Why You Should Replace Every Screw at Once

We often encounter clients who ask if they can just fix the ones that are leaking.

After 32 years in the industry, we have seen that a partial approach to metal roof maintenance is often a false economy.

Replacing every screw simultaneously is the only way to ensure a truly watertight and structurally sound home.

Problem with the patchwork approach

Metal roof screws do not fail in isolation. Every fastener on your roof was likely installed on the same day and has been subjected to the same decades of Sydney sun and heavy rain.

If ten percent of your screws are showing signs of deterioration or rust the rest of them are in a similar state of decay.

When getting a full roof re-screwing service you eliminate the cycle of leak and repair.

Avoid multiple service calls and internal ceiling damage by getting a full screw replacement.

Colorbond

Each screw plays a vital role in securing the metal sheets to the timber battens underneath.

When washers perish and screws loosen, the roof’s ability to withstand storm and wind damage is compromised.

Replacing all screws at once ensures that every square metre of your roof has equal holding power.

It also allows us to inspect the condition of the underlying timber across the entire roof, catching batten rot.

Your investment

A typical North Shore home can have thousands of screws. The labour involved in a screw replacement includes setting up safety equipment, accessing high-pitched areas, and meticulous sealing.

When you bundle these tasks into a single project, the cost per screw is significantly lower than calling out a tradesman for individual leaks.

Our service ranges from $1,500 to $2,500 and includes premium materials and the resealing of all flashing points.

This proactive maintenance resets the lifespan of your roof’s fastening system for another 15 to 20 years.

Property value

A roof that is littered with mismatched or rusted screw heads is an immediate red flag for potential buyers.

A full re-screw allows us to match the screw types and colours to your existing Colorbond profile exactly.

We also provide documentation for proof of maintenance.
