Accepted Answer

Yes, finding difficult and intermittent leaks is our specialty. With 30+ years of experience, we've developed techniques to trace leaks that only appear in certain conditions—like during heavy rain or when wind blows from a specific direction. We use thermal imaging and water testing methods to pinpoint even the most elusive leaks.

Question 11

How much does a roof restoration cost in Sydney?

Accepted Answer

Roof restoration costs in Sydney typically range from $3,500 to $15,000+ depending on:

• Roof size (per square metre)
• Current condition and repairs needed
• Type of coating system (Dulux Acratex, Monier, etc.)
• Accessibility and pitch of the roof
• Number of roof penetrations (skylights, vents)

RoofingCorp provides free no-obligation quotes with transparent pricing. Our restorations include cleaning, repairs, rebedding, repointing, and premium coating with warranties up to 12 years.

Question 13

How long does a roof restoration last?

Accepted Answer

A quality roof restoration typically lasts 15-20 years when properly done with premium products. RoofingCorp uses only the best coating systems from Dulux and Monier, which come with manufacturer warranties up to 12 years. Factors affecting longevity include the quality of preparation, products used, environmental conditions, and whether regular maintenance is performed.

Question 14

What's the difference between roof restoration and roof replacement?

Accepted Answer

Roof restoration involves cleaning, repairing, and coating your existing roof to extend its life and improve its appearance. It's suitable for roofs in fair to good structural condition.

Roof replacement involves removing the entire roof covering and installing new roofing materials. This is necessary when the roof structure is compromised, tiles are beyond repair, or you want to change from tiles to Colorbond.

Restoration is typically 50-70% cheaper than replacement and can add 15-20 years to your roof's life. Our team will honestly advise which option is best for your situation during your free inspection.

Question 15

How long does a roof restoration take?

Accepted Answer

A typical roof restoration takes 3-5 days depending on:

• Size of the roof
• Amount of repair work needed
• Weather conditions
• Drying time required between coats

We always provide a timeframe estimate before starting work. Weather can affect the schedule as we need dry conditions for cleaning and coating application.

Question 16

Do you offer warranties on roof repairs?

Accepted Answer

Yes, all RoofingCorp repairs come with warranties:

• Leak repairs: 12-month workmanship warranty
• Tile replacements: 5-year warranty
• Re-bedding and re-pointing: 10-year warranty
• Full restorations: Up to 12 years on membrane coating

All warranties are provided in writing upon completion of work.

Question 17

How much does roof painting cost in Sydney?

Accepted Answer

Roof painting in Sydney typically costs $2,500 to $10,000+ depending on:

• Roof size (square metres)
• Current condition and preparation needed
• Type of paint system used
• Roof accessibility and pitch

Heat-reflective roof paints may cost slightly more but can reduce cooling costs by up to 20%. RoofingCorp provides free detailed quotes with itemised pricing so you know exactly what you're paying for.

Question 18

What type of roof paint do you use?

Accepted Answer

RoofingCorp uses only premium roof coatings from trusted Australian manufacturers including:

• Dulux Acratex Roof Membrane System - with heat-reflective technology
• Monier Roofing System - excellent colour retention and durability
• Colorbond approved touch-up paints for metal roofs

All products are specifically designed for Australian conditions and come with manufacturer warranties. We never use cheap imports or inferior products.

Question 19

How long does roof paint last?

Accepted Answer

Quality roof paint typically lasts 10-15 years with proper preparation and application. The longevity depends on:

• Quality of surface preparation (cleaning, repairs)
• Number of coats applied
• Type of roof paint used
• Environmental factors (coastal areas experience faster degradation)
• Roof pitch and drainage

RoofingCorp applies a primer plus two full coats for maximum durability and backs our work with comprehensive warranties.

Question 20

Can you paint any type of roof?

Accepted Answer

We can paint most roof types including:

• Concrete tiles
• Terracotta tiles (with appropriate products)
• Metal/Colorbond roofing
• Corrugated iron
• Decramastic tiles

Some older roof types may require special preparation or may not be suitable for painting. We'll advise you during the free inspection.

Question 21

What colours are available for roof painting?

Accepted Answer

We offer a wide range of colours from the Dulux and Colorbond colour palettes. Popular choices include:

• Monument (charcoal)
• Woodland Grey
• Shale Grey
• Paperbark
• Surfmist
• Manor Red
• Cottage Green

We can also colour-match to existing schemes. Heat-reflective colours in lighter shades can reduce roof temperatures by up to 10°C.

Question 22

Do you offer spray and wait roof cleaning?

Accepted Answer

Yes, RoofingCorp offers spray and wait roof cleaning—a gentle yet effective method that kills moss, lichen, and algae without high-pressure damage. The biodegradable treatment works over several weeks, naturally washing away dead growth with rain. This method is ideal for delicate tile roofs and prevents damage that can occur with aggressive pressure washing. Results are typically visible within 4-6 weeks.

Question 23

Is pressure washing safe for my roof?

Accepted Answer

Pressure washing can be safe when done correctly by professionals. However, excessive pressure can:

• Damage tile surfaces and remove protective coatings
• Force water under tiles causing leaks
• Dislodge bedding and pointing
• Crack brittle or aged tiles

RoofingCorp uses appropriate pressure levels for each roof type (typically 1500-2500 PSI for tiles). For delicate or older roofs, we recommend our spray and wait treatment instead.

Question 24

How often should I have my roof cleaned?

Accepted Answer

We recommend roof cleaning every 2-5 years depending on:

• Your location (shaded areas grow moss faster)
• Surrounding vegetation (trees dropping leaves and debris)
• Proximity to coast (salt spray affects roofs)
• Type of roof material

Regular cleaning prevents moss and lichen from damaging your roof, maintains its appearance, and allows for proper inspection of potential issues. A clean roof also prepares it for painting or restoration.

Question 25

Can roof cleaning damage my garden or plants?

Accepted Answer

We take precautions to protect your garden during cleaning:

• Pre-wet plants before starting
• Use eco-friendly cleaning solutions where possible
• Cover sensitive plants if necessary
• Rinse surrounding areas after cleaning

Our spray and wait treatment is biodegradable and plant-safe once diluted. We always discuss any concerns about your garden before starting work.

Question 26

How much does a new Colorbond roof cost?

Accepted Answer

A new Colorbond roof in Sydney typically costs $15,000 to $40,000+ for an average home, depending on:

• Roof size and complexity
• Profile chosen (Trimdek, Klip-Lok, Custom Orb)
• Whether existing roof needs removal
• Insulation requirements
• Gutter and fascia replacement

RoofingCorp provides detailed quotes breaking down all costs. Colorbond roofs come with BlueScope warranties of 20+ years.

Question 27

What are the benefits of metal roofing?

Accepted Answer

Metal roofing offers numerous advantages:

• Longevity: 50+ year lifespan with minimal maintenance
• Durability: Withstands harsh Australian conditions
• Lightweight: Easier on roof structure than tiles
• Energy efficient: Reflective coatings reduce cooling costs
• Fire resistant: Important in bushfire-prone areas
• Recyclable: 100% recyclable at end of life
• Low maintenance: No cracking, breaking, or moss growth
• Quick installation: Faster than tile roofing

Question 28

Can you convert my tile roof to Colorbond?

Accepted Answer

Yes, converting from tiles to Colorbond is one of our most popular services. The process involves:

• Removing all existing tiles
• Inspecting and repairing roof framing
• Installing new battens (if required)
• Fitting sarking/insulation
• Installing Colorbond sheets
• Fitting new flashings, gutters, and downpipes

This conversion can reduce roof weight by up to 80%, potentially saving your roof structure and reducing cooling costs.

Question 29

How noisy is a metal roof in rain?

Accepted Answer

Modern metal roofs with proper insulation are not significantly noisier than tile roofs. Factors that minimise noise include:

• Quality insulation blanket under roofing
• Ceiling insulation in the roof space
• Roof pitch (steeper is quieter)
• Installation quality

Many clients find the sound of rain on their Colorbond roof pleasant and relaxing. We always recommend and can install appropriate insulation.

Question 30

How much does gutter replacement cost?

Accepted Answer

Gutter replacement in Sydney typically costs $30-$50 per lineal metre installed, depending on:

• Gutter profile (Quad, Half Round, Square Line)
• Material (Colorbond or Zincalume)
• Height and accessibility
• Downpipe requirements

A typical home might cost $1,500-$4,000 for complete gutter replacement. RoofingCorp provides free quotes with no hidden costs.

Question 31

How often should gutters be cleaned?

Accepted Answer

We recommend gutter cleaning:

• At least twice per year (autumn and spring)
• More frequently if you have overhanging trees
• Before storm season begins
• After major storms

Blocked gutters can cause water damage to your roof, fascias, walls, and foundations. Regular cleaning is essential maintenance.

Question 32

Do you install gutter guards?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we install quality gutter guard systems that:

• Prevent leaves and debris entering gutters
• Reduce cleaning frequency
• Stop birds and vermin nesting
• Maintain water flow during heavy rain

We recommend mesh-style guards that allow maximum water flow while blocking debris. Gutter guards typically pay for themselves within a few years through reduced cleaning costs.

Question 33

What causes fascia and soffit damage?

Accepted Answer

Common causes of fascia and soffit damage include:

• Blocked or overflowing gutters
• Roof leaks causing water damage
• Age and weathering
• Poor ventilation causing moisture buildup
• Pest damage (birds, possums)
• Storm damage

We can repair or replace damaged fascias and soffits in Colorbond or timber to match your home.

Question 34

Do you handle asbestos roof removal?

Accepted Answer

Yes, RoofingCorp is licensed for safe asbestos roof removal in Sydney. We handle all aspects including:

• Council permits and notifications
• Safe removal following NSW SafeWork regulations
• Air monitoring during removal
• Proper disposal at licensed facilities
• Replacement with modern Colorbond roofing
• All necessary compliance certificates

Never attempt to remove asbestos yourself—it requires specialised equipment, training, and licensing.

Question 35

How much does asbestos roof removal cost?

Accepted Answer

Asbestos roof removal typically costs $50-$80 per square metre for removal and disposal, plus the cost of new roofing. For an average home, total cost including new Colorbond roof is usually $20,000-$45,000.

Factors affecting cost include:
• Roof size and accessibility
• Type of asbestos sheeting
• Condition (fragile asbestos costs more)
• Disposal fees
• New roofing material chosen

Question 36

How do I know if my roof contains asbestos?

Accepted Answer

Signs your roof may contain asbestos:

• Home built before 1990
• Corrugated cement sheeting (fibro)
• 'Super Six' profile roofing
• Material appears cement-like, not metal

If unsure, DO NOT drill, cut, or disturb the material. We can arrange testing to confirm if asbestos is present. Asbestos is only dangerous when disturbed and fibres become airborne.

Question 37

Do you offer free quotes?

Accepted Answer

Yes, RoofingCorp provides completely free, no-obligation quotes for all roofing services throughout Sydney. We'll inspect your roof, discuss your needs, and provide a detailed written quote with transparent pricing. There are no hidden fees or surprises.
