Sydney's trusted restoration experts

Restore your roof, don't replace it.

Sydney’s harsh UV, hailstorms, heavy summer rain and salt-laden coastal air slowly wear every roof down. Colour fades, mortar cracks and moss takes hold. But a tired roof rarely means an expensive new one. A professional roof restoration in Sydney can transform a weathered roof for as little as 40 to 60 percent of replacement cost.

Our Sydney roof restoration is far more than a coat of paint. We replace broken tiles, treat rust, rebed and repoint ridge capping, clear and repair guttering, then seal and recoat the whole roof so it looks modern again and stays watertight.

From terracotta and concrete tile to Colorbond, Zincalume and older steel and iron roofs, our licensed roofers handle every type of roof renovation. Call 02 8883 1488 for a drone inspection and an honest, fixed-price quote.

What a full roof restoration includes

Every roof restoration service, step by step

Our roof restoration services

Roof restorations for every Sydney roof type.

Action Roofing offers tailored roof restoration services for homes across Sydney, from terracotta and concrete tile to Colorbond, steel and iron. Every job below is completed by licensed roofers, not subcontracted handymen.

Concrete and terracotta tiles crack, fade and lose their pointing under Sydney sun. Our tile roof restoration replaces broken tiles, rebeds and repoints ridge capping, then applies two coats of Dulux AcraTex for lasting protection. We colour-match replacement tiles wherever possible so the finished roof looks seamless.

Colorbond and Zincalume roofs are tough, yet rust still forms around valleys, screws and cut edges. Our metal roof restoration treats corrosion, replaces damaged panels and recoats sheeting with a system built for harsh UV and salt air, restoring both weather protection and appearance across the whole roof.

Many older Sydney homes still have original steel and iron roofs. Our steel roof restoration and iron roof restoration work renews rusted sheeting, reseals fixings and flashings, and recoats the surface, restoring weatherproofing and the tired appearance without forcing a full and costly roof replacement.

Years of dirt, moss and lichen dull your roof and trap moisture against the surface. Our high-pressure roof cleaning safely strips this buildup away and a sterilising treatment inhibits regrowth, preparing tiles or metal so restoration coatings bond properly and last. Clean drainage also protects against future leaks.

Blocked or sagging gutters undermine even the best roof work. Our Sydney gutter and roof restoration service clears, repairs and replaces guttering and downpipes so rainwater drains away from your fascia and foundations, protecting your home during Sydney’s heavy summer downpours.

Old rigid mortar cracks as tiles expand and contract with heat. We rebed and repoint every ridge cap with flexible pointing compound, sealing gaps and locking tiles firmly in place against Sydney storms. It is one of the most important parts of any tile roof restoration we carry out.
Signs your roof needs restoring

Spot what's happening. We'll show you the fix.

Roofs wear down slowly, and the early warning signs are easy to miss until a leak appears. If you notice any of these, it is time to book a roof restoring service before small faults turn into costly damage.

Faded & chalky coating
Cracked & slipped tiles
Crumbling ridge pointing
Moss, lichen & mould
Rust on metal & iron roofs
Ceiling water stains
Most common

Faded or chalky coating

Sydney's UV index climbs past 11 in summer, stripping colour and protective coating from roofs far faster than cooler climates. Faded, chalky or patchy surfaces are the clearest sign a roof restoration is overdue.

How we restore it

We pressure clean the surface, prime it, then apply two coats of premium Dulux roof membrane. Colour and weather protection are fully restored, and modern Colorbond shades give the roof a clean, contemporary finish.

Seeing this on your roof?

Send us a photo or book a drone inspection. We'll assess the roof, explain what it needs and give you a fixed price before any work starts.

Our roof restoration process

Roof restoration made simple and transparent.

We keep every roof restoration simple, transparent and respectful of your time and property.

Step 1

Drone inspection

Call 02 8883 1488 or request a quote online. We fly a drone over every square metre of your roof and use thermal imaging to assess its true condition, then give you a plain-language report and an upfront, fixed-price written quote. No callout fee and no obligation.

Step 2

Clean & sterilise

We pressure clean the entire roof at settings matched to your roof type, lifting away decades of dirt, moss and lichen, and flush the gutters. A sterilising treatment then kills the spores so biological growth is inhibited and the surface is ready for coating.

Step 3

Repair, rebed & repoint

We replace broken tiles, treat or renew rusted valleys, and rebed ridge capping in fresh mortar. Every cap is then repointed with flexible compound that flexes with Sydney's heat instead of cracking, leaving the roof watertight and structurally sound.

Step 4

Seal, coat & final check

We apply a sealer and two coats of premium Dulux roof membrane, restoring colour and waterproofing. A thorough final inspection confirms full coverage, and we 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.

We had major leaks following a storm on Anzac Day . Repairs were carried out , but further leaks surfaced following these repairs . Contacted Action Roofing for another assessment , where upon Paul came out , to further assess our roof . Being as thorough as he was , and with his reviews read , we decided to trust Paul and his team with our roof problems . Peter delivered necessary parts , Ben and Kyle , were the roofers on site . Their punctuality was unbelievable , worked like trojans from start to finish , for a solid 3 days . The end result was amazing , no photo's unfortunately , as I am unable to climb ladders , to get on my roof , to show proof . I could not recommend Paul and his team , high enough , for the work undergone , with my roof . Thanks greatly to all involved , Phill Robinson .

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.

These guys fixed two of our roofs over two months, They genuinely did a great job hence why we hired them again for the second job. Would definitely work with them again if needed.

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'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 Restoration.

How much does a roof restoration cost in Sydney?

Most roof restorations in Sydney fall between $3,000 and $8,000. The final figure depends on roof size, pitch, the roof material and how much repair work is needed before coating. Action Roofing provides a drone inspection and a fixed-price written quote, so you always know the price before work begins.

What is included in a roof restoration service?

Our roof restoration service includes a drone inspection, high-pressure cleaning, a sterilising treatment, replacement of broken tiles, rust treatment, rebedding and repointing of ridge capping, valley and flashing repairs, two coats of premium Dulux coating, and a full site cleanup. Each roof restoration is tailored to your roof’s condition.

How long does a roof restoration take?

A typical roof restoration takes two to four days. Generally one day covers cleaning, rebedding and repointing, with further days for sealing and the two coats of protective membrane. Roof size, pitch and Sydney weather can all affect the timeline, which we confirm in your written quote.

Should I restore or replace my roof?

If your roof structure is sound and the wear is mostly on the surface, a roof restoration is usually the smarter, cheaper choice. If the roof is widely failing or past its service life, roof replacement may be safer. Our drone inspection gives you honest written advice either way.

Can you restore both tile and metal roofs?

Yes. We carry out tile roof restoration on terracotta and concrete tiles, and metal roof restoration on Colorbond and Zincalume. We also handle steel roof restoration and iron roof restoration on older homes, each with the correct products and techniques. For tiles too far gone, our tile roof repair team can help too.

Do you offer roof restoration near me?

Action Roofing services suburbs right across Sydney, including the Hills District, Hornsby, the North Shore and Western Sydney. Wherever you are in the Sydney metro and searching for roof restoration near me, contact us on 02 8883 1488 and we will confirm we cover your area.

Will a roof restoration improve the look and lifespan of my roof?

Yes. A professional restoration restores faded colour, removes moss and stains and seals the surface, typically extending a sound roof’s life by 10 to 15 years. Most homeowners are surprised at how much a restored roof lifts the appearance and street appeal of the whole property.

Do you offer a warranty on roof restorations?

Yes. All our roof restoration work carries a two-year workmanship warranty on labour. The Dulux coating products we use also carry manufacturer warranties, typically 10 to 15 years depending on the system applied, so your investment is genuinely protected for the long term.
