Roof Restoration Melbourne
Clean, repair and restore your tiled roof.
We restore Melbourne cement and terracotta roofs with pressure cleaning, broken-tile replacement and ridge repairs. Suitable concrete tiles can also receive a new colour coating. Terracotta restoration focuses on cleaning and repairs while retaining the tiles’ natural finish.

When to call
When to consider roof restoration
Tell us what you have noticed. We can assess the cause and explain the next step.
Faded cement tiles
Oxidised, porous or patchy roof surfaces that have lost their finish.
Moss and lichen
Heavy organic growth holding moisture and making the roof look tired.
Cracked pointing
Deteriorated ridge work across hips, gables and ridge caps.
Multiple small faults
A roof with enough age-related issues that one-off repairs are poor value.
Roofer's explanation
Concrete or terracotta: what changes?
The tile material and condition determine the work. We explain which repairs are needed and whether a coating is appropriate before quoting.
Cement or concrete tiles
Concrete tiles, also called cement tiles, can often be restored with cleaning, repairs and a compatible roof coating when the tiles remain serviceable.
- Inspect and replace damaged tiles
- Pressure clean and prepare the surface
- Rebed failed ridge sections where required
- Apply flexible pointing
- Apply compatible primer or sealer and colour coats
Terracotta tiles
Terracotta restoration usually retains the natural tile finish. Our Kew project shows roof and gutter cleaning, broken-tile replacement and ridge repointing without colour coating.
- Check tile condition and replacement availability
- Remove moss, lichen and surface build-up
- Replace broken tiles
- Rebed where needed and repoint ridge and hip lines
- Assess any proposed surface treatment separately

Roof restoration FAQs
Roof restoration questions
Find answers about the work, pricing factors and next steps.
Call 0433 944 303How long does roof restoration take?
Timing depends on roof size, access, repairs and drying time between stages. We provide an estimated programme with the quote and confirm the start date when scheduling. Rain, strong wind and unsuitable coating temperatures can delay work.
What affects the price and warranty?
Roof size and pitch, access, tile replacement, ridge repairs and the coating system affect the price. Your quote records the work, materials and applicable workmanship and product warranty terms. Existing defects and work outside the quote need separate assessment.
What is included in a roof restoration?
A typical cement tile restoration includes inspection, tile replacement, pressure cleaning, rebedding where required, flexible repointing, primer or sealer and two colour coats. Terracotta treatments differ, so the final scope follows the roof material and condition.
Is restoration always better than replacement?
No. Restoration is appropriate only when the underlying roof remains serviceable. If the roof is beyond a sensible restoration, the inspection should make that clear.
How do I compare roof restoration quotes?
Compare the roof areas covered, tile repairs, bedding and pointing work, preparation and coating stages in each quote. Check the specified materials, exclusions and what each product and workmanship warranty covers. A colour change alone is not the same scope as a restoration.
Does every ridge cap need to be rebedded?
Not automatically. Sound bedding may remain in place where repointing is appropriate. Loose ridge caps or failed bedding need repair before pointing. The inspection and written scope should identify which sections need rebedding.
Can I choose a new roof colour?
Yes, where a compatible colour coating is included. We can discuss colour options that suit the roof material and your home’s exterior.
Shortlist combinations in our roof colour studio, then confirm the coating system and physical colour sample with our team.
