Roof restoration services

Most Airport West roofs do not need replacing. A restoration cleans, repairs and re-coats what is already there, and usually costs a fraction of a new roof.

01

Full roof restoration

High-pressure clean, tile repairs, ridge re-bed and re-point, then sealer and a fresh coat of membrane paint.

02

Ridge cap re-bed and re-point

Cracked or loose ridge capping lets water into the roof space. Re-bedding in fresh mortar and flexible pointing fixes it.

03

Roof repainting and sealing

Restore colour and protect tiles from moisture and moss with a quality acrylic coating.

04

Leak detection and repair

Find the source, from cracked tiles to failed ridge bedding, and repair it properly.

05

Tile replacement

Matching cracked, slipped or missing terracotta and cement tiles so the roofline stays intact.

06

Gutter cleaning and roof inspection

Gutters cleared of leaves and debris, plus a condition check of your tiles, bedding and pointing so you know what the roof needs.

Airport West roofs, up close

Airport West was two farms, Spring Park and Niddrie, until subdivision from the mid-1950s. Houses went up through the late 1950s and 1960s for young families, mostly brick homes with tiled roofs.

Roofs of that age commonly need re-pointing along the ridges and hips, replacement of a few cracked tiles, and a fresh coat to seal the surface. Most tiles are still sound, which is what makes restoration worthwhile.

Roof restoration questions

Straight answers to what Airport West homeowners ask most.

Price depends on roof size, pitch, material and how much repair work is needed. Most homeowners compare two or three quotes. Our form gets you those without ringing around.

Most Airport West homes take two to five working days, depending on the weather and how much repair the roof needs. Rain delays painting and sealing, so a roofer may reschedule around a wet week.

If the tiles on your Airport West home are structurally sound, restoring is usually the lower-cost option and extends the life of the roof by many years. A local roofer will tell you when replacement is the better call.

Like-for-like roof restoration in Airport West usually does not need a permit. Heritage overlays can apply to parts of Airport West and can affect tile colour and material, so check with your council before you commit.
