Roofers Perth connects Perth and the Perth metropolitan area property owners with qualified, connects Perth property owners with experienced local roofers for prices. Tell us the tile type and what you're seeing and we'll match it to a roofer who covers your suburb. Written scope and firm price after an inspection.
Ridge capping repointing runs $1,500 to $4,500, but that range is mostly about how much ridge and hip your roof has, not how good the roofer is.
Ask for the rate per lineal metre and the total metres. It's the only way to compare two repointing quotes on the same roof, and a roofer who won't break it down is worth passing on.
Inspection and written report $150 to $350, usually credited. Leak trace and repair $300 to $850. Broken tiles $250 to $600 a section. Valley iron replacement $1,200 to $3,500. Gutter replacement $45 to $95 a metre.
Restoration $3,500 to $9,500 — the widest spread on this list, so get three quotes.
A full re-roof runs $16,000 to $38,000 depending on area, pitch, access and battens.
If any part of the roof predates 1990, asbestos removal is a separate licensed cost from around $4,000 and must be established before anyone quotes the rest.
Access first — two-storey with no side access costs materially more. Then roof complexity, since a modern roofline with many hips has far more ridge to repoint than a simple gable. Then coastal location, where valley irons and fixings corrode faster.
And season. Quote in summer. Ringing in July, when every roofer in the city is chasing leaks, gets you the worst price and the least choice.

Where this job typically sits. Access is usually a bigger cost driver than size.
| Job | Indicative price | What moves it |
|---|---|---|
| Roof inspection and written report | $150 – $350 | Often credited against the work. Worth it on its own before a big job. |
| Ridge capping re-bed and repoint | $1,500 – $4,500 | The most common Perth roof job. Priced by lineal metre of ridge and hip. |
| Leak trace and repair | $300 – $850 | Finding it is most of the job on a tile roof. |
| Replace broken or slipped tiles | $250 – $600 | Per section. Matching discontinued terracotta profiles can add to it. |
| Valley iron replacement | $1,200 – $3,500 | Requires lifting tiles both sides, which is why it costs more than the metal. |
| Gutter replacement | $45 – $95 per metre | Licensed plumbing work in WA. Includes brackets and fall correction. |
| Downpipe replacement | $150 – $400 each | More where it ties into underground stormwater. |
| Roof restoration — tile | $3,500 – $9,500 | Clean, re-bed, repoint and coat. Cosmetic plus sealing, not structural. |
| High-pressure clean only | $500 – $1,200 | Ask what pressure they use — too high strips the glaze off older terracotta. |
| Full re-roof — tile to Colorbond | $16,000 – $38,000 | Depends on area, pitch, access and whether battens need replacing. |
| Asbestos roof removal | from $4,000 | Licensed removal, separate trade. Common on pre-1990 sheds and patios. |
| Emergency make safe / tarping | $300 – $900 | Winter callout during a front. Buys time until a proper repair. |
Prices are indicative only. What a roof costs depends on tile type, pitch, access, how much ridge capping there is and whether the battens or sarking are affected. You get a firm written price after an inspection.
Inspection and written report <strong>$150 to $350</strong>. Leak trace and repair $300 to $850. Broken or slipped tiles $250 to $600. Valley iron replacement $1,200 to $3,500. Re-bed and repoint ridge capping $1,500 to $4,500. Full tile restoration $3,500 to $9,500.
Usually, but only when the tiles themselves are sound. A restoration at $3,500 to $9,500 cleans, repairs, re-beds the ridge capping and coats. If the tiles are brittle or delaminating, or the battens have gone, coating them buys appearance and nothing else.
Almost always the ridge capping. A quote that repoints is cheaper than one that re-beds, and they read almost identically on paper. Re-bedding lifts every cap and re-lays it, which is what actually stops water getting in.
The most common roof repair in Perth, and the one people leave too long.
