Careful work on tiled and slate roofs
Tile and slate roofs are part of the character of homes right across Sydney. Whether it is concrete tile, terracotta or slate, the roof needs the right repair method and careful handling around ridges, valleys and flashing.
We work on repairs, maintenance, restoration and replacement for tiled and slate roofs. Matching materials, roof pitch, age and the condition of the supporting roof all affect how the job should be approached.
What we can help with on tile and slate roofs
- Replace broken, slipped or damaged tiles
- Repair ridge capping, bedding and pointing
- Check valleys, flashing and roof junctions
- Carry out local slate and tile repairs where practical
- Plan restoration or replacement when the roof is beyond patching
Matching the repair to the roof you already have
Concrete, terracotta and slate all behave differently. We try to match replacement pieces where practical and use repair methods that suit the existing roof rather than forcing one approach onto every material.
On older roofs we also look for signs of previous patching, tired valleys and flashing, and movement around ridge lines or roof penetrations.
Broken tiles, loose slate or an older roof?
If you have spare matching tiles, let us know. Otherwise we can inspect the roof, identify the damaged areas and talk through what can be repaired and what may need a broader plan.
Where we work
We repair and maintain tiled and slate roofs throughout Sydney, including established suburbs across the Inner West, North Shore, west, Hills and south.
Tile & Slate Roofs FAQs
Can you replace individual broken tiles or slates?
Yes, when the surrounding roof remains serviceable and suitable matching materials can be sourced.
Do slate roofs need specialist care?
Yes. Slate is durable but individual units and fixings should be handled carefully to avoid unnecessary breakage.
Can an old tiled roof be restored?
Often, depending on the condition of the tiles, bedding, pointing, flashings and roof structure.
