Your Roof repairs Done right

Slate, Tile, and Timber Shingle Repairs Done Properly

A leaking or damaged roof needs fixing fast, but on a slate, tile or timber shingle roof, the repair method matters just as much as the speed. Use the wrong materials or technique and a small leak can turn into a much bigger problem, sometimes one that undoes decades of a roof’s working life.

Slate Roof Restorations repairs slate, tile and timber shingle roofs across Sydney, working exclusively with traditional roofing materials rather than treating heritage work as a sideline to a Colorbond installation business. We’re based on Sydney’s Northern Beaches and travel across the Eastern Suburbs, Lower North Shore and Inner West for repair work on original and heritage roofs.

Common Roof Repairs We Handle

Slipped, cracked or missing slates are one of the most frequent calls we get. Individual slates crack from thermal movement, slip when their fixings corrode, or break in a storm. We source matching slate so the repair sits flush with the roof around it rather than standing out as a patch.

Leaking valleys and flashings cause more roof failures than almost anything else. On a heritage home these are traditionally formed from lead sheet, a material that can last many decades when it’s dressed correctly by hand and fails quickly when it isn’t. We repair and replace lead flashings using the same hand dressing techniques the original roofers would have used.

Ridge capping and pointing crack and deteriorate over time, letting water into the roof cavity below. We repoint and rebed ridge capping with materials suited to your specific roof type, matching colour and texture where we can.

Storm damage is common in Sydney, and it can dislodge slates, lift flashings and damage valleys in a single afternoon. We respond to storm damage promptly and can work directly with your insurer if that’s part of the claim.

Gutters and downpipes that are blocked, rusted or sagging cause water to back up under the roofing material above them, so we treat gutter and downpipe repair as part of a complete roof repair rather than a separate job.

Why Heritage Roofs Need a Specialist Approach

Many of Sydney’s most distinctive homes sit inside Heritage Conservation Areas, from the Federation homes of Mosman and Hunters Hill to the Victorian terraces of Paddington and Balmain. Council requirements in these areas often set out that repairs need to keep the heritage character of the property intact. That usually means natural slate rather than concrete tile, traditional lead flashings rather than a modern substitute, and pointing that’s colour matched to what’s already there.

A general roofer who mostly works on Colorbond and concrete tile may not be across these requirements, and that can create a compliance headache with council further down the track. We work regularly across Woollahra, Mosman, North Sydney, Inner West, Northern Beaches and the City of Sydney local government areas, and we understand what each one expects from a heritage roof repair.

How We Approach Every Repair

We start with a thorough inspection, looking for the issues that aren’t obvious as well as the ones that are. From there you get a clear explanation of what actually needs doing and why, so you’re not left guessing what a quote covers. The repair itself is carried out with materials appropriate to your roof, and we finish by leaving the roof weathertight and looking the way it should, not patched in a way that’s obvious from the street.

We treat every roof repair like it matters, because a missed leak or a rushed patch today can turn into real internal damage, damp timber and a much bigger bill down the line. Our team has more than 30 years of hands on experience with slate, tile and timber shingle roofing, and every job is carried out by the same experienced hands from the first inspection through to the final check.

We carry out roof repairs across Sydney’s established suburbs including Bellevue Hill, Rose Bay, Double Bay, Mosman, Cremorne, Neutral Bay, Northbridge, Hunters Hill, Drummoyne, Paddington, Balmain, Glebe, Darlinghurst, and along the Northern Beaches from Manly through to Avalon.

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

Roof Repairs FAQs

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

Most roofs can be repaired rather than replaced if the underlying structure, battens and underlay are still sound and less than around half the slates or tiles are damaged. We’ll tell you honestly during the inspection if repair is still the right call or if a reroof would serve you better long term.

Yes. We source reclaimed and new slate to match the colour, texture and thickness of what’s already on your roof, so a repair blends in rather than standing out.

We regularly carry out repairs in Heritage Conservation Areas across Woollahra, Mosman, North Sydney, Inner West, Northern Beaches and the City of Sydney, and we understand the material and method requirements each council typically expects.

We prioritise storm damage calls and aim to inspect affected roofs promptly, working with your insurer where a claim is involved.
