Roof restoration Sydney: 10 to 15 more years from a sound roof

Restoration is the right call for one specific roof: structurally sound, but faded, porous or weathered. Done properly it buys 10 to 15 years for a fraction of replacement cost. Done as a paint job over failed bedding, it's money up the downpipe, so we inspect first and tell you straight if your roof is a repair, a restoration or genuinely at end of life.

Our work and reviews

What a proper restoration includes

High-pressure clean, replacement of cracked tiles, ridge capping rebedding where needed and flexible repointing throughout, valley and flashing checks, then primer/sealer and a minimum 3-coat membrane system in your chosen colour.

When restoration is the wrong product

Widespread tile delamination, broken battens, sagging structure, or metal rusted at the laps: coating over these hides problems rather than fixing them. Many older Sydney tile roofs also have no sarking at all, and a restoration is the sensible time to look at retrofitting sarking, quoted separately. In those cases we'll quote the honest alternative, whether that's targeted tile repairs or a Colorbond re-roof, with photos showing why.

Roof restoration Sydney: FAQs

How much does roof restoration cost in Sydney?

Typically $4,000 to $12,000 for a standard Sydney home depending on size, pitch, access and how much rebedding is needed. Fixed written quote after a free inspection.

How long does a roof restoration last?

A properly prepared 3-coat membrane system over sound tiles typically performs 10 to 15 years. Preparation is everything: coatings fail early when applied over dirty or unstable surfaces.

Should I repair or replace my roof?

If the roof is structurally sound and damage is localised, repair is usually the better-value option, and it's what we quote first. Replacement makes sense when damage is widespread or the roof is at end of life. Our inspection report sets out the honest options.

One real job, start to finish

A leak in Lugarno that an earlier patch hadn't fixed. These are the photos from the job: the same kind of report you get with every free inspection.

What we found
Foil tape and sealant someone else had stuck over the roof tiles
Someone else's earlier patch: foil tape and sealant stuck over the tiles. It hid the leak but didn't stop it.
Roofer pointing to cracked cement bedding under the ridge capping
The real cause: the cement bedding under the ridge capping had cracked and gone to sand.
Roof timber battens rotted through by years of leaking
Underneath: roof battens rotted by years of water getting in.
How we fixed it
New waterproof sarking and new timber battens fitted under the tiles
New waterproof sarking and new timber battens across the affected section, before the tiles went back on.
New gutter and fascia fitted along the eave
A new gutter and fascia along the whole eave.

We fixed the cause, replaced the sarking and battens only where they'd failed, and put in a new gutter line. Read the full story of this job
