Best roofers in Canning Vale and Gosnells (2026)
Table of Contents
These are the best-rated roofers working across the Canning Vale and Gosnells corridor, from the newer two-storey estates of Canning Vale, Harrisdale, Piara Waters and Southern River, through the established streets of Thornlie, Huntingdale and Willetton, out to the older suburbs of Gosnells, Maddington, Kenwick and Langford. They’re ranked on real Google reviews, not on who paid us. Roofing is a service-area trade, run out of a ute and a yard rather than a shopfront, so this is an honest read of the top ten roofers that genuinely service the south-east inland suburbs. Below you’ll find what roofing work really costs in 2026, why this corridor is really two roofing markets in one, the ageing tile roofs in the older suburbs that are ready for restoration and the big Colorbond metal roofs on the newer estate homes, how the hot inland summers and the Darling Scarp storms wear a roof differently to the coast, 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 or hundreds of customers sits above a perfect score from a handful, which is why Roof Restorations Perth WA (4.9 from 238) leads the page ahead of the smaller five-star outfits, and why a clean 5.0 like Roofing Services WA (from 23) sits mid-table rather than up top.
- Roofers that actually service Canning Vale and Gosnells. Roofing is a mobile trade, so good roofers cover a wide slice of the metro. Every business here services the south-east corridor, from the newer estates around Canning Vale, Harrisdale and Southern River to the older tile-roof streets of Gosnells, Maddington and Thornlie. Thornlie Roof Tiling carries the local name, and the rest are established Perth roofing and restoration companies that regularly work Canning Vale, Gosnells, Willetton and the suburbs in between.
- Roofers, not suppliers or lead brokers. A roofing search on Google pulls in a bit that isn’t a roofer: “get quotes” lead-broker sites, roofing-material suppliers, a general building-repair firm with no reviews, and a couple of one and two-review newcomers. We left those out, along with anything sitting below a genuine rating and review bar. What’s left is roofers and roof plumbers.
- 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.
Roof Restorations Perth WA
A 4.9 held across 238 reviews is the biggest, most-tested track record on this page, and keeping a rating that high over more than two hundred customers is about the strongest signal you’ll find in this trade. They run as a service-area business covering Perth, the Canning Vale and Gosnells corridor included, and specialise in the bread-and-butter work that most of the older suburbs down here need: cleaning, rebedding and repointing tired ridge caps, swapping cracked tiles and chasing down leaks on the ageing tile roofs through Gosnells, Maddington, Thornlie and Kenwick. With this many recent reviews to read through, they’re also easy to sanity-check for yourself before you book. A safe first call for anything tile-restoration related, and the obvious outfit to line up against the local name below for a second quote.
View listing & contact ▸Pinnacle Roofing and Ceiling Repair Services
A 4.8 across 191 reviews is one of the strongest records on this page, and the ceiling side of their work is a genuinely useful pairing down here: when an old tile roof lets water in, the damage usually shows up as a stained or sagging ceiling below, and an outfit that fixes both the roof and the ceiling saves you juggling two trades. That’s a common job through the older Gosnells, Maddington and Langford homes where the roofs are past their prime. With a base this deep and a rating this high, they’re a safe shortlist for leak chasing, repairs and restoration, and a strong second quote to run against the name above.
View listing & contact ▸Nxtgen Roof Roofing
A 4.8 held across 136 reviews is a strong, well-tested record, and it covers the full spread of roofing work, from restoration and repointing on the old tile roofs to full re-roofs, which makes them handy across both halves of this corridor. That matters here because the south-east is really two roofing markets: the older suburbs want tile restoration, while the newer two-storey estate homes around Canning Vale, Harrisdale and Southern River are more likely to need metal repairs, re-sheets or a re-roof down the track. A rating this high from well over a hundred customers is plenty to shortlist them for either job, and worth lining up as a third price against the two names above.

Also working Canning Vale and Gosnells, just outside the ten
These are other roofers we found genuinely working the corridor. A couple landed just below the cut on the weighted score, and a few are still building their Google reviews, so we’d rather be upfront than dress a thin record up as a proven one. Worth a quote if you’re chasing a few prices: Complete Roof Plumbing (4.4 from 60, handy if your job is metal, gutters or a re-sheet rather than tile) and Kili & Cousins Roof Restorations (4.8 from 19). Newer or thinner on reviews so far: Roofeze (5.0 from 9), Reality Roofing (5.0 from 8) and Royal Roof and Gutter (5.0 from 3). A couple we left off on purpose: a general building-repair firm with no reviews showing yet, and listings that are really patio or exterior sidelines rather than a roofer. 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 Canning Vale and Gosnells (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. Down here the split is clear: through the older suburbs it’s mostly tile restoration, ridge repointing and leak repair on roofs that are decades old, while the newer estate homes tend to be metal-roof repairs, gutter renewal and the occasional storm fix, often on two-storey builds where access adds to the cost.
| Job | Typical WA range | What pushes it up |
|---|---|---|
| Leak find & repair callout | $150-$500 | Tile vs metal, roof pitch and access, extent of the fault |
| 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, tile condition, number of coats, broken tiles to swap |
| Gutter & downpipe replacement (whole house) | $2,000-$6,000 | Lineal metres, fascia condition, two-storey access |
| Fascia & gutter combo replacement | $3,500-$9,000 | Timber vs metal fascia, height, full perimeter |
| Re-roof: tile to Colorbond metal (whole house) | $15,000-$35,000+ | Roof size and pitch, sheet profile, insulation blanket, battens |
| Colorbond re-sheet (replace existing metal roof) | $12,000-$30,000 | Area, sheet profile, insulation, flashings, two-storey access |
| Storm make-safe / emergency tarp | $300-$1,000 | After-hours callout, extent, height and access |
| Hail or storm damage repair | $800-$6,000+ | Number of broken tiles or dented sheets, insurance scope, access |
| Asbestos roof removal & replacement | $15,000-$40,000+ | Licensed removalist, safe disposal, full re-roof to replace |
The south-east corridor is a different roofing environment to the coast, and it shows up in the work. There’s no salt air out here driving corrosion, so the enemy is different: relentless summer sun and heat, which bakes and chalks old roof coatings and dries out ridge bedding, and the storms that roll off the Darling Scarp, which sit right on the eastern edge of this corridor through the Gosnells and Maddington foothills. Those storms bring the wind gusts, driving rain and occasional hail that lift tiles, block valleys and find every tired ridge cap and cracked tile, which is why leak repair and storm make-safe work is common here after a wet-season front. The corridor also splits neatly by age. The older suburbs, Gosnells, Maddington, Kenwick, Thornlie, Langford and parts of Huntingdale, are full of 1960s-to-1980s concrete and terracotta tile roofs well past the life of their bedding mortar and coating, which is why restoration is the bread-and-butter job through there. The newer estates, Canning Vale, Harrisdale, Piara Waters, Southern River and Forrestdale, run to larger two-storey homes on tighter lots with Colorbond metal or newer tile, where access, height and gutter work drive the cost more than age does. One more that matters on the older stock: some pre-1990 roofs and eaves 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 suburbs full of tile roofs, Gosnells, Maddington and Thornlie, get worked hard 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, unrepaired roof peels and flakes within a couple of years, and the hard inland sun makes it fail even faster. Ask exactly what prep and repair is included.
- Pushed into a full restoration when a repair would do. A few cracked tiles or a leaking valley is a repair, not a reason to recoat the whole roof. If someone jumps straight to a five-figure restoration without pricing the actual fault, be wary.
- Storm-chasers after a wet-season front. When a Scarp storm rolls through, out-of-area operators appear overnight chasing hail and wind 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 asbestos on an older roof. Plenty of pre-1990 homes through Gosnells, Maddington, Kenwick and Langford 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 plan for access on a two-storey estate home. The newer Canning Vale, Harrisdale and Southern River homes are often big two-storey builds on tight lots. A roofer who hasn’t thought about scaffold, height access and protecting the neighbour’s fence and property is likely to cut corners on safety.
- 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 restoration quote names the membrane or coating brand, 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 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.
- 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.
- Access sorted on a two-storey home. On a newer Canning Vale, Harrisdale or Southern River estate home, confirm how they’ll set up scaffold and height access, and how they’ll protect the shared boundary and the neighbour’s property.
- Asbestos check on older roofs. On a pre-1990 roof or eaves through Gosnells, Maddington or Kenwick, confirm testing and a licensed removalist before anyone cuts or removes sheeting.
- Storm and insurance jobs. If the work is hail or storm damage, get the roofer to document the damage with photos and an itemised scope you can hand to your insurer, and check they’re happy to deal with the claim.
- Recent photo reviews. Look for recent, specific reviews, ideally with before-and-after photos of similar local jobs, restorations, re-roofs or gutter replacements. 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.
- Strata check on townhouses. On a townhouse or unit in a strata scheme, confirm the job has strata or owners’ approval before it starts.
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 or hundreds of customers isn’t leapfrogged by a perfect score from a handful, which is why Roof Restorations Perth WA (4.9 from 238) leads the page ahead of five-star outfits with fewer reviews. Roofing is a service-area trade, so rather than insisting every business sits inside Canning Vale or Gosnells, we checked each one genuinely services the corridor. Lead-broker quote sites, suppliers, a no-review building-repair firm and thin one and two-review newcomers were left out; ten roofers cleared the bar.
Which suburbs does this cover?
Canning Vale, Gosnells and the south-east inland suburbs. That runs from Canning Vale, Harrisdale, Piara Waters, Southern River and Forrestdale, through Thornlie, Huntingdale and Willetton, out to Gosnells, Maddington, Kenwick, Langford, Ferndale, Beckenham and Wattle Grove. 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.
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 1960s-to-1980s roofs through Gosnells, Maddington, Thornlie and Kenwick. 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 going from old tile or asbestos to Colorbond metal. 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.
We had a storm come off the hills and the roof is leaking. What now?
First, if it’s actively leaking, get a storm make-safe or emergency tarp on it to stop the water, which most of the roofers above offer. Then get the damage properly assessed: a good roofer will photograph the broken tiles, dented sheets or lifted ridge caps and write an itemised scope you can hand to your insurer. The Gosnells and Maddington foothills sit right under the Darling Scarp and cop the worst of the storm fronts, so leak and storm repair is common through here. Be wary of out-of-area storm-chasers who appear overnight; stick to roofers with a local track record you can check.
My home is in a newer estate and it’s two-storey. Anything different?
Mainly access and materials. The newer estates, Canning Vale, Harrisdale, Piara Waters and Southern River, run to big two-storey homes on tighter lots, often with Colorbond metal or newer tile roofs. The roofs themselves are younger, so it’s less about restoration and more about repairs, gutter renewal, leak chasing and the occasional storm fix. The main thing that pushes cost up is the height and tight access, so make sure any quote accounts for proper scaffold or height-access gear and protecting the neighbour’s property on a close boundary.
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 suburbs like Gosnells, Maddington and Thornlie get doorknocked a lot. 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 the corridor’s newer roofers build up reviews, expect this list to shift.
