When restoration makes sense
Restoration suits tile roofs where the tiles themselves are sound and the problems are on the surface.
- Moss, lichen and staining
- Cracked or crumbling ridge pointing
- A handful of broken or slipped tiles
- Faded tiles you'd like to recolour
When replacement makes sense
Replacement is the better option when the roof covering itself is failing.
- Rusted-through metal sheets
- Many porous, cracked or brittle tiles
- Repeated leaks after previous repairs
- A restoration quote that's close to the cost of a new roof
Tile to Colorbond
Swapping tiles for Colorbond sheet roofing takes weight off the house, ends the cycle of rebedding and repointing, and lets you match the roof to your new gutters and fascia. It's a bigger job, and some jobs need a building permit, so it's worth getting proper advice first.
Not sure? Start with a roof report
A roof report gives you photos and a plain-English assessment of the roof and gutters, so you can decide between repairs, restoration and replacement before you get quotes. Every gutter job we do also includes a free roof condition report.
