Roof Painting & Restoration in Perth
A tired roof ages a house more than any other surface. We re-bed loose ridge caps, re-point with flexible pointing, replace broken tiles, then apply a primer and two coats of heat-reflective roof membrane.
What’s included
- High-pressure clean and moss removal
- Broken tile replacement and ridge re-bedding
- Flexible re-pointing to all ridge and hip lines
- Sealer/primer coat to porous tiles
- Two coats of heat-reflective membrane
- Gutter clean-out on completion
Questions
Roof Painting & Restoration in Perth — common questions
- Is roof painting actually worth it, or is it just cosmetic?
- On concrete tiles it is genuinely worth it. The coloured slurry on the tile surface erodes over twenty to thirty years, leaving porous concrete that absorbs water, grows lichen and sheds grit into the gutters. Recoating restores a sealed surface and extends the tile's life. On terracotta it is cosmetic only — terracotta is fired ceramic and does not degrade the same way.
- How much does roof restoration cost in Perth?
- It depends far more on the repairs than the coating. A straightforward concrete tile roof needing a clean, re-pointing of the ridge caps and two coats sits in the mid four to low five figures. Broken tiles, corroded valleys and failed flashings are quoted separately, because they are the part that varies most between roofs.
- Will roof painting fix a leak?
- No. A coating is not waterproofing. Leaks come from cracked tiles, failed ridge pointing, corroded valleys and perished flashings, and those need repair before any coating goes on. Any quote that offers a coating as a leak fix is selling you the next problem.
- Do you re-bed and re-point the ridge caps?
- Yes, where the existing pointing has failed, and it is listed separately on the quote. Old sand-cement pointing cracks and falls out, which is both a leak path and a wind-uplift risk. It is the most commonly omitted item in a cheap roof restoration and the one with real structural consequence.
- How long does a restored roof last?
- A properly restored concrete tile roof should run ten to fifteen years before it needs recoating, and the tiles themselves last considerably longer for having been sealed. A roof coated over lichen, without priming and without pointing repair, can look tired within three.

Is roof painting worth it, or is it just cosmetic?
Roof coating is sold hard and delivered unevenly. Where it genuinely extends the life of a roof, where it only changes the colour, and the claims to ignore.
