Signs a Tile Roof Replacement is Needed
Knowing when a replacement is needed can save you money and prevent unexpected damage. Our team at Five Star Roofing has replaced thousands of tile roofs across Brisbane, so we understand the common warning signs, many of which aren’t obvious until the damage is advanced.
Persistent Leaks Despite Repairs
If your roof continues leaking after repairs, there’s usually more going on beneath the tiles.
Watermarks, mould, or swollen fixtures inside the home signal failed sarking or underlays, problems common in older Brisbane homes.
Our tile roof replacement process addresses the visible tiles and the entire system, ensuring you avoid repeat leaks and hidden moisture issues.
Advanced Tile and Surface Damage
Noticeable tile cracks, chips, shifting, and granule grit in the gutters are strong indicators. Loose tiles or sandy runoff are less visible, showing that tiles have lost their protective coating.
Our specialists inspect for weak points like hairline cracks or tile movement. When patching becomes a constant chore, full roof replacement is more economical and reliable for long-term protection.
Sagging, Wavy, or Uneven Rooflines
A roofline that’s no longer straight suggests damage to underlying battens or trusses, often from humidity, water ingress, or past pest activity. This structural decline can’t be fixed with tile patching alone.
At Five Star Roofing, we assess the entire structure during any tile roof replacement in Brisbane, repairing supports as needed for a safe, level finish that lasts.
Recurring Maintenance and Escalating Costs
Frequent repairs and rising costs mean your roof’s core components are reaching the end of their service life. Many Brisbane homeowners call us after realising ongoing fixes aren’t enough.
We help clients understand when a complete tile roof replacement is more cost-effective and less stressful than continued patchwork.
If you’ve noticed any of these issues, our experienced Five Star Roofing team can inspect your roof, explain your options, and deliver a full tile roof replacement tailored to local conditions and your budget. Contact us to discuss the best long-term solution for your property.
Tile Roof Replacement Timeline
Understanding how long tile roof replacement takes helps with planning. Every home is different, but certain factors consistently affect timing across Brisbane.
Roof Size and Job Complexity
The most significant influence is the square metre size of your roof. Standard single-storey homes in Brisbane usually take our team three to seven days to replace the tiles fully.
Multi-level properties, or those with steep pitches and complex shapes, generally need more time for safe access, material handling, and installation.
If we find unexpected issues like damaged rafters or insulation, this will add days to the job.
Tile Type and Site Access Delays
We supply and install concrete and terracotta tiles, mostly in stock and ready to go. However, if you want a specific profile or colour made to order, there might be a hold-up before we can start.
Difficult access, like narrow driveways or limited space, requires extra time for scaffolding and moving materials safely onto the site.
Our team always factors this into the scheduling.
Weather and Safety Planning for Brisbane Projects
Brisbane’s weather is usually suitable for roofing, but storms or heavy rain sometimes interrupt work.
We build weather contingencies into the project plan, particularly during wet months. Safety is never rushed.
We’re required to set up edge protections and manage waste disposal according to Brisbane regulations, which adds to the project time but ensures the book does everything.
Final Clean-up and Quality Check
After tile installation, we spend a whole half-day on a thorough clean-up. We take all old tiles and rubbish to licensed facilities.
Our team then completes a detailed inspection before handing the roof back, ensuring you get the quality and documentation you need.
If you’d like a realistic timeframe for your own tile roof replacement, contact us and we’ll provide a clear written schedule tailored to your home.
Our Tile Roof Replacement Process
Replacing your tile roof is a big decision, so we keep our process open and straightforward. Here’s how our team at Five Star Roofing gets it done for local homeowners.
1. Checking the Roof Structure
First, we inspect your roof in detail. We look for leaks, damaged or missing tiles, and check that the structure beneath is safe and strong.
This helps us figure out whether a complete replacement is necessary.
2. Beginning the Replacement Work
If replacement is needed, we carefully remove the existing tiles and assess what needs to be fixed underneath.
We then install your chosen type, ensuring every tile is set for the Brisbane climate. We aim for lasting results with as little fuss as possible.
3. Roof Flashings and Waterproofing
We fit new flashings and seal all joints to keep water out. This step protects your roof from Brisbane’s weather, especially during storm season.
We use materials matched to your chosen tile type for a watertight finish.
4. Final Inspection and Site Clean-Up
Once the tiles and flashings are in place, our team checks every part of your new roof.
We also clear away any rubbish and leftover materials, making sure your property is tidy before we leave.
