Terracotta Roof Restoration Adelaide
There’s something timeless about a terracotta tiled roof. It’s warm, vibrant and gives your house a timeless charm that only a few contemporary materials can match. However, even a terracotta roof requires occasional maintenance due to its exposure to the severe Adelaide weather and that’s where we come in.
Our speciality at aba ROOFING is giving terracotta roofs the kind of love and care they need. In addition to fixing issues, we take pride in being the trusted Adelaide roofers helping you in protecting a portion of your house’s identity and ensuring that your roof is waterproof, structurally sound, and long-lasting.
Our Method for Repairing Terracotta Roofs
At aba ROOFING we have worked on and installed tiled terracotta roofs on older cottages, newer construction and everything in between. Here is the Adelaide terracotta roof restoration process:
1. Roof Inspection: We begin by doing a comprehensive roof inspection where we inspect the structure for possible leaks, weathered ridge caps and broken tiles. Knowing exactly what we are dealing with is the first step towards a proper restoration, so we don’t rush this step.
2. High-Pressure Cleaning: Terracotta tiles are prone to moss, mould, and grime buildup, particularly in areas that receive shade. To expose the actual state of the tiles underneath, we use a highly effective high-pressure cleaning technique to remove years’ worth of accumulation. Additionally, this cleaning gets the surface ready for any subsequent sealing work.
3. Tile Repairs and Replacements: Cracked or broken tiles are replaced with matching terracotta tiles. We take care to match colour and profile where possible, so the final result looks seamless and not patched up, giving you a great-looking roof that also functions perfectly.
4. Repointing and Rebedding: To secure everything in place and stop movement or water intrusion, we repoint all of the ridge caps and rebed the ridge capping, where necessary, using flexible mortar, ensuring your roofing is restored across all sections.
5. Sealing (optional): Although terracotta tiles are impervious to water by nature, older tiles may eventually become porous. We provide sealing solutions with breathable roof membranes that provide protection without detracting from the aesthetic appeal of the tile or trapping moisture underneath.

Can faded terracotta tiles be painted to restore their colour?
Terracotta tiles are naturally pigmented and don’t take traditional roof paint well. Painting them can trap moisture and lead to problems down the track. Instead, we clean and, where necessary, seal them with breathable products designed for terracotta. This restores their appearance without compromising function.
How long does a terracotta roof restoration take?
It depends on the size and condition of the roof. For most Adelaide homes, restoration takes between 2 to 5 days from start to finish. We will give you a clear time estimate once we have inspected the roof.
Will my roof look brand new after a restoration?
While terracotta roof restoration won’t make your roof look factory-new, it will dramatically improve its appearance. Cracked tiles are replaced, ridge caps are reset, and the whole surface is thoroughly cleaned. Your roof will look refreshed, uniform, and clean—without losing its natural character.
How much does a terracotta roof restoration cost in Adelaide?
Costs vary depending on the roof’s size, condition, and access. A full restoration is still significantly cheaper than a new roof and adds real value to your property. We will inspect your roof and provide a clear, honest quote with no hidden extras.
Can aba ROOFING restore older or heritage tiled roofs?
Yes, we often work with older homes, including those that are heritage listed, and we take extra care to maintain their original appearance while enhancing functionality.
Do I need to replace my entire roof if a few tiles are cracked?
Broken or missing tiles can often be replaced one at a time and our team will always advise the best course of action. We will evaluate the overall state of the roof and provide input on whether a more extensive restoration or targeted repairs would be best for your situation.
