Slate Roof Being Repaired

Your Roof, Restored to Greatness

When a Full Reroof Is the Right Call

Sometimes a repair isn’t enough. When the battens are failing, the underlay has deteriorated, or more than half the slates on a roof are damaged, a full reroof is the sound long term decision rather than a series of repeated repairs. Done properly, reroofing gives a home a roof that can last another century, and choosing the right material means it looks better while doing it.

We specialise in reroofing heritage and established homes across Sydney using natural slate and traditional roofing materials, and every reroof is carried out by our own team from the first inspection through to the final check.

When Does a Roof Actually Need Replacing?

A reroof becomes the right choice when battens are failing, there’s widespread nail sickness, the underlay has failed, more than half the slates are damaged, or there are structural concerns with the roof frame itself. These are the signs we look for during an inspection, and we’ll tell you plainly if your roof still has life left in it through repair or restoration rather than pushing you toward a bigger job than you need.

Built for the Long Run

Materials We Work With

We work with new slate from Welsh Penrhyn, Canadian Glendyne and Spanish Cafersa quarries, terracotta tiles from trusted Australian suppliers, and reclaimed slate to match an existing roof where that’s the better option. Traditional leadwork is used for flashing and finishing details throughout. Every tile and slate is laid by hand, with the same care and patience the original roof would have been built with.

How a Sydney Reroof Works

Every reroof follows the same careful sequence, and we don’t move to the next step until the last one is done properly. We start with a thorough inspection of the slate, timber, underlay, flashings and ridgeline, then walk you through exactly what’s needed and why. From there we help you choose the right material for the home, whether that’s new Welsh or Spanish slate, reclaimed slate matched to the original, or terracotta and shingle where the house calls for it, and we source all of it ourselves.

The existing roof is stripped by hand, with any salvageable slates sorted and set aside for reuse. The timber frame is inspected and repaired wherever it needs it. New sarking and battens go down to give the new roofing a solid, even base to sit on. Then comes installation, with each slate measured, cut where needed and fixed by hand using traditional methods rather than shortcuts. We finish with new flashings, valleys, ridge capping and any lead or metalwork, checking every detail before the job is signed off.

Why Choose Us for a Sydney Reroof

You deal directly with the people who inspect the roof, do the work and stand behind it once it’s finished, not a call centre or a rotating crew of subcontractors. Every reroof comes with a written guarantee and the same level of care we’d want on our own home. With more than 30 years of hands on experience in slate, terracotta and heritage roofing, we understand what a reroof needs to look right and perform for the long term, especially on the Federation and Victorian era homes common across Sydney’s Eastern Suburbs, Lower North Shore, Inner West and Northern Beaches.

Unreservedly recommend, and I'm a hard marker. SRR completely restored our heritage listed house's slate roof in a heritage listed street in Woollahra with a level of professionalism and civility rarely seen these days, not to mention the very competitive costings -- proud owner of the best roof in the street.

It was a pleasure to have the Slate Roof Restorations team re-slate our federation home on Sydney's north shore. Professional, consultative, communicative and perfect clean-up after the job. The roof looks spectacular and our prior issues with water leaks and possums have completely been addressed. Cannot recommend them highly enough.

This was my first time using Slate Roof Restorations, and I can confidently say it won’t be the last! With over 20 years in the building industry, I know a top-quality company when I see one. They were efficient, competitively priced, and left the site spotless. Most importantly, their communication was outstanding—a crucial factor for me and my building company. Highly recommend. Thank you!

We had a few Sydney-based slate companies to repair the slate roof after storm damage, with not a great outcome, including cracked slates remaining and several leaks through, inferior workmanship.. I then called Oliver Stearman at Slate Roof Restorations who was able to fix all problems, including the water leaks and secure the roof, without over- promising and under-delivering, which was a constant with the previous companies. I couldn't recommend Slate Roof Restorations more highly. The quality of their work is outstanding. Their professionalism and dedication to their craft is unmatched

Oliver and his team did an excellent job on our aging and damaged slate roof, and returned multiple times to ensure it was 100% right. I have no hesitation in recommending their services - thank you so much

Re-Roofing FAQs

Have questions about our roofing services or process? Find clear answers to some of the most common inquiries below.

A typical slate reroof takes around four weeks depending on the size of the roof, access and material availability. We’ll give you a realistic timeframe once we’ve inspected the roof and confirmed the material.

Where slate is still sound, yes. We strip the roof by hand and set aside anything salvageable to reuse, which reduces waste and can help match the finished look.

We source new slate from Welsh Penrhyn, Canadian Glendyne and Spanish Cafersa quarries, along with reclaimed slate where matching the original look matters.

Some homeowners move to terracotta tile or timber shingle during a reroof, particularly where heritage requirements allow it. We’ll talk through the options that suit your home and your council’s requirements.
