Midvale sits on the flat at the western edge of the Shire of Mundaring, grouped with the Foothills localities in the Shire's planning strategy. It is serviced ground with a lot of 1960s and 1970s project housing, which is exactly the stock roof restoration exists for.
No scarp, no acreage, no canopy problem worth writing home about. Just a suburb full of roofs that are around sixty years old.
We connect you with roof restoration specialists who work the Foothills suburbs below the scarp, where most of the stock is 1960s and 1970s project housing.
What a restoration involves
- Pressure clean to strip moss and the chalky remains of the original tile surface
- Replace cracked or broken tiles, sourced to match the existing profile
- Repoint the ridge and hip capping with modern flexible pointing
- Apply primer and two coats of roof membrane in your chosen colour
On guide pricing only, and from Australian cost guides rather than Perth rates, a full restoration on a typical Hills home usually lands in the thousands. See the cost guide for what moves the number.
Project housing roofs wear out on schedule
Estate housing built in a single period reaches the same point at the same time, and in Midvale that point arrived some years ago for most of it. The original rigid cement pointing has cracked, the concrete tiles have lost the factory surface that kept water out, and moss has taken the shaded pitch.
The good news is that this is the cheapest kind of roof to restore properly. Flat block, simple access, standard tile profiles that are easy to source, and a job that runs to three to five days on a single-storey house.
Frequently asked questions
Is my roof worth restoring or replacing?
If the tiles are sound, restoring is far cheaper than a reroof and the result lasts ten to fifteen years. Replacement is for roofs where the tiles themselves have had it, and an inspection is what tells you which.
Do I need to be home for the work?
Not usually for the roof itself, though access to power and a tap gets arranged beforehand. The roofer will tell you what they need when they quote.
Are the tiles still available?
Common profiles from this era are generally easy to source, including second-hand. Local roofers keep contacts for salvaged tiles, and a near-match in a discreet position is normal practice.
