When a commercial property in Fairfield began showing widespread rust, active leaks, and significant roof deterioration, the building owner needed a long-term solution that would stabilise corrosion, avoid the major cost and disruption of full roof replacement, and protect the newly completed internal works below.
Although the issues were clear, completing the restoration presented several practical challenges:
Multiple weakened fixings and lifted roof sheets required stabilisation before any coating could be safely applied.
Limited edge access meant live edge rails and elevated platforms were essential for safe navigation across the roof.
Deliver a neat, consistent Monument colour across the roof
Box gutters were deteriorated and actively leaking, requiring sealing and reinforcement prior to installing the Noxyde system.
These conditions required a structured approach to preparation so the final membrane would bond correctly and deliver long-term protection.
Melbourne Protective Coatings was engaged to deliver a full commercial system restoration.Â
As experts in commercial roof painting, our team recommended a complete Noxyde System commercial roof restoration. It’s a highly durable anti-corrosion membrane designed to waterproof and strengthen failing metal roofing.Â
It provides commercial building owners long-term protection and a significantly more cost-effective alternative to full roof replacement.
Initial cleaning of all roof surfaces using industrial pressure washing
Re-tensioning and fastening loose screws and unstable roof sheets
Applying the first full coat of Noxyde Anti-Corrosion Waterproofing Membrane
Installing specialised waterproofing tape to joints, laps and penetrations where additional reinforcement was required
Applying the second full coat of Noxyde to achieve correct membrane build and long-term performance
Noxyde Anti-Corrosion Waterproofing Membrane® was used for this project.
Noxyde is a high-build elastomeric membrane designed for long-term corrosion resistance, waterproofing, and rust stabilisation on metal roofs.
Its direct-to-rust adhesion, 200% flexibility, and ability to seal small cracks make it ideal for aging commercial roofs where replacement would be costly or disruptive.
The seamless membrane forms a durable protective barrier that stops ongoing corrosion, prevents leaks, and extends the overall service life of the roof.
To complete the restoration safely and efficiently, our team used specialist equipment suited for working on ageing commercial metal roofs. These tools ensured safe access, effective surface preparation, and controlled application of the Noxyde system.
Used for deep cleaning to remove rust flakes, contaminants and grime, ensuring the Noxyde membrane bonds effectively.
Provided consistent, high-build application of the Noxyde waterproofing membrane across large roof surfaces.
Installed along roof edges to create a safe working zone, enabling our team to operate confidently on elevated and uneven areas.
Allowed safe movement across restricted or difficult-to-reach sections of the roof, ensuring full coverage and proper installation of the system.
Noxyde is our highest rated anti corrosion membrane, and the completed works resulted in:
A significantly strengthened and stabilised roof surface
Fully sealed gutters and vulnerable lap joints
Long-term protection against corrosion and water ingress
Extended roof lifespan without the cost of roof replacement
