Complete Metal Roofing Services
ARC covers the full scope of metal roofing work across the Northern Beaches — from new builds to full replacements and urgent storm repairs.
We work on homes, strata, and small commercial properties. Our approach is always the same: inspect properly, specify coastal-grade materials, and install with safe, clean workmanship you can rely on.
New Metal Roof Installation
For new homes, extensions and major renovations, we install complete roof systems with the right profile, flashings and drainage for coastal weather.
We coordinate penetrations (skylights, vents), confirm colours early, and plan condensation control (sarking/blanket) so the finished roof performs as well as it looks.
Tile-to-Metal Conversion
Converting tiles to metal modernises the look, reduces weight, and removes common tile leak points. Most Northern Beaches conversions are completed in 3–5 days, depending on roof size, access and weather.
We remove tiles, assess battens and visible timbers, install sarking/blanket as required, then fit the new metal roof and finish details cleanly.
Metal Roof Replacement (Re-Roofing)
When a roof has widespread leaks, corrosion, or repeated patch repairs, replacement is often the best long-term decision.
We manage removal, disposal, profile selection, new roof installation, and optional upgrades like gutters, ventilation and skylights so the whole system works together.
Metal Roof Restoration
Where the roof structure is sound and corrosion is limited, restoration can extend service life.
This may include replacing damaged sheets and flashings, upgrading fixings, sealing problem junctions, improving drainage, and addressing condensation drivers.
The goal is to stop the issue at the source — not just mask it.

Gutters, Fascia & Downpipes
Gutters are critical on the Northern Beaches — overflow and backflow often masquerade as roof leaks.
We replace and upgrade gutters/downpipes to improve flow, reduce joins, and keep drainage reliable during intense downpours and leaf drop.
Storm Damage Roof Repairs (Urgent)
If you’ve had wind lift, water ingress, or damage around ridges and gutters, we provide fast repairs to make the roof safe and watertight.
We’ll also identify why the failure happened (fixings, laps, flashings, overflow) so the same spot doesn’t fail again next storm.
Why Northern Beaches Roofs Need Coastal Engineering
From Manly through to Palm Beach, the environment is harder on a roof than most Sydney suburbs. Coastal roofs don’t usually fail because the sheet “wears out” — they fail at the edges, the fixings, and the details where wind-driven rain and salt can get a foothold.
That’s why we treat Northern Beaches projects as coastal engineering jobs, not generic re-roofs. Here are the six forces we design for.
Salt carried on sea air accelerates corrosion on cut edges, flashings, fixings and gutters.
If the wrong coating or hardware is used, rust shows up early around screws, valleys and penetrations. Coastal detailing and compatible materials are non-negotiable on the Beaches.
Strong sun and reflected glare off sand and water increase heat cycling and paint stress.
Over time, UV can fade finishes and harden sealants if the roof system isn’t specified correctly. Good material selection and ventilation reduce heat load and extend performance.
Northern Beaches storms bring gusts that test every lap, ridge, and edge. Wind-driven rain finds tiny gaps around skylights, valleys and wall junctions. A roof must be fixed, flashed, and sealed as a system — not “patched” — so it stays tight in real weather.
Suburbs near bushland can face ember attack and BAL requirements. Roofing needs tight detailing at ridges, valleys, gutters and penetrations to limit ember entry, plus material choices suited to bushfire-prone areas. We can specify BAL-aligned solutions where required and practical.
Coastal humidity increases the risk of condensation under metal roofs, especially in older homes without modern sarking or airflow. Condensation can damage timbers and insulation and create mould. A coastal roof plan should include sarking, ventilation and moisture control from day one.
Wind-blown sand acts like fine grit. It wears at gutters, roof edges and lower slopes, and can block drainage during storms. Good water management, correct fall, and gutter capacity are essential to keep overflow and backflow from becoming “roof leaks”.
If you’re seeing recurring leaks, rusting fixings, noisy sheets in storms, or gutters that can’t cope with downpours, it’s a sign the roof system needs a coastal-grade upgrade — not another temporary repair.
