Why Kealba roofs are worth restoring, not replacing
A lot of Kealba's original concrete tile roofs are now well into their fifth decade, and it shows in cracked and slipped tiles, ridge capping mortar that's crumbled away, and a factory coating that's chalked off in the sun. Restoration deals with all three together: we replace damaged tiles, remove and re-bed the ridge capping in flexible pointing, then apply a membrane coating system that reseals the roof and gives it a fresh, even colour. For homes with an otherwise sound roof structure, this is a far more practical way to extend the roof's working life than a full replacement.
With so many original 1970s and 80s concrete tile roofs still in service across Kealba, plenty are now at the point where cracked tiles, tired ridge pointing and a chalked-out coating genuinely need addressing together.

The process
How a True Roof restoration works
2
Clean & strip
A controlled wash removes moss, lichen and the chalked-off old coating so the new system bonds to a sound surface.
3
Repair & re-point
Broken tiles are replaced, then the ridge caps are re-bedded and re-pointed with a flexible pointing compound that moves with the roof instead of cracking.
4
Prime & seal
A penetrating primer stabilises porous tiles, followed by protective membrane coats that reseal the surface and restore the colour.
5
Final clean & sign-off
We clear the gutters of wash debris, do a final inspection, and leave the property tidy with your warranty paperwork.
Roof types in Kealba
Terracotta tiles are usually structurally sound and take a clear or coloured glaze after re-pointing, while concrete tiles lose their factory colour coat and take a full membrane colour system. We confirm the right approach for your roof at the inspection — we do not restore roofs that genuinely need replacing.
Our standard
Every restoration is backed by a 7-Year Workmanship Guarantee and a 10-Year Dulux Acratex Material Warranty, and our team is fully licensed and insured.

Here's the part most people don't realise.
Even a brand new roof still fades. Your house still moves. Maintenance will come around again in roughly the same timeframe regardless, often 8–12 years later. A replacement doesn't buy you out of that cycle, it just costs a lot more to enter it. A good contractor doing a full replacement will do great work, but you could easily spend $40,000–$50,000 and still be booking a re-coat a decade later. Restoration gets you the same outcome for a fraction of the price. Same look, same protection, same warranties. The numbers just make more sense.

What Melbourne homeowners say
Kealba roof restoration — your questions
Usually not, provided the underlying tiles are still structurally sound, which is common even on roofs from the 1970s and 80s. Restoration replaces the damaged tiles and reseals the surface, extending the roof's working life considerably.
A typical Kealba home takes a few days from the initial clean through tile replacement, ridge re-bedding and the final coating. Roofs needing more extensive tile or ridge repair can take a little longer.
We can match the existing tone or choose a different colour as part of the restoration, whichever suits the home. We'll go through the options during the quote so the result is exactly what you want.
