Pitched Roof Replacement
Roof Repairs Perth is the trusted roofing company for pitched roof replacement services in Perth.
Your pitched roof offers great protection against Perth’s unique climate challenges. However, when the wear and tear set in, you’re faced with issues like leaks and rising energy bills.
A complete pitched roof replacement isn’t just about fixing what’s broken, it’s about getting solid protection for your property that gives you peace of mind for decades to come.
We’re professionals with years of experience serving the Perth community, and we’ve transformed numerous properties with modern roofing systems that last.
The Pitched Roof Advantage
A pitched roof, or an angled roof, is the most common type of roofing for residential properties.
Unlike flat roofs, pitched roofs have a slope that allows for efficient water drainage. It’s a crucial feature when roofing Perth homes, considering our local heavy downpours.
You don’t have to worry about water ponding on top of your home.
They also benefit your property’s ventilation, thermal insulation, and aesthetic appeal. Unlike the usual flat roof materials, pitched roofs generally have longer lifespans.
The primary types of pitched roofs include:
- Gable roofs – the classic triangular design.
- Hip roofs – where all sides slope downwards.
- Dutch gable – a small gable on top of a hip roof.
- Skillion roofs – a single sloping surface.
We’ve encountered and worked on all types of pitched roofs in Perth. This extensive experience allows us to tackle and handle any roofing projects that come our way.
Do You Need a New Pitched Roof?
As your trusted Perth roofing company, we begin our services with a thorough roof inspection. We’ll document any roof damage and issues we find and offer you the best solutions.
If roof restorations and re-roofing will not suffice for your pitched roof, that’s when we’ll recommend a complete roof replacement.
Here are common indicators that you need to replace your roof:
- Cracked, broken, or missing roof tiles
- Curling or buckling shingles
- Rust spots or corrosion on metal roofing
- Water stains on ceilings or walls
- Mould or mildew growth
- Sudden increase in energy bills
- Light visible through the roof boards
- Sagging roof deck
- Gutters filled with granules or tile fragments
The age of your old roof can also be a sign that it’s no longer fit to protect your home. Old tile roofs typically last for 25-30 years, while traditional metal roofing may fail at 35-40 years old.

Our Pitched Roof Replacement Process

1. Initial Roof Inspection
We begin with a thorough evaluation of your current roof, examining every detail to understand its true state.
Our team identifies any underlying issues and structural concerns that might not be immediately visible to the untrained eye. We document everything with detailed photos and notes.
2. Consultation & Quoting
Based on our assessment, we provide material options specifically suited for your case, preferences, and budget.
We provide transparent pricing with no hidden costs. Our team clearly defines the timeline and scope of work so you know exactly what to expect.
3. Site Prep and Roof Removal
We carefully protect your surrounding landscaping and property to prevent damage before the work begins. Our roofing specialists will then systematically remove all existing roof materials using techniques that minimise mess and disruption to your household.
4. Roof Deck Preparation
Once exposed, we thoroughly inspect the roof deck and rafters to identify and address any hidden issues with the roof structure. We install high-quality waterproof underlayment, install a proper ventilation system, and upgrade your insulation if needed.
5. Roof Installation
Our roof replacement specialists will install the new materials with precision according to the manufacturer’s specifications to ensure warranty validity.
We pay careful attention to critical details around chimneys, vents, and joins. We ensure perfect integration with gutters and downpipes for complete home protection.

Upon completion, we remove all debris and roofing waste, leaving your property cleaner than we found it. A final inspection and a client walkthrough ensure your complete satisfaction before we consider the job complete.

Colorbond Roof
Colorbond roofing has become the premium choice for modern Perth homes, offering outstanding durability against our harsh climate that lasts for 40-70 years.
A roof with Colorbond steel can resist chipping, peeling, and cracking even under intense UV exposure. It’s remarkably lightweight yet incredibly strong, with thermal efficiency that can reduce your energy bills.
With over 20 designer colours available, Colorbond allows you to perfectly match or complement your home’s aesthetic and neighbourhood character.
Zincalume Roof
A Zincalume steel roof provides exceptional corrosion resistance through its aluminium-zinc alloy coating, making it ideal for Perth’s coastal suburbs.
It offers a distinctive silver-metallic appearance that weathers gracefully over time, developing a matt grey patina. It reflects more heat than traditional galvanised roofing, and weighs half that of traditional tile roofs.
With a lifespan of up to 30 years and minimal maintenance requirements, this metal roof material represents excellent value for budget-conscious homeowners.
Terracotta Tiles
Terracotta roof tiles offer a timeless aesthetic appeal with their distinctive warm orange-red colour.
They naturally withstand Perth’s intense heat and UV exposure extremely well. They provide excellent insulation properties, keeping homes cooler in summer.
Their weight requires adequate structural support, which we carefully assess before installation. While initially more expensive, terracotta can last 50+ years with proper maintenance.
Concrete Tiles
Concrete roof tiles represent an excellent balance of durability and affordability when it comes to tiled roofs in Perth.
These tiles also gain strength over time as they continue to cure, typically lasting 30-40 years in our climate with minimal maintenance.
They’re heavier than some alternatives but generally cost less than terracotta. Available in a wide range of colours and profiles to match any architectural style.
Slate Tiles
Natural slate roof tiles represent the pinnacle of luxury roofing. Completely fireproof and naturally resistant to algae and fungi, slate performs exceptionally well in Perth’s varying conditions.
The natural variations in colour and texture create a unique roof that simply cannot be replicated by manufactured materials.
Their incredible durability can exceed 100 years, making them potentially the only roof your Perth home will ever need.
