Replace Old Decramastic Roof Tiles & Protect your Home
Many homes built in Australia from the 1950s through to the 1980s were installed with a decramastic roof. These pressed metal sheets were designed to look like traditional roof tiles, but over time many decramastic roofs begin to rust, leak or lose their protective coating.
If your decramastic roof tiles are deteriorating, replacing the roof can restore the safety and appearance of your home.
At Roo Roofing, we specialise in decramastic roof replacement, repairs and restoration across Brisbane. Our team regularly works on older homes where decramastic roofing has reached the end of its lifespan.
Whether your roof needs minor repairs or a full replacement, we can inspect the roof and recommend the most practical solution.

Replacement Planning:
Once the project is approved, we organise the materials and installation schedule.
Planning includes selecting new roof materials, organising safety equipment, scheduling the installation, and confirming the timeline.
This preparation helps ensure the replacement runs smoothly.

Roof Removal and Installation:
During installation, the existing decramastic tiles or sheets are removed carefully and disposed of safely.
The roof structure is inspected and repaired if required before installing the new roofing system.
Many homeowners choose to upgrade to modern metal roofing during this stage, which provides improved durability and weather resistance.

Final Inspection:
After installation is complete, we carry out a final inspection of the roof.
This includes checking flashing, drainage and overall installation quality to ensure the roof performs as expected.
