Roof Tile Repairs Melbourne

You might need repairs if you notice water leaks, cracked or slipping tiles, moss growth, or signs of wear around valleys and ridge caps. If damage is widespread or the roof hasn’t been maintained in decades, a full tile roof restoration may be more cost-effective. We can inspect and advise honestly based on your roof’s condition.

Roof tiles are cherished in Melbourne for their timeless beauty, often featured in the city’s inner-city heritage buildings, where they complement the traditional architectural styles with elegance and historical charm.

Many people seek to replicate this specific look with their homes!

Yes. If the issue is isolated, we can replace individual tiles without redoing the whole roof. We’ll match the style and material—whether it’s concrete, terracotta or slate—and check nearby tiles to ensure no hidden cracks or movement.

A tile roof restoration includes replacing broken tiles, repointing ridge caps, cleaning, sealing, and often repainting. For a full breakdown, see our Tile Roof Restoration Melbourne service page.

Minor tile repairs start from $400–$1,200. Moderate repairs range between $2,500–$5,000, and major repairs start around $6,300, especially when structural issues or rare tiles are involved. Prices vary based on damage extent, roof access, and tile availability. See our article on Terracotta Tile Repair Costs for more detail.

Look for water marks on ceilings or walls, sagging plaster, dripping in the roof cavity, or tiles visibly out of place. Outside, check gutters for broken tile pieces, and look for obvious tile movement, moss build-up, or signs of storm damage.

Yes. We regularly work with discontinued and rare tiles and can often source exact matches or near-identical alternatives—especially for older terracotta or concrete tiled roofs.

Concrete tiles are durable but generally wear faster than slate, which can last over 100 years. Terracotta tiles sit in between. Proper maintenance and timely repairs can extend the lifespan of any tile type significantly.

We offer same-day quotes and can often complete urgent tile roof leak repairs within 24–72 hours, depending on weather and job scope. For major storm damage, we prioritise based on risk and property exposure.

Insurance may cover tile roof damage caused by sudden events like storms or fallen trees. General wear and tear usually isn’t covered. We can assist with reporting and documentation to support your claim.

Delaying repairs can cause water to soak into your roof cavity, damaging insulation, ceilings, and internal walls. Over time, this leads to mould, electrical risks, and much higher repair costs. Addressing cracked or broken tiles early is always more cost-effective.
