Best roofers in Bunbury, Australind & Eaton (2026)
Table of Contents
These are the best-rated roofers working Greater Bunbury, from East, South and central Bunbury through Withers, Carey Park, College Grove and Usher, out to Dalyellup and Gelorup, and north across the estuary to Australind, Eaton, Treendale and Millbridge. They’re ranked on real Google reviews, not on who paid us. Roofing is a service-area trade down here, run out of a ute and a yard rather than a shopfront, so this is an honest read of the roofers that genuinely service the Bunbury catchment. Bunbury is a bigger regional market than the Cape towns further south, but it’s still not the metro, so rather than pad the list to a round ten we’ve listed the seven genuine, review-bearing roofers that cleared our bar. Below you’ll find what roofing work really costs in 2026, why a roof on this stretch of coast lives a hard life, the wet South West winters and storm fronts off the Indian Ocean that hunt out every weak flashing and blocked gutter, the Koombana Bay salt air that rusts metal roofs and fixings, the split between the older tile homes of inner Bunbury and the fast-growing metal-roof estates at Australind and Eaton, when the law says you need a licensed roof plumber or a registered builder, the door-knock scams to watch for, and a quick checklist before you let anyone climb onto your roof.

- Google reviews do the ranking. We start with every roofer’s live Google star rating and the number of reviews behind it, pulled fresh from Google Maps.
- Rating, weighted by volume. A 5.0 from a job or two isn’t proof yet, so we weight the score by review count. A proven rating from dozens of customers sits above a perfect score from a handful, which is why Protective Roofing Bunbury (5.0 from 124) leads the page and Roofwest Roof Restorations (4.8 from 73) sits second on a deep, well-tested base, while a clean 5.0 from a smaller count like Quality Roofing (from 9) sits mid-table rather than up top.
- A regional market, listed honestly. Bunbury has more roofers than the Cape towns, but it still isn’t the metro. There aren’t dozens of review-heavy roofers across Greater Bunbury, so we haven’t pretended there are. Seven genuine, review-bearing roofers cleared our bar, and that’s the seven you see. We’d rather show a real seven than pad the list with thin one-review newcomers to hit a round ten.
- Roofers that actually service the catchment. Roofing is a mobile trade, so good roofers cover a wide slice of the South West. The businesses here work the Greater Bunbury catchment, from inner Bunbury and Withers out to Dalyellup and Gelorup and north across the estuary to Australind, Eaton and Treendale.
- Roofers, not suppliers, cleaners or lead brokers. A roofing search on Google pulls in a bit that isn’t a roofer: “get quotes” lead-broker sites, pure gutter-cleaning services, and a couple of no-review newcomers. We left those out, along with thin single-review listings and a lower-rated outlier or two that didn’t clear our quality bar. What’s left is roofers and roof plumbers who genuinely work this catchment.
- Paid spots are labelled, and never jump the queue. When a business pays for a “Featured” spot it’s marked as such. The review-based order below does not change to favour a payer. Right now, no spots are sold.
Protective Roofing Bunbury
A clean 5.0 held across 124 reviews is a genuine standout anywhere, let alone in a regional market, and it’s the combination that tops our weighted score: a perfect rating that’s been tested by well over a hundred customers, not a job or two. That’s the strongest signal you’ll find in this trade around Bunbury by a distance. The bread-and-butter work here runs from chasing leaks and clearing salt-eaten or leaf-blocked gutters through to full restorations and re-roofs when an old roof is past saving, and a rating this high across a base this deep makes them a safe first call anywhere from inner Bunbury and Withers through to Australind and Eaton. With this many recent reviews to read through, they’re also easy to sanity-check for yourself before you book, and the obvious outfit to line up a second quote against.

A 4.8 held across 73 reviews is a serious, well-tested record, and restoration is exactly the work a lot of inner Bunbury roofs need. Through East and South Bunbury, Withers and Carey Park there’s a big stock of older tile homes whose roofs are structurally sound but tired, and a proper restoration that cleans, rebeds and repoints the ridge caps, swaps cracked tiles and recoats with a prepared membrane is the cheaper path than a full re-roof. A specialist that holds a rating this high across seventy-odd customers is a smart first call if your tile roof is looking its age. The near-perfect score across a base this deep is more convincing than a clean 5.0 from a handful, and they’re a strong name to shortlist for restoration and repointing work across Greater Bunbury.

A 5.0 across 30 reviews is a strong, well-tested record and enough of a base to take a perfect rating seriously. That mix of roofing, restoration and repair work is a genuinely useful one around Bunbury, where a lot of roof trouble isn’t a full re-roof but the smaller stuff that stops a leak before it wrecks a ceiling: resealing flashings, swapping rusted fixings, and clearing and repairing gutters and valleys. A rating this high across thirty customers makes them a solid shortlist for both repairs and bigger restoration jobs from inner Bunbury out to Dalyellup and Australind, and a good third quote to run against the two names above.

Also working Bunbury, just outside the seven
These are other names we came across working the catchment. A couple didn’t clear our quality bar, and we’d rather be upfront than dress a thin or lower record up as a proven one: Leading Edge Gutters (4.1 from 16) is a real operator with a decent review base but sits below the rating bar we hold roofers to on this page, and South West Metal Roofing (3.0 from 2) is too lightly and too low reviewed to rank. South West Roof Painters (5.0 from 1) is off to a good start but is a roof painter rather than a full roofer and needs more reviews before it can earn a ranked spot, and Bunbury Roofing had no reviews showing yet. If your job is guttering, downpipes or a full metal re-sheet rather than a tile restoration, remember that in WA that’s roof-plumbing work and should be done by a licensed plumber, so ask to see the licence.
What roofing actually costs in Bunbury (2026)
Nobody likes ringing a roofer blind on price. These are honest WA ballpark ranges for the common jobs, GST included. They’re a guide to keep you from being overcharged, not a quote. Roofing covers a huge spread, from chasing a single leak to re-sheeting a whole house in Colorbond, so treat these as rough bands and get your own job priced in writing after someone has actually been up and looked. Around Bunbury a few things nudge prices along: the wet South West winters mean leaks, gutters and flashings get worked hard and come up often, Koombana Bay and Indian Ocean salt air shortens the life of metal roofs and fixings on the coastal side of town, travel time out to Dalyellup, Gelorup and the rural blocks adds to callouts, two-storey and steep-pitch access lifts the price, and the compliant, longer-lasting material is usually the one that costs a little more up front.
| Job | Typical WA range | What pushes it up |
|---|---|---|
| Leak find & repair callout | $150-$500 | Tile vs metal, roof pitch and access, travel to the rural fringe |
| Gutter clean & downpipe clear-out | $150-$450 | Tree litter, two-storey, number of downpipes, valley gutters |
| Gutter & downpipe replacement (whole house) | $2,000-$6,000 | Lineal metres, fascia condition, salt corrosion, two-storey access |
| Leaf guard / gutter mesh install | $1,500-$4,500 | Roof size, valley count, mesh grade, tree cover on the block |
| Ridge capping rebed & repoint (whole roof) | $1,500-$4,500 | Roof size, steep pitch, two-storey, condition of the old mortar |
| Full tile roof restoration (clean, repoint, recoat) | $3,000-$8,000 | Roof size, moss and lichen from the damp, tile condition, number of coats |
| Rusted metal roof repairs & re-fastening | $500-$3,000 | Extent of corrosion, salt-eaten fixings, flashing replacement |
| Re-roof: tile to Colorbond metal (whole house) | $15,000-$33,000+ | Roof size and pitch, sheet profile, insulation blanket, battens |
| Colorbond re-sheet (replace existing metal roof) | $12,000-$28,000 | Area, sheet profile, marine-grade coating near the coast, insulation, flashings |
| Storm make-safe / emergency tarp | $300-$1,200 | After-hours callout, extent, height and access, travel distance |
| Asbestos roof removal & replacement | $15,000-$40,000+ | Licensed removalist, safe disposal, full re-roof to replace |
A roof in Bunbury lives a harder life than most in WA, and it shows up in the work. The South West gets a proper wet winter, and the fronts roll in off the Indian Ocean driving rain under flashings, hunting out every weak seal and finding any gutter that can’t clear the water fast enough. That’s why leak repair, gutter and flashing work and storm make-safe jobs come up so often here, and why a decent local roofer talks about drainage and flashing detail rather than just a coat of paint. Salt is the other constant on the coastal side: Koombana Bay and Indian Ocean air off Bunbury, Pelican Point and Dalyellup corrodes metal sheeting, gutters, flashings and the screws that hold it all together, so near the water you see rust and salt-eaten fixings years before an inland roof would, and marine-grade Colorbond and fixings are worth the extra. The building stock splits a couple of ways, which changes the job: the older homes through East and South Bunbury, Withers and Carey Park carry ageing tile roofs that need restoration and repointing, while the fast-growing estates at Australind, Eaton, Treendale, Dalyellup and Millbridge are mostly newer metal and tile that need maintenance and the occasional storm fix. One more that matters on the older stock: plenty of the mid-century homes through inner Bunbury have pre-1990 roofs or eaves that can contain asbestos, so any cutting, drilling or removal needs testing and a licensed removalist. On the legal side, metal roofing, guttering and downpipe work is plumbing work in WA and should be carried out by a licensed plumber, and a full re-roof or any structural roof change generally needs a registered building contractor and may need engineering sign-off (see the FAQ below).
Don’t get ripped off: red flags
- The door-knocker who “noticed your roof”. A roofer who turns up unannounced saying they spotted a problem from the street, and can start today at a special price, is running the oldest play in the trade. The older tile-roof pockets of East and South Bunbury, Withers and Carey Park get worked by them. Never sign on the spot. Get your own independent quotes.
- “Roof painting” sold as restoration. A proper restoration cleans, rebeds and repoints the ridge caps, replaces broken tiles and then recoats with a prepared membrane system. A quick spray of paint over an unprepped, mossy, unrepaired roof peels and flakes within a couple of years, and the South West damp makes it fail even faster. Ask exactly what prep and repair is included.
- No plan for the rain and the gutters. Bunbury gets a real wet season. A roofer who wants to sell a big restoration or recoat without even looking at the flashings, valleys, gutters and downpipes first is missing where most local leaks actually come from. Drainage and flashing detail matter more here than a shiny coat.
- Storm-chasers after a front. When a winter front rolls off the Indian Ocean, out-of-area operators appear overnight chasing wind and leak damage. Some are fine, many are here today and gone tomorrow with no local track record and no warranty you can chase. Stick to roofers you can check on Google.
- No mention of salt or marine-grade materials near the coast. Close to Koombana Bay and out at Pelican Point and Dalyellup, the grade of your Colorbond, coatings, fixings and flashings matters. A roofer who quotes the cheapest sheeting and screws with no thought to salt corrosion is setting you up for rust and a repeat job years early.
- No mention of asbestos on an older home. Plenty of pre-1990 homes through inner Bunbury have asbestos in the roof or eaves. A roofer who wants to cut, drill or remove old sheeting without testing or a licensed removalist is putting your household at risk.
- No roof plumber’s licence for metal or gutter work. In WA, metal roofing, gutters and downpipes are plumbing work. If someone is re-sheeting your roof or replacing guttering without a plumbing licence, that’s a problem, not a saving.
- No safety gear for working at heights. Roof work is high-risk. No harness, no roof anchors, no scaffold on a two-storey or steep roof means no proper safety system, and the liability can land on you.
- Big cash deposit up front, no ABN, no receipt. A modest deposit for materials is normal. Handing over a big slab of the job in cash with no paperwork means no warranty and no comeback.
- Vague warranty and no product detail. A real quote names the membrane or coating brand, the sheet and coating grade, the number of coats, and the workmanship warranty. “Ten-year warranty” with nothing in writing about the actual products is worth very little.
Before you hire: quick checklist
- Written, itemised quote. After they’ve actually been up on the roof, get the scope in writing: the fault, the repair, the coating brand and number of coats, the gutter, downpipe and flashing work, and who supplies what.
- Right licence for the work. For metal roofing, gutters and downpipes, check the business holds a plumbing licence. For a full re-roof or structural change, check they’re a registered building contractor or work under one. For tile restoration and repointing, a proven roofer with reviews and insurance is fine.
- Rain, gutters and flashings first. With a proper South West winter, ask them to check the flashings, valleys, gutters and downpipes before they talk you into a big recoat. That’s where most leaks around here start.
- Salt and marine-grade materials near the coast. Close to Koombana Bay or out at Dalyellup, ask what grade of Colorbond, coating, flashings and fixings they’ll use, and get it named in the quote. The right grade costs a little more and lasts a lot longer.
- Insurance and heights safety. Ask for current public liability cover and sight the certificate, and check they use proper harnesses, anchors or scaffold on your roof.
- Asbestos check on older roofs. On a pre-1990 roof or eaves through inner Bunbury, confirm testing and a licensed removalist before anyone cuts or removes sheeting.
- Storm and insurance jobs. For storm or wind damage, get it documented with photos and a scope you can hand to your insurer before work starts.
- Recent photo reviews. Look for recent, specific reviews, ideally with before-and-after photos of similar Bunbury jobs, restorations, re-roofs or gutter work. A steady stream beats one old burst.
- Warranty in writing. Get the workmanship warranty, and the product warranty on any coating or sheeting, in writing alongside the quote.
Frequently asked
How did you rank these roofers?
By their live Google star rating and the number of reviews behind it, pulled from Google Maps. We weight the rating by review volume so a proven score from dozens of customers isn’t leapfrogged by a perfect score from a handful, which is why Protective Roofing Bunbury (5.0 from 124) leads the page and Roofwest Roof Restorations (4.8 from 73) sits second on a deep base. Roofing is a service-area trade, so rather than insisting every business sits inside one suburb, we checked each one genuinely services the Greater Bunbury catchment. Lead-broker quote sites, suppliers, gutter cleaners and thin single-review newcomers were left out, along with a couple that fell below our rating bar. This is a regional market, so seven genuine roofers cleared the bar rather than a round ten, and we’d rather show a real seven than pad it.
Why only seven, not ten?
Because Bunbury, for all it’s the biggest centre in the South West, is still a regional market and we won’t pad a list to hit a round number. Across Greater Bunbury there are seven roofers with a genuine, review-backed track record that clear our bar. Beyond those, the remaining names are either brand new with a single review, showing no reviews yet, sitting below our rating bar, or aren’t really roofers (pure gutter cleaners and the like). When more local roofers build up reviews, this list will grow.
Which suburbs does this cover?
Greater Bunbury. That runs from central Bunbury, East Bunbury and South Bunbury through College Grove, Withers, Carey Park, Usher, Glen Iris and Pelican Point, out to Dalyellup and Gelorup, and north across the Leschenault estuary to Australind, Eaton, Treendale, Millbridge and Clifton Park. Every roofer in the ranking services that catchment.
Are these paid placements?
No. This list is ordered on Google review data. Businesses can pay for a “Featured” spot at the top, which is clearly labelled, but paying never changes the review-based order below. As of this update, no spots are sold.
Does the Bunbury weather really change what my roof needs?
Yes, more than most people expect. The South West gets a proper wet winter, and the fronts come in off the Indian Ocean, so leaks, flashings and drainage get tested hard every year. On the coastal side, salt air off Koombana Bay and the ocean corrodes metal sheeting, gutters and fixings years earlier than inland, so marine-grade Colorbond and fixings are worth the extra out at Bunbury, Pelican Point and Dalyellup. When you’re getting quotes, ask the roofer to look at the flashings, valleys and gutters, not just sell you a recoat.
My roof is a tired old tile roof. Restoration or a full re-roof?
A restoration suits a structurally sound tile roof that’s just tired, and that describes a lot of the older homes through East and South Bunbury, Withers and Carey Park. It cleans, rebeds and repoints the ridge caps, swaps cracked tiles and recoats the roof, and it’s the cheaper path. A re-roof replaces the roof entirely, which is what you need if the tiles are failing, the roof leaks in multiple places, or you’re moving to a Colorbond metal roof. A good roofer will tell you honestly which one your roof actually needs, and price the repair option rather than pushing straight to the big job.
Do roofers need a licence in WA?
It depends on the work. Metal roofing, guttering, downpipes and rainwater work are plumbing work in Western Australia and must be carried out by a licensed plumber registered with the Plumbers Licensing Board. Tile roof restoration, repointing and recoating are not a separately licensed trade, so there a proven roofer with reviews and insurance is what you want. And a full re-roof or any structural roof change is building work: residential building work valued over $20,000 must be carried out or supervised by a registered building contractor, and may need engineering sign-off. This is general information, not legal advice, so check your specific job with the relevant WA authority if you’re unsure.
Someone knocked on my door offering a cheap roof restoration. Should I?
Be very careful. Unsolicited roof restorers who “noticed your roof from the street” and can start today at a one-off price are a well-known trap, and the older tile-roof streets around East and South Bunbury and Withers get doorknocked. High-pressure sales, a big cash deposit and a rushed job with cheap coatings is a common outcome. Never sign on the spot. Take their details, then get two or three independent quotes from roofers you can check on Google, like the ones ranked above, before you commit to anything.
How often is this page updated?
Monthly. Ratings and review counts move, new roofers earn their spot, and we re-pull the data so the list stays honest and current. As Bunbury’s newer roofers build up reviews, expect this list to grow and shift.
