Slate Roof Restoration and Repairs in Cremorne

Cremorne has always balanced elegance with character and slate roofing reflects both. From Federation homes tucked along quiet leafy streets to early 20th-century houses with harbour views, many Cremorne roofs were built using materials meant to endure.
When slate starts to age or break down, it is important to get your roof rectified to prevent further damage to your home

We trained where slate roofing began, in the same Welsh quarry region that supplied much of the slate that ended up on Sydney roofs over a century ago. Thirty years on, we now apply that same old-school technique to homes right here in Cremorne.
We’ve restored and repaired slate roofs across the lower north shore, always with a focus on detail and respect for the original build.

We use only premium slate-Welsh, Canadian, and Spanish, chosen for its long life and ability to match what’s already on the roof. See our recent new Canadian slate roof in the Lower North Shore
Where possible, we blend in reclaimed slate tiles to keep the look consistent.

If your roof is part of Cremorne’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

Cremorne Slate Roofing FAQs

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

Many of Cremorne’s Federation and early 20th-century homes were originally roofed with Welsh slate, the same material we trained with in the quarry regions of Wales over 30 years ago. Today we work with Welsh, Canadian, and Spanish slate, both new and reclaimed, sourced for its durability and ability to match what’s already on your roof.

Yes. Keeping the roof visually consistent is just as important as making it watertight, especially on Cremorne’s heritage streetscapes. Where possible we blend in reclaimed slate tiles to match the aged tone and texture of the existing roof. Where new slate is needed, we source only from trusted suppliers whose product closely matches in colour and finish.

Cremorne falls under Willoughby and North Sydney Council areas, and parts of the suburb are subject to heritage conservation guidelines. If your home is heritage-listed or within a conservation zone, roofing work will need to meet specific requirements around materials, colour, and method. We’re experienced navigating these guidelines and can advise you on what applies to your property before any work begins.

Yes. Sloped blocks, tight access, and harbour-side positioning are common across Cremorne and something we deal with regularly. We do all the work ourselves, no subcontractors, so nothing gets handed off once the job starts. We plan access carefully from the outset to make sure the work is done safely and properly regardless of the site conditions.

We handle everything from replacing individual broken or slipping tiles through to more involved work like reflashing around chimneys, replacing lead work, repointing ridge caps, and laying new slate where water damage has occurred. Whether it’s a simple fix or a detailed restoration, we approach every job with the same care and focus on preserving the original character of the roof.

Slate itself is one of the longest-lasting roofing materials available, but the battens, sarking, and fixings beneath it don’t always age at the same rate. On many Cremorne homes, the tiles are still sound while the underlying structure has quietly deteriorated. Signs to watch for include water stains inside the home, slipping or missing tiles, or a roof that’s been patched multiple times without solving the problem. A proper inspection will give you a clear picture.
