Why book a local roof repairer through Airtasker?

Fixing your roof when it has problems is a vital task, perhaps more important than any other house repair job. Depending on the severity of the damage and the length of time it goes untreated, roof problems can cause catastrophic damage to your house and its frame.

On the other end of the scale, even a small leak can cause problems. From unsightly water damage to mould and other issues, without fixing the roof you’ll never be able to stop these issues recurring.

Because of the speedy nature of roof repair jobs, posting your requirements on Airtasker can be a real time saver. As soon as your ad is approved, roofing professionals near you will be able to get in touch and you can start the process of weatherproofing your home.

Make sure they’re insured

Although many jobs on Airtasker are automatically covered by our insurance, for jobs like roof repair that are deemed as high risk you have to make sure your Tasker has their own insurance.

Fast responses from roof repairers

If you have a problem with your roof, chances are that you want it fixed immediately. Once your job on Airtasker has been approved, you can start speaking to roof repair professionals in your area to get your job started.

You determine the price

One of the difficulties of getting someone to do work on your roof is finding someone to provide a reasonable and timely quote. On Airtasker, you set the price upfront and work from there.

Read roof restoration reviews

Every Tasker on our site is reviewed and rated by people who hire them, meaning you’ll get an honest overview of their work habits. This helps you compare candidates and get the best worker for your job.

Top Roof Repair related questions

While there are sometimes obvious signs of a leak, other times you need to be more observant. If you see stains appearing in your ceiling or down walls, it's likely that there's a leak somewhere in your roof. Even a minor leak can create major damage over time, so it's best to act quickly.

A leaking roof can cause cosmetic and structural damage to a property. Water can cause mould and mildew to grow, rot frames and damage your insulation and ceilings.

Small areas of damage or leaks can often be repaired, but all roofs need to be replaced at some point. If your roof hasn't been redone in 20 years, it might be time for a new one. A roof repair expert will be able to tell you when they look at your damage if it's a small fix or an entire redo.

Small roof repair jobs can be done in as little as an hour, but larger jobs can require multiple visits over a number of days.

Normally, yes. Unsightly damage or reports that show there is damage to the roof can be a turn-off for buyers, so it may lead to fewer bids and less competition. By making all required repairs to your home, in your roof and elsewhere, you can inspire confidence in your buyers.

Roof repair costs change depending on how much works needs to be done, so you should always ask someone to look at your property before agreeing to a quote. On Airtasker, the average cost of a roof repair job is $200.

What do roof repairers do?

Before agreeing to hire anyone to repair your roof, you should make sure they have a look at your property. Otherwise, it’s incredibly difficult to gauge how much work needs to be done. 

Once they have sized up the job, they will get to work on the repairs. Depending on the cause of the damage, this may require them to work on sealing up the inside of your roof or they may need to get on top to work with the tiles, shingle or sheeting that you have on top of your house. 

As well as focussing on your roof, there are other tasks that go hand-in-hand with roof repair that you may need to consider. 

Roof tile repair

While roof repair is a nice catch-all, there are times when you need a specialist for your job. If you’ve got problems with your tiles, you can hire a roof tile repair expert to take care of things for you. They’ll assess the damage, clean off any dirt or mould and replace broken tiles so that your home looks nicer and reduce the chance of leaks. 

Gutter installation

Sometimes people mistake roof issues for gutter issues because without adequate drainage your property can become damaged. Hiring someone to replace or install gutters is a simple and inexpensive way to fix this problem. 

Gutter cleaning

Gutter problems don’t always mean you need to replace them. Sometimes a gutter cleaning services may be all you need. In cases like this, someone will come to your property and remove any leaves, sticks or other debris that’s clogging up your gutters to improve your drainage.

Property maintenance

Sometimes the fact that a property has roof damage is a sign that there could be other maintenance issues as well. If you’re not the DIY type, or you’re an investor with a property you can’t get to very often, hiring property maintenance services can help you. This way you can get small tasks like lawn mowing looked after and any essential repairs will be done before they get to worrying states.

 Existing ridge cap cement has degraded over time with severe cracks in various locations around the roof.  Visual moss/lichen build-up in ridge cracks indicated long term moisture has been trapped beneath.  Various roof tiles have minor breaks to lower corners. (Which do not cause an issue with water ingress as they are overlapped but may be replaced for the purpose of aesthetics).  A small percentage of lower-level ridge caps have become completely disconnected from their ‘Bedding’ cement and require ‘Re-bedding’.  Existing flashings to carport section and above front door area require resealing.  Existing flashing to various locations contains debris which may cause blockages and requires clearing.  Existing aerial area requires additional flashing to protect area correctly. Recommendations  Removal & disposal of all loose cement to all ridge caps connected to property.  Manual clean of moss/lichen to areas where new product is to be applied.  Re-alignment of all roof tiles which have slipped from original location.

Roof was damaged during February storm. I need to replace at least one rafter in the roof and make it ready for tiling. Tiling can also be quoted. This probably needs a visit on site. Insurance is involved, but they prefer to pay it out. I am happy to pay per hour or on a daily rate. Currently the damaged roof is covered with a tarp.

Ridge capping is showing signs of cracking which has allowed water ingress. This needs to be repointed. Tiles surrounding brace for main power connection to house are not seated correctly, this potentially could have allowed water ingress. Valley tiles are also not seated correctly and potentially could have allowed water ingress - All of these areas need to be reseated to ensure they are water tight. Numerous tiles throughout the roof look to be adversely affected by wear and tear, age, failed protective coating & possibly a lack of general maintenance. This has resulted in holes beginning to form throughout the roof surface. A qualified roof trade is to attend site, inspect and replace these affected tiles. Once completed, the entire roof surface is to be cleaned and re-coated.

Recently had house painted and the rain has exposed a leak in the living room (see picture of stains on ceiling, roughly 30cm diameter). I suspect roof tiles may need to be replaced which I have spare / can supply. If it is a more serious issue happy to discuss solutions upon inspection as I understand you can't really quote until finding the problem. Offering $100 to fix, happy to pay materials separately if additional required to be purchased.

Thank you Hayden! Really appreciative for him able to come to my place promptly without me being there, identify the issue and fix on the spot. Will have his number saved for any roofing needs in future!
