The problem

Failed pointing, porous tiles and baked coatings let water into your roof cavity long before you see a stain.

Fix it early or pay twice.

The solution

A full restoration fixes failures first, then installs a compatible sealer + coating system for long-term protection.

  1. 1

    Roof inspection

    Access, photos, moisture and wear notes. You’ll know if you need a full programme, repairs only, or maintenance.

  2. 2

    Repairs & repointing

    Fix what’s failed so coatings aren’t applied over problems.

  3. 3

    Prep & clean (where required)

    Prep for adhesion and a uniform finish.

  4. 4

    Sealing & coating system

    Compatible coats for Sydney UV and driving rain.

Restoration vs replacement — which do you actually need?

Restoration is right when your tiles are structurally sound but the coating, mortar, and surface condition have degraded. That's most Sydney roofs that "look bad."

Replacement is only needed when tiles are cracked through, broken beyond individual repair, or the substrate underneath has structurally failed — a much rarer situation.

Restoration

$3k–$15k

Right for structurally sound tiles. Adds 10–15 years of service life.

Replacement

$20k–$50k+

Only needed when the substrate has failed beyond repair.

A free inspection tells you which category yours is in — no obligation.

What to look for in a Sydney roof company

  1. 1

    Written scope before work starts

    Not a verbal estimate that changes on the day. Every job scoped in writing before a tile is touched.

  2. 2

    Public liability minimum $10M

    Pristine carries $20M. Documentation available before any job starts.

  3. 3

    Owner on the job

    Not a rotating subcontractor. Hunson is on every Pristine job — same face on the website, same face on your roof.

  4. 4

    Low-pressure soft wash on tiles

    High pressure damages terracotta and concrete tiles. Method should always be matched to the surface.

  5. 5

    Manufacturer-backed UV-rated coatings

    Coatings rated for Australian UV conditions — not imported products that degrade faster under Sydney's sun.

  6. 6

    Progress photos during the job

    So you can see what was found, what was fixed, and how the coating was applied — full transparency.

Roof restoration — common questions

A full roof restoration in Sydney starts from $2,490 ex GST — that includes the on-site inspection, tile repairs, rebedding, repointing, primer, sealer, and UV-rated coating. Targeted repairs and repointing start from $1,490. A clean and biocide treatment starts from $490. Final price is confirmed on-site after a free inspection. We never quote sight-unseen because two roofs of the same size can cost very different amounts depending on what's found.
Typically 2–5 days depending on roof size, the extent of repairs needed, and drying time between coats. Smaller roofs with minimal repairs can be done in 2 days. Larger roofs needing significant repointing and multiple coating passes take longer. The exact timeline is confirmed in your written scope before any work starts.
Inspection — access, photos, moisture and wear assessment. Written scope before any commitment. Tile repairs — crack filling, broken tile replacement, flashing checks. Rebedding & repointing — all ridge, hip and valley mortar reset and pointed. Prep & clean — surface preparation for coating adhesion. Sealer & primer — compatible base system for the topcoat. UV-rated topcoat — manufacturer-backed coating in your chosen colour. Progress photos throughout every stage.
Restoration ($3k–$15k) repairs and recoats your existing tiles to extend their life by 10–15 years — right for structurally sound tiles that have degraded in coating, mortar, and surface condition. Replacement ($20k–$50k+) removes and relays all tiles — only needed when the substrate has failed beyond repair. Most Sydney roofs that look tired need restoration, not replacement. A free inspection tells you which category yours is in.
Always. Every Pristine job is scoped in writing before a single tile is touched — including the work to be done, materials specified, and the price agreed. No verbal estimates that change on the day. You know exactly what you're getting and what it costs before the crew arrives.
