The starting point: a maintained roof
A pristine hipped tile roof on a Queenslander, gutters clear, ridge capping intact. Most Brisbane roofs sit here for years between events. Annual checks keep them here.

Services
What we connect Brisbane property owners with
Six service categories covering tiled and metal roofs, gutters and downpipes, ventilation, and commercial properties across the Brisbane LGA.
Roof Repairs
Most roof problems in Brisbane start small: a slipped tile, a hairline split in a Colorbond sheet, a flashing that has lifted in storm season.
View specialists →Roof Restoration
A Brisbane roof restoration buys you another fifteen to twenty years before replacement: clean, repair, repoint or rebed, prime, then coat.
View specialists →Roof Replacement
A full re-roof in Brisbane is a fifteen to sixty thousand dollar decision.
View specialists →Gutters & Downpipes
Brisbane gutters cop a beating: leaf litter from jacarandas and gums, pounding summer downpours, and salt off the bay.
View specialists →Roof Ventilation & Skylights
A Brisbane roof can sit twenty degrees hotter than the air outside in February.
View specialists →Commercial Roofing
Commercial roofing is a different trade to residential: tilt-up panels, kliplok decks, low-pitch industrial sheds, body corporate roof plans, and compliance documentation that property managers actually need.
View specialists →Before and after
What a Brisbane storm-damaged roof looks like, then properly restored.
Drag the handle to compare. Same Queenslander, same week. The repair was scoped, quoted in writing, and finished in three days by a QBCC-licensed specialist.
Before After QBCC-licensed only
Every roofer we connect you with holds a current QBCC Roof and Wall Cladding or builder licence. Verified at the start of every quarter.
Quotes you can compare
We ask specialists to break costs out by line item, so you can see what you are paying for and what is being skipped, not a single lump sum.
Brisbane LGA only
We do not pass leads to interstate call centres or operators outside Brisbane. The trade who quotes you is the trade who turns up.
Anatomy of a Brisbane roof
Eight parts of your roof, eight ways it can fail.
Most quotes name the symptom (a leak, a sag, a stain) without naming the part. Here is the cross-section your specialist should be talking about, and which trade licence covers each piece.
Most common causes of roof damage in Brisbane
Brisbane weather writes the brief. We just hand you the right specialist.
A typical Brisbane summer brings two to three significant storm events. The damage that lands on your roof almost always traces back to one of these three triggers, and each one needs a different trade response.
Built for Brisbane storm season
Hail, salt, and heritage rules: your roof faces all three.
The November 2025 supercell dropped 11 to 14 cm hail across Ferny Hills, Manly and the Redlands and triggered more than 11,000 insurance claims in a week. Brisbane roofs live a different life to roofs anywhere else in the country, and the right specialist for your suburb is not the same as the right specialist three suburbs over.
Salt corrosion belt
Wynnum, Manly, Cleveland, Wellington Point. Colorbond fixings and gutter brackets corrode 2 to 3 times faster than inland suburbs. Marine-grade fasteners, sealed valleys, and 6-monthly gutter checks are the standard, not the upgrade.
Hail and supercell zone
Ferny Hills, Albany Creek, The Gap, Kenmore. The highest-frequency severe-hail corridor in South-East Queensland. Tile replacement runs and Colorbond dent repair dominate post-storm. Insurance reports must be photographic, not verbal.
Heritage overlay zones
Paddington, Red Hill, Ascot, New Farm. Roof colour, profile, and ridge detail are constrained by Brisbane City Council overlay. A roofer who has never lodged a heritage compliance check will cost you weeks of rework.
Licensing in Queensland is split
Your job needs a roofer and a roof plumber. We confirm both.
In Queensland, tiles, sarking, and structural roofing fall under a QBCC Roof Tiling or Roof and Wall Cladding licence. Gutters, downpipes, valley flashings, and rainwater connections are roof plumbing work, regulated separately. A specialist who only holds one of those licences is technically not allowed to quote the other half of your job.
We verify both licences at the start of every quarter, plus QBCC Home Warranty Insurance for any contract over $3,300, and the 6 year 6 month structural defect coverage that goes with it.
- Construction licence QBCC Roof and Wall CladdingVerified Q2 2026
Covers tile work, Colorbond, ridge capping and sarking. Without this licence, structural roofing work over $3,300 is unlawful in Queensland.
- Plumbing licence QBCC Roof PlumbingVerified Q2 2026
Covers gutters, downpipes, valleys and flashings. A roofer cannot legally quote this scope without it. We confirm both licences for split jobs.
- Statutory insurance QBCC Home WarrantyMandatory > $3,300
Issued before any work starts on a residential contract over $3,300. Covers structural defects for 6 years 6 months. Unique to Queensland.
- Site insurance Public liability & workers compCertificates on file
Current certificates of currency are sighted, not just claimed. Minimum $20M public liability. WorkCover Queensland active for every site worker.
- Where relevant Asbestos Class BWHSQ regulated
Required for any fibro or pre-1987 cement-sheet roofing removal. We do not allow non-licensed removal at the 10 m² DIY threshold either.
Restoration, repair, or replacement
Three different jobs. The right one is rarely the most expensive one.
Roofers who lead with replacement when restoration would do it are either uninformed or upselling. Here is the short version of how a Brisbane property usually maps to a service, before any quote is written.
Roof repair
Cracked or slipped tiles, lifted flashings, leaks tracked to a known point. Common after hail or a tradesperson stepping in the wrong place. Fix what is broken without disturbing the rest.
- Tile and ridge cap replacement
- Flashing and valley repair
- Re-bedding and re-pointing
Roof restoration
Roof is structurally sound but tired: faded coating, brittle pointing, minor tile damage. Pressure clean, repair, re-point, then re-coat. Adds 10 to 15 years before a full reroof becomes the right call.
- High pressure clean and repair
- Flexible pointing replacement
- Two coat membrane recoating
Roof replacement
Tiles cracking across the field, fibro or pre-1987 asbestos sheet, structural batten failure, or repeat insurance claims. Strip back to battens (or further), upgrade sarking, and reroof in tile or Colorbond.
- Full strip and disposal
- Asbestos handling where required
- New sarking, battens, gutters
