What’s Included in a Terracotta Roof Restoration
Restoring a terracotta roof in Australia is a thorough process designed to bring old tiles back to their best, both visually and functionally. Our team at Five Star Roofing carries out all parts of this process, drawing on decades of experience with tile roofing and a deep understanding of local roofing standards.
Identifying & Assessing Roof Issues
The first step in terracotta roof restoration is a detailed inspection. We look for cracks, broken tiles, worn ridge capping, and signs of moss or lichen. Blocked valleys or damaged flashings are also common in older terracotta roofs. By checking these details from the start, we ensure we address both obvious damage and hidden risks, setting up your roof for lasting performance.
Surface Cleaning & Moss Removal
Over time, terracotta tiles collect dirt, organic growth, and pollutants. Our team uses high-pressure cleaning tailored for terracotta tiles, safely removing moss, lichen, and surface grime. This not only improves the appearance of the roof but also prevents moisture from getting trapped, which can cause tile movement or cracking later.
Repairing & Replacing Terracotta Tiles
If inspections reveal broken or shifted tiles, we replace them with matching terracotta tiles whenever available. Proper rebedding and pointing of ridges use flexible compounds to ensure they move with the roof without cracking. We address valley irons and flashings, replacing or repairing them if needed to stop leaks and avoid future corrosion.
Sealing & Protecting Terracotta Tiles
The last stage is applying a protective sealer designed for Australia’s demanding weather. This keeps the tiles watertight, slows down new moss growth, and maintains the roof’s distinctive colour. Our coatings allow the terracotta to breathe while providing necessary water repellency and resistance to UV damage, preserving your roof’s look and structure for years.
If your terracotta roof needs attention, our team at Five Star Roofing is ready to help with a restoration process that’s proven across hundreds of local homes. Reach out for straightforward advice and a no-obligation assessment.
Why You Should Consider Terracotta Roof Restoration
Restoring a terracotta roof offers homeowners across Australia a combination of practical, financial, and aesthetic advantages. Our team at Five Star Roofing focuses on extending the performance and service life of tile roofs, while protecting your investment and improving the entire property.
Extended Roof Lifespan
Through terracotta roof restoration, we address worn or cracked tiles, shifting, and surface wear before these issues escalate. This approach helps your roof last decades longer, well past 50 years, when properly maintained. By solving minor issues early, we save homeowners from the major expense and disruption of full roof replacement.
Enhanced Water Resistance
Cracked tiles and debris build-up allow water to seep through, risking timber rot, mould, and structural damage. Our restoration process involves cleaning, tile replacement, and careful repointing. This seals the roof against leaks and moisture, guarding your home’s structure and reducing the chance of insurance claim complications caused by under-maintained roofs.
Increased Energy Efficiency
A clean, restored terracotta roof functions better at reflecting sunlight and reducing heat absorption. This keeps homes cooler in summer and warmer in winter, decreasing the reliance on air conditioning. Our process supports natural thermal performance, helping you save on energy bills and maintain indoor comfort year-round.
Enhanced Property Value
Lichen, moss, and fading can make an otherwise sound roof look tired. Our specialist team revitalises terracotta roofs through cleaning, repointing, and replacement of damaged tiles, restoring vibrant colour and heritage character. This improves street appeal and can lift property value, whether your home is historic or contemporary.

How We Work Across NSW and QLD
We offer terracotta roof restoration across a wide range of areas in NSW and QLD. Our team knows that every suburb and region has its own set of challenges, from coastal salt exposure to harsh sun and storms.
With nearly 20 years in roofing, Five Star Roofing is well placed to restore terracotta tiles to their best, no matter where you are. Our projects range from metropolitan homes in Sydney and Brisbane to older houses in Adelaide, Newcastle and regional Victoria.
Restoration for Coastal & Inland Areas
Homes near the coast, such as on the Central Coast or Brisbane Bayside, face regular salt spray and weathering. Our restoration approach here includes anti-corrosive treatments and careful sealing of porous terracotta tiles. Inland and regional spots like the Blue Mountains, Goulburn, and Drouin see more issues with frost and moisture.
Heritage and Older Home Restoration
Many areas we service, such as Adelaide and the Victorian suburbs, have homes with historic or heritage value. Terracotta roof restoration on these properties often needs precise matching and sensitive repair methods. We work to retain the original style while upgrading weatherproofing and insulation, taking on the council’s compliance needs.
Insurance & Safety Standards Compliance
We handle insurance roof replacements throughout NSW and QLD. Our crew meets all local licensing and safety standards, whether we’re working at height in Sydney or tackling large jobs in Brisbane suburbs. We keep workplace safety and proper insurance at the core of our operations to protect both our clients and our team.

Our Process for Terracotta Roof Restoration
Restoring a terracotta roof takes more than a simple clean or patch-up. Here’s how our team at Five Star Roofing handles each restoration with care and skill.
Inspect Existing Roof Structure
Our first step is a detailed assessment of your roof’s condition. We look for leaks, damaged tiles, and any sign the structure may need extra support. This ensures our plan is thorough and matches your roof’s actual needs.
Replace Damaged Terracotta Tiles
After inspection, we replace any broken or missing terracotta tiles with matching ones. This protects against leaks and further damage, and helps your roof last years longer. We always use quality materials that suit your existing tiles.
Clean & Prepare Roof Surface
We clean your terracotta tiles using gentle pressure washing to remove moss, lichen, and surface debris. This step is essential for proper adhesion of any finishing products and helps maintain the tiles’ natural appearance.
Repoint and Secure Ridge Caps
We check all ridge caps and re-bed or repoint them where needed to prevent water ingress. Once pointing is complete, our team performs a final walkaround to confirm all work has set correctly and that no gaps or weaknesses remain.
