If you’re wondering what it takes to bring your roof back to life, you’re in the right place. Roof restoration is a smarter and more affordable alternative to complete replacement—but how much does it cost in Australia? Let’s break it down for you.

National Overview

Average Cost Across Australia

  • Roof restoration typically ranges from $2,500 to $9,000, with the national average sitting around $4,500.
  • Other estimates suggest a broader range—from $2,500 to $20,000—depending on roof size, condition, materials, and scope of work.

What Influences the Price?

Several factors shape the final cost:

  • Roof size & complexity: Larger or steeper roofs cost more (though per m² cost typically drops)
  • Material type: Terracotta often costs more than concrete or metal
  • Extent of damage: More repair prep increases labour and materials
  • Accessibility & location: Difficult access or harbour-side conditions (like Sydney’s salt air) add costs
  • Additional services: Cleaning, repointing, coatings, downpipes—these all stack cost
