Step 1. On-Site Roof Inspection
We check every tile, the ridge capping, and valleys to scope exactly what the restoration needs to cover.
Step 2. Tile Sourcing and Quote
Matching or close-match replacement tiles sourced where needed, with a firm written quote before work begins.
Step 3. Council Check Where Relevant
Confirmed against your council overlay only if you're changing tile colour or profile - not required for like-for-like restoration.
Step 4. Tile Replacement and Repointing
Cracked and broken tiles replaced, ridge capping rebedded and repointed to correct fall.
Step 5. Protective Coating Applied
A breathable, UV-resistant coating applied once repointing has cured, restoring colour and weather resistance.

A final walk-through confirming the finished roof meets the scope agreed in your quote.
FAQs
Tile Roof Restoration FAQs
How much does tile roof restoration cost in Adelaide?
Tile roof restoration typically costs $2,500 to $6,000 for an average home, depending on roof size, how much ridge capping needs rebedding, and how many tiles need replacing or sourcing. Terracotta tiles from older, discontinued ranges can add to the cost if matching stock needs to be found. We confirm a firm price after an on-site inspection.
Can you match discontinued terracotta or concrete tiles?
Often, yes. We source matching or close-match tiles for period roofs, and can salvage sound tiles from less visible areas of the roof to patch more visible sections where an exact match isn't available. We'll tell you upfront if a colour or profile match isn't achievable.
Should I restore my tile roof or replace it?
If the tiles themselves are structurally sound and the problem is failed pointing, bedding, or a worn coating, restoration is the more cost-effective option and can add 10-15 years of service life. Replacement becomes necessary when tiles are cracking broadly or the roof structure has sagged. We assess this on-site.
Will restoration change the roof colour or breach heritage rules?
A standard restoration coating is applied in a colour matching or close to your existing roof, so it doesn't require council approval, including in heritage or character overlay areas. If you want a different colour, we check this against your council's overlay first.
How long does tile roof restoration take?
A standard tile roof restoration takes 2 to 4 days for an average home, weather permitting. Roofs needing extensive tile sourcing or replacement before recoating can take longer. We confirm a firm timeframe as part of your written quote.
