Colorbond® Roof Installation Process at 1Touch Plumbing
Installing a roof is a big project, so we make sure you know exactly what happens from quote to completion. Here’s what you can expect when working with 1Touch.
Step 1: Initial Consultation and Booking: Call (07) 4751 7600 or fill out our online contact form. We will reach out ASAP and schedule a time to visit your property.
Step 2: Accurate On-Site Measuring and Quote: We will arrive at the agreed time, measure your roof surface and assess your gutters and downpipes. We then walk you through the most suitable Colorbond profiles, colours and steel grades for your home – depending on your style, performance and budget. In 24-48 hours, you’ll receive a fixed-price quote for the work.
Step 3: Old Roof Stripping & Safety Setup: Before we start any structural work, we install the required edge protection and safety railing around your property. Our team then removes and lowers your old, damaged corrugated iron or concrete tiles.
Step 4: Structural Inspection & Roof Preparation: With all the old materials gone, our team inspects your existing roof framing, timber battens, and support structures. We replace sagging, rotten, or compromised battens so your new Colorbond sheets rest on a level, structurally sound base.
Step 5: Cyclonic Roof Installation & Plumbing: We then install the Colorbond sheets with screws designed for Townsville’s severe tropical storms. Our licensed roof plumbers then seal all flashings, ridge cappings, valleys, and high-capacity drainage systems to make the structure watertight.
Step 6: Quality Check and Handover: Finally, we do a quality check and haul away all debris from your property. We then send you the photos, reports, and other documentation required for your council compliance, records, and insurance.
Why Colorbond is a Smart Roofing Choice for Townsville Homes
Typical roofing materials, such as terracotta or concrete tiles, degrade, crack, absorb water, or shift under extreme UV radiation, coastal salt air, and severe cyclonic weather. At 1Touch Plumbing, we use authentic BlueScope Colorbond steel, manufactured to Australian Standard AS 1397. The steel is finished with a coating system built to resist corrosion, so your roof stays sealed and secure through Townsville’s conditions.
Here is why Colorbond steel is the best choice for Townsville homes:
- Cyclonic Weather Resistance: Every sheet has a structural, interlocking design that resists high-velocity cyclonic winds and flying debris.
- Zero Water Absorption: Colorbond is non-porous, so it does not absorb water, staying lightweight and firmly anchored during heavy rain and storms.
- 5-Layer Corrosion Protection: Each sheet has a multi-layer defence that blocks moisture, humidity, and salt air, preventing corrosion.
- Thermatech Solar Reflectance: Colorbond ranges feature Thermatech technology that reflects sunlight away from your roof, helping keep your home cooler.
- Colorbond Ultra for Coastal Homes: For homes near the beach, you can get Colorbond Ultra steel – a special grade that resists salt spray and premature corrosion.
- Low-Maintenance: The final, baked-on layer of Colorbond resists chipping, flaking, blistering, or cracking, so it requires no repainting.
- Self-Cleaning Design: Rainfall does most of the work, washing dirt and debris off as it falls. Only sheltered spots out of the rain’s reach might need an occasional hose-down.
- Cyclonic Weather Resistance: Every sheet has a structural, interlocking design that resists high-velocity cyclonic winds and flying debris.
Frequently Asked Questions About Colorbond Roofing
Standard residential roof replacements take two to five days. This timeline includes installing safety guardrails, removing old corrugated iron or concrete tiles, inspecting timber framing, and laying new Colorbond sheets. Before starting work, we will give you the exact timeline.
Yes. Townsville is within Wind Region C, so all structural roof modifications or replacements must legally comply with cyclonic building codes. That is why we use a cyclonic screw and heavy-gauge steel battens to ensure compliance and long-lasting results.
Yes, you can access the Queensland Household Resilience Programme if you own and live in a home built before 1984 within 50 kilometres of the Townsville coastline. This government initiative provides means-tested grants that cover 80% of eligible cyclone-upgrade works, up to a maximum of $15,000. As QBCC-licensed contractors, we can help you check eligibility and prepare an application.
We supply and install the whole range of classic and matt Colorbond colours to suit your property's architectural style. Depending on drainage requirements and roof pitch, you can go for high-capability profiles like Custom Orb or Trimdek for low pitches or specialised standing-seam designs. We'll help you choose the best option for your roof pitch, drainage system, and budget.
Yes. We size and install all your valley irons, flashings, capping, fascia, gutters and downpipes to ensure the whole system can handle tropical downpours without water backed up in your eaves.
