Re-Roofing and Roof Replacement: The Same Job
Re-roofing and roof replacement describe the same work: stripping your old roof and installing a completely new one, rather than patching or restoring what is there. It takes a little longer than a repair, but it resets the clock on your roof for decades.
That is all we do. We do not do roof restorations, roof painting or patch repairs. Every job is a full replacement, which means our team has seen every complication an older Perth home can throw up, from Federation bungalows to 1970s tile roofs.
Signs Your Roof Needs Replacing, Not Repairing
Persistent Leaks
If the same area has been patched more than once, or new leaks keep appearing, the sarking and battens are likely past their service life.
Cracked or Slipping Tiles
Widespread tile damage, brittle pointing or sagging sections usually mean the roof has reached the end of its useful life.
Asbestos Sheeting
Many Perth homes built before the late 1980s still have asbestos cement roofs. These need professional removal and replacement, not repair.
Rusted or Corroded Metal
Older Zincalume or galvanised roofs with widespread rust, especially around fixings and overlaps, are usually beyond economical repair.
Sagging Roofline
Dips or waves in the roofline point to batten or rafter problems that a repair will not fix.
Repair Bills Stacking Up
If you are paying for patch repairs every couple of years, that money is better invested in a new roof that lasts.
The Three Types of Re-Roof We Do
Almost every Perth re-roof we complete finishes in Colorbond steel, the pre-painted BlueScope sheeting most people mean when they say a metal, tin or steel roof.
Tile to Colorbond
Our most common job. Lighter on the structure, better in Perth storms, lower maintenance than tile and pointing, and suits solar and rainwater tanks.
Asbestos to Colorbond
Removal is carried out by licensed asbestos removalists with lawful disposal, then we install the new roof. We coordinate the whole job. More on asbestos roofs.
Tin to Tin
Replacing an old or corroded metal roof with new Colorbond sheeting, with battens and flashings brought up to current standards and an Anticon blanket underneath.
What’s Involved in a Full Roof Replacement
- Online estimateRequest a quote and we measure your roof using aerial imagery to give you a rough estimate, usually within a few days.
- Site inspection and written quoteWe inspect the roof, structure and access, walk you through the options and give you a fixed-price written quote on the day.
- Permits and materialsWe lodge the building permit where required and order your Colorbond in your choice of profile and colour.
- Strip and disposeThe old roof is removed and disposed of lawfully, with your home kept weatherproof overnight.
- Battens and Anticon blanket Battens are checked and replaced where needed, and an Anticon roofing blanket is laid under the new roof for heat, condensation and rain-noise control.
- New roof, gutters and flashingsThe new roof is laid, flashed and fixed to manufacturer specification, with gutters and downpipes replaced where specified.
- Clean-up and walkthroughWe clean the site daily and walk through the finished roof with you before we leave.
Most residential re-roofs take two to five days on site, depending on size, access and weather.
Why a Registered Builder Matters
In WA, residential building work over $20,000 must be carried out by a registered builder. Most full re-roofs exceed that. Perth Re-Roofing Pty Ltd holds a WA Builders Registration (BC106884), so we can legally manage your entire re-roof from permit to completion, with home indemnity insurance provided.
How Much Does a Roof Replacement Cost?
Price depends on roof size and pitch, the existing material (asbestos adds removal and disposal), access, and whether gutters and fascia are included. Our Perth roof replacement cost guide breaks down typical prices, or request a free quote for your home.

Roof Replacement FAQs
Is re-roofing the same as a roof replacement?
Yes. Both mean removing the old roof and installing a completely new one. It is different from a roof restoration, which cleans, repairs and paints the existing roof.
How long does a re-roof take?
Most homes take two to five days on site. We only work in dry conditions, so winter timelines can shift, and we keep you updated if weather affects your schedule.
Do I need to move out during the work?
In most cases, no. We work section by section and make sure your home is weatherproof every night.
Do you do roof repairs or restorations?
No. We only do full roof replacements, which is why we know them inside out.
Can you replace an asbestos roof?
Yes. Removal is carried out by licensed asbestos removalists with lawful disposal, and we coordinate the entire job and install your new Colorbond roof.
