Our Specialties

Roof Restoration & Replacement Services

Two honest paths to a roof that lasts โ€” we recommend restoration whenever the tiles allow, and replacement only when they don't.

Roof Restoration

Save & Extend Roof Life

Sound tiles with a worn surface? A restoration strips back the frost-cracked pointing and faded coating and rebuilds the weatherproofing โ€” for a fraction of a re-roof.

Straight Answers

Everything You Need to Know About Your Roof

What is a roof restoration?

It's a full renewal of your existing roof โ€” deep clean, replace broken tiles, re-bed and repoint the ridge caps, then seal and coat the surface. On a structurally sound Canberra roof it rebuilds the weatherproofing and adds 10โ€“15 years for a fraction of the cost of a re-roof.

When does a Canberra roof need replacing instead?

When restoration can't fix the underlying problem: porous or hail-shattered tiles, repeated leaks despite repairs, sagging or failed battens, badly rusted metal, or a roof simply at the end of a 50-year life. We inspect and tell you honestly which way to go.

Why do Canberra roofs deteriorate?

Three local forces: winter frost and freeze-thaw that cracks old ridge pointing, summer hail that shatters brittle tiles, and the leaf litter from Canberra's tree canopy that blocks valleys and gutters. Together they're behind most of the roof problems we see across the city.

How long does the work take?

A restoration is usually a few days, weather permitting. A full replacement runs from a few days to a couple of weeks depending on size and whether you're converting tile to metal. We confirm the timeline in your fixed quote and update you daily on site.

How long does a restoration last?

Our coating system carries a 15-year warranty*, and a properly restored roof typically performs well beyond it โ€” because the re-bedding and flexible repointing underneath are built to handle Canberra's frost cycling, not just the coating on top.

What are the early warning signs?

Ceiling stains, cracked or slipped tiles, crumbling ridge-cap mortar, rust spots on metal, moss on shaded faces, and grit washing into the gutters. Catching these early is the difference between a small repair and a major job โ€” and a free inspection makes it easy.

In November 2025 I had a full roof restoration completed before my solar panels were installed, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. Andrew and the team were caring, professional, and genuinely friendly throughout.

Andrew was so knowledgeable and showed me what was wrong with my roof โ€” which was a lot! He kept me updated every step of the way, and the workers were polite and respectful. I couldn't be happier with the result. It looks fantastic.

After another company took advantage of us, we reached out to Paul and were more than impressed by his knowledge, professionalism and communication. Very sympathetic to our situation, and a very competitive cost. Highly recommend Paul and his team.

Good to Know

Frequently Asked Questions

Should I restore or replace my Canberra roof?

It comes down to the condition of the tiles or sheets. If they're structurally sound and just worn, a restoration renews the weatherproofing for a fraction of a re-roof and adds 10โ€“15 years. If the tiles are porous or hail-shattered, or a metal roof is badly rusted, replacement is the better long-term value. We inspect first and give you an honest verdict โ€” restoration where it stacks up, replacement only when it's genuinely needed.

What does roof work cost in Canberra?

It depends on the roof's size, pitch, access and condition, so there's no single number โ€” but a restoration is consistently a fraction of the cost of a full replacement. Rather than guess, we inspect your roof and give you a fixed written quote up front; the price we quote is the price you pay unless the scope changes.

Why do Canberra roofs crack and leak so often?

Canberra's frost is the main culprit. The freeze-thaw cycle works on old, rigid ridge pointing until it cracks and lets water in, and summer hail does the rest on brittle tiles. Add the leaf litter from Canberra's tree canopy blocking valleys and gutters, and you have the three causes behind most of the leaks we repair.

How long does the work take?

A roof restoration is usually a few days, weather permitting. A full replacement runs from a few days to a couple of weeks depending on size, structure and whether you're converting tile to metal. We confirm the timeframe in your quote and keep you updated on site each day.

Are you licensed and insured?

Yes โ€” we're ACT-licensed roof plumbers (Licence 242220C), fully insured, and our coating system carries a 15-year warranty* (conditions apply, see our terms). We're a local Canberra business based in Giralang, trading as ReACT Roofing.

What roofs and areas do you cover?

We work on concrete tile, terracotta tile, Colorbond and other metal roofs, plus tile-to-metal conversions โ€” restoration, repairs, painting, cleaning, gutters and full replacements. We cover all of Canberra, from Belconnen and Gungahlin to Tuggeranong, Woden, Weston Creek, the Inner North and South, and across to Queanbeyan.
