Signs Your Tiled Roof Needs Replacement

At Five Star Roofing, we’ve replaced thousands of tile roofs across Sydney. We know the signs that indicate when it’s time to stop repairing and start fresh. Here’s what to look out for:

Modern single-story house with a gray tile roof, large white garage door, stone accent wall, fenced front yard, and a small lawn at sunset.

Visible Tile Damage

Cracked, loose, or spalling tiles are signs your roof may need more than just patching. When damage is widespread, repairs won’t hold up long-term.

Persistent Leaks

If you notice water stains, mould, or bubbling paint on ceilings and walls, it often means water penetrates past the tiles. This suggests deeper issues that a repair won’t solve.

Roof Age Over 20 Years

Even well-maintained tile roofs have a lifespan. If yours is approaching or past 20 years, replacing it ensures continued protection, compliance with modern standards, and better energy efficiency.

Structural Concerns

Water intrusion can weaken battens and framing. A complete roof replacement is the best solution if structural damage is found during inspection.

Frequent Repairs

If you’re constantly calling for repairs, investing in a complete replacement offers better value and long-term peace of mind.

Types of Roof Tiles We Replace

At Five Star Roofing, we work with all major tile types in Sydney. Each material has benefits, and our team ensures your replacement matches your home’s style, needs, and local conditions.

Concrete Tiles

Concrete roof tiles are a cost-effective and reliable choice for many homes. Made from sand, cement, and water, they offer strong fire resistance and are available in various profiles and colours.

Concrete tiles typically require periodic maintenance, such as rebedding and repointing, every 5–10 years. We’ve installed hundreds of concrete tile roofs across Sydney, selecting quality products that deliver durability and appearance.

Terracotta Tiles

Terracotta tiles remain a favourite for heritage and modern properties due to their natural colour and resistance to fading. These kiln-fired clay tiles offer excellent moisture and fire resistance, lasting over 70 years with minimal care.

Our team understands terracotta’s unique handling needs and sources tiles that match the city’s character, delivering a low-maintenance, stylish option that meets coastal conditions.

Slate Roof Tile

Slate tiles represent the premier end of tile roofing, prized for their unmatched lifespan and visual appeal. Due to their weight, these natural stone tiles demand expert installation and can require roof structure upgrades.

At Five Star Roofing, we have specialist crews experienced with slate, ensuring a water-tight, consistent finish that preserves your home’s value and heritage.

Solar Tile

Solar roof tiles combine the utility of a tiled roof with renewable energy generation. These tiles are more complex to install and have a higher upfront cost than conventional tiling.

We provide solar tile solutions for homeowners seeking a seamless look and lower power bills. We manage roof replacement and solar integration for efficiency and peace of mind.

Why You Should Consider Upgrading Your Tile Roof

Upgrading a tile roof offers substantial value for Sydney homeowners. At Five Star Roofing, our team sees daily how modern tile roofing solutions improve comfort, safety, and a property’s long-term appeal. With two decades of experience, we know which benefits matter most regarding tile roof replacement.

Lower Maintenance and Greater Durability

New tile roofing materials outperform older ones for longevity and reliability. Upgraded tiles resist cracking, fading, and moisture better, cutting the need for frequent repairs.

Our roof tile replacement service is designed to extend the life of your roof. We offer proven products that meet Sydney’s changing conditions with less fuss later on.

Increased Energy Efficiency and Comfort

Modern tile roofs, like terracotta and slate, naturally insulate homes, reducing the need for constant heating or cooling. Upgrading makes it easier to keep indoor temperatures steady, lowering power bills year-round.

Our solutions factor in material selection for both efficiency and comfort, giving you a smoother, quieter home environment.

Improved Property Value and Street Appeal

A tile roof replacement refreshes your home’s exterior, matching new styles and colours to suit any architecture.

Investing in an updated look turns heads and can raise your home’s market value. We guide you in choosing finishes that enhance appeal, and careful installation demonstrates our attention to detail.

Enhanced Safety and Insurance Benefits

New tile roofs meet current Australian standards for fire resistance and weather protection. This is especially useful for insurance, as compliant materials can help reduce your risk profile.

Our team is well-versed in insurance roof replacement, so your upgrade will give you peace of mind and protection.

Our Tile Roof Replacement Process

At Five Star Roofing, we follow a structured, safety-first process. This ensures that every tile roof replacement is completed to the highest standards, from your first call to the final handover.

Roof Inspection and Assessment

We begin with a free, detailed roof inspection to assess the extent of damage and determine if a full replacement is needed. Based on your roof’s age, condition, and structure, we’ll make a clear, honest recommendation.

Safe Removal and Preparation

We carefully remove the old tiles and underlayment, inspect the structure underneath, and carry out any needed repairs. Safety measures and site protection are set up to keep everything secure and organised.

Tile Installation and Finishing

Your new tiles are installed using up-to-date methods suited to your roof type and location. We finish with flashings, ridge caps, and gutters (if needed), ensuring your new roof is sealed, aligned, and built to last.

Final Inspection and Aftercare

Once completed, we perform a final quality check and walk you through the finished work. You’ll also receive care tips, warranty information, and ongoing support should any issues arise.

Frequently Asked Questions

It depends on your roof’s age, condition, and goals. Roof restoration is more affordable (usually $3,500–$7,500) and works well for roofs that are still structurally sound but showing signs of wear. 

Full replacement is better if your roof is over 20 years old, leaking often, or has widespread damage. Replacement typically costs $8,000–$15,000 and offers better long-term value. At Five Star Roofing, we’re happy to inspect your roof and recommend the best option.

In most cases, no. Council approval isn’t required if you use the same materials and don’t change the shape or height of the tile roof.

However, if your home is heritage-listed, in a conservation area, or planning significant changes, you may need a development application (DA). Our team at Five Star Roofing is experienced with Sydney council requirements, and we can help you navigate any approvals if required.

Most tile roof replacements take 5–7 working days, depending on the size and complexity of the job. Homes with multiple levels or limited access may take a bit longer. 

Weather can also impact timelines, but we always plan and keep you informed of any changes. At Five Star Roofing, we aim to complete the work safely, efficiently, and with minimal disruption to your daily routine.

Yes, we do our best to match your existing tiles. We source from leading tile manufacturers to find a colour and profile that closely matches your current roof.
