Do You Need Repairs, Restoration or a Full Roof Replacement?
Not every roofing issue means you need a full replacement. Some roof problems can still be fixed with targeted roofing repair or a proper restoration. But when a roof reaches the end of its life, the quick fixes stop working and a full roof replacement becomes the most cost-effective option.
You may need a roof replacement instead of repairs if you’re seeing:

Leaking roof spreading to multiple rooms
Especially if this isn’t the first time it’s happened, a sign of ongoing structural issues.

Broken tiles, ridge cap failures
Tiles slipping after strong winds or general deterioration leaving your roof vulnerable.

Water damage inside your home
From roof leaks causing ceiling stains, structural damage, and potential health hazards.

Old roofing materials
Tiles that can no longer be repaired due to age and deterioration, patches won’t hold.

Previous roof restoration failing again
Indicating the roof has reached the end of its serviceable life, with a full replacement needed.

Roof too aged for restoration
Full replacement is the only viable option to restore structural integrity and protection.

Honest Advice on Repairs vs Replacement
Not every roofing problem requires full replacement. We’ll always be honest about whether repairs will give you good value, or whether replacement is the smarter long-term investment.
We help you decide by considering:
- Current roof age and remaining service life
- Extent and location of damage or wear
- Cost of repairs vs replacement over 10-15 years
- Your plans for the property (selling, renovating, staying long-term)
- Structural issues that affect safety or warranty
- Energy efficiency and comfort improvements
Our goal is to give you the right solution for your situation, not the most expensive one. If repairs will serve you well, we’ll tell you straight.
Types of Roof Replacement We Offer

Tile Roof Replacement
Terracotta tiles and concrete tiles look fantastic, but age, cracking and erosion eventually stop repairs from working. A fresh tile replacement restores weather performance, lifts aesthetic appeal, and gives your home a long-lasting new roof with a clean, modern finish

Slate Roof Replacement
A premium choice for character homes. We replace ageing or delaminating slate with modern slate systems that improve durability, energy efficiency and property value.

Heritage & Complex Roof Replacement
Heritage overlays, steep pitches, chimneys and older roof structures require specialists. We restore structural integrity while maintaining original design features.

Concrete Roof Replacement
Ageing concrete tiles can crack, erode and let water in. We strip back the old roof, upgrade sarking and install new concrete tiles to restore weather protection and give your home a clean, consistent finish.
Our Roof Replacement Process
Roof replacement can feel overwhelming if you have never done it before. We make the entire process clear and predictable.

Roof Inspection & Honest Advice
We assess your entire roof, roofing materials, structural issues and roofing needs. You receive a detailed quote explaining exactly what needs to be done.

Material & Design Selection
Choose from terracotta tiles, concrete tiles or slate. We help you match style, performance and budget.

Set-Up & Removal of Old Roof
We install scaffolding, protect your property and carefully remove the old roof, including damaged battens or roof plumbing.

Installation of Your New Roof
From underlay to ridge caps, every detail is installed to Australian standards. Our roof replacement services focus on longevity, water performance and structural integrity.

Clean-Up, Quality Checks & Warranty
You get a clean site, final photos, and warranty documentation. Job done, properly.

Roof Replacement FAQ
Not usually. Roof cleaning is helpful for roof restoration or maintenance, but for a roof replacement we remove the entire roof, so cleaning isn’t required.
If you’re unsure whether you need cleaning, restoration or a full replacement, we can assess the roofing issue on site and give clear advice.
Most Melbourne roof replacements take 3–7 days, depending on roof size, pitch, materials and structural repairs required. We give you a clear timeframe before work begins so you know exactly what to expect.
Yes.
Many clients choose to add gutter replacement or gutter repair while the roof is being replaced. It’s often more cost-effective to combine these jobs into one project.
We document everything with photos and explain it before continuing. No surprise charges — you’ll get a clear update so you can approve any additional repair work needed for structural integrity.
Most standard roof replacements do not require council permits. However, homes in heritage overlay areas may need approval for material selection. We guide you through this process if needed.
Absolutely. We work with a wide range of roofing materials and roof types, so we can match existing colour, profile and finish to keep the home looking consistent.
Yes.
Solar panels must be taken off before we remove the old roof. We coordinate with your solar installer or organise removal and reinstallation for you.
For Melbourne homes, a modern, high-quality roof replacement significantly improves appearance, reduces future maintenance costs, and increases long-term property value, especially with terracotta tiles and slate.
We monitor the weather closely. If conditions are unsafe or would risk water damage, we delay and secure the roof properly. Safety and quality come first.
