At Lee Meehan Roofing (LMR), we pride ourselves on delivering expert roofing solutions tailored to the unique needs of Gold Coast homeowners. In this case study, we share the story of a recent tile to metal roof conversion Gold Coast project—one that highlights not only our technical expertise but also the satisfaction of a valued client who trusted us with their home.
The Client’s Feedback
“We couldn’t be happier with our newly completed roof by the team from Lee Meehan Roofing. Their whole team were amazing and replaced our tiled roof without any issues whatsoever. We cannot speak highly enough of how easy they made the whole process and all their staff. Roofers and admin were absolutely lovely to deal with.”
Hearing words like this is why we do what we do. For us, it’s not just about replacing a roof—it’s about making the entire experience as smooth, professional, and stress-free as possible for every customer.
The Project: From Tile to Metal
Our client’s property featured an older tiled roof that had served its purpose but was starting to show its age. With cracks, leaks, and general wear setting in, the homeowners decided it was time for a long-term solution.
After consultation, they opted for a full tile to metal conversion—a choice that offers durability, energy efficiency, and a modern aesthetic.
Steps in the Process
- Tile Removal
All existing roof tiles were carefully removed. Instead of leaving them onsite, we organised trucks to transport the tiles off-site immediately—keeping the property clean and ensuring there was no need for bulky bins. - New Roof Battens
With the tiles gone, we installed new roof battens, along with tie downs and batten screws, to provide a strong and stable framework for the new roof. - Anticon Insulation Blanket
As part of our standard service, we fitted a 60mm anticon insulation blanket. This not only improves energy efficiency by keeping the home cooler in summer and warmer in winter, but it also reduces condensation and adds acoustic benefits. - Bluescope Steel Installation
For the new roof covering, we used premium Bluescope steel. Known for its durability, corrosion resistance, and wide range of modern finishes, Bluescope is an ideal choice for coastal conditions on the Gold Coast. - Safety First with Edge Protection
Unlike many other roofing companies, LMR owns its own edge protection equipment through Gold Coast Edge Protection (GCEP). This ensures that every job is carried out with the highest standards of safety, without delays or complications.
A Smooth, One-Week Transformation
Most standard tile to metal conversions are completed within one week, and this project was no exception. Thanks to the efficiency of our team, clear scheduling, and a streamlined process, the client enjoyed a seamless transformation from old tiles to a brand-new metal roof—all with minimal disruption to their daily life.
Why Choose a Tile to Metal Roof Conversion?
This project is a great example of why more Gold Coast homeowners are choosing to upgrade from tiles to metal roofing during roof restoration and roof repairs. The benefits include:
- Durability: Metal roofs last significantly longer than tile roofs, especially in coastal environments.
- Lightweight strength: Unlike tiles, metal roofing is lightweight but incredibly strong, reducing stress on the home’s structure.
- Weather resistance: Bluescope steel is engineered to handle heavy rain, high winds, and harsh UV exposure.
- Energy efficiency: Paired with anticon insulation, metal roofs help regulate indoor temperatures and reduce energy costs.
- Modern appearance: Metal roofing provides a sleek, contemporary finish that instantly refreshes a home’s curb appeal.
