Benefits of Heritage Roof Restoration for Melville Properties
We keep the character
The whole point of a heritage roof is how it looks. We clean, repoint and repair sympathetically so an old terracotta or character-tile roof reads as original, not resurfaced - the right approach for period homes across Perth's older suburbs.
Honest about painting terracotta
A lot of heritage terracotta is best left unpainted - cleaned, repointed and, where it suits, sealed with a clear or tinted glaze rather than colour-coated. We'll tell you when a coating adds value and when it would cheapen the roof.
Tile matching, not just replacement
Old profiles are often out of production. We source and match reclaimed or profile-matched tiles for the broken ones so repairs blend in instead of standing out as modern patches.
Built for old Perth homes
Character homes from the 1920s to 1950s have their own quirks - brittle mortar, tired valleys, perished pointing. We've worked these roofs for 15+ years and carry $10M public liability.
Our Heritage Roof Restoration Process in Melville
- 1
Assess the roof and its era
We measure the roof by satellite and assess what it actually needs - the tile profile and material, the state of the pointing and valleys, and whether the character is worth preserving with a sympathetic restoration.
Why it matters: A heritage roof needs a plan that fits its age and material, not a one-size coating job.
- 2
Gentle, thorough cleaning
We clean off decades of moss, lichen and grime at a pressure that lifts the growth without blasting the face off old, softer tiles.
Why it matters: Aged tiles and mortar don't take the same brute-force cleaning as a modern concrete roof.
- 3
Repoint and repair the failures
We repoint the ridge capping with flexible modern compound, replace or reseat broken and slipped tiles with matched profiles, and address tired valleys and flashing.
Why it matters: Perished pointing and rusted valleys are where old roofs leak first.
- 4
Seal or coat, sympathetically
Depending on the roof, we finish with a clear or tinted glaze to protect the tiles, or a colour coating where the roof is concrete or already painted and a fresh finish suits it.
Why it matters: The finish should protect the roof and respect its look, not fight it.

Should I paint my heritage terracotta roof? ▾
Often no. Original terracotta usually looks best cleaned and repointed, with a clear or tinted [glaze coat](/services/glaze-coat-application/) to protect it rather than an opaque colour coating. Painting terracotta is a one-way decision, so we'll give you an honest read before you commit. See our [terracotta roof restoration guide](/posts/terracotta-roof-restoration-perth/) for the detail.
Can you match old or discontinued roof tiles? ▾
Usually, yes. Many heritage profiles are out of production, so we source reclaimed or profile-matched tiles for broken and slipped ones. The aim is a repair that blends in with the original roof rather than an obvious modern patch.
What does heritage roof restoration involve? ▾
Typically a gentle clean, ridge-cap [repointing](/services/repointing/) with flexible compound, matched tile replacements, valley and flashing repairs, and a protective seal or coating suited to the roof. It's the standard [roof restoration](/services/roof-restoration/) process applied sympathetically to an older roof.
Do you work on character homes and older suburbs? ▾
Yes. Perth's character homes across the older suburbs are a big part of what we do. We understand the quirks of 1920s to 1950s roofs - brittle mortar, perished pointing, tired valleys - and restore them without stripping their character.
Is restoration better than replacing a heritage roof? ▾
Almost always, if the tiles are structurally sound. Terracotta in particular can last 75-100+ years, so a clean, repoint and repair usually beats tearing off an original roof. We'll be honest if a roof is genuinely past restoring.
