Our common residential pricing includes gutter cleaning from $250 + GST for single-storey homes, gutter replacement from $2,000 to $3,500 for single-storey homes, and roof leak repairs from $260 to $900.

We can assess suspected asbestos roofing and arrange licensed asbestos removal where required. Asbestos should not be cut, drilled, pressure cleaned or disturbed without the right controls, especially on older Perth homes. If asbestos is suspected, we will explain the next step before any roof sheets, eaves or related materials are handled. The safest approach is to identify it early and include proper removal in the quote.

Yes, our roofing and gutter specialists are licensed, experienced and insured for the work they carry out. This matters because roof repairs, guttering, downpipes, flashing, roof plumbing and re-roofing all need to be completed safely and correctly. We do not treat roof work as a basic handyman job. If you’re comparing quotes, always check licensing, insurance, inclusions and warranty terms before choosing the cheapest price.

We work with Colorbond®, Zincalume®, aluminium, steel, tile roofing components, metal roof sheets, gutters, downpipes, flashing, ridge capping, roof vents, whirlybirds and patio roofing materials. For Perth homes, Colorbond® is one of the most common gutter and roofing choices because it suits local heat, rain and coastal conditions when installed correctly. Gutter materials and profiles are selected based on roof type, water flow, fascia condition, property style and budget. We will recommend the option that suits the property, not just the cheapest material.

Yes, it is usually safe to stay at home while roofing or gutter work is being carried out. Most work happens outside, but you should expect noise, ladders, tools, vehicles and trades moving around the property. Keep children and pets away from the work area until the job is complete. For larger roofing jobs, we will explain any access limits, noise or disruption before starting.

No, you usually do not need to be home as long as we have safe access to the roof, gutters, driveway and yard. Gates should be unlocked, pets secured and vehicles moved away from the work area. We take photos after all work is completed so you can see the finished result. For rental properties, we can also coordinate access with tenants or property managers.

Yes, we install and repair roof ventilation, whirlybirds and roof flashing, and can advise on skylight options where currently available. Roof flashing repairs typically start from around $400 to $1,200, while small ridge and roof ventilation-related repairs are usually assessed during inspection. 

Yes, we clean up after every roofing and gutter job before leaving site. For gutter cleaning, debris removed from the roof and gutters is cleared from the work area, and completion photos are provided. For gutter replacement and installation, old gutters, brackets and removed materials are normally taken away as part of the job. The property should be left tidy, safe and ready to use.

Yes, we provide a 2-year workmanship warranty on completed roofing and gutter work. This covers workmanship on the agreed scope of work, but does not cover unrelated storm damage, blocked gutters, ageing materials, pre-existing issues or new problems outside the job. Your written quote will confirm the specific warranty terms before work begins.

The easiest way to know what service you need is to book a roof or gutter inspection so we can check the issue properly. A ceiling stain may be caused by cracked tiles, failed flashing, blocked gutters, rusted valleys, loose ridge capping or poor drainage. Small repairs may cost from $150 to $1,250, while full gutter replacement usually starts from $2,000 for a standard single-storey home. We will explain whether you need a repair, clean, replacement or larger roofing job before you approve anything.

Yes, we follow Australian and WA safety standards for roofing and gutter work. Roof work may require ladders, harnesses, edge protection, scaffolding or other access controls depending on height, pitch and site conditions. Wet roofs, brittle tiles, old roof sheets and steep access are treated as safety risks, not shortcuts. We assess access before starting so the job can be completed safely and properly.

Some emergency inspections, temporary weatherproofing and urgent leak checks can be completed during wet weather, but major repairs, gutter installation, re-roofing and sealing work usually need safe dry conditions. Wet tiles and metal sheets are slippery, and sealants or flashing repairs may not perform properly if rushed in heavy rain. During Perth winter, urgent leaks are prioritised, while larger work is scheduled for the next safe weather window. If water is entering the home, call first so temporary protection can be arranged where possible.

Building approval may be required for re-roofing projects in WA if the roof’s weight, structure, shape or tie-down requirements are changed. Replacing roof cladding with the same type of material is usually more straightforward, while changing from tiles to metal roofing or making structural changes may require a building permit.

We will assess the likely approval requirements during the quoting process and let you know if permits, engineering advice or further assessments are needed before work begins.

Yes, we work with property managers, landlords and rental properties across Perth. We can inspect leaks, clean gutters, replace rusted gutters, repair storm damage, provide photos and supply clear quotes for owner approval.

Most minor roofing or gutter jobs in Perth take 2–6 hours, while larger projects can take 1–5 days. Gutter cleaning, small leak repairs, downpipe repairs and minor flashing work are often completed the same day. Gutter replacement, roof restoration, re-roofing and new roof installation usually take longer, depending on roof size, access, pitch, materials and weather. After inspecting your property, we confirm the expected schedule before work starts so you can plan around it.

You can get started by calling us or submitting a free quote request with your property type, suburb, service needed and any photos of the issue. For gutter cleaning, we can usually quote quickly because pricing starts from $250 + GST for single-storey homes and $360 + GST for double-storey homes. For repairs, gutter replacement or re-roofing, we inspect the roofline, access, materials and safety requirements before giving a firm price. Once approved, we book the job around access, urgency and weather.
