When a roof is more than just faded — cracked tiles, crumbling pointing, rust, moss — a repaint alone won't fix it. A full roof restoration repairs the roof properly first, then recoats it, renewing both its condition and its appearance and adding years to its life. Backed by our 5-year workmanship warranty.
There comes a point where a roof needs more than a coat of paint. Melbourne's weather cracks and dislodges tiles, breaks down the mortar pointing that holds ridge caps in place, rusts metal roofs, and lets moss and lichen dig into porous surfaces. At that stage, painting over the top just hides problems that keep getting worse underneath. What the roof actually needs is restoration — repairing it properly, then protecting it with a fresh coating.
A full roof restoration with us covers the whole job. We high-pressure clean the roof, replace broken and cracked tiles, re-bed and re-point ridge caps with fresh flexible pointing, treat any rust on metal roofs and flashings, and clear moss and lichen. Only once the roof is sound do we seal it and apply protective coats. The result is a roof that not only looks new from the street but is genuinely watertight and protected for the next decade and beyond.
With over 15 years restoring roofs across Camberwell, Brighton, Hawthorn, Kew, Glen Iris and surrounding suburbs — as Master Painters VIC & TAS members and Dulux Accredited Painters, fully insured for work at height — we restore roofs to last. Every restoration is backed by a written 5-year workmanship warranty.

A full restoration covers high-pressure cleaning, replacing broken and cracked tiles, re-bedding and re-pointing ridge caps, treating rust on metal roofs and flashings, clearing moss and lichen, then sealing and applying protective coats. It repairs the roof properly and then protects it — unlike a simple repaint, which only recoats.
Roof painting cleans and recoats a roof that's structurally sound but faded. Restoration is for roofs with actual wear — it repairs the tiles, pointing and rust first, then recoats. If your roof just looks tired, painting may be enough; if the pointing is crumbling or tiles are cracked, it needs restoration. We assess and advise honestly.
It depends on the size and pitch of the roof, its condition and how much repair is needed — a roof needing extensive re-pointing and tile replacement costs more than one needing a clean and recoat. We provide a detailed written quote after inspecting the roof. Our roof cost guide explains the main factors.
A properly restored and coated roof typically lasts 10–15 years or more before needing attention again, depending on the roof and Melbourne's weather. Because restoration repairs the underlying problems rather than covering them, it lasts far longer than a repaint over a damaged roof.
We restore roofs across Melbourne's inner east and bayside — Camberwell, Brighton, Hawthorn, Kew, Glen Iris, Malvern, Richmond, South Yarra, Caulfield and Toorak. Call us to confirm availability in your suburb.
