Perth’s Northern Suburbs

Re-Roofing the Heart of Suburban Perth

Perth’s northern suburbs stretch from the established inner-city neighbourhoods
of Mount Lawley and Inglewood through to the family-friendly streets of Dianella,
Noranda, Morley, and out to Carine, Duncraig, and the northern coastal strip.
This corridor represents some of Perth’s most densely developed residential
areas, with a huge volume of homes built during the 1960s, 70s, and 80s building
booms that are now reaching the point where their original roofs need replacing.

The typical northern suburbs home is a single-storey brick and tile property
on a quarter-acre block. Many still have their original concrete tile roofs,
which after 40 to 60 years are showing cracked and slipping tiles, deteriorating
sarking, and failing ridge capping. These roofs were built to a standard
residential spec, so re-roofing is usually straightforward and can be completed
in as little as three to four days.

Suburbs closer to the coast like Scarborough, Trigg, and Karrinyup also deal
with salt exposure, while further inland areas like Noranda and Dianella are
more sheltered but often have older housing stock with asbestos roofing that
needs safe removal before a new roof can go on.

What We See Most

Common Roof Types We Replace in the Northern Suburbs

Concrete Tile Roofs

By far the most common roof type across Dianella, Noranda, Morley, Carine,
and Duncraig. Perth’s post-war building boom produced thousands of concrete
tile roofs that are now 40 to 60 years old. Common issues include cracked
tiles, broken ridge capping, moss buildup, and sagging battens. Replacing
these with Colorbond is the most popular option, transforming the look and
adding decades of maintenance-free life.

Asbestos Cement Roofs

A significant number of homes built before 1990 in the northern suburbs
still have asbestos cement (fibro) roofing. This is particularly common in
parts of Dianella, Yokine, Nollamara, and older sections of Morley. We are
fully licensed for asbestos removal and handle the entire process, including
safe removal, disposal at approved facilities, and all required council
notifications. You don’t need to organise a separate asbestos contractor.

Older Zincalume and Metal Roofs

Some northern suburbs homes, particularly in Scarborough, Karrinyup,
and parts of Inglewood, have older Zincalume or early Colorbond roofs
from the 1980s and 90s that have faded, corroded, or developed leaks at
the fixings. Replacing these with modern Colorbond sheeting restores
weather protection and significantly improves the home’s street appeal.

What Makes Us Different

Why Northern Suburbs Homeowners Choose Perth Re-Roofing

High-Volume Experience

The northern suburbs are where we do a large share of our work. Standard
brick and tile homes with straightforward roof lines are our bread and
butter. We know the typical build style, the common problems, and the
most efficient way to get your new roof on quickly and correctly.

Owners On-Site, Every Job

Our founders personally oversee every re-roofing project. Whether it’s
a straightforward tile-to-Colorbond swap in Carine or an asbestos removal
in Dianella, you’ll deal with the business owners directly, not a
project manager who’s juggling ten other jobs.

Same-Day Estimates

Using aerial mapping technology, we can provide you with a price guide
on the same day you enquire, before we even visit your property. This
gives you a realistic idea of cost with no obligation and no pressure.

Competitive Pricing for Standard Homes

Many northern suburbs homes have relatively simple, single-storey roof
lines. This means quicker installation, less scaffolding, and lower
overall cost. We pass that efficiency on with competitive, transparent
pricing. No hidden costs, no surprises.

Common Questions

Re-Roofing in the Northern Suburbs

How much does a re-roof cost in the northern suburbs?

Northern suburbs homes tend to have simpler, single-storey roof lines
compared to the western suburbs, which generally means a lower overall
cost. The final price depends on roof size, material choice, and whether
asbestos removal is required. We provide a same-day estimate and a
detailed quote after our site visit so you know exactly what to expect.

My home has an asbestos roof. Can you handle that?

Yes. Asbestos roofs are common in the northern suburbs, particularly
in homes built before 1990 in areas like Dianella, Yokine, and Nollamara.
We hold the required licences for safe asbestos removal and disposal,
and handle all council notifications and compliance on your behalf. You
don’t need to organise a separate asbestos removal contractor.

How long does a typical northern suburbs re-roof take?

Most standard single-storey homes in the northern suburbs can be
re-roofed in three to four working days. Larger homes or those requiring
asbestos removal may take up to five days. We always provide a clear
timeline before work begins.

Will replacing my tile roof with Colorbond add value to my home?

In almost every case, yes. A new Colorbond roof is one of the most
visible improvements you can make to a home. In suburbs like Carine,
Duncraig, and Morley where older tile roofs are the norm, a modern
Colorbond roof stands out immediately and is a strong selling point
if you ever decide to put the property on the market.

Do I need to move out during the re-roof?

No. You can stay in your home during the entire process. We manage the
work zone safely and keep disruption to a minimum. Most of our northern
suburbs clients continue living in their homes throughout the job
without any issues.
