How Tile Roof Replacement Works

Tile roof replacement means taking off your old roof tiles and installing a fresh set, often concrete, terracotta, or slate, across the entire roof structure. With homes across Australia, we see this service is needed when repairs are no longer practical or cost-effective, or if updated looks and better performance are the goal.

The process goes beyond just swapping tiles. It’s also about addressing worn-out timber, fixing damaged battens, and ensuring the whole system does what it should, keeping your home dry, weatherproof, and looking sharp.

Full Removal and Installation Process

Our team starts by carefully removing every old tile, underlay, and ridge cap, working methodically to protect the roof frame underneath. We handle all damaged or rotten sections, replacing structural timbers and battens as needed.

We then lay down new sarking, which is a waterproof membrane, before fitting your choice of new tiles.

Every tile is properly fixed and detailed for long-term durability and weather protection. At Five Star Roofing, we make sure that no detail is missed during your tile roof replacement.

Comprehensive Assessment and Custom Services

Before any work starts, we run a complete inspection of the current roof, including checks for hidden damage, asbestos, and any issues that may add risk or cost. This lets us give you an accurate quote, confident recommendations around tile types, and a plan matched to your home’s needs.

Being in business for over 20 years, we’ve handled every roof scenario you can imagine, so you can trust us to flag potential setbacks early and plan for a seamless result.

Quality, Compliance, and Warranty

All tile roof replacement jobs with Five Star Roofing meet strict council rules and industry standards. Our licensed roofers handle every step, so your new roof isn’t just built to look good, but is also covered by solid product and workmanship warranties.

We use reputable suppliers for all our tiles and components, aiming for energy efficiency, storm readiness, and easy integration with solar if you’re planning for that.

If your roof is showing its age or constant repairs just aren’t cutting it, get in touch. Our team can give you straight, practical advice and manage your tile roof replacement from start to finish.

 

 

Why You Should Consider Tile Roof Replacement

Upgrading to a new tile roof brings real improvements to your property. Our team at Five Star Roofing sees the difference every day on homes across NSW, QLD, and the ACT. A full tile roof replacement boosts protection, performance, and value for the long term.

Increased Durability and Weather Protection

Modern tile roofing is made to last. When we replace a roof, we use high-quality tiles that resist UV, rain, wind, and even salt spray for those near the coast.

Our installers follow strict standards, ensuring every new roof achieves maximum lifespan, often 40 years or more. That means fewer surprises down the line and less risk of leaks or sudden damage from severe weather.

Lower Maintenance and Repair Costs

Old tile roofs tend to need repairs, and cracked tiles, shifting, and water ingress are common. With a complete tile roof replacement, these frequent issues are largely resolved.

New tile roofs from our team require less maintenance and reduce the likelihood of emergency patch jobs. That saves homeowners both time and ongoing repair bills, as we use materials and techniques proven over decades in the Australian market.

Better Energy Efficiency and Comfort

A freshly installed tile roof can make your home more energy efficient. Tiles provide excellent thermal mass, which helps regulate indoor temperatures and reduce reliance on heating or cooling.

We always ensure proper sarking and insulation are included, helping cut down on energy costs and keeping your living space comfortable year-round.

Enhanced Curb Appeal and Property Value

A new tile roof immediately lifts the look of your home. Tiles come in a variety of colours and profiles, so we can match your style or the area’s architecture.

The improvement isn’t just cosmetic; buyers are willing to pay more for properties with new, low-maintenance roofs. Most importantly, it signals the home is well cared for, which is appealing in any market.

If you’re considering a tile roof replacement in Australia, talking to an experienced team makes all the difference. Reach out to Five Star Roofing for straightforward advice and reliable service from local professionals.

 

 

Areas We Cover for Tile Roof Replacement

Our team at Five Star Roofing covers a wide service area, working throughout NSW, QLD, and the ACT. We handle everything from high-density city homes to rural and coastal properties, bringing decades of local experience to every job.

Major City Homes

We regularly replace tile roofs in Sydney, Brisbane, and surrounding urban centres. Our work in these cities includes dealing with older terracotta or concrete tiles, navigating council permits, and meeting strict heritage guidelines where required.

We understand how local climate and house style influence which tile replacement methods are most suitable.

Suburban and Regional Areas

From outer suburbs to rural towns in NSW, QLD, and the ACT, our tile roof replacement services adapt to all property types, including single-storey brick homes and larger farmhouses. In many regional areas, roofing regulations demand specific non-combustible tiles and bushfire-safe installations.

We source suitable materials for each location and manage replacements for older homes with uncommon or discontinued tiles.

Coastal Areas Around QLD and NSW

Coastal homes around QLD’s Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast, and NSW’s Newcastle see more rapid tile wear from salt air and storms. We prioritise durable, weather-resistant tiles and use stainless fixings and secure waterproofing so your new tile roof can handle severe local conditions. Our team also offers ongoing advice for coastal roof care.

Handling Local Regulations and Site Requirements

Every location has its own rules for roof replacements. We manage applications for council compliance and ensure insulation, sarking, and fire resistance measures are built into each project. This way, you get a roof that not only lasts but is fully certified for your region.

To discuss your local tile roof replacement needs, contact our team for practical advice or an on-site assessment.

 

 

How We Replace Your Tile Roofs

Replacing a tile roof is a big job, and we know you want it done right. Here’s a simple look at how our team approaches this service from start to finish.

1. Check Roof Structure

Before anything else, we thoroughly assess your roof’s overall condition. We look for signs of age, ongoing leaks, or structural issues like sagging or cracked battens. This helps us confirm whether a full replacement is needed, and ensures your new roof will stay secure for decades.

2. Begin Tile Replacement

If replacement is the right move, we’ll talk you through material choices and set up a plan that fits your goals and budget. Our crew carefully removes the old tiles, sorts out any underlying repairs, then installs your chosen new tiles with care. The end result: a roof that looks great, handles harsh weather, and adds value to your home.

3. Maintain Roof Safety

Throughout the job, we maintain a safe and organised worksite. We use scaffolding or edge protection as needed and make sure debris is managed to protect your property, garden, and driveway.

4. Conduct Final Inspection

When installation is complete, we inspect the whole roof for finish and fit. Our team then clears all leftover materials, old tiles, and waste, leaving your home tidy and ready to enjoy.

Frequently Asked Questions

You should consider a full replacement if your tile roof is nearing the end of its lifespan (generally 25 to 40 years for most concrete or terracotta tiles), or if there is widespread damage like multiple cracked, broken, or missing tiles, persistent leaks that repairs haven’t fixed, or structural concerns such as sagging or rotten battens.

Repairs may be suitable for smaller, isolated issues, such as a handful of broken tiles or minor leaks. In situations where roof damage is major, like after storms common in many Australian suburbs, or when you want to upgrade to more durable or modern materials (for example, switching to Colorbond®), a replacement is usually the best long-term investment.

If you’re unsure about the right approach for your property, our team of experts at Five Star Roofing is always ready to assess your situation and recommend the most cost-effective and lasting solution. Reach out today for expert guidance and quotes tailored to your home.

Tile roof replacement costs in Australia usually range from $100 to $200 per square metre, depending on your location, choice of materials, and the complexity of your roof.

For example, replacing a tile roof on an average suburban home in Brisbane or Adelaide might cost between $10,000 and $20,000 for a complete job including materials, labour, and the safe disposal of old tiles.

Concrete tiles are the most budget-friendly, while terracotta and slate come at a premium but tend to last longer. Costs can also increase if your property has difficult site access, a steep pitch, or needs structural repairs before new tiles are installed.

At Five Star Roofing, we always provide a free, detailed quote so you can understand every cost involved upfront. If you want accurate pricing tailored to your roof and location, get in touch with our team today for expert advice and a no-obligation estimate.

In Australia, a professionally installed tile roof usually lasts between 30 and 50 years, depending on the type of tile you choose and how well the roof is maintained.

Concrete tiles are highly popular for their affordability and can be expected to last around three to four decades, while terracotta and slate tiles often have a longer lifespan but require a higher upfront investment.

Factors such as regular roof maintenance, local climate, and the quality of the original installation can also impact how long your new tile roof serves you.
At Five Star Roofing, we only use quality materials and proven techniques to ensure the best longevity for your specific property and location. If you want to discuss options for a long-lasting tile roof or need an expert opinion on your current roof’s condition. Contact us today for honest, local advice.

When comparing tile and metal (such as Colorbond®) roof replacement, each option has clear advantages depending on your property and goals. Tile roofs, whether concrete or terracotta, offer excellent thermal insulation and classic street appeal, making them ideal for those who value tradition and quieter interiors.

However, they are heavier and usually require more structural support and regular maintenance. Metal roofs like Colorbond® are lighter, more resistant to moss and lichen, and especially popular in NSW, QLD and the ACT due to their durability in areas prone to storms or heavy rainfall.

Installation is typically quicker and maintenance easier, although some homeowners prefer the appearance and feel of tile.

At Five Star Roofing, we provide tailored advice to help you weigh up lifespan, aesthetics, cost, and practical needs for your home. If you’re unsure which roofing option best suits your area and lifestyle, get in touch for a no-obligation consultation and personalised quote.
