Melbourne tiled roof specialists
We are roof tilers, and we have been working on Melbourne’s tiled roofs since the 1930s — when Camberwell Potteries made the terracotta tiles rather than laying them.
Today we re-roof, restore, repair and maintain tiled roofs across all of Melbourne, from our base in Burwood. Terracotta and concrete only. No metal, no slate, no decramastic. That focus is deliberate: a tiled roof behaves differently to a sheet roof, and the difference between a job that lasts and one that does not is usually in the detail of the pointing, the valleys and the flashings.
Almost everyone who calls us is asking the same question — does this need repairing, restoring or replacing? That is not something you can judge from the ground.
So we inspect first. We get up there, look properly, show you what we found, and then quote. We work on new homes and re-roofs for residential, commercial, government and community projects, including turrets and steep-pitch roofs that other roofers turn down.

OUR APPROACH
Inspection first, then an honest answer
We are an accredited CSR and Monier roofing specialist and a dual supplier of both Monier and Bristile tiles, so the tile suits your roof rather than whichever brand we happen to stock. Our own workmanship is guaranteed for 10 years on a full re-roof and 7 years on a restoration.
What we will always do
Get on the roof before quoting, photograph anything unexpected, and talk to you before doing extra work. You will not get a variation you have not heard about.
What we will not do
Quote a replacement when a repair will do, or claim a warranty that is not ours to give. If your roof has years left in it, we will say so.
WHAT WE DO
Our tiled roofing services
New roofing
Tiled roofs on new homes, extensions and additions, in terracotta or concrete. We work with builders as well as homeowners, and we are a dual supplier of Monier and Bristile so the tile can be chosen to suit the design. See new roofing.
Some advantages of getting a new roof Melbourne from our roofing specialists are:
- Boosts the value of your place
- Easier and more efficient living
- Improves the appearance
- Provides better ventilation and Air Quality
- Safe and secure to withstand unaddressed problems
Re roofing
Stripping the roof back to the timbers, replacing the sarking and battens, and laying a new tiled roof. The option that resets the clock, and the right one when the system underneath has reached the end of its life. See re-roofing.
We value the customers and provide quality services to maintain the roof for a longer duration. With 60 years of experience in the industry, we deliver personalized experiences by analysing the top for any fixations. Benefits of considering roofing restoration are:
- Better and strong support
- Brings back life
- Quick and affordable solution
- Better insulation
Roof maintenance
Not every roofing problem needs a whole new roof. Scheduled maintenance keeps the pointing sound, catches valley and flashing problems early, and is a condition of your tile warranty — neglect is grounds for a claim being refused. See roof maintenance or roof repairs.
Work Process
If this type of damage is discovered during an inspection, our experienced craftsmen will cut off the decaying section and replace it with fresh material to extend the life of the structure.
We understand that your home is one of your most valuable possessions. As a result, only the most skilled hands are permitted to operate on it. We are a roof repair company with a proven track record of excellent craftsmanship and customer service.
Tiled Roof Restoration
Cleaning, repointing, sealing and recoating a roof that is structurally sound but tired across the whole surface, with the gutters cleared as part of the job. Our workmanship on a restoration is guaranteed for 7 years. See roof restoration.
What a restoration covers
- Ridge and hip pointing
- Valleys
- Flashings
- Sarking
- Battens
- Tiles
- Gutters and downpipes
- Roof space ventilation
- Sub-roof drainage

Asked Questions
Many of our customers have specific questions about our professional roofing services. Here are just a few of the frequently asked questions we hear Frequently. You may have more Questions for that Contact us for details
-
Q. Are roof tiles suitable in colder areas?
Yes, concrete and terracotta roof tiles are impervious to frost and ice and are therefore ideal for those living in colder climates. Made from durable materials, they will never warp, no matter how cold it gets.
-
Q. Do roof tiles offer thermal insulation?
Yes. Concrete and terracotta are poor conductors of heat and cold. As a result, roof tiles provide improved insulation when compared to some other roofing materials. The colour of your roof will also affect its relevant thermal insulation performance.
-
Q. Can terracotta tiles be painted?
The painting of terracotta tiles is not recommended; however, unglazed terracotta tiles can be painted but once painted, they will require ongoing recoating.
