Trading name of HK ROOFING AU PTY LTD · Melbourne, VIC
AustralianRoofers Trust Score New
How it's calculated: a transparent, evidence-weighted score — identity & longevity from the public ABN register, reputation from verified Google reviews, and consistency from cross-checking independent platforms. Grades are proportional to the evidence. Where we search the register and can't confirm a business, the identity check scores zero rather than being quietly left out — so a firm we couldn't verify never outranks one we could. Longevity stays unscored in that case, because without a registration date there's nothing to measure.
Our honest take
HK Roofing AU reads like a genuine specialist rather than a general repair crew: 4.9 stars from 107 Google reviews, with customers describing a hundred-year-old roof repaired and sealed 'meticulous down to the tiny details', standing-seam cladding, Colorbond re-roofs and a steady stream of Velux skylight installs across Melbourne's bayside suburbs. What impressed us most is who else vouches for them — a skylight supplier that says it's worked with the crew 'for several years' and a design firm both left detailed, named endorsements. Trade partners staking their own reputation is a stronger signal than another anonymous five-star.
The people side checks out unusually well too. Hans is named ten times across recent reviews — quoting, advising, and running jobs — with Kev on the tools ('Hans and Kev know their stuff' on metal roofing and cladding), Courtney coordinating from the office, and Josh and Bryden leading their own crews. The firm's website says it was founded by 'a couple of passionate Kiwis' with 25+ years of industry experience; that's their own claim, but the review evidence of a well-drilled, multi-crew operation backs the substance of it.
Two honest cautions. First, the paperwork is younger than the brand feels: the exact-name company was registered in December 2025, though a sibling HK Roofing Pty Ltd has operated from the same postcode since 2021 — ask which entity contracts your job. Second, they're not the budget option: one reviewer volunteered their quote 'definitely was not the cheapest' (while praising it as the most comprehensive, with no hidden costs). And for completeness: the two most recent one-star reviews are a day old, generic, and contain no job details — they read more like drive-bys than customer accounts, but watch how the firm responds to them.
Reputation across the web New
The same firm, checked across platforms
⚑ Two company entities behind one brand
The ABR shows HK Roofing AU Pty Ltd registered only in December 2025, alongside an older HK Roofing Pty Ltd active at the same Beaumaris postcode since June 2021 — almost certainly the same operation restructuring, but the website publishes no ABN to settle it. Before signing, confirm which entity issues your quote and warranty, so any workmanship guarantee attaches to the company that actually did the work.

Who you'll actually deal with
Hans and Kev — the 'HK' up front, with a real team behind
Hans is unmistakably the front of the operation — named in ten recent reviews for clear advice, reasonable pricing and seeing jobs through, including by trade partners who deal with him professionally. Kev appears alongside him on the tools ('Hans and Kev know their stuff' on metal roofing and cladding), and the pairing plausibly explains the 'HK' in the name, though the website only says the firm was founded by 'a couple of passionate Kiwis' without naming anyone.
It's more than a two-man band: reviewers also mention Courtney coordinating from reception ('seamless from reception contact, quoting and completed job'), Josh leading his own crew, and Bryden handling downpipe repairs — five named people across independent reviews, which for a trade business is a healthy sign of an actual organised team rather than rotating subcontractors.
What clients say
In their own words
HK Roofing did a fabulous job of both repairing and sealing a hundred year old roof and making it look like new. Really great attention to detail and meticulous down to the tiny details. We now have a safe, water tight and weather proof roof. Very happy with the work.
Hans and the team provided clear advice, a reasonable solution and price to address the water leak. All experiences with the HK Roofing from reception contact , quoting and completed job have been seamless. The team communicate well which is always helpful.
All the team at Hk Roofing were very professional, flexible, courteous and easy to work with. The job went smoothly and the works were carried out according to the set schedule.
Reviewers consistently describe meticulous workmanship on metal roofs, cladding and skylights, clear communication from Hans and the office, and jobs run to schedule — with the only sour notes being two day-old, detail-free one-star ratings.
Best for
- Metal and Colorbond roofing, architectural cladding and Velux skylights — the specialist work this crew is repeatedly and specifically praised for
- Bayside and south-east Melbourne homeowners who want an organised, multi-crew outfit with an office that answers — reception-to-completion communication is a recurring theme
- People who'd rather pay for a comprehensive, no-surprises quote than chase the cheapest number — one reviewer's 'apples and pineapples' comparison says it plainly
Less suited for
- Bargain-hunters — by a happy customer's own account, HK's quotes are not the cheapest, just the most thorough
- Tile restoration work — repointing, rebedding and respray jobs barely feature in the review evidence, which is overwhelmingly metal, cladding and skylights
- Anyone who needs the contracting entity's history to match the brand's — the exact-name company dates from December 2025, so get the entity and warranty details confirmed in writing
Before you commit
Five questions worth asking
- Which company will be on our contract — HK Roofing AU Pty Ltd (registered December 2025) or HK Roofing Pty Ltd (2021) — and what's the ABN for the quote?
- Who holds the registered roof plumbing licence for the metal roofing and cladding work, and can you share the details?
- What workmanship warranty do you offer in writing, and how do the Velux and Colorbond manufacturer warranties sit alongside it?
- Your quotes are reportedly thorough rather than cheap — can you walk us through what's itemised that other quotes typically leave out?
- Who would actually lead the crew on our job — Hans, Kev or Josh — and what start window can you commit to in the quote?
Bottom line
A genuinely specialist metal-roofing and skylight crew with named people, trade-partner endorsements and meticulous reviews — priced accordingly. Confirm which of the two HK entities signs your contract and you're on solid ground.
