About this service
Updated October 2026
Perth Hills Roof Restoration is a local referral service for the Perth Hills, Western Australia. It does one thing: when you need roof restoration work, it puts you in touch with one of the experienced, insured local roofers who works your suburb.
We cover four local governments: the Shire of Mundaring, the City of Kalamunda, and the scarp-side parts of the City of Swan and the City of Armadale. In practice that is the Kalamunda and Mundaring town centres, the orchard localities, the Foothills suburbs below the scarp, the Great Eastern Highway villages, Gidgegannup and Brigadoon, and the Armadale scarp.
Serpentine Jarrahdale is sometimes counted as Perth Hills by the tourism bodies. It is roughly 50 km south of Mundaring and no roofer is driving that in a working day, so it is not part of the area covered here. The same goes for the Swan Valley floor and the plain suburbia below the Armadale scarp.
How it works
You send the quote form with your suburb and what you need. Your details go to a local roofer who services your area, and they call you back with a price. Quotes are free, there is no obligation, and you deal with them directly from there.
The fine print, plainly
Perth Hills Roof Restoration is not a trade business and does not carry out the work itself. Jobs are referred to independent local contractors, licensed or registered where the work requires it.
WA has no roofing-specific licence class, and that is not the same thing as roof work being unregulated. What matters is how your job is classified, and Building and Energy's own guidance on builder work notes that builder work can include re-roofing.
The regulator is Building and Energy. Builder work is building work that needs a building permit and is valued at $20,000 or more, or $50,000 or more for a Class 10a building, meaning a shed, carport or private garage, and it must be carried out by a registered building contractor or an approved owner-builder. Work that needs no building permit can be carried out by anyone whatever it costs. So there are two questions to ask rather than one. Ask your local government, which is the permit authority, whether your job needs a building permit. Then ask the contractor what registration they hold and check it with Building and Energy before you sign anything. Insurance and an itemised written quote are worth checking too, but they are not a substitute for that.
Plumbing in WA is licensed by the Plumbers Licensing Board, and the regime turns on what counts as plumbing work rather than on a dollar value, so there is no job-size threshold below which it stops applying. Whether roof drainage, gutters and downpipes fall inside licensed plumbing work is not something this page will assert either way. Ask the contractor what licence or registration your job needs, and confirm it with Building and Energy and with your local government before the work starts.
On roof coating we will not give you an answer either way. Whether Building and Energy treats roof coating as painting work under WA's painter registration is not settled, so saying a registration is required and saying one is not would both be invented. Ask the contractor in writing what registration they hold for the coating part of your job and check whatever they give you with Building and Energy.
Price ranges published on this site are guide figures drawn from Australian cost guides, not Perth-specific published rates, and the contractor's own written quote is the price that counts.
