Sydney's trusted roof replacement team

Restore your roof, don't replace it.

Every roof reaches a point where patching and roof repairs stop making sense. Once tiles are cracking across the whole roof, leaks keep returning after each fix, or the structure is sagging under decades of weight, a complete roof replacement is the smarter long-term investment. A new roof in Sydney protects your home, cuts ongoing repair bills and lifts the value and street appeal of the whole property.

Our Sydney roof replacement covers far more than swapping the surface. We strip the old roof, inspect and reinforce the timber structure, then install new battens, sarking, insulation, sheeting or tiles, fresh flashings and guttering, all finished to Australian Standards.

From a full Colorbond roof replacement to replacing a tile roof, steel roof replacement and new roof installation, our licensed roofers handle every job in-house. Call 02 8883 1488 for a drone inspection and an honest, fixed-price quote on your new roof.

A Colorbond roof replacement in Sydney gives you a lightweight, hail-resistant and energy-efficient roof in more than 20 colours. We remove the old roof, install new battens, sarking and insulation, then secure the Colorbond sheeting to manufacturer specification for a sharp, modern finish that lasts for decades.

Replacing a tile roof with Colorbond is one of our most popular jobs. Steel is far lighter than tile, so it suits homes with sagging or ageing structures, handles hail and falling branches better, and ties the whole roof together. We manage the full conversion from tile removal to the finished metal roof.

If you want to keep the traditional look of a tiled home, our tile roof replacement installs new terracotta or concrete tiles over a properly prepared structure. We replace battens and sarking, fit new ridge capping and flashings, then point every cap so your new tile roof is watertight and built to last.

When an old steel or iron roof is badly rusted, our steel roof replacement strips the corroded sheeting and installs a new Colorbond or Zincalume metal roof. Metal is versatile across any pitch, stands up to Sydney storms and salt air, and gives a clean, contemporary look that adds value to the home.

We carry out commercial and industrial roof replacement across Sydney for warehouses, factories, schools and strata buildings.

A complete roof replacement is the ideal time to renew your drainage too. We install new guttering and downpipes alongside your new roof so rainwater is carried cleanly away from the fascia and foundations, protecting your home through Sydney’s heavy summer downpours.

Signs you need a roof replacement

Spot the Warning Signs of Roof Damage in Sydney

Not every tired roof needs replacing, but some clearly do. If you notice any of the signs below, it is worth booking an inspection before minor faults turn into water damage inside your home.

Cracked & broken tiles
Recurring leaks
Sagging roofline
Severe metal rust
Storm & hail damage
Old, ageing roof
Most common

Widespread cracked or broken tiles

A few broken tiles can be repaired, but when cracking, chipping and slipped tiles appear right across the roof, the surface has reached the end of its life. At that point a full tile roof replacement is more cost effective than endless patching.

How we replace it

We assess the whole roof, then replace it with new tiles or a lighter Colorbond roof. Replacing a tile roof with Colorbond also reduces weight on an ageing structure and gives a clean, modern finish.

Our roof replacement process

Roof replacement made simple and transparent

We keep every roof replacement organised, transparent and respectful of your time and your property.

Step 1

Inspection & quote

Call 02 8883 1488 or request a quote online. We fly a drone over every square metre of your roof, help with material and colour choice, then give you a plain-language report and an upfront, fixed-price written quote with no callout fee and no obligation.

Step 2

Strip the old roof

We set up safe access and scaffolding, protect your property, then carefully remove and dispose of the old tiles or metal sheeting. With the surface clear, we inspect the timber structure for rot or movement and complete any repairs before the new roof goes on.

Step 3

Battens, sarking & insulation

We fix new battens into position and lay sarking and insulation across the roof. This layer improves weatherproofing and energy efficiency, keeping your home cooler in summer and helping your new Colorbond or tile roof perform at its best for years to come.

Step 4

Install, finish & clean up

We install the new sheeting or tiles, valleys, flashings, ridge capping, guttering and downpipes, then complete a full inspection against building codes. Finally we clear all debris, walk the finished roof with you and take before and after photos for your records.

My ageing concrete tile roof was leaking rainwater and was in need of some TLC. The boys from Action Roofing did a brilliant job replacing the lead flashing and also the gable end barge boards which had seen better days. The guys lifted all of the ridge capping, cleaned, cemented and pointed. Broken tiles were replaced. The whole roof was cleaned, sealed and painted to finish. The place looks great and more importantly no more leaks.
I’d highly recommend Action Roofing for a professional job.

Action Roofing was recommended by a local carpenter. Michael said I would be really happy with them - and I was. Michael knew one of the owners for many years. All the dealings I had with Paul and Peter (the owners) and subsequently Ben and Kyle, who did the actual roofing repairs, were excellent. There were plenty of photos provided (I asked for them) and Ben explained what they did, and also educated me on what makes a good job and why. More research on my part confirmed that Ben and earlier Paul, were not talking "through their hat". The repairs/maintenance were not cheap but the care Ben and Kyle showed in their work was obvious. I wanted a good job with no shortcuts. Earlier at the time Paul assessed my roof, after questioning, Paul indicated that if I wanted shortcuts, then I would have to get another roofer. Overall, very happy customer.

Peter is one of the rare tradies that is honest and accurate about what needs fixing on a job and hence doesn’t charge an arm and a leg.
We use Peter for all of our roofing jobs and I would’t risk giving a job to anyone else. He is quick to pin point the issue and his pricing is fair. I once had an owners insurance builders return 5 times to a property without fixing the issue. I asked the owner if we could send Peter which I did and the job was completed first go.

We strongly recommend Action Roofing to anyone needing a roof repair, big or small.
We're very pleased with the service and the professionalism we received from Peter and his team and will not hesitate to use their services again in future.
Thanks Peter!

I am the Maintenance manager at a Retirement and aged care village on the Northern Beaches (Allambie Heights) and we have had the pleasure of having Action Roofing do
considerable repairs, alterations and maintenance on our many 1970 era, eves and gutters. The service was excellent, the staff very skilled ,polite efficient and clean and tidy. The Owner Peter Portelli was so very competent in all aspects. Technically the best I've been associated with. He was in high demand especially during weather incidents and even then never failed to turn up for appoints , quotes or actual work to be done. When Peter gave his assurances on a job I knew it would be done to the highest standard.
I cannot but give him references of the highest quality

We had Paul give us a quote on repairing, reseating and cleaning our terracotta roof tiles. He gave us some good advice of where to get some extra tiles too. We also got him to install two whirlybirds due to moisture buildup on our ceilings and so far they seem to be working well. We love the look of our clean tiles. Paul’s quote was very reasonable.
FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions About Roof Replacement

How much does a roof replacement cost in Sydney?

Most roof replacements in Sydney range from around $12,000 to $30,000. The final figure depends on roof size, pitch, access, the material you choose and whether new guttering and insulation are included. Action Roofing provides a drone inspection and a fixed-price written quote, so you know the full cost before any work begins.

Should I replace or restore my roof?

If the surface is worn but the structure is sound, a roof restoration is usually the cheaper option. If your roof is widely failing, leaking after repairs or past its service life, a complete roof replacement is the safer long-term choice. Our drone inspection gives you honest written advice either way.

How long does a roof replacement take in Sydney?

A typical roof replacement takes one to seven days. A straightforward single-storey home is often finished within a few days, while larger or steeper roofs and tile to Colorbond conversions take longer. Sydney weather can also affect the schedule, which we confirm in your written quote.

Is Colorbond or tile better for a roof replacement?

Colorbond steel is lighter, more hail and storm resistant, available in many colours and ideal for homes with sagging or ageing roof structures. Tile suits owners wanting to keep a traditional look. We assess your home and budget, then recommend the right material with no sales pressure.

Do I need council approval for a roof replacement?

Most like for like roof replacements in Sydney are exempt or fall under a Complying Development Certificate, while a change of profile, pitch or material may need approval. We help you understand what your job requires and make sure all work meets the relevant Australian Standards.

Can you replace a tile roof with Colorbond?

Yes. Replacing a tile roof with Colorbond is one of our most popular jobs. We remove the old tiles, check and reinforce the structure, then install new battens, sarking, insulation and Colorbond sheeting. The result is a lighter, stronger and more modern roof.
