Newcomb | HEP Roofing
When Newcomb’s unpredictable weather puts your roof to the test, HEP is the crew neighbors call first. Our certified roofers arrive with the know-how, the safety gear, and the best shingles, metal panels, or flat-roof membranes for the job—whether that job is a quick leak repair or a full tear-off and replacement. We inspect every flashing, vent, and valley, photograph trouble spots for your review, and provide clear, no-pressure quotes so you can make an informed decision. Because we’re local, we understand the coastal winds, salty air, and surprise nor’easters that age Newcomb roofs faster than most; that insight helps us build systems engineered to last longer and perform better.
Homeowners love our transparent timelines, tidy job sites, and lifetime-backed workmanship, but they stay loyal for the little extras: free gutter cleaning with every re-roof, proactive maintenance reminders, and real human voices answering the phone 24/7 when storms roll in. From the first shingle to the final walkthrough, HEP treats your home as carefully as we do our own—raising the standard for roofing in Newcomb, one sturdy rooftop at a time.
What our customers say
FAQs
What roofing services do you provide in Newcomb?
We offer a full spectrum of residential and commercial roofing solutions in Newcomb, including new roof installations, complete roof replacements, re-roofing, leak detection and repair, storm-damage restoration, gutter and downpipe installation, roof ventilation, and scheduled maintenance programs. All work is performed by licensed, insured technicians who follow Victorian Building Authority regulations and Australian Standards.
How much does a roof replacement typically cost in Newcomb?
Costs vary based on roof size, pitch, material, and any structural repairs needed, but most asphalt shingle or Colorbond metal roof replacements in Newcomb fall between $8,000 and $22,000 for an average 3-bedroom home. Tile, slate, or architectural metal systems can cost more. We provide free, written quotes after an on-site inspection so you know the exact price before work begins—no hidden fees.
How long does a typical roof installation or replacement take?
For a standard single-storey home, a complete tear-off and replacement usually takes 2–4 days, depending on weather and the material chosen. Complex roofs, multi-storey properties, or specialty materials may take up to a week. We schedule work to minimise disruption, keep the site clean, and provide daily progress updates so you always know the timeframe.
What roofing materials are best suited for the Newcomb climate?
Newcomb’s coastal environment calls for materials that resist salt air, UV exposure, and high winds. Colorbond steel, high-quality asphalt shingles with algae resistance, and concrete or terracotta tiles are all excellent choices. We also offer standing-seam metal, which provides superior wind uplift resistance, and modern synthetic slate for heritage aesthetics with lower weight. Our consultants can walk you through the pros, cons, lifespan, and warranties of each option.
Do I need permits or council approvals for roofing work in Newcomb?
Small repairs usually don’t require a permit, but full roof replacements, structural changes, or work on heritage-listed properties often do. We handle all necessary Building Permit applications with the City of Greater Geelong, arrange mandatory inspections, and ensure compliance with VBA guidelines, so you don’t have to worry about paperwork or legalities.
How can I maintain my new roof, and how often should it be inspected?
We recommend a professional roof inspection at least once every 12–18 months and after major storms. Routine maintenance includes clearing debris from valleys and gutters, checking flashings and sealants, and trimming overhanging tree branches. A proactive maintenance plan extends roof life, preserves your warranty, and helps you avoid costly emergency repairs.
