What's included
Our restoration & repointing work
Older Shire tile roofs lose their pointing long before the tiles fail. A roof restoration, which some people call a roof renovation, brings the roof back into sound condition without the cost of replacing it: ridge capping re-bedded and repointed with flexible pointing, broken tiles replaced, and the roof cleaned and treated for moss.
It is most common on the post-war brick and tile homes around Miranda, where we're based, and in neighbouring suburbs like Caringbah and Sylvania. Roofs from the 1950s to 70s most often fail at the pointing and ridge capping, which is exactly what a restoration fixes.
When a roof is past the point where restoration makes sense, we'll say so and quote a roof replacement instead.
- Ridge capping re-bedding and repointing

- Broken tile replacement
- Roof clean and moss treatment

Questions
Restoration & repointing, answered
Mostly, yes. The two terms get used for the same job. For a tile roof, our roof restoration covers re-bedding and repointing the ridge capping with flexible pointing, replacing broken or cracked tiles, and cleaning and treating the roof for moss. We'll walk you through exactly what your roof needs on the free inspection.
If the tiles themselves are sound and the problem is perished pointing, a few broken tiles or loose ridge capping, restoration buys years without a full replacement. If tiles are failing across the roof, replacement is the better spend, and we'll tell you that honestly rather than sell you a restoration that won't last.
Yes. Miranda is where we're based, so it is usually our fastest call-out. Much of the housing there is 1950s to 70s brick and terracotta tile, and roofs of that age most often fail at the pointing and ridge capping, which is the core of a roof restoration.
Cracked or crumbling pointing along the ridge capping, loose ridge caps, broken or slipped tiles, moss or lichen spreading across the tiles, and leaks that only show in heavy, wind-driven rain. On 1950s to 70s Shire tile roofs, perished pointing is usually the first sign.
Yes. On a metal roof, a restoration can mean stripping back degraded sheeting and refinishing it, like the before-and-after on our homepage. Where sheets have rusted through, replacing them or re-sheeting in Colorbond is the better fix, and we'll say which.
Yes. We're based in Miranda and do roof restoration right across the Sutherland Shire, including Caringbah, Sylvania, Gymea, Cronulla, Engadine and Menai, plus the St George area across the Georges River.
No. Quotes are free and there's no obligation. One of our estimators will meet you at the property, get up on the roof to inspect and measure properly, and we'll email you a detailed quote, in most cases within a few hours, with photos and a full report if you need one.
