Iron Roofing in Adelaide | Big Little Home enhancements

Classic corrugated iron roofs give Adelaide’s character homes their distinctive charm.

Modern restorations and replacements now use high-tensile coated steel, such as Colorbond, combining that timeless look with superior durability and weather resistance. Big Little Home Enhancements specialises in iron roof restorations and full roof replacements, delivering long-lasting protection while preserving the heritage style of your home.

Iron Roofing That Stands the Test of Time

Traditional iron-clad roofing is an iconic feature of many older South Australian homes. Restoring or replacing your roof with a corrugated steel profile preserves the heritage appeal of your character home while providing modern strength, as today’s coated steel products outperform the original iron in durability and weather protection.

This approach offers cost-effective longevity, extending the lifespan of your roof and reducing the need for constant patch repairs. With a range of roofing iron profiles available, every roof can be custom-fitted to match your existing roofline.

Our Specialised Iron Roofing Services

We provide services for traditional corrugated iron roofs, offering both meticulous restorations and full replacements to suit your home’s needs.

Iron Roof Restoration

For roofs that are structurally sound but showing signs of rust, wear, or fading, our restoration process includes:

High-pressure cleaning to remove dirt, moss, and flaking paint
Rust treatment and conversion to stop corrosion in its tracks
Application of protective primers for long-term resilience
Finishing with a durable, weather-resistant roof membrane coating

Iron Roof Replacement

When a roof is beyond repair, replacement is the smarter investment. Our process involves:

Careful removal of old iron sheets with full site safety in mind
Installation of new, modern steel roofing (e.g., Colorbond) in a corrugated profile

What is the process for restoring a rusted iron roof?

Our process includes cleaning, rust treatment, priming, and applying a durable roof coating. This halts further corrosion and restores both function and appearance.

Yes. Modern Colorbond sheets are available in traditional roofing iron profiles that replicate the original look while offering far superior performance.
