The basics
What a full roof restoration actually involves
A full roof restoration takes an old, faded or leaking tile roof and brings it back to a watertight, like-new finish, without the cost or mess of a full replacement. For most Melbourne homes with a roof that's structurally sound but past its best, it's the smartest money you can spend on the roof.
Here's exactly what we do on a full restoration:
Pressure clean the whole roof with our Jetblaster 3,500 PSI system to strip off lichen, moss and any old coating
Chemically treat the surface to kill regrowth at the root
Re-bed and re-point every ridge cap with flexible pointing so they stop cracking and letting water in
Repair or replace broken tiles, and sort out valleys and flashings
Prime the roof, then roll on three coats of Globalcoat or Shieldcoat membrane in your chosen colour
The result is a sealed, UV-protected roof that looks brand new and is covered by a 10-year product guarantee and a 7-year workmanship warranty.
Do you need one?
Signs your roof is ready for a restoration
Not sure if it's time? On a free inspection these are the things I look for. If your roof has a few of them, it's likely due:
Cracked or crumbling mortar on the ridge caps
Faded, chalky or patchy colour
Moss, lichen or dark staining across the tiles
The odd leak or water stain on the ceiling after heavy rain
Terracotta tiles that feel powdery or are starting to flake (fretting)
A roof that's 15 years or older and has never been restored
If your roof is badly damaged or well past 20 years, I'll tell you straight when a replacement is the better spend. I'd rather give you honest advice than sell you a restoration you don't need.
Our Process
How we restore your roof, step by step
Step 1)
Step 2Wash & Sterilise
We pressure wash the roof with our own Jetblaster 3,500 PSI system, then chemically treat the surface to kill lichen and bacteria at the root so it does not grow straight back.
)
Step 3Repairs & Re-pointing
We re-bed and re-point every ridge cap with flexible pointing, replace any broken tiles, and sort out valleys and flashings. This is where the leaks actually get fixed.
)
Step 4Primer
We apply the right Evolving Elements primer for your roof type so the colour coat bonds properly and lasts, not just something that looks good for a season.
)
Step 5Colour Membrane
We roll on three coats of Globalcoat or Shieldcoat membrane in your chosen colour, with an optional glaze coat for extra gloss and life.

Step 6Customer Care
You get progression photos the whole way through, a final walk-around, and your written 10-year guarantee. I want you happy long after the job is done.
Restore, repair or replace?
The right option depends on the state of your roof. Here's how the three stack up so you can see where yours fits.
| Roof Repair | Roof Restoration | Roof Replacement | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Best for | One or two specific problems | A tired but structurally sound roof | A roof past its life or badly damaged |
| Typical cost | From a few hundred dollars | $4,000 – $7,500 (average home) | $15,000+ |
| Adds to roof life | Fixes the issue | 12 – 15 years | 20 – 25 years |
| Time on site | Often same day | 4 – 5 days | 1 – 2 weeks |
| Mess & disruption | Minimal | Low | High |
How much does roof restoration cost in Melbourne?
Every roof is different, so I quote each one free after an inspection. As a guide, here is what most Melbourne restorations come to.
| Job | Indicative price | What's included |
|---|---|---|
| Average home (180–220m²) | $4,000 – $7,500 | Full clean, re-bed and re-point, minor repairs, primer and three coats of membrane |
| Smaller / simpler roof | From ~$4,000 | Single-storey, straightforward pitch, tiles in sound condition |
| Large or complex roof | $7,500+ | Two-storey, steep or cut-up roofs, extra repairs or premium colours |
Indicative only. Your exact price depends on roof size, pitch, tile condition and colour. The quote and inspection are always free.
No cut corners
The materials and gear we actually use
A restoration is only as good as what goes on the roof, so I don't cut corners on product:
Membrane coatings: Globalcoat and Shieldcoat, built for Australian sun and rain
Primer and sterilising treatment: Evolving Elements
Flexible pointing: Point Protect and Star Point, so ridge caps flex instead of cracking
Sealants: Pasco
Replacement tiles: genuine Monier and Boral to match your roof
Cleaning: our own Jetblaster 3,500 PSI system with pressure guns tuned for tile
Safety: we bring and set up our own safety rail on every job
I'm a qualified roof tiler and I've completed the Dulux AcraTex Roof Repairs and Renovations course, so the prep and coating are done the way the manufacturers intend.

FAQ
Roof restoration FAQs
How much does a roof restoration cost in Melbourne?
For an average-sized home (around 180 to 220m²) a full restoration usually runs between $4,000 and $7,500. That covers a full 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.
How long does a full roof restoration take?
Most homes take 4 to 5 days. Weather can add a day here and there, since the roof needs to be dry for the coating to go on properly.
How long will a restored roof last?
A proper restoration adds around 12 to 15 years to a tile roof. It is not a quick coat of paint, it is a full system of clean, repair, prime and membrane that is built to hold up to Melbourne weather.
Is a restoration cheaper than replacing the roof?
Yes, usually by a long way. A restoration is a fraction of the cost of a full replacement and gives you a watertight, like-new roof without tearing the old one off. If your roof is genuinely past it, I will tell you straight that a replacement is the better spend.
Do I need to be home during the restoration?
No. My team is trusted to carry out the work without you there. I do recommend being around on the first day so I can walk you through the plan and confirm your colour before we start.
What does the guarantee cover?
You get a 10-year guarantee on product performance, covering film integrity, peeling and cracking, plus a 7-year written workmanship warranty on our own work. The guarantee is not transferable and does not cover natural disaster or third-party damage.
Will a restoration fix my leaking roof?
In most cases, yes. As part of the restoration we re-bed and re-point the ridge caps, replace broken tiles, reseal penetrations and coat the roof, which sorts out the vast majority of leaks. If the cause is structural, I will let you know before we start.
What types of roof do you restore?
Terracotta, concrete and cement tile roofs, plus Colorbond and metal. If you are not sure what you have got, send me a photo or book a free inspection and I will tell you.
