Roofing services in Hurstville
Every Hurstville job starts the same way: a free inspection with a photo report, then a fixed written quote with the repair option first.
Roof leak detection and repair
A ceiling stain rarely sits under the real entry point. We trace the water back to the cause, whether that is a cracked tile, failed ridge bedding, a rusted valley or a blocked box gutter, and fix that.
Tile roof and ridge capping repairs
Cracked and slipped terracotta or concrete tiles, ridge and hip capping rebedded and repointed, and valley irons replaced on roofs of any age.

Gutters, box gutters and downpipes
On townhouse and strata roofs the trouble is often the drainage: box gutters, outlets and downpipes that back water up inside. We clear, repair or replace them and check the flashings while we're up there.

Roof restoration
For a sound roof that is tired rather than failing: repairs first, then clean, rebed, repoint and coat. It costs a fraction of a replacement and suits many of Hurstville's older tile roofs.
Metal and Colorbond roofs
Leaking screws, lifted flashings, rusted sheets and full Colorbond re-roofs, done to manufacturer specifications.
Emergency and storm damage
Water coming in after a storm? We make it safe first, 7 days a week, then quote the proper repair with photos you can give your insurer.
What Hurstville roofs deal with
Hurstville packs a century of housing into a small area, and each part of the suburb gives its roofs a different set of problems.
Inter-war homes in the O'Brien's Estate
The O'Brien's Estate is one of Georges River Council's heritage conservation areas: substantial inter-war homes in Californian and late Federation bungalow, Spanish Mission, Tudor Revival and Arts and Crafts styles, most of them under original terracotta. At 80 to 100 years old the tiles go brittle, ridge and hip mortar cracks through and valley irons rust out. Heritage conservation areas have extra council rules for changing a roof's material or look, so we start with like-for-like repairs that keep the original tiles: tile repairs, rebedding and repointing and, where the whole roof is tired, a restoration.
Post-war brick homes
Across the post-war streets, brick homes carry concrete tile and early metal roofs that are now 50 to 70 years old. Ridge capping at the age where the mortar lets go, porous tiles and tired flashings are the usual finds, and these are the roofs where an honest repair versus restoration versus replacement comparison matters most. We price the options side by side, in writing.
Townhouses and strata blocks near the town centre
Hurstville is one of the most densely populated suburbs in the Georges River Council area, and a lot of its roofs sit over townhouses and apartment blocks. Flatter roofs, box gutters and shared downpipes mean one blocked outlet can put water into more than one home. We inspect and photograph strata and townhouse roofs, and the photo report comes in the format owners corporations and strata managers need. See gutter repairs and roof plumbing.
Hurstville Grove and South Hurstville
Down towards Oatley Bay and the Georges River the streets turn leafy, and leaf litter is the main enemy: valleys and gutters fill after a big blow, water backs up under the eaves and it looks like a roof leak. In leafy streets a lot of "roof leaks" turn out to be blocked drainage, which is a cheaper fix, and we will say so when that is what we find.
What a roof repair costs in Hurstville
Most repairs start from $700. Replacing the sarking and battens under a leaking section starts from about $3,000. Restorations and re-roofs are quoted after the inspection because they depend on the roof's size, pitch and condition, and if you are weighing up a replacement, our satellite roof calculator gives you a budget range for your address first. Whatever the job, the quote is fixed and in writing before any work starts, and repairs carry our 10-year workmanship warranty.
