Mount Nasura sits between the Armadale plain and the scarp proper, which is exactly how it reads on the ground: more conventional than Bedfordale and Roleystone above it, more treed and more varied than the flat suburbia below. Blocks are a reasonable size and the housing is mostly of the district's older vintage.
The roofs are the familiar thing: concrete tile with original rigid ridge mortar that has cracked, and a surface that eroded a long time ago.
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.
A middle-ground suburb, and a straightforward roof
Mount Nasura does not need a slope story or an acreage story. The roofs here are the standard restoration case, and the whole value of the job sits in whether the preparation is honest. That means the valleys and gutters cleared of whatever the surrounding trees have put in them, cracked and slipped tiles replaced, the ridge and hip lines repointed with flexible compound, then a sealer and two top coats.
Where quotes go wrong on a roof like this is the shortcuts: no sealer, one top coat, no tile repairs. The cost guide sets out the guide ranges so a number that is too good to be true looks like one.
Frequently asked questions
How do I know whether the pointing has failed?
Grey mortar crumbs in the gutters and on the paths after rain, visible cracking along the ridge lines, and ridge caps that look out of line from the ground.
What should a proper quote include?
Cleaning, tile repairs, repointing or rebedding, sealer, the number of top coats, edge protection, and any extras such as solar panel removal and refit. Itemised, not a single figure.
Is the Perth Hills name right for Mount Nasura?
The City of Armadale has run the Perth Hills Armadale Visitor Centre since 2006, so the name is the City's own. Geographically Mount Nasura sits between the plain and the scarp, and this site covers the scarp side.
