The problem
The commercial property required attention to sections of its metal roof. The job photos show extensive rust and corrosion on some of the removed roof sheets. When metal roofing deteriorates to this extent, isolated patch repairs may not always be the most suitable option for the affected section.
A partial roof replacement allowed the deteriorated sheets to be removed while retaining the roof sections that did not require replacement.
What we found
Once the affected roof area was inspected, sections of the existing metal roofing were found to be heavily corroded. The removed sheets show clear surface deterioration and rusting across the metal.
How we completed the partial roof replacement
The DPS crew removed the affected roof sections and installed new metal roofing over the required area. The replacement sheets were fitted into the existing commercial roof system, leaving the affected section with new roofing while avoiding the need to replace the entire roof.
This targeted approach can be useful where deterioration is limited to part of a commercial roof rather than the full structure.
The result
The deteriorated roofing sections were replaced with new metal roof sheets. The finished photos show a clean, consistent new roof surface across the replaced area.
This gave the commercial property a renewed roof section while retaining the existing parts of the roof that did not require replacement.
What this Burwood commercial job shows
Commercial roofs do not always need to be replaced in full. Where deterioration is concentrated in one area, a partial roof replacement may be appropriate depending on the condition of the remaining roof.
The important first step is assessing the extent of the damage so the repair or replacement can be matched to the actual condition of the roof.
Frequently asked questions
Can part of a commercial metal roof be replaced?
Yes. In some cases, only the deteriorated sections need replacement. Whether a partial replacement is suitable depends on the condition of the surrounding roof, the extent of the damage and how the existing roof system is constructed.
When does rusted metal roofing need replacement?
Minor surface deterioration may sometimes be manageable, but heavily corroded or weakened roof sheets can require replacement. A roof plumber should inspect the affected area to determine whether repair or replacement is the better option.
Why does metal roofing rust?
Metal roofing can corrode when protective coatings deteriorate and the metal is repeatedly exposed to moisture. The exact cause can vary depending on the age of the roof, drainage, materials and surrounding conditions.
