Tile-to-Tin Conversion for Longwarry Homes
Living in Longwarry means dealing with persistent winter frosts, around 940mm of annual rainfall — and your roof is the first line of defence. Our tile-to-tin conversion service is designed around the mix of corrugated iron, Colorbond steel and concrete tile roofing found locally and the specific weather patterns of Baw Baw Shire.
Roofing Challenges in Longwarry
Local conditions that affect roofs across the baw-baw region
Rusted and perforated corrugated iron on older weatherboard homes
Loose or corroded roof screws on ageing metal roofs
The regular heavy frosts in Longwarry place additional stress on roofing materials, accelerating wear and creating entry points for moisture
Roofing in Longwarry
Longwarry is a small dairy town on the Princes Highway with a housing stock dominated by older weatherboard and fibro homes from the mid-twentieth century, many of which retain their original corrugated iron or early metal roofing. Unlike the rapid growth seen in nearby Warragul and Drouin, Longwarry has developed more gradually, meaning the average age of roofing in the township is considerably older. The town's flat topography and proximity to low-lying farmland contribute to heavy winter frosts that systematically degrade exposed mortar and sealants over time. Longwarry's housing stock includes properties from various eras, and many original roofs are now due for replacement. Upgrading to current-generation roofing materials delivers improved weather resistance, energy efficiency and longevity.
Why Act Now
Every season you wait, the conditions in Longwarry work against you. In this area, freeze-thaw cycles widen cracks and loosen fixings with each passing winter and heavy Gippsland rain will find any weakness in your roof or gutter system. Acting now means a straightforward, well-planned job rather than an emergency repair later. Call Town & Country on 1300 847 413 to arrange a free inspection before the next round of weather takes its toll.

Tile Removal & Disposal
All tiles are carefully removed by hand, loaded into skip bins and taken to an approved disposal or recycling facility.
Frame Preparation
The roof frame is repaired as needed, new battens are installed to suit the Colorbond profile, and reflective sarking is laid.
Colorbond Installation
Colorbond steel sheets are installed with all flashings, ridge capping and penetration waterproofing for a fully watertight system.
Gutters, Downpipes & Clean-Up
New gutters and downpipes are installed to match the new roof, the site is cleaned and a final quality inspection is carried out.
