Roof Restoration Cost By State And Region?

New South Wales

New South Wales in particular Sydney may not be as costly as previously conceived. Because wages are higher in Sydney and property values are higher surprisingly, the roof restoration prices are not any higher than the rest of the country.

From what we can assume, the industry has less (per capita) marketing dominant businesses and more “tradie type” businesses. In other words, a higher percentage of the companies in Sydney are run by tradespeople and not by people with a sales or marketing background, thus the business are generally smaller by comparison.

This is not to say that there are not larger professional companies in the Sydney roof restoration market, quite the contrary. But on a per capita basis, there are far less of these types of businesses in Sydney than other capital cities.

In Sydney, you will find that you’ll get quotes that range from $23 to $40 per square metre for a tiled roof, and $17 to $35 for a metal roof.

Victoria

Victoria as an average has higher prices than the rest of the country. The main factor contributing to this may be climate/weather. The simple fact that, as a roofer in Victoria you have less fine days when you can work means that you have to make more money on the days you can. Therefore, it necessitates charging higher prices. 

Prices range from $26 to $44 per square metre, from our research. This is for a concrete or terracotta tiled roof restoration. Metal roofs are less common in Victoria so it was difficult to get an average.

Queensland

Depending on your property location in the state of Queensland will determine the cost of a roof restoration.
The predominant roof type in the outer suburbs of Brisbane, the outer parts of Ipswich and Toowoomba, the Gold Coast & Sunshine Coasts, is concrete tile. Whereas the most common roof type in regional Queensland, and the inner suburbs of Brisbane, Ipswich, and Toowoomba, is metal (Colorbond, Zincalume, or Galvanised Iron).

As a result of the variance in roof types, the price varies too as metal roofs are generally less expensive to restore. This is due to the difference in the work required to restore a metal roof as opposed to a tile roof. Metal roofs  have no need for re-pointing the ridge and hip capping, as you would with a tiled roof.For a concrete or terracotta tiled roof, you’ll find the average will be between $23 and $40 per square metre.
For a metal roof, the average will be between $17 and $35 per square metre.

South Australia

Roof Restoration is an established industry in South Australia. This is due to the fact that two of the largest roof restoration companies in Australia originated in this state both having been founded over 20 years ago.

South Australia seems to be more dominated by established companies, compared to Sydney for example with higher operations in the ‘Tradie’ field. Australian climate also greatly influences prices in South Australia, particularly Adelaide and coastal regions.
The average prices, from our research, are between $29 and $40 per square metre.

Western Australia

Western Australia is a market where we expected to find prices are less compared to the other Australian states, this is commonly due to the great weather.
What we found, though, is pricing consistent with the other states. However, booming infrastructure and industry in terms of mining, housing and business development have assisted in creating a more competitive market in the Western state.
Average Perth prices range from $25 to $43 per square metre for a concrete tile roof.

How Often Should You Maintain Your Roof?

Roof maintenance varies depending on factors including but not limited to climate, surrounding environment and roof type. Some roofs don’t need maintenance for years while others require more frequent maintenance. You won’t know when maintenance is needed until you have inspected your roof.

It’s a good idea to inspect your roof twice a year. We suggest having your roof professionally inspected by a reputable roofing company such as King Group Australia. Our estimators and roofing specialists will be able to spot things you may overlook and a quick repair job can save you money in the long run. If you have an older roof, you will need to have it inspected more regularly. If your roof is new, you may not need to have it inspected for five years unless you think it may have been damaged in a storm.

Factors to consider when providing a roof health check are as follows:

• Signs of mould, algae and grime
• Broken tiles
• Chipped, broken or cracked mortar
• Cracked caulking
• Worn or broken seals (“boots”) around vents and other attachments
• Damaged flashing

Mould and grime make the roof look unsightly. More importantly, if left unchecked, algae and mould can damage your roof. They can allow small plants to take root under shingles and tiles. The plants can lift the shingles or tiles and cause leaks. If your roof isn’t clean, have it cleaned. It will look better and last longer.

How Many Coats Of Paint In A Roof Restoration?

The final touches of a roof restoration are the coats of paints required.

2021 How Much Does a Tile Roof Restoration Cost?

Tiled roofs were the cornerstone of any Australian Home – durable, long-lasting and low maintenance. Whether you live in a coastal area, a rural and rugged region, or within the inner suburbs of Sydney, tiled roofs are compatible for any harsh Australian climate, and withstood the test of time.

A tiled roof can span 50 years, depending on how well maintained. Regular maintenance having minor repairs fixed promptly to avoid long-term damage, should keep your roof structurally sound whilst still achieving the aesthetical appeal.
Durability is one benefit of a tiled roof, however, tiles can become damaged in many ways. Whether it be from heavy rainfall, strong winds or natural ageing, tiled roofs can easily become susceptible to damage or deterioration.

Once your tiled roof becomes damaged, we suggest investigating into repairing it as soon as possible as tiled roofs that are broken, missing pieces or have deteriorated leave exposed areas for water and moisture to infiltrate interiors of a house. When water gets inside the roof you may experience problems with moisture damage, rotting, mould, mildew, and ceiling damage. Therefore, we advise it is best to investigate having the issues resolved as quickly as possible.

HOW MUCH DOES TILE ROOF REPAIR COST?

Tiled Roof repairs and restoration depends on a variety of factors.
Tile roof repair costs will mostly come down to the severity of damage to the tiles/roof itself. Missing, broken, deteriorating tiles and replacement.
The extent of damage will factor in considerably when assessing how much repair and restoration will ultimately cost. If you need many tiles replaced, the cost to retile a roof will be much higher than if you just require minor patch up jobs.

The first thing King Group Australia will do is a full roof health check, assessing the state and damage of the tiled roof. Once the severity of damage has been determined, they will be able to provide an itemised quotation regarding the extent or scope of work required in the restoration process. Some tile repairs may require tile replacements, repointing to hip and ridges, and or full rebedding of ridge caps depending on what has caused the damage, with others, a simple patch-up job will prove to be beneficial.

Commonly roof tile repairs and replacements are caused by cracked tiles, gaps in tiled roofs, leaking, bedding and pointing repairs and replacing tiles that have not been maintained. While every roof is susceptible to damage and ageing, it is essential to regularly clean, inspect and maintain your roofing tiles to avoid preventable tile roof repairs.

COST OF MATERIALS

Another factor influencing the cost of the tile roof restoration is the type of tile roof that needs repairing. In Australia, there are a variety different types of tile roofing materials that are commonly used for domestic and commercial properties. Whether your home or property was constructed with terracotta, slate, concrete influences how much a roof restoration or tile roof repair will cost.

Your roof is considered the most important structural part of the home. It provides shelter from the exterior, aesthetically increases the value of a property and structurally conforms the rest of the dwelling.  For a roof to do as above, regular maintenance and routine roof inspections are a must. Due to harsh external factors and our Australian climate, you may be faced with considering routine maintenance or a full restoration to assist in maintaining and restoring your property’s integrity and value.

A roof restoration is a term used to describe the process involved in restoring a roof to its previous lustre, and glory. The process involved in a roof restoration are the following: pressure cleaning, repairing, repointing, rebedding, applying a sealer and re-painting the roof to restore its previous integrity and aesthetic. All roof types and profiles are guaranteed to benefit form a minor restoration or full roof restoration.

Some of the factors involved with a roof restoration may include:

Renovations or putting the property on the market – restoring your roof will add curb appeal but also increase the value of your property.

Extended the life and quality of the roof itself – a restoration can greatly increase the lifespan and overall condition of the roof.

Issues related to environment or external issues related to climate – a roof restoration can provide peace of mind when affected by build-up of moss, algae, mould, lichen and assist in preventing any health or environmental related issues due to a poorly maintained property.

ARE YOU EXPERIENCING ISSUES DUE TO A POORLY MAINTAINED ROOF? – MAYBE ITS TIME TO CONSIDER A ROOF RESTORATION?

1. Leaks

Tired of buckets and bowls soaking up leaks in the rain? Experiencing downpour on the inside of your property when it rains?
Issues with lighting and electrical due to weather conditions?
Perhaps it is time to consider a roof restoration.
Roof repairs can only do so much without compromising the integrity of the structure. If it feels like there is always a new roof leak damaging your interiors, a roof restoration will help to restore the structure back to a reliable condition.

2. Signs of Age

Due to the harsh Australian climates, an average roof life expectancy is around 25 years, depending on the roof type and profile itsel. If your roof is getting to the end of its lifespan but is still in reasonable condition, a roof restoration may be more suitable rather than a roof replacement.

3. Deterioration

If you find areas of your roof being compromised by age or weather damage, this may warrant a roof restoration. The most common areas include roof valleys, sagging spots, corroded sheets, roof shingles, flashings, guttering and downpipes and roofing tiles. If any of these spots are cracked, worn, broken, fragile, or damaged, a simple roof repair may not be enough – it could be time for a roof restoration.

ROOF RESTORATION COST IN SYDNEY?

The cost of a roof restoration depends on the quality/age of the roof, how damaged the structure may be, the roof type, the roof profile, and general scope of works. Unfortunately, it is not as simple to give a single dollar amount for a roof restoration cost, as every roof is entirely unique and will require different restoration processes.
Some of the factors to consider when deciphering the cost of a roof restoration are as follows:

1. Roof Type

The materials in which the roof was originally built with will influence the roof restoration cost. Some roofing materials are more difficult to maintain, clean, repair and paint, and some come with higher expenses. All whilst ensuring the integrity and original aesthetic of the roof itself.

The work required for different roofing materials will also determine the price of the restoration.
Tiled roof restorations will include replacing missing tiles and realigning existing tiles, as well as repointing hips and ridges, and rebedding any broken ridge caps.
Metal roof restorations will involve sealing and repainting the metal sheets and replacing any metal sheets beyond repair.
Each roof type, materials, the extent of damage or repair greatly influence the overall costing of a roof restoration.
However, at King Group Australia, our foundation has been built on assuring and providing our customer with quality workmanship and an unbeatable price. 

2. Property/Roof Size or Scope

Another factor determining the price will be the scope of the project. Houses that are larger, roofs that include multiple levels, roofs that have been woefully unkempt, materials that require extra work, are all examples of the increased scope of a project. The more complicated work required, the more you can expect to pay for a Sydney roof restoration.

3. Age of Your Roof

The older the roof the more work required to restore its former lustre. Older roofs require more thorough cleaning repairing and painting. If your roof is only a few years old but has just begun to wear, it will only require minor touch-ups. The age of the roof, the house and the structural materials may determine how much the restoration will cost.

4. Location

Another factor that will also play a role in determining the costs of a Sydney roof restoration is the area in which the house is located. Australian weather is notoriously harsh, with some areas of the coastline or rural demographics having an enormous impact on the condition of a roofing system. If a house is based in an area with high winds, increased UV exposure, or is prone to corrosion from the sea, a roof restoration process will become more complex.

5. Metal Roof Restoration

If your metal roof requires a restoration, this process will involve sealing any leaks and replacing any necessary metal sheeting, on top of a thorough clean. Leaks in metal roofs commonly develop in the seams of the sheets or where the roofing meets the flashing or guttering. Once all the necessary repairs are made, depending on the metal materials, the roof will require a specialised metal sealer and paint.

6. Roof Tile Restoration

Tiled roofs are prone to crack with age and wear and can become damaged by high winds or falling branches. If your tiled roof requires a restoration, the process will involve repointing hips and ridges, replacing and re-aligning any damaged individual roofing tiles as well as any rebedding to cracked ridge caps. Once the repairs have been made, an anti-fungal sealer is then applied to prevent the build-up of lichen, moss, and mould.
