With over two decades in the business, Ivy Roofing Specialists has been maintaining, repairing, and replacing strata and commercial roofs.
If you’re a strata manager, we can offer you a quick turnaround and professional services across the wider Sydney area, whether you have a tile or metal roof.
We produce detailed reports, and with a dedicated administration team, you can rely on us for prompt communication. Our team are all fully qualified tradesmen, travelling in company trucks, wearing a uniform for easy identification, and we are fully OH&S trained and compliant.
If you have a metal roof, we can carry out repairs and replacements. Your roof absorbs everything the weather throws at it and it will eventually wear down and deteriorate. Commercial metal roof maintenance requires a specialised approach and we can handle a range of tasks, including replacing metal flashings, back trays around roof penetrations, air conditioner deck tights, box gutters and sumps, as well as factory skylights.
One of the biggest challenges repair teams face is roof leak investigation, with large roof areas making it difficult to pinpoint issues. For our team, though, it’s a cinch, and we’re equipped to tackle these issues to make sure your roof is secure.
If you need expert assistance or advice, a member of our team can visit your site and carry out an inspection to determine the next steps.
In need of a roof replacement? We’ll remove the old metal sheeting before replacing it with a new metal roof. We use Colorbond® products, so you have a range of colours to choose from and we can tailor-fit it to your home. Colorbond® is durable and long-lasting, tough enough for any environment. It’s low-maintenance and with so many colours, you can modernise your home.
We follow strict requirements to ensure our team members have gone through the right background checks to carry out work in aged care facilities safely and respectfully. We have been working with aged care providers for decades and have worked with some of the largest providers in the greater Sydney area.
You can also expect our team members to arrive in company vehicles and uniforms. All of our employees are OH&S trained and we provide detailed invoicing.
Skylights are an important part of managing lighting costs and ensuring effective lighting in commercial spaces. Over time, factory skylight sheets can darken due to age and a buildup of dirt and debris. This reduces the amount of light they let in, forcing you to rely more on artificial lighting and driving up electricity costs.
Skylights can also be a source of leaks, particularly if they aren’t regularly inspected and properly maintained. This is often due to deteriorating nylon washers and aging fiberglass sheeting.
The Ivy Roofing Specialists team is experienced in handling all skylight repair and replacement. We can also handle gutter repairs and install accessories and flashings and we offer affordable service and a high-quality of work.
We are experienced working with insurance companies and builders across New South Wales. We’ll coordinate with them to arrange the work so you don’t have to! It’s stressful enough, and we aim to shoulder some of that on your behalf.
If you’ve never made an insurance claim before, the first step is to reach out to the insurance company to issue a make-safe and send a professional out to handle a temporary repair to tide you over. We always aim for a quick turnaround because we understand how stressful it can be.
We can also help with insurance quotes for any required maintenance. Often, insurance companies will ask that specific roof repairs or maintenance be completed before they approve internal repairs. We can take care of this for you. We offer a comprehensive maintenance quote, covering all the reported issues; we’ll also carry out the necessary work and provide proof-of-works photos to your insurance provider. That way, there’s no stone left unturned.
In addition to emergency roof repairs, Ivy Sydney Roofing Specialists can handle guttering repairs.
Do you own or manage a strata property or commercial building? You have legal obligations to provide a safe working environment for contractors, which includes a roof anchor. This safety system ensures workers can secure themselves while carrying out work.
Ivy Roofing Specialists can supply, install, and certify roof anchors on both metal and tile roofs. We also test and certify existing anchors to ensure they meet safety standards. Need a temporary solution? We provide temporary anchor systems during roof works and can install access platforms for added safety and ease of access.
Looking for more than anchor systems? We also install access platforms to further improve roof safety and accessibility. A safe working environment not only protects contractors but also helps you meet your legal obligations with confidence. Trust Ivy Roofing Specialists to deliver professional anchor installation, certification, and maintenance services designed to keep everyone safe at height.
Factory skylights deteriorate with age, weather exposure and the buildup of dirt and debris. This reduces the amount of natural light that enters this space, leading to inefficiency and higher energy bills. Cracked or damaged skylights also pose a risk of leaks, which can compromise the integrity of your roof.
At Ivy Roofing Specialists, we offer expert factory skylight replacement services that will restore your facilities and natural lighting and energy efficiency fast. Our team will remove old or damaged skylights and install new, common, durable replacements that are designed to withstand harsh conditions.
Trust us to ensure your skylight replacement is sufficient and professional, with minimal disruption to your operations.

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.

Like roof inspections, gutter maintenance is something that you can easily outsource to the professionals, like us here at Ivy Roofing.

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.
