Slate Roof Restoration and Repairs in Balmain
Balmain’s streets tell Sydney’s story in slate. From the grand workers’ cottages lining the hills to Victorian terraces facing the water, slate roofs have long been part of what gives this historic suburb its charm.
Many of these slate roofs were first laid with Welsh slate brought in by ship during the 1800s. Our story started in the same place, deep in that quarry region of Wales.
We learned the trade the old way, side by side with master slaters restoring homes that had already stood a hundred years. Three decades later, we bring that same skill and care to every job we take on in Balmain and surrounding areas.
We work with premium slate, Welsh, Canadian and Spanish slate, both new and reclaimed.
Your roof can stay durable, weatherproof, and historically true.
Whether it’s a small fix, a detailed reroofing, or a council-approved heritage restoration, we treat every slate roof with respect and precision.
If your roof is part of Balmain’s story, we’d be proud to help it last another century.

Why Choose Us
Balmain Slate Roofing and Repair Experts
Tight terraces, steep pitches, limited access, Balmain roofs don’t always make it easy. But we’ve worked on rooftops like these across Sydney, and we know how to do it right without taking shortcuts.
You’ll deal directly with us. Not a sales team, not subcontractors. From the quote to the final tile, it’s our crew on the roof, doing the work the right way and watching every detail.
We always aim to preserve the character of each roof. Where we can, we reuse reclaimed slate to maintain its aged texture and tone. This keeps the roof visually consistent, especially on older homes where uniformity would look out of place.
Whether your slate roof needs attention after a storm, a long-overdue refresh, or full restoration to heritage standards, we’ve got the experience to make your roof right again.

About Balmain, NSW
Balmain is a suburb in the Inner West of Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. Balmain is located 2 km (1.2 mi) west of the Sydney central business district, in the local government area of the Inner West Council. It is located on the Balmain peninsula surrounded by Port Jackson, adjacent to the suburbs of Rozelle to the south-west, Birchgrove to the north-west, and Balmain East to the east. Iron Cove sits on the western side of the peninsula, with White Bay on the south-east side and Mort Bay on the north-east side. Traditionally blue collar, Balmain was where the industrial roots of the trade unionist movement began. It has become established in Australian working-class culture and history, due to being the place where the Australian Labor Party formed in 1891 and its social history and status is of high cultural significance to both Sydney and New South Wales. Today, the ALP contends with the Australian Greens for political prominence in Balmain, and Kobi Shetty of the Greens holds the State seat of Balmain. == History == Prior to European settlement, the area was inhabited by indigenous Aboriginal Australian, Gadigal and Wangal people. Stories from early settlers in the area tell of how the local indigenous people used to hunt kangaroo by driving them through the bushy peninsula, down the hill to Peacock Point at the east end, where they were killed. The area now known as Balmain was part of a 550-acre (2.2 km2) grant to colonial surgeon William Balmain (1762–1803) made in 1800 by Governor John Hunter.

RanchRide @ RMV
Slate Roof Restorations did an amazing job repairing our old heritage slate roof. Their attention to detail and commitment to quality is unmatched. If you need re-roofs or restorations in Mosman, this is the company to call.
Susan Chisholm
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
Anita van der Meer
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.
Luke Dalton
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!
