Roofing FAQs for Melbourne Homeowners

A full roof restoration brings a tired tile roof back to a watertight, like-new finish without replacing it. We pressure clean the roof, re-bed and re-point the ridge caps, repair broken tiles, then prime and apply three coats of membrane. It is the smartest option for a roof that is structurally sound but past its best.

For an average home (around 180 to 220m²) a full restoration usually runs between $4,000 and $7,500. That covers the clean, re-bed and re-point, minor repairs, primer and three coats of membrane. Bigger, steeper or more cut-up roofs cost more. Every roof is quoted free after an inspection.

Most homes take 4 to 5 days. Weather can add a day here and there, because the roof needs to be dry for the coating to go on properly.

A proper restoration adds around 12 to 15 years to a tile roof. It is a full system of clean, repair, prime and membrane, built to hold up to Melbourne weather.
