What affects the price
- Severity and extent of the damage - a single cracked tile is a very different job to a sagging section.
- Roof height, pitch, and access - steeper or higher roofs need more safety equipment and time.
- Roof material - tile, metal (Colorbond), and tin roofs are repaired differently and cost differently.
- Number of separate problem areas being addressed in the one visit.
- Whether scaffolding is required for safe access.
Frequently asked questions
Why is there such a big gap between minor and major roof repair cost?
A minor repair (a cracked tile, a small flashing leak) is a quick, single-point fix, while a major repair can involve replacing a whole section of roof, addressing structural damage, or chasing a leak that's travelled through the roof space - genuinely more time, materials, and complexity.
Does insurance cover roof repairs after a storm?
It depends on your policy and the cause of the damage - storm damage is often covered, while general wear and tear usually isn't. Check with your insurer before booking, and keep photos of the damage either way.
How urgently should I get a roof leak looked at?
Sooner rather than later - a small leak left unaddressed can lead to ceiling damage, mould, or a much bigger repair bill. If water is actively coming through, treat it as urgent.
