Our Complete Roof Extension and New Roof Process
Safety rails
Safety comes first on every job. Before any roofing work starts, we install safety rails and edge protection around the roof. This protects our team and keeps your property and family safe while we work. It also lets us work steadily and carefully at height, which means a better finish.
Supply battens and new tiles
Next, we supply and deliver all the materials to site. This includes new roof battens and your chosen tiles. We match the tiles to your existing roof or to your extension design, so the new section blends in. Materials are loaded onto the roof safely and stored so they stay dry and undamaged until installation.
Install battens and new tiles
Our roofers fix the battens first. They form the frame that holds your tiles in place. Then we lay each tile by hand, row by row. We keep the lines straight and the overlaps correct so water runs off the roof as it should. On an extension, we tie the new roof into the existing one so the join is neat and sealed.
Rebedding and repointing ridge caps
Last, we finish the ridges. We rebed the ridge caps in fresh mortar and repoint the joints. This locks the caps in place and seals the highest, most exposed part of your roof against wind and rain. Strong ridge work also helps the whole roof last longer.
Roof Types We Build and Extend
Concrete Tile Extensions
Concrete tiles are the most common roof across Melbourne's South Eastern and Eastern suburbs. We source concrete tiles to match your existing profile, then fix them on new battens tied into the original roof.
Terracotta Tile Extensions
Older terracotta weathers to a colour that new tiles can't replicate straight away. We match the profile, select the closest colour and handle the brittle tiles carefully at the join, or restore the whole roof for a seamless finish.
Extension With Full Roof Restoration
For older roofs, we build the extension first, then clean, rebed, repoint and apply our 4-coat paint system across the entire roof, so the extension and original roof finish in one colour.
New Tiled Roofs for New Homes
Complete tiled roof installations for new builds, from battens and tiles to valleys, flashings and ridge capping.
When Does Your Home Need a New Roof or Roof Extension?
These are the most common reasons Melbourne homeowners call us about a new roof or roof extension:
- You're adding a bedroom, family room or rear extension to your home
- You're building a new home and need a tiled roof installed
- An older extension has a mismatched roof that stands out from the street
- The join between an extension and the main roof leaks in heavy rain
- Your existing roof has too many cracked or broken tiles to restore economically
- The roof has already been restored once and is failing again
- You're enclosing a verandah or alfresco area under a tiled roof
If you're planning an extension, talk to us early. We can advise on tile matching and roof pitch before your plans are finalised, which saves time and money later.

FAQs
It depends on the size of the extension, the roof pitch, the complexity of the join, tile matching and whether you restore the whole roof at the same time. We give you a written quote after a free on-site inspection.
Yes. We source tiles to match your existing profile and colour. On older roofs where weathering makes an exact colour match impossible, restoring and painting the whole roof gives a seamless finish.
Most new roof installations are completed within one to two weeks, depending on size and complexity. Extensions are usually quicker, and we confirm the timeframe in your quote.
Usually, yes. An extension is building work, so a building permit is generally required, normally arranged by your builder or a registered building surveyor. We build your roof to the approved plans.
We install concrete and terracotta tiles from established Australian suppliers, chosen to match your existing roof or your new home's design.
Every new roof and extension comes with our 10-year written workmanship guarantee, plus the manufacturer's warranty on materials.
