Living in Toowoomba, we see plenty of houses with their own unique roofing quirks. With a mix of older Queenslanders and newer developments, it’s common for homeowners to run into roofing issues that need more than just a patch-up job.
Our team is familiar with the patterns and the most frequent roofing complaints locals have. Here are the main problems we get called to fix, ones that tend to pop up time and again around Toowoomba homes.
One of the most common reasons we get a call is for roof leaks, especially after storms or a stretch of wet weather. Even newer roofs can spring a leak if flashing isn’t properly installed or gutters are blocked.
With the range of roof materials in Toowoomba, from corrugated iron to tiles, different problems show up in different houses. Small leaks can turn into major water damage quickly if not fixed.
We check for both the obvious and hidden causes, then carry out solid repairs to stop the issue from coming back.
We often see issues where roofing sheets or tiles are damaged or come loose, either from age, wind, or simple wear and tear. This can lead to exposed timbers, entry points for pests, or rain getting where it shouldn’t.
Sometimes the damage isn’t obvious until you notice a ceiling stain or feel a draft. It’s not just older houses, sometimes newer builds can have installation faults too.
We replace or secure the materials and make sure everything is sealed up tight.
A lot of homes in Toowoomba, especially those built before modern building codes, were not designed with proper roof ventilation in mind. Without good airflow, the space under the roof can turn into a heat trap on sunny days and hold excess moisture when it cools down at night.
Over time, this leads to mould growth, peeling paint, and even warped timber. You might also notice your home feels stuffy or that cooling costs are higher than they should be.
Our team specialises in assessing existing ventilation and adding practical solutions like whirlybirds, ridge vents, or updated soffit systems to get the air flowing again.
We see a fair bit of moss, mould, and lichen taking hold on tiled roofs around Toowoomba, especially on homes with older, porous tiles or those shaded by big trees.
Besides looking unsightly, this growth can speed up tile deterioration, cause leaks by blocking drainage channels, and sometimes affect indoor air quality.
Water sits longer on affected surfaces, which leads to staining or musty odours in your ceiling cavities.
We use safe, thorough cleaning methods and apply protective treatments when needed to prevent regrowth and restore your tiled roof to its proper condition.

When you’re deciding on roofing services in Toowoomba, there are bound to be specific questions that cross your mind.
Below, Five Star Roofing addresses one of the most common and region-specific roofing queries we hear from local homeowners and property managers.
Toowoomba roofs often suffer from leaks, rust, broken tiles, or storm damage. Whether you need a repair or full restoration depends on how widespread the problem is.
Regular leaks, mould, missing tiles, sagging, or rust patches usually point to a roof nearing the end of its life. We typically suggest restoration if over a third of the roof is affected or if past repairs haven’t held up. This is common in older or storm-hit homes.
Restorations usually cost between $3,500 and $12,000, while minor repairs may cost a few hundred. If you’re unsure what your roof needs, contact us for a full inspection and honest advice.
Generally, minor roof repairs and restorations that don’t change the original roof’s shape, colour, or material don’t require Toowoomba Regional Council approval.
However, if your property is heritage listed, in a character precinct, or you plan major changes (like switching from tile to metal or altering the roof pitch), council consent may be needed.
At Five Star Roofing, we always recommend checking with your local council, especially for older or heritage homes common in Toowoomba, as rules can vary by suburb or property type.
We’re happy to liaise with council on your behalf to help you avoid compliance issues or fines. If you’re unsure what’s required for your roof restoration, give us a call and we’ll guide you through the steps.
In Toowoomba, a standard roof restoration by Five Star Roofing includes a thorough inspection, cleaning (usually with high-pressure washing), repairing or replacing damaged metal sheets or tiles, sealing, and finally, priming and painting or protective coating.
For most homes, the process takes three to five days, depending on roof size and weather conditions, as larger or more complex roofs might take up to a week.
Restoration costs in the Toowoomba area generally range from $3,500 to $12,000, based on the roof’s condition, size, and material.
We pride ourselves on detailed prep work and robust finishes that last so if you’re ready for a roof that looks new again, contact us now for a free quote and honest advice.
In Toowoomba, we recommend having your roof professionally inspected at least every two years, or more often after severe storms or strong winds.
At Five Star Roofing, our inspections focus on issues common in local homes, such as hidden tile movement, cracked pointing, blocked gutters, and early rust in metal sheets or flashings.
We also check for problems often missed in DIY checks, like poor ventilation or algae under lichen.
Our reports include clear advice and a cost estimate for any needed repairs or maintenance, from a few hundred dollars for small fixes to several thousand for major work.
Staying proactive helps prevent costly damage, so if it’s been a while since your last inspection, get in touch for a no-obligation roof assessment.
