Brief History Of Metal Roofing In Victoria.

Fifty years ago domestic roof construction in Victoria was centered around Concrete, Slate and Terra Cotta roof tile products. In some of our neighbouring states, metal roofing was already a widely accepted and commonly used roofing product.

Around the mid to late 60s, the use of corrugated and deck steel roofing was becoming increasingly more accepted in Victoria due to its pliability and formability (eg. Bullnose Verandah Profile.) - it is now a more commonly used roofing product .

Today with advances in steel production, rolling techniques, paint quality and modern bonding techniques, steel roofing and rainwater products carry with them a 25 Year Guarantee. All these products come in a full range of profiles and a huge range of colours. These features make Colorbond® or Zincalume® metal roofing products an obvious choice when selecting your roofing material.

Longlife Roofing Co.

In 1972 builders quickly realized that as the demand for steel roofing in Victoria was increasing, a shortage of quality roofing tradespeople would exist as little or no indenture or training was being undertaken. Longlife Roofing Co. then sought and employed a number of leading roofing industry professionals, with a solid long term commitment to quality, service, training and indenture of young highly skilled roofing tradesmen. This was the foundation of Longlife Roofing Co. & Longlife Guttering Co.

Today Longlife Roofing Co. is still a Melbourne based, family owned and run business. Our focus and commitment to quality and service combined with our training policy and apprenticeship program has earned us a fine reputation as specialists within the metal roofing, roof replacement and guttering industry.
