The most common honest answer

Roof Restoration

Most tired roofs are not dead roofs. A real restoration starts with the screws, battens and sheet or tile integrity, because a membrane over rust is a $6,000 paint job that fails in two winters. If your roof is sound, this is the smart money.

Scope

What this job includes.

  • On-roof integrity check before anything is quoted
  • Pressure clean and broken tile replacement
  • Ridge capping rebedded and repointed with flexible compound
  • Rust converted and treated on metal roofs, screws replaced
  • Three-coat membrane system in your colour
Our system: If the integrity check says restoration is not honest for your roof, we tell you on the spot and quote the repair or replacement instead. The check costs you nothing.
How we quote it

On the roof first, then a fixed price.

No driveway guesses. We climb the roof, photograph what is failing, and put the scope, the materials and the price in writing before any work starts.

The 7-line quote
  1. 1 The inspection report. Photos from on your roof showing exactly what is failing and what is still sound. Not a guess from the driveway.
  2. 2 The fix, itemised. Materials by name (the Colorbond colour, the membrane brand, the screw class) and labour for the whole job. No "from" pricing.
  3. 3 The edges of the job. What is not included, named up front: gutters, skylights, solar removal and reinstatement. No surprise lines later.
  4. 4 The guarantee. 10-year workmanship in writing, plus the manufacturer warranty on sheets, tiles or membrane registered to you.
If a quote doesn’t show these lines, you can’t compare it, and you don’t know what’s been cut.

The paperwork behind the price.

Public liability to $20M, and a 10-year workmanship warranty, all in writing, all on request.

Roofing work over $5,000 and all roof plumbing must be done by a licensed contractor in NSW, and our licence number is on every quote so you can check it on the Fair Trading register. Public liability cover protects your home and your neighbours if anything goes wrong at height, and the workmanship guarantee means if something we installed fails, we come back and put it right, in writing, for a decade.

The cover, the guarantee, and how to check each one.

Questions, answered

Roof Restoration: common questions.

How do I know I need a restoration and not just a repair?
A repair fixes one fault; a restoration resets the whole surface. If the roof is sound but tired everywhere (faded coating, brittle pointing, a leak here and there), restoration is usually the better spend. The photo report shows you the evidence either way.
How long does a restoration last?
Done on a sound roof with a proper three-coat membrane, 10 to 15 years is realistic, and our workmanship warranty runs 10. Done as a quick spray over rust, two winters. That difference is the whole reason our quote itemises the prep.
Can you restore a metal roof or just tiles?
Both. Metal restorations are rust treatment, fastener replacement and a membrane system; tile restorations add the rebed and repoint. The inspection tells us which your roof needs and the quote names every step.
