Colorbond® delivers long life, low maintenance, and excellent performance. It’s durable and tough enough for most environments and comes in a range of colours.

Gutter leaking? We have been providing a full-service roof gutter replacement and maintenance service for more than 20 years.
If you have guttering issues, we have guttering solutions. These issues can create rust, corrosion, water penetration, interior damage, timber damage, foundation damage, electrical issues, roof gaps, timber decay or mould, ceiling damage, and insulation damage.
It doesn’t matter what type of roofing material you have or whether it’s brand new or ailing, your gutters and downpipes have an essential role to play in channelling rainwater from your home. If you don’t address roof and gutter repairs quickly, it will lead to bigger problems.
Ivy Roofing Specialists has a long history of working with insurance companies and builders throughout New South Wales. We are happy to coordinate with them and schedule work along with the insurance claim’s requirements. We deliver the work as required to make the process as stress-free and seamless as possible.
Your insurance company will arrange a make-safe, which is a temporary repair that allows for further investigation to determine the next steps. This will allow for temporary repairs on the day if the full repair can’t be completed then. An insurance assessor will visit to carry out an inspection to determine what is damaged and what is natural wear and tear before repairs are completed.
We can also handle commercial roof repairs.
If you need roof maintenance, metal roof repairs, guttering repairs, tile roof repairs, a roof fix or roof work or you’d like a roof leak investigation, Ivy Roofing Specialists can help. As roofing specialists in Sydney, we can offer full residential roofing and roof repairs.
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. We’ve been installing internal box gutters and external gutters around Sydney for over 20+ years and know how to repair or replace gutters that have rusted, started leaking, been poorly installed or are suffering from general wear and tear.
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.
