About roofers in Brisbane
Every roofer listed here holds a current QBCC licence in the class that matches the work — Roof Tiling for tiled roofs, or Roof and Wall Cladding for metal roofing — checked against the official register rather than taken on trust. Prices below are observed Greater Brisbane quotes for 2026, split by job, because a restoration, a full re-roof per square metre and a single leak repair are very different numbers. In Brisbane, the roof is the part of the house that has to survive the November–April storm season, so we focus on the jobs that actually protect you: restoration versus re-roof, and keeping gutters and flashings storm-ready.
Brisbane-specific roofing realities: the roof is the front line against the November–April storm season, when severe thunderstorms bring damaging wind, heavy rain and hail — so tie-downs, flashings, gutters and downpipes all matter, and roofers are busiest (and priciest) right after big storms. Two roof types dominate: concrete or terracotta tiles on many post-war homes, and Colorbond-style metal on Queenslanders and newer builds. Intense subtropical UV degrades roof coatings and seals, and high humidity plus shade grows moss and lichen on tiles, which is what roof restorations address. Undersized or blocked gutters overflow in Brisbane's intense downpours and are a common cause of water getting into eaves and walls — leaf-heavy suburbs need gutter guard and regular clearing. On high-set timber Queenslanders, roof access and the age of the structure add to the job. After any major storm, get loose ridge caps, lifted sheets and damaged flashings checked before the next downpour.
Typical prices in Brisbane
Ranges reflect quotes observed locally — not national averages, not advertised "from" prices.
| Service | Typical range (A$) |
|---|---|
Tile roof restoration (clean, re-bed/re-point ridges, re-coat) Typical Greater Brisbane quoted range, 2026 — pressure-clean, replace broken tiles, re-bed and re-point ridge capping and apply protective coating on a standard home; steep or large roofs sit at the top. | A$3,000 — A$8,500 |
Metal (Colorbond-style) re-roof, supply + install (per m²) Typical Greater Brisbane quoted range, 2026 — replacing an existing roof with new metal sheeting incl. removal; roof pitch, access, insulation and new battens affect the rate. Removing old tiles to switch to metal adds cost. | A$60 — A$120 |
Concrete tile re-roof, supply + install (per m²) Typical Greater Brisbane quoted range, 2026 — full replacement with new tiles incl. removal and sarking; heavier than metal, so the structure and battens must suit. Terracotta tiles run higher again. | A$80 — A$150 |
Roof leak repair / minor repair Typical Greater Brisbane quoted range, 2026 — locating and fixing a leak, replacing broken tiles or resealing a flashing; access and roof height drive the range. Post-storm demand can push wait times and prices up. | A$250 — A$900 |
Gutter replacement, supply + install (per lineal metre) Typical Greater Brisbane quoted range, 2026 — new Colorbond guttering; fascia repair, two-storey access and gutter guard are additional. Correct sizing matters for Brisbane's intense downpours. | A$30 — A$70 |
Common questions
It depends on the roof's condition, not just its age. A restoration (clean, replace broken tiles, re-bed and re-point ridge capping, re-coat) suits a structurally sound tile roof that has simply weathered — it's far cheaper and refreshes the look and seal. A full re-roof is warranted when the tiles or sheets themselves are failing, there's widespread rusting or cracking, persistent leaks, or you're changing material (e.g. tile to Colorbond). A licensed roofer should inspect the battens, sarking and structure — not just the surface — before recommending one over the other. Get more than one opinion for a big spend.
Usually because they're blocked, undersized, or poorly fallen. Brisbane's storm-season downpours are intense and short, so gutters and downpipes have to shift a lot of water fast — leaf litter, a flat or reversed fall, or too few downpipes will all cause overflow, and overflowing water gets into eaves and walls. In leaf-heavy suburbs, gutter guard plus regular clearing before storm season helps. If gutters overflow even when clean, they may be undersized for the roof area or need more downpipes — worth a roofer's assessment, because water damage costs far more than the fix.
From the ground, look for lifted or missing sheets, dislodged or cracked ridge caps, hail dents in metal, bent or overflowing gutters, and any new water stains on ceilings or in eaves. Don't climb a wet or storm-damaged roof yourself — it's dangerous, especially on high-set homes. Book a licensed roofer to inspect before the next downpour, because a small dislodged flashing or ridge cap lets water in fast during the next storm. Note that storm damage is often insurable, so photograph everything and check your policy; a reputable roofer can quote for an insurance claim.
For roofing work over $3,300 in labour and materials, yes, and the class depends on the material: Roof Tiling for tiled roofs, and Roof and Wall Cladding for metal roofing and cladding (Colorbond and similar). Matching the class to the work matters — a licence for one doesn't automatically cover the other. Qualifying residential jobs bring Queensland Home Warranty cover, which an unlicensed cash operator can't provide, and the roof is the last place you want no recourse if the work fails in a storm. Ask for the QBCC number and check the class on the free register; every roofer on this page links to it.
