How Much Does a Roof Replacement Cost in Adelaide in 2025?

Noticing leaks or seeing signs of wear on your roof? You are probably wondering—how much does a roof replacement actually cost? The truth is, it depends on a few key factors like the size of your roof, the materials you choose, and labour costs. But do not worry—we are here to break it all down in a simple and straightforward way!

So, let’s take a closer look at what you can expect to pay and what factors come into play.

How Much Do Roofing Materials Cost?

The type of material you pick is one of the biggest cost factors. Here is a rough guide on what different roofing materials cost per square metre (including installation):

  • Colorbond Steel: $45 to $100 per m² – A durable, modern, and energy-efficient option.
  • Concrete Tiles: $45 to $80 per m² – A classic, budget-friendly choice.
  • Terracotta Tiles: $75 to $140 per m² – Looks fantastic and lasts ages but costs more.
  • Slate Tiles: $200 to $500 per m² – Luxurious and incredibly durable but definitely on the pricey side.

Not sure which material is right for your home? The team at Roof Revival is happy to chat and help you decide based on your style, budget, and long-term needs.

What About Labour Costs?

Labour is another big part of the cost, and it depends on how complex your roof is. In Adelaide, labour costs for a roof replacement generally range between $45 to $65 per hour. If your roof is steep, has tricky angles, or is hard to access, it might take longer to replace, which can increase the total cost.

With Roof Revival, you get top-quality workmanship at fair prices, and we always make sure your roof is installed efficiently and correctly the first time.

What’s the Total Cost of a Roof Replacement?

For an average-sized roof (about 200 square metres), here is what you are looking at:

  • Colorbond Steel Roof: $9,000 to $20,000
  • Concrete Tile Roof: $9,000 to $16,000
  • Terracotta Tile Roof: $15,000 to $28,000
  • Slate Tile Roof: $50,000 to $104,000

Keep in mind, every home is different. If you want an exact number, Roof Revival offers free, no-obligation quotes so you know what to expect before committing.

What Else Can Affect the Cost?

There are a few other things that can impact the final price of your new roof:

  • Roof Complexity: The more angles and steep pitches your roof has, the more labour-intensive (and expensive) it will be.
  • Structural Repairs: If there is damage or wood rot under the roof, it will need fixing before the new roof goes on.
  • Accessibility: Hard-to-reach roofs might require extra equipment, which can increase costs.
  • Insulation & Sarking: Upgrading insulation can make your home more energy-efficient but adds to the initial cost.
  • Coastal Homes: If you live near the beach, you might need corrosion-resistant materials, which can be slightly pricier.

I HAVE A LEAKING ROOF DO I HAVE WARANTY ON FIXED LEAKS?

We regret to inform you that we cannot provide a warranty specifically for roof leaks. Roof leaks can
be exceptionally challenging to detect and diagnose due to a variety of factors, including:

1. Complexity of Detection: Roof leaks often originate from hidden or unexpected areas, making it
difficult to pinpoint the exact source without comprehensive and sometimes invasive investigation.
  
2. Environmental Factors: Roofs are exposed to various weather conditions, such as heavy rain
and wind, which can unpredictably impact the roof's integrity over time.
3. Material Aging and Wear: Over time, roofing materials naturally age and may develop
weaknesses that are not immediately apparent during inspections. Can be very difficult and time
consuming to detect.
4. Previous Repairs and Installations: The condition and quality of previous repairs or installations
can significantly influence the occurrence and detection of leaks, adding complexity to warranty
coverage.
Despite these challenges, please be assured that our team is committed to addressing any roof leaks
that may arise. We will always work to our best ability to identify and solve roof leaks promptly and
effectively, ensuring the longevity and performance of your roof.

I WANT TO INSTALL SOLAR PANELS WHATS THE BEST PROCESS TO HAVE MY ROOF FIXED BEFORE SOLAR IS INSTALLED?

The best process to do this is to have your roof high pressure washed first. After this is done contact
your solar company and ask them to install rails and wiring. When this is finished, we will fully restore
the roof and leave you with spare coated tiles and touch up paint. The solar company final task to
connect the panels to the railing.

MY ROOF HAS SOLAR PANELS ON THEM. CAN MY ROOF STILL BE RESTORED?

Yes, he majority of roof we restore now days do have solar panels. We high pressure the roof and
rinse all panels. When it’s time for painting we cover all panels with a plastic film and paint underneath
the panels, so all visible tiles are coated with primer and colour.

DO ALL MY RIDGE-CAPS NEED TO BE REBEDDED?

Ridge caps only require rebedding if caps are lifting and mortar is loose and falling away from
ridgecap and tile. If we were to rebed solid caps we end up breaking a lot of caps and tiles
underneath.

HOW LONG DOES THE ROOF PAINTING PROCESS TAKE?

The painting process takes one day to apply all coats weather depending. So long as the temperature
is between 13 degrees and 33 degrees Celsius, we will be able to complete the paint applications in
one day.

MY ROOFTILES ARE PORUOUS HOW CAN WE ACHIEVE A GOOD PAINT FINISH?

If your tiles are porous this means that they are retaining water which adds significant weight to your
roof and roofing timbers, leading to potential leaks and structural issues. To prevent this we apply a
maxi build primer to the rooftiles when painting. This Ensures that the tiles are coated very thick. All
cracks and rough surfaces on the tiles are filled in turn giving the finish much more appealing and
bolder.

WHY DO MY SOLAR PANNELS NEED REGULAR CLEANING?

All solar panels rely on a clean surface to be able to work to their optimum capacity. When the surface
gets dirty it restricts the panels’ ability to capture sunlight efficiently and will therefore not produce as
much electricity. Regular cleaning is not only advised for productivity of the panel but also in most
cases to adhere to warranty requirements Aswell.

WHY DO MY GUTTERS REQUIRE REGULAR CLEANING?

Over time all leaf matter and moss that grow or falls on the roof will end up in the gutters and then
downpipes. This can subsequently cause large build ups and blockages causing water to be pushed
up and over the gutter inevitably leading to leaks/drainage to occur. Long term this will lead to the
further damage causing the gutters to become corroded, rust and eventually fail completely.

WHATS THE PURPOSE OF WHIRLY VENTS?

Whirly vents help your roof space breathe, in turn saving you money on your energy costs.
