Roof Tiler Melbourne
Expert roof tiling for new installs, re-tiling, and tile replacement using concrete and terracotta systems.
Roof Tiling That’s Built To Handle Melbourne Weather
A tiled roof is more than a layer of tiles. It’s a complete system designed to shed water reliably through Melbourne’s changing conditions, from heavy rain and wind to hot days and sudden temperature shifts. When roof tiling is done properly, tiles sit straight, overlap correctly, and direct water into the gutter line as intended. When it’s rushed, small issues around valleys, ridge caps, or junctions can lead to leaks and ongoing maintenance.
At Wellington Roof Repairs, we provide roof tiling in Melbourne with a practical focus on performance. We assess your roof type, the condition of existing materials, and the best tile option for your home. Then we carry out the work with careful alignment, sound finishing, and the right detailing in the areas where roofs commonly fail.
Tile Roofing Options And What’s Included
Not every tile roof is the same. The best choice depends on the style you want, the condition of the roof structure, and whether you’re installing new, re-tiling, or replacing damaged tiles. We’ll recommend a solution that suits your home and budget, while keeping water management and long-term durability front of mind.
Concrete Roof Tiles
Concrete tiles are a popular option across Melbourne because they offer a strong balance of durability and value. They perform well when installed correctly and can suit a wide range of property styles. As with any tiled roof, the key is correct set-out, secure installation, and proper finishing at ridges, hips, and junction points.
Terracotta Roof Tiles
Terracotta tiles are known for their classic look and long-lasting colour. They’re often chosen for heritage homes and properties where aesthetics matter. Terracotta can also be more brittle than concrete, so careful handling and correct placement are important. If you’re repairing an older terracotta roof, matching profiles and maintaining a consistent finish can be just as important as the technical repair.
Re-Tiling And Tile Replacement
Sometimes you don’t need a full re-tile. If tiles are cracked, slipped, or missing in localised areas, targeted replacement can be the right solution. The biggest challenge with older roofs is often finding the closest match for existing tiles. Where possible, we work to match profiles and finishes so repairs blend in and the roof remains consistent.
For larger issues, re-tiling may be the smarter long-term option. This is often the case when there are widespread tile failures, repeated leaks, or the roof has reached a point where ongoing patch repairs no longer make sense.

Our Roof Tiling Process
Each roof is measured and planned so the tile layout works properly across the full roof line. A tidy finish starts with correct set-out, and durable performance comes down to details in the areas most exposed to water and wind.
Inspection And Planning
We assess roof pitch, tile type, roof condition, and any known trouble spots such as valleys, penetrations, and junction points.
Preparation
We set up safe access, protect surrounding areas, and stage materials properly so work can be completed efficiently and safely.
Underlay/Sarking And Battens
Where required for the job, we address underlay or sarking and ensure the roof base is ready for tiling.
Tile Installation And Water Path Detailing
Tiles are installed with consistent alignment and overlap so water is directed down the roof line and into the gutter area as intended.
Ridge And Hip Finishing, Final Checks, And Clean-Up
We complete ridge and hip finishing and ensure all key areas are secured and sealed appropriately
Cracked Or Slipped Roof Tiles After Heavy Weather?
Tiled roofs often show issues after storms, strong winds, or prolonged heavy rain. If you’ve noticed tiles out of place, water marks on ceilings, or leaks appearing near valleys or roof junctions, it’s worth acting early. The sooner the cause is identified, the easier it is to prevent further damage.
What We Offer
Common Signs Your Tiled Roof Needs Attention
Some warning signs are easy to spot from the ground, such as missing tiles, slipped rows, or visible cracks. Others show up inside the home. Damp patches on ceilings, musty smells in roof spaces, or leaks that appear only during wind-driven rain can all point to tiled roof issues.
Valleys and roof penetrations are common trouble spots because they handle concentrated water flow. Ridge capping and pointing can also deteriorate over time, leading to movement and water entry. Even if the tiles themselves look fine, a small failure at a junction point can cause a persistent leak.
If you’re unsure whether the issue is localised or widespread, an inspection and clear advice is the best first step.
Dependable & Sincere Company
Are Roof Tiles 100% Waterproof?
Roof tiles are designed to shed water, but tiles alone aren’t the full waterproofing system. A tiled roof relies on proper overlaps, correct tile placement, underlay/sarking where required, and properly finished valleys and flashings. That’s why a roof can leak even when the tiles appear intact.
Age can also play a part. Over time, tiles can become porous or develop small cracks, and finishing materials around ridges and junctions can weaken. The right solution depends on where water is getting in and how the roof system has been finished.

Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to the most common questions about our services right here.
What is roof tiling?
Roof tiling is the installation of roofing tiles—commonly concrete or terracotta—laid in an overlapping pattern to form a durable roof covering, supported by underlay/sarking, battens, flashings, and ridge finishing.
What is meant by a tiled roof?
A tiled roof uses roof tiles as the primary covering, rather than sheet metal. The system includes tiles, junction detailing, and water-control components that help direct water off the roof safely.
How do you start tiling a roof?
Roof tiling starts with correct planning and set-out, preparing the roof base, and establishing the first course at the eaves so tiles align and overlap correctly across the roof.
Are roof tiles 100% waterproof?
Tiles shed most rainwater, but waterproofing depends on the full roof system—overlaps, underlay/sarking, valleys, flashings, and ridge finishing.
What’s the difference between concrete and terracotta roof tiles?
Concrete tiles are generally durable and cost-effective, while terracotta tiles offer a classic look and long-lasting colour. The best choice depends on style, budget, and roof conditions.
Can you match older roof tiles for repairs?
In many cases, yes. Matching depends on availability and the specific profile. We’ll advise on the closest practical match.
