What it involves

Why convert

Concrete tile is heavy, and Adelaide's hot, dry summers bake the glaze until it fails. Colorbond is lighter, reflects heat and needs no re-pointing. See Colorbond roofing.

What it costs

A standard single-storey conversion runs $15,000 to $25,000. Larger homes and complex rooflines push toward $45,000. Full numbers in the cost guide.

The process

Strip the old tiles, replace battens where needed, lay new sarking, sheet in Colorbond. Three to seven days for most homes. See the full process.
