Resistant to corrosion, pests, and rot.
Available in a wide range of profiles, colours, and finishes.
We restore a wide range of roofs across North Hobart, including:
Terracotta and concrete tiled roofs
Colorbond and metal roofing
Older galvanised iron roofs
Slate and flat roofing sections
Each restoration project is handled with care, ensuring long-lasting results and improved energy performance.
Many South Hobart homes are built on elevated or sloped land. Metal roofing is lightweight and ideal for structural efficiency in these environments.
For homes in South Hobart’s historic districts, metal roofing can replicate older styles while delivering modern performance and energy efficiency.
Living closer to the coast or on the edge of the hills? Our metal roofs are treated for corrosion resistance, offering long-term protection against salt air and moisture.
A typical residential metal roof installation takes between 3 to 5 days, depending on roof complexity, weather, and project size. Larger or commercial roofs may take longer.
In many cases, yes. We assess your current roof structure and determine whether it’s safe and compliant to install a metal roof over it, which can save time and labour.
For most straightforward roof replacements or upgrades, council approval may not be required. However, we always check with Hobart City Council guidelines and can assist with planning permits if needed—especially for heritage-zoned areas.

If your roof is showing signs of age, damage, or inefficiency, Roofing Hobart Tasmania offers professional and cost-effective roof replacement services in South Hobart. Whether you’re dealing with recurring leaks, visible damage, or simply want to improve your property’s value and performance, our team delivers tailored solutions using premium materials like Colorbond and Zincalume.
Roofs in South Hobart endure constant exposure to varying weather—rain, high winds, and sun. Over time, this wear and tear leads to water damage, structural issues, and increased energy costs. A full roof replacement is often the most reliable and long-term solution to ensure your home or business stays protected and efficient.
We work with all roof types: tile-to-metal upgrades, old metal replacements, or even asbestos roof removal and replacement.
If you’re unsure whether you need repairs or a full replacement, here are some common indicators it’s time for a new roof:
Water infiltration or ceiling stains can mean your roof’s waterproofing layer has failed.
A warped structure indicates deeper damage to the roofing frame or battens.
Advanced corrosion can compromise the integrity of your entire roof system.
Poor insulation and air leaks often stem from deteriorating roofing materials.
We provide a comprehensive, step-by-step roof replacement service designed for minimal disruption and maximum efficiency:
We inspect your existing roof, identify issues, and provide a detailed report with recommendations.
You choose from a range of roofing materials, colours, and finishes—fitted to your style and budget.
We safely strip away old sheets, tiles, or asbestos roofing with proper disposal methods.
Battens, rafters, insulation, and ventilation are checked and upgraded if necessary.
Our team installs your new roof using high-quality materials like Colorbond or Zincalume.
For most residential properties, the process takes between 3 to 7 days, depending on roof size, complexity, and weather conditions.
Not usually. We complete most roof replacements while you remain in the home. However, we’ll notify you if access restrictions or safety concerns arise.

Has your roof seen better days but isn’t quite ready for a full replacement? At Roofing Hobart Tasmania, we specialise in roof restoration in South Hobart, giving aging tile and metal roofs a new lease on life. Whether your home has faded Colorbond sheets, moss-covered tiles, or minor leaks, we restore your roof’s integrity, appearance, and weather resistance—without the cost of a complete re-roof.
South Hobart’s weather can take its toll on roofing over time. Strong winds, heavy rain, and sun exposure can cause fading, wear, and minor damage. Rather than replace your entire roof, restoration offers a cost-effective solution that improves both function and street appeal.
We work on tiled roofs, metal roofs, and Colorbond systems, tailoring restoration plans based on your roof’s age and condition.
If you’re unsure whether you need repairs or a full replacement, here are some common indicators it’s time for a new roof:
We re-seal, re-point, and coat the roof to create a watertight barrier against leaks and moisture intrusion.
We clean, repair, and repaint the surface, bringing your roof back to life while preventing future damage.
Avoid sending old tiles or metal sheets to landfill by restoring instead of replacing. It’s a sustainable, resource-conscious option.
A restored roof increases curb appeal and reflects more sunlight—helping regulate indoor temperatures and reduce cooling costs.
We provide a comprehensive, step-by-step roof replacement service designed for minimal disruption and maximum efficiency:
We replace and re-bed damaged tiles to restore a smooth, even surface.
We pressure clean and treat surfaces to remove and prevent regrowth.
We sand, prime, and repaint weathered sections to stop corrosion and enhance appearance.
These crucial details are resealed or replaced to ensure watertight protection.
Most jobs take 1–3 days, depending on roof size and weather.
Yes! We’re experienced in restoring both tiled roofs and metal roofs, including Colorbond and corrugated iron.
Absolutely. A properly restored roof can last an additional 10–15 years or more, especially with regular maintenance.

Ridge capping is one of the most important components of a tiled roof—but it’s also one of the most commonly neglected. At Roofing Hobart Tasmania, we provide professional ridge cap restoration in South Hobart, ensuring your roof stays fully sealed and structurally sound.
Whether you’ve noticed cracked mortar, water stains in your ceiling, or tiles starting to lift around the ridge line, our experienced roofers can restore and re-secure your ridge caps using high-quality materials and techniques built for Tasmanian conditions.
The ridge is the highest point of your roof where two sections meet—making it particularly vulnerable to weather, moisture, and movement. The ridge capping (the curved or angled tiles that cover this junction) plays a vital role in protecting your home.
Here’s why ridge cap maintenance is essential:
Damaged ridge caps are one of the most common causes of roof leaks, especially during heavy rains or storms.
Loose or missing caps can lead to tile shifting, water ingress, and even internal timber damage if left untreated.
Gaps in the ridge can allow birds, rodents, and insects to enter your roof cavity—leading to infestations, noise, and contamination.
Here’s how we bring your ridge capping back to top condition:
We assess your ridge line and surrounding tiles for signs of wear or damage.
All cracked or loose mortar is removed and cleaned off.
New mortar bedding is applied to secure ridge tiles in their correct position.
A high-grade flexible pointing compound is applied for long-lasting waterproofing and weather resistance.
We perform a final quality check and ensure all debris is removed from your property.
Most residential roofs take 1–2 days, depending on size and extent of damage.
Yes. If only a section is affected, we can perform partial restoration. However, full ridge line work is often more cost-effective long-term.
Delaying ridge cap work can lead to internal water damage, higher repair bills, and pest entry. Early restoration is highly recommended.

If your roof is leaking, sagging, or showing signs of wear, don’t wait until minor issues turn into expensive repairs. At Roofing Hobart Tasmania, we provide professional roof repairs in South Hobart, covering everything from cracked tiles and storm damage to metal roof rust patches and failing flashing.
Whether it’s a small residential roof leak or a major issue affecting your commercial property, our licensed team will quickly diagnose the problem and deliver targeted, long-lasting repairs that restore your roof’s integrity.
South Hobart’s unique climate—ranging from frosty winter mornings to windy coastal storms—can take a toll on local roofs. Common issues we see include:
Especially on older terracotta roofs, frost causes tiles to crack, shift or loosen, exposing the underlayment.
High winds in South Hobart’s elevated areas can dislodge or tear flashing, allowing water to enter vulnerable points like chimneys and skylights.
Blocked valleys, gutters, or downpipes often cause water to pool and backflow under tiles or metal sheets, leading to hidden leaks.
Heavy rain, falling branches and hail can damage roof surfaces, particularly in homes near the foothills or surrounded by large trees.
Here’s how we handle every roof repair project:
We identify the root cause of your roofing issue using visual checks, drone inspections, or moisture detection tools.
We provide a detailed report and itemised quote explaining what needs fixing, why, and the best repair method.
Our qualified roofers carry out repairs with minimal disruption, using high-quality materials built to last.
We double-check all repairs, ensure proper sealing, and clean up your property before we leave.
Small repairs (like fixing a few tiles or resealing flashing) typically start from $250–$600, while major repairs involving structural work or multiple areas may range from $1,000–$3,000+. We provide free quotes with no obligation.
Yes. We offer same-day roof repair services for urgent leaks or dangerous damage. Emergency callouts are available 24/7, especially after heavy storms.

A leaking roof can cause more than just water stains—it can lead to serious structural damage, mould growth, and even electrical hazards. At Roofing Hobart Tasmania, we provide expert roof leak repairs in South Hobart, using advanced tools and proven techniques to accurately detect and repair roof leaks before they escalate into expensive issues.
Whether you’re seeing a drip in your ceiling, damp spots near walls, or water pooling after a storm, our local roofing specialists are ready to help—fast.
Finding the source of a leak is often more complex than it seems. Water can travel several metres before it shows up inside your home. That’s why we use a multi-step leak detection process to ensure nothing is missed:
We start with a thorough inspection of your roof surface, checking for broken tiles, missing screws, loose flashing, rusted valleys, and other common causes.
Our technicians use moisture meters to identify damp zones inside ceilings and walls, helping pinpoint where leaks are penetrating.
For homes with steep pitches or limited access, we use drone technology to safely and accurately inspect every part of your roof.
South Hobart’s mix of heritage homes, sloped terrain, and varied weather conditions mean leaks can stem from several specific problem areas:
These are prone to blockages from leaves and debris, causing water to back up and seep under tiles or sheets.
Poor sealing around chimneys is a major entry point for rainwater, especially on older brick homes common in South Hobart.
Aged or cracked skylight seals can allow water in during heavy downpours.
When gutters are blocked or incorrectly pitched, water can spill over and leak into roof cavities or behind fascia boards.
Often caused by wind, frost, or age, broken roof materials are one of the most common leak sources.
Proactive maintenance is the best defence against water damage. Here’s how South Hobart homeowners can stay leak-free:
Schedule annual roof inspections to catch early signs of wear
Clean gutters regularly—especially after autumn leaf fall
Trim overhanging branches to reduce impact and debris buildup
Check skylights and vents for aged sealants
Look inside your roof cavity after major storms or frost events
We also offer roof maintenance packages for homeowners wanting to extend the life of their roof and prevent costly surprises.
If your roof starts leaking during a storm or poses a safety risk, we offer 24/7 emergency leak repair services. We’ll perform temporary tarping and seal critical areas to prevent further damage until a full repair can be scheduled.
We understand that a leaking roof can’t wait, which is why same-day leak repair services are available across South Hobart and surrounding suburbs.

Looking to refresh your home’s appearance or add years to your existing roof? At Roofing Hobart Tasmania, we offer professional roof painting in South Hobart using premium coatings designed to protect, beautify, and extend the life of your roof—whether tiled or metal.
Our local roof painters understand the unique weather patterns and property styles of South Hobart, delivering high-performance finishes that suit both modern builds and heritage homes.
While aesthetics play a big role, professional roof painting offers far more than curb appeal. Here’s what a quality paint job can do for your roof:
South Hobart receives intense summer sun that can break down roof materials over time. Roof paint acts as a UV-resistant shield, protecting tiles and sheets from brittleness and fading.
A fresh coat helps seal porous surfaces, preventing water ingress, rust, and tile erosion—especially critical for older or weathered roofs.
Whether you’re planning to sell or just want a cleaner, more vibrant exterior, a professionally painted roof boosts street appeal and adds perceived value to your home.
Every job we do follows a strict, high-quality system to ensure lasting results:
Checking for damage, rust, cracks, and issues that need fixing before painting
Removing dirt, moss, mould, and loose paint
Ridge cap repointing, tile replacement, or rust treatment
Tailored to roof material (tile or metal)
Using spray technology for even, thick coverage
Ensuring a flawless finish and spotless site
Choosing the right colour is about more than personal taste. Our team can guide you with insights such as:
Lighter Colours = Better Heat Performance
Shades like pale grey, beige, and light green help reflect heat, keeping your home cooler in summer.
Heritage-Friendly Colours
South Hobart has many Federation and colonial-style homes. We offer colours that align with heritage overlay guidelines, ensuring your roof complements the architectural character.
Colourbond Palette Matching
If you already have Colorbond fencing or gutters, we can help match or coordinate for a cohesive exterior finish.
Most projects are completed in 2–3 days, depending on weather and prep needs.
Yes! As long as the tiles are structurally sound, we clean, seal, and paint them to look brand new.
While paint helps protect, any underlying leaks must be repaired first. We always fix issues before painting to ensure a long-lasting result.

Contain Leaks with Buckets or Towels
