Heavily sold in Perth. Genuinely worthwhile on the right roof and a waste of money on the wrong one.

Roofers Perth connects Perth and the Perth metropolitan area property owners with qualified, connects Perth property owners with experienced local roofers for restoration. 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.
Clean, replace broken tiles, re-bed and repoint the ridge capping, then prime and apply two coats of membrane.
The re-bedding and repointing is the part with real structural value — it's the same job as a standalone repoint. The coating seals porous concrete and transforms how the roof looks.
Rotten battens. Perished sarking. Failed valley irons under the tiles. Structural sag. An unfound leak.
Coating over a problem hides it for a season. If you have a leak, find and fix the leak first — then decide about restoration separately.
A concrete tile roof fifteen to twenty-five years old, structurally sound, faded, with tired capping. That roof gets real life extension and a large cosmetic gain for $3,500 to $9,500.
On terracotta, be more sceptical. It doesn't fade and many roofers will tell you it shouldn't be coated at all. If someone is pushing coating on a sound terracotta roof, get another opinion.
Restoration has a genuine presentation payoff, and Perth buyers notice a tired roof. Just be clear with yourself about which part you're buying — the repointing is maintenance, the coating is presentation, and both are legitimate as long as they're priced honestly.

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.
