We get this call at the Truganina warehouse at least twice a week. Someone is ordering corrugated iron sheets for a re-roof, and when we ask what pitch they are working with, the answer is a long pause followed by something like “pretty flat, I reckon” or “steep-ish”. That is not a number you can

Since the new Colorbond colours landed, the question at our Truganina counter has changed. It is no longer just “which colour”, it is “which colour on which profile”.

But in our experience at Singh Roofing Supplies, “affordable” means very different things depending on who is selling it to you. We have seen homeowners in Cranbourne, Dandenong, and right across Melbourne’s outer suburbs spend less upfront and far more within five years
Someone arrives at our Truganina store with a rough sketch, a phone photo of their existing roof, and a colour in mind. They have already been quoted by two other suppliers. Sometimes the prices are lower than ours. But by the time they have asked a few questions, they realise that a lower price on
If you have ever driven across Melbourne with a sheet of polycarbonate that turned out to be the wrong type, the wrong thickness, or simply 200 mm too long for your pergola frame, you will know exactly how frustrating that second trip feels. Polycarbonate sheets in Melbourne are a go-to roofing choice for pergolas, patios,
