Tile Roof Replacement FAQs
Common questions about new tile roofs
How much does a new tile roof cost?
Tile roof replacement costs depend on roof size (typically 150-300m²), tile type (concrete vs terracotta), roof complexity (hips, valleys, pitch), and whether structural work is needed. Terracotta costs more than concrete. We provide detailed fixed-price quotes after inspection—you'll know exactly what you're paying with no hidden costs.
Should I replace tiles or switch to metal roofing?
Both have merits. Tile suits traditional and heritage homes, offers excellent thermal insulation (keeps homes cooler in summer), and lasts 50-75+ years. Metal is lighter (75% less than tiles), lower maintenance, and faster to install. If your home's structure was designed for tiles and you like the look, replacement tiles make sense. We can discuss the pros and cons for your specific situation.
How long does tile roof replacement take?
Most residential tile roof replacements take 5-10 working days depending on size, weather, and complexity. A straightforward 200m² roof might take 5-6 days. Complex roofs with multiple hips, valleys, and penetrations can take up to 10 days. Weather delays are possible—we won't leave your home exposed.
Do you handle asbestos tile/fibro removal?
If your existing roof contains asbestos (common in 1950s-80s fibro cement roofing), we coordinate licensed asbestos removalists to safely remove it before our work begins. This is a legal requirement in Victoria. The cost is quoted separately. We handle the entire coordination so you don't have to.
What warranty comes with new tile roofs?
You receive our 10-year workmanship warranty covering installation defects. Additionally, tile manufacturers provide long-term product warranties: typically 50 years for concrete tiles and 75+ years for terracotta. Combined, you're protected for decades.
Can you match tiles to my existing home style?
Yes. We supply all major tile profiles including MR (Modern Roman), Double Roman, Flat, Marseilles, and Shingle. Colours range from traditional terracotta and slate grey to modern charcoals. For heritage homes, we can source period-appropriate profiles and colours to match the original character.
Do I need council approval for tile roof replacement?
Like-for-like tile replacement (same height and footprint) typically doesn't require a building permit. However, if you're changing roof height, adding dormers, or making structural changes, permits may be required. We can advise on your specific situation and assist with permit applications if needed.
What happens to my old tiles?
We responsibly dispose of all old tiles. If your tiles are in reasonable condition and a common profile, we may be able to salvage some for use as spares for future repairs. Broken tiles go to recycling facilities where possible. We leave your property clean and tidy.
