Slate Roof Restoration and Repairs in Hunters Hill

Hunters Hill has some of the most architecturally significant homes in Sydney, and many of them still retain their original slate roofs.
Whether it’s a sandstone home from the 1800s or a later Federation-era property, slate roofing plays a central role in maintaining the appearance and value of these homes.

Slate is one of the longest lasting roofing materials available but even the best roofs need maintenance over time.
Cracked tiles, aging mortar and worn flashing can lead to leaks or internal damage if left unchecked.

We specialise in slate roof repair and restoration with more than 30 years of experience of repairing and restoring heritage roofs

If your roof is part of Hunters Hill’s story, we’d be proud to help it last another century.

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

Hunters Hill Slate Roofing FAQs

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

In many cases, yes. Slate is one of the most durable roofing materials ever used and original tiles from the 1800s can still be structurally sound while everything around them has aged. If the roof structure is still intact, we can replace broken tiles with matched reclaimed slate, repoint the ridges, replace worn flashings, and restore the roof to full working order without losing its historic character.

Yes, and they are among the most comprehensive in Sydney. Hunters Hill Council takes heritage conservation seriously, and many properties in the area are subject to strict guidelines around materials, colour, appearance, and method of work. Any roofing repairs or restoration on a heritage-listed property or within a conservation area will need to meet these requirements. We are experienced working within Hunters Hill’s heritage framework and can advise you on what applies before any work begins.

Yes. Visual consistency is especially important on Hunters Hill’s architecturally significant homes, where the roof is often a defining feature of the property. We source reclaimed slate wherever possible to match the colour, texture, and size of the existing tiles, and we use traditional installation techniques to ensure repairs sit correctly and look as though they’ve always been there.

The most common work we carry out includes replacing cracked or slipping tiles, repointing ridge caps where mortar has aged and loosened, replacing worn or failing flashings, and removing moss and debris that has built up over time. On sandstone homes and older Federation properties, we also pay close attention to the junctions between the roof and the masonry, where water ingress is most likely to occur.

The slate itself is usually the last thing to fail. On most older Hunters Hill homes, it’s the underlying battens, sarking, mortar, and fixings that deteriorate first while many of the tiles remain perfectly sound. Signs worth investigating include water stains inside the home, tiles that have slipped or cracked, mortar crumbling from the ridges, or a roof that has been patched repeatedly without resolving the underlying issue. A proper inspection will give you a clear and honest answer.

With particular care. Sandstone homes require an understanding of how the building moves and breathes over time, and roofing details like flashing junctions and valley work need to be handled accordingly. We use traditional methods and materials that are sympathetic to the original construction, and we treat every sandstone property as the significant piece of architecture it is.
