Repair, restore or replace?

Most homeowners call us with a symptom: a leak, a cracked ridge, a faded roof. The right fix depends on the condition of the whole roof, which is what the free inspection is for. As a rough guide:

What our customers say

Best roofing company in Melbourne. I’ve never seen a safer company who cares so much about their customers.

Jannah RashwanRoyce Roofing customer

After some storm damage, a quick call to Royce and they come out the next day to repair our broken ridge cap, no fuss. Thanks Jason and Royce.

Jason NRoyce Roofing customer

Luke’s team from Royce did a great job of rebedding and pointing my ridge capping. Adam did a detailed quote after closely inspecting to roof and discussed options and costs. Once I accepted the quote a team was engaged quickly to do the work. It was done professionally and quickly without compromising quality. And they cleaned up everything upon completion.

Common questions

Do you give free roof inspections?

Yes. We inspect the roof, show you what we find, and give you a straight answer on whether it needs a repair, a restoration or a replacement, followed by a written quote. Book through the contact form or call 1300 992 911.

What kind of roofs do you work on?

Tiled roofs are our specialty: terracotta and concrete. We repair, restore, paint and replace them, and run our own tile yards in Mulgrave and Doveton, so we can usually match an existing roof from stock.

Should I repair, restore or replace my roof?

Repair when the problem is local, such as a few broken tiles or one leaking valley. Restore when the tiles are sound but the pointing, valleys and coating have worn out. Replace when tiles are failing across the roof or the battens and frame need work.

Do you offer a warranty?

Every Royce Roofing restoration comes with a 7-year warranty. We explain what is covered for repairs and replacements in your written quote.

Can I buy roof tiles from you without the installation?

Yes. Our yards supply homeowners, handymen and trade roofers every day. Send a photo of the front and back of a tile, or bring a sample to 5-6 Rosemary Court, Mulgrave, and we will find the match.

How do you keep your crews safe on the roof?

Our crews set up our own temporary safety rail, ladder guards and, where needed, skylight safety nets before work starts, and every crew member holds a working at heights qualification.
