Heavily marketed in Brisbane, genuinely useful on the right roof, and oversold on the wrong one.
No obligation. Takes 30 seconds.
Brisbane Roof Repairs connects Brisbane and greater Brisbane property owners with qualified, connects Brisbane property owners with licensed local roofers for restoration. Tell us the roof type and what you're seeing and we'll match it to a licensed roofer who covers your suburb. Written scope and firm price after an inspection.
High-pressure clean, replacement of broken tiles, re-bedding and repointing of ridge and hip capping, then a primer and two coats of membrane.
The re-bedding and repointing is the part with real structural value. The coating seals porous concrete tiles and makes the roof look new, which matters if you're selling.
Rotten battens. Failed valley irons under the tiles. Structural sag. Rust on an adjacent metal section. A leak whose source hasn't been found.
Restoration is maintenance and presentation, not repair. If you have a leak, fix the leak first — coating over a problem hides it for a season and no longer.
A concrete tile roof fifteen to twenty-five years old, structurally sound, with tired capping and faded tiles. That roof gets real life extension and a large cosmetic improvement for $3,500 to $9,000.
On terracotta the case is weaker — it doesn't fade the same way and many roofers will tell you it doesn't need coating at all. Be suspicious of anyone insisting otherwise.

Where this job typically sits. Access is usually a bigger cost driver than size.
| Job | Indicative price | What moves it |
|---|---|---|
| Roof inspection and written report | $150 – $400 | Often credited against the work. Worth paying for on its own if you're making a claim. |
| Leak trace and repair | $300 – $900 | Finding it is most of the job. A leak rarely enters where it appears inside. |
| Replace broken/slipped tiles | $250 – $650 | Per section. Matching an older terracotta profile can add to it. |
| Ridge capping re-bed and repoint | $1,200 – $3,500 | The most common tile-roof repair. Priced by lineal metre of ridge. |
| Storm and hail damage repair | $800 – $8,000 | Enormous range — depends whether it's a few tiles or a whole elevation. |
| Gutter replacement | $45 – $90 per metre | Licensed drainage work at any value. Includes brackets and fall correction. |
| Downpipe replacement | $150 – $400 each | More where it connects to underground stormwater. |
| Metal roof screw replacement / re-fastening | $800 – $3,000 | Very common on older Queenslanders. Much cheaper than re-roofing. |
| Roof restoration — tile | $3,500 – $9,000 | Clean, re-bed, repoint and coat. Cosmetic plus sealing, not structural. |
| Full re-roof — tile to Colorbond | $15,000 – $35,000 | Depends on size, pitch, access and whether battens need replacing. |
| Skylight or whirlybird install | $400 – $1,200 | Each, fitted and flashed. |
| Emergency tarp / make safe | $300 – $900 | After hours during storm season. Buys time until a proper repair. |
Prices are indicative only. What a roof costs depends on its type, its pitch, access, how much of it is affected and whether the damage runs into the battens or ceiling. You get a firm written price after an inspection.
Leaks, broken tiles, lifted sheeting and the damage you can't see from the ground.
Hail, wind and debris damage — and the insurance paperwork that goes with it.
Tracing a leak to its actual source rather than patching where the stain is.
Terracotta and concrete tile — broken tiles, ridge capping and valley irons.
Corrugated iron and Colorbond — rust, fasteners and lifted sheeting.
Guttering, downpipes and stormwater — and the licensing trap that catches people.
Tell us the suburb and the roof type and we'll get it to the right person.
