Living in Sandringham means appreciating the best of bayside living – the stunning views along Beach Road, the village atmosphere around Station Street, and the privilege of owning property in one of Melbourne’s most desirable coastal suburbs.
At Xclusive Roofing, we understand the challenges that properties in this area can face. The constant salt spray from Port Phillip Bay, combined with intense UV exposure and fierce winter storms, creates a corrosive environment that standard roofing materials simply can’t withstand. That’s why we specialise in coastal roofing designed specifically for these environments.
Whether you want to fully upgrade your roofing in Sandringham or just need some minor repairs, we are the team to trust with your property. Call us on 03 5978 6473 or use our online form to get started with a free quote.
The proximity to Port Phillip Bay creates specific problems that many out-of-area contractors underestimate. We’ve serviced countless properties near the coast, and see the same issues repeatedly:
Premature Corrosion from Salt Air: Those rust spots appearing on your roof aren’t just cosmetic issues. The salt-laden sea breeze that makes this suburb so appealing is incredibly corrosive to standard roofing materials. Metal roofs, gutters, and even screw heads can deteriorate rapidly without proper marine-grade protection.
UV Damage and Fading: The combination of reflected light from the bay and direct sun exposure causes standard roof coatings to break down quickly. Your roof may look chalky, faded, or tired, diminishing your home’s street appeal and potentially affecting its market value.
Storm Vulnerability: When southerly gales blow in from the bay, they test every weakness in your roof. Older tiles can lift, flashings can fail, and minor issues become major. These intense winter storms drive rain into vulnerable points that might remain dry in calmer conditions.
Our approach to roofing in Sandringham starts with understanding the local environment. We don’t use suburban-grade materials that will fail prematurely in coastal conditions. Instead, we provide tailored services for each type of property:
Sometimes, a full restoration may be cheaper than continued repairs. Our roof restorations offer Sandringham locals the chance to revitalise their current roof, rather than fully replace it. Your roof will be cleaned, minor repairs performed, and protective coatings and new colour applied as needed.
For the beautiful Edwardian homes and Californian Bungalows that give this suburb its character, we work within Bayside City Council’s Heritage Overlay requirements. We can source matching terracotta tiles that preserve your home’s architectural integrity while upgrading its weather protection. Our restoration process respects the original design while incorporating modern waterproofing techniques.
For contemporary coastal homes, we exclusively use Colorbond Ultra (the marine-grade version specifically engineered for coastal environments). While standard Colorbond might seem adequate, only the Ultra range provides the improved corrosion resistance needed this close to Port Phillip Bay. We pair this with marine-grade fasteners and proper installation techniques so that decades of protection are achieved.
We can perform repairs whenever you need them, as storm damage doesn’t wait for business hours! When wild weather hits the bay, we’re available for emergency repairs to prevent water damage to your valuable property. Our rapid response team understands that every hour counts when your roof is compromised.

Standard Colorbond steel is designed for typical suburban environments. However, Sandringham’s proximity to Port Phillip Bay creates a marine environment that requires Colorbond Ultra’s improved corrosion resistance. The additional protective layers in Ultra can mean the difference between a roof lasting 10 years or 30 years in coastal conditions.
