Geelong Roof Replacement project features Colorbond® Shale Grey

March 19, 2016

True Blue Roofing have recently completed this re-roof / roof restoration / roof replacement project for this beautiful heritage cottage located in Geelong.  Geelong is a port city located on Corio Bay and the Barwon River in Victoria.  It is the second largest Victorian city and runs from the plains of Lara in the North to the rolling hills of Waurn Ponds in the South.  Geelong is also known as the ‘Gateway City’ due to is central location to surrounding regional centres like Ballarat, Torquay, Great Ocean Road, Warrnambool, Hamilton, Colac and Winchelsea as well as only being an hour from the state capital of Melbourne.

True Blue Roofing were called upon to restore this cottage roof by completing a complete roof replacement.  This is what the heritage home looked like prior to the roof restoration:

Before Geelong Roof Replacement

Before Geelong Roof Replacement

True Blue Roofing provided the following metal roof replacement services:

  • Removed all of the old corrugated roofing iron
  • Fixed all of the existing timber battens to the rafters ensuring the new roof had a solid fixing point.  We have qualified carpenters on hand to ensure this is completed to a professional standard.

 

  • We then installed a completely new corrugated iron roof which the client chose to use Colorbond® steel in “Shale Grey”.  This colour is described on the Colorbond® steel website as follows:

Shale Grey™ is evocative of Gulf coast mud plains, pale grey pebbles reflecting the sun, the ethereal grey mist rising from a surf beach, the silver grey leaves of native flora and the shimmering outcrops of rocks on the Great Dividing Range.

  • Supplied and Installed Quad gutter in Colorbond® Shale Grey.
  • Supplied and Installed ridge, valley and barge in Colorbond® Shale Grey
  • Supplied and Installed chimney flashing in Colorbond® Shale Grey
  • Supplied and Installed PVC round downpipes
  • Supplied Guardrails to ensure all legal Safety requirements were met
  • Removed all rubbish from site

This is what the home looked like after True Blue Roofing completed the roof restoration:
