Call 1300 402 411Laser Lite and polycarbonate sheeting lets natural light through while keeping the weather out — which is why it’s the go-to roofing for pergolas, patios, verandahs and carports. But hail and storms take their toll, cracking and yellowing the sheets over time. Roof Ready installs new poly roofing and repairs or replaces storm-damaged sheeting across Melbourne.
We install fresh, watertight poly roofing and replace hail-damaged sheets so your outdoor space stays dry and looks great.
Pergola and patio roofing in Melbourne
Pergolas, patios and verandahs are what polycarbonate roofing was made for — it keeps the rain off while still letting daylight through, so the space underneath stays usable without going dark. We install new pergola and patio roofs, and we restore existing ones: replacing cracked, yellowed or hail-damaged sheets, re-sealing the flashings where the roof meets the house, and repairing or replacing rusted fixings and framing where they have gone. If the structure is sound we restore rather than replace it, and we will tell you honestly which one yours needs.
Carport roofing and roof replacement
Carport roofs take more weather than most people realise — they are usually the most exposed structure on the property, with no house wall sheltering them. Polycarbonate sheeting on a carport typically goes brittle and starts cracking around the fixings first. We re-sheet carport roofs in polycarbonate or in a Colorbond-and-poly combination where you want shade over the car but light along one edge, and we re-flash the join to the house or garage so it stays watertight.
Polycarbonate roof repairs and hail damage
Hail is the usual culprit. A single storm can crack or shatter a run of sheets, and because polycarbonate goes brittle with age the older the roof, the more of it tends to go at once. We replace damaged sheets and match the profile and tint to the existing roof so a partial repair is not obvious. Where the whole roof has yellowed and gone brittle, replacing the lot is usually better value than patching it twice in two summers — and we can document the damage with photos and a written report if you are lodging an insurance claim.
Laser Lite, polycarbonate and choosing the right sheet
Laser Lite is a brand of polycarbonate sheeting, and it is the one most Melbourne pergolas and patios were built with — so "Laser Lite roofing" and "polycarbonate roofing" usually mean the same job. Sheets come in a range of tints and profiles: clearer sheets for maximum light, heat-reducing and glare-reducing grades for west-facing spaces that cook in summer, and profiles matched to what is already there. We match colour and profile to your existing roof, and all sheeting we install carries UV protection.

Pergola and patio roof restoration is work we do regularly — replacing cracked, yellowed or hail-damaged Laser Lite and polycarbonate sheeting, re-sealing the flashings, and repairing or replacing rusted fixings and framing where needed.
