Re-Roofing is the process of removing all old roof tiles or roof sheeting and then replacing with new.
Re-Roofing is required when the roof tiles or metal roof sheeting are deteriorated to the point where it is no longer fit for purpose. We provide this service on existing residential, commercial and strata properties. At Ivy Roofing, we specialise in providing expert Tile roofing services in Sydney for the replacement of tile roofs on existing dwellings.
Ivy Roofing, the roofing specialists, are your expert tile roofers in Sydney, offering the latest products from Boral, Monier (Concrete & Terracotta) and Bristile (Concrete & Terracotta). These companies are well known for their very high quality and excellent range of tile profile and colours. We can supply and install a variety of suitable profiles and colours, tailored to your home, business, strata community or investment property.
Terracotta and cement tiles provide a beautiful finish to roofs.Terracotta is contemporary by design and tiles come in a wide variety of styles (shapes, glazed/unglazed etc). While they can be more expensive, the major appeal of terracotta is
its overall appearance and long lifespan if installed correctly.
Cement tiles provide an alternative material and advantages include becoming stronger with age, lichen resistance and
availability in a large range of colours and styles. Both types of tiled roofs are equally popular in Sydney, so it
ultimately comes down to personal preference and budget.
Our re-roofing services give your old, tired roof a fresh look as well as a new lease on life. We achieve this by removing and disposing of your existing roof covering, battens and sarking. If your roof is asbestos we can arrange a fully-licenced and accredited contractor to remove and dispose of this dangerous material. We work closely with these companies to provide
you with a seamless roof replacement from start to finish.
As with our new metal roofs, we have also completed thousands of tile roofing projects during our 13+ years in the business. As a result, our tradesmen are the best in the business, which you will see reflected in the testimonials from our clients, highlighting our exceptional quality of work and commitment to customer service and satisfaction.

We don’t know. Clay tile roofs date back to Neolithic China, and many ancient structures with clay tile roofs still exist. And, in Europe and Asia, roof tiles have been the primary roofing product for hundreds of years. Both concrete and clay tile roofing systems, when installed properly, withstand weather conditions that begin to deteriorate other roofs the day they are installed. In general, a tile roof – concrete or clay – can reasonably be expected to outlast the building it protects.
Yes. Unlike other materials, such as metal, which may rust corrode, warp, flake, peel and dent over time, concrete tiles gradually improve in strength over several decades. This is caused by a hydration reaction between the water and cement.
No. Even in the most extreme saturation tests, the added weight of water absorbed by concrete tiles is only a maximum of 10%, and in real-world practice much less at around 5%. Put simply: it’s no big deal

The roof of your building is one of its most important components, so you can’t afford to let it fall into disrepair. A regular inspection will ensure that any roof maintenance can be carried out before it has the potential to cause irreversible damage. A specialist will take a closer look at all the aspects of your roof, before recommending any work that needs to be undertaken.
There are several signs that you need to look out for if you suspect that a tiled roof repair might be necessary. Damp areas or leaks inside your building suggest that there could be a problem with the roof. It’s also not uncommon for tiles to become dislodged or fall off entirely, especially in bad weather. Don’t delay in carrying out roof repairs, as it could lead to further damage in the future.
Fun Fact:
TERRACOTTA – HANDCRAFTED AND COLOUR NEVER FADES
Terracotta is crafted from clay grounded from the earth. There’s a richness and depth of colour with terracotta so it will never fade, ensuring the beauty, value and integrity of your home is preserved for decades to come.
Terracotta has been used for almost six thousand years and recently we found the 8th Wonder of the World, The Terracotta Army in China, which is over 2000 years old and immaculately preserved. The proven heritage and enduring beauty is why the industry chooses to put Terracotta on their own homes.
If you respect the materials you surround yourself with and are looking to lower your footprint on the earth, you can feel good knowing you’re making the right decision with Terracotta. The thermal properties, breathability, less mould, noise control, colour longevity, durability and low-maintenance properties will add immense value to your home.
