A well-planned tile roof can help your home handle the seasons with confidence. Whether you are building, renovating or sorting out leaks, our crew is ready to help.
Why tile roofing suits Kyogle
Tile roofing has been a favourite across regional New South Wales for decades. It has a classic look, a wide choice of colours and profiles, and it sits comfortably in both older streets and new estates. Here is why many locals choose it.
- Timeless street appeal
Concrete and terracotta tiles give a classic, solid look that works on cottages, farmhouses and modern builds. - Good acoustic comfort
Tile roofs can help soften outside noise, which makes indoor spaces feel calmer. - Repairable in sections
A single cracked or slipped tile can often be replaced without major disruption. - Colour and profile range
From soft greys and charcoals to rich terracotta tones, there are plenty of options to match your home.
If you want a roof with character and a finish that feels at home in Kyogle, tiles are well worth a closer look.
Concrete tiles vs terracotta tiles
Both options have their place. We can talk you through the differences on site, but here is a quick overview.
- Concrete tiles
Popular for their value, variety and sturdy feel. Available in many profiles and colours. Often chosen for renovations and new builds where a modern colour palette is preferred. - Terracotta tiles
Known for rich, long-lasting colour and a traditional look. Often used on heritage homes or projects where a classic style is the goal.
Your choice will come down to budget, style and the look you want from the street. We bring samples, hold them up against your brick or cladding and help you visualise the result.
Tile roofing services we provide
New tile roofs
Building a new home or secondary dwelling. We work from your plans, help you select tile type and profile, and install the complete roof system. That includes sarking where specified, valley trays, flashings and tidy ridge capping for a clean finish.
Re-roofing and conversions
If the old roof has reached the end of its life, we remove tired materials, check the structure and install a new tiled roof with updated underlay, valleys and flashings. The goal is a fresh, weather-ready result with minimal fuss.
Repairs and leak finding
Drips in heavy rain—water stains on ceilings. We track down the cause and sort it. That can include cracked tiles, slipped tiles, tired pointing, blocked valleys, worn valley irons or old, improvised penetrations.
Ridge capping, bedding and pointing
Ridges and hips keep water out along the roof lines. We reset or replace bedding where needed and apply flexible pointing for a neat, sealed finish.
Valley replacement and cleaning
Valleys collect a lot of leaf litter in Kyogle. We can clean out debris, improve water paths and replace rusted valley trays with new, properly set metal.
Gutters and downpipes
A roof is only as good as its drainage. We install matching gutters and downpipes, set the right falls and position outlets to move water away fast during summer storms.
Roof cleaning and gentle maintenance
Dirt, lichen, and leaf litter build up over time. We provide careful cleaning that respects tiles and flashings, then suggest simple habits to keep things tidy.
Local factors we plan around in Kyogle
- Heavy rainfall events
Summer storms can arrive quickly. We look closely at valley capacity, downpipe sizing and outlet positions so water has a clear path off the roof. - Humidity and heat
Underlay, ventilation and tile colour can influence comfort. We discuss options that may help your home feel better across the seasons. - Wind exposure
Ridge lines and roof height matter. We use fixing methods suited to your site conditions. - Surrounding trees
Leaf drop can block valleys and gutters. We can fit sensible leaf guards and show you easy ways to keep water flowing. - Bushfire considerations
Some properties carry a BAL rating. We work to the plans and use appropriate mesh and details at openings where required.
Underlay, sarking and ventilation
A good roof system includes more than the visible tiles.
- Sarking or underlay
Helps manage dust and incidental moisture and provides a secondary layer behind the tiles. We seal penetrations neatly and keep laps tidy. - Ventilation
In hot weather, roof spaces can hold heat. Passive vents or whirlybirds can help with airflow. We discuss what makes sense for your roof design.
These details support the performance of the roof and can make indoor spaces feel more comfortable.
Flashings and penetrations
Skylights, flues, vent stacks and solar cable penetrations all deserve careful attention. We fabricate and install flashings that fit properly and shed water cleanly. If you plan to add solar, we can coordinate with your installer so roof mounts are neat and the roof remains weather-ready.
Our process from the first visit to the final tidy up
- Site visit and measure
We check the roof or framing, look at access and talk through tile choices, colours and small details. - Clear written plan
You receive a simple scope that outlines materials, inclusions and expected sequence. We keep the language plain and the process transparent. - Preparation
For re-roofs, removal is staged to keep the home protected. For new builds, we confirm the set out and underlay before tiles go on. - Installation
Tiles are laid in an orderly pattern with correct cuts and fit. Valleys, flashings and ridge capping are installed for smooth water flow and a clean look. - Checks and tidy
We walk the roof, check details and collect offcuts. Gutters are cleared, and the site is left neat. - Handover and simple care tips
We run through easy maintenance and point out any areas that need occasional attention.
Common tile roof issues we solve
- Cracked or slipped tiles
Often caused by foot traffic, age or wind. We replace affected tiles and check the surrounding areas. - Loose ridge capping
Old mortar can fail over time. We reset bedding and apply flexible pointing to secure the caps and freshen the look. - Blocked valleys
Leaves and small branches trap water in valleys. We clear debris, improve falls, and, if needed, install new metal valley trays. - Worn flashings
Around chimneys, skylights and penetrations, old flashings can allow water in. We replace them with neat, custom pieces. - Undersized downpipes
Heavier rain can overwhelm small outlets. We can suggest upgrades that help water move away more efficiently. - Improvised penetrations
Old antenna mounts and similar holes can cause leaks. We repair the roof area and flash properly.
Simple maintenance for a tiled roof
Tile roofs are a practical, long-term option, and they respond well to light regular care.
- Keep valleys and gutters clear so water can drain freely.
- Trim back branches that drop heavy leaf loads or rub on tile.s
- After strong wind or hail, take a quick look around the yard for broken tiles and call us if you notice anything unusual.
- Try to avoid walking on tiles unless necessary, and step carefully where support is strongest if access is required.
- If you plan a new penetration, let us handle it so flashing is neat and water sheds properly.
Prefer a set-and-forget approach. We can schedule periodic checks, clear gutters ahead of the wet season and refresh pointing where it makes sense.
Choosing colours and profiles
Colour sets the tone for your home. Soft coastal greys and charcoals are popular across the Northern Rivers. Traditional terracotta tones suit heritage homes and country-style builds. We bring charts and samples so you can see options in natural light. Profile choice affects the shadow line and overall character of the roof. Shallow profiles feel modern and low-key. Deeper profiles add rhythm and a more traditional look.
If you are not sure what suits your property, we are happy to make a few suggestions and show you examples so the decision feels easy.
Working with builders and homeowners
We work directly with homeowners and with local builders. For builders, we offer tidy scheduling, clear communication and a team that respects the site. For homeowners, we keep you updated and make sure the process is simple and stress free. You will always know what we are doing and when we are doing it.

Do you help with colour and tile selection?
