.
All coloured materials will change colour when exposed to UV light – the paint finish on your car, the clothes on your line, and so on. When it comes to steel building materials, the extent of colour change is influenced by factors such as the colour itself, the aspect, the design of the structure and the environment. Dark colours are inherently prone to more noticeable colour change than lighter colours. Individual perceptions also come into play. How you see colour can differ greatly to someone else.

No. In summer a lightweight roof made from COLORBOND® steel or ZINCALUME® steel causes less heat to be radiated into your home because it cools down faster at night. And in winter, the same steel roof, properly insulated, helps keep the heat inside. This can result in reduced cooling and heating costs.

COLORBOND® steel and ZINCALUME® steel are thermally efficient roofing materials, radiating less heat into your home as they cool down faster at night. Lighter coloured roofs, irrespective of material, reflect more heat than darker shades. The result of this being less heat available to be radiated into your home. To reduce the transmission of heat into a building, insulation can be easily incorporated during the installation of the steel roof sheeting.
There are two types of insulation commonly used during the installation of steel roof sheeting. They are:
– Reflective foil, commonly referred to as ‘sarking’:
Reflective foil laminates which are commonly used to provide heat insulation under roof sheeting can serve a dual function as a vapour barrier, simply by thoroughly sealing the foil overlaps with moisture impervious adhesive tapes. The laps should be about 100mm and kept in close contact when positioning the laminate so the tape can be readily applied. The laminate must be allowed to drape between the roof supports so the cold temperature of the roof sheeting will not be transmitted to the laminate by contact. If this were to happen condensation could form on the underside of the laminate and may drip into the ceiling space.
– Combined foil and glass/wool insulation blanket:
This blanket should be installed over the battens with the glass/wool insulation facing up in temperate zones and facing down in tropical zones. For advice appropriate to your area, please phone BlueScope Steel Direct on 1800 022 999. There should be no sagging between battens to avoid air spaces between the fibreglass and the underside of the roof sheeting.
