Best roofers in Joondalup and Perth’s northern suburbs (2026)
Table of Contents
These are the best-rated roofers working across Joondalup and Perth’s northern suburbs, from Duncraig, Warwick and Greenwood in the south, up the coast through Hillarys, Ocean Reef, Mullaloo, Burns Beach, Mindarie and Quinns Rocks, and out to the growth estates at Clarkson, Butler, Alkimos, Banksia Grove and Yanchep. They’re ranked on real Google reviews, not on who paid us. Roofing is a service-area trade, dispatched to the job rather than run from a shopfront, so this is an honest read of the top ten roofers that genuinely service the northern corridor: a mix of local outfits based up here and established Perth roofing companies that cover the north. Below you’ll find what roofing work really costs in 2026, why the coast and the winter storm fronts shape the jobs up here, when you legally need a licensed roof plumber or a registered builder, the door-knocker scams to watch, and a quick checklist before you let anyone up your ladder.

- 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 Perth Professional Roofing (5.0 from 140) and Powerdrive (4.9 from 205) lead the page ahead of smaller five-star outfits.
- Roofers that actually service the north. Roofing is a mobile trade, run out of a ute and a yard rather than a shopfront, so most good roofers cover a wide slice of the metro. Every business here services Joondalup and the northern suburbs. Some are based right up here, RAW in Joondalup, Anderson Roof Plumbing on the Clarkson side and Roof Restoration in Iluka, and the rest are established Perth roofing companies that regularly work the northern corridor. We’ve flagged which is which so you know who’s local.
- Roofers, not supply houses or handymen. A roofing search on Google pulls in a bit that isn’t a roofer: a general property-maintenance business, roofing-material suppliers and a couple of firms with no reviews yet. 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.
Perth Professional Roofing
A clean 5.0 held across 140 reviews is a remarkable record in roofing, where one bad job on a wet week can pull a rating down fast. Holding a perfect score over that many customers is about the strongest signal you’ll find in this trade. They run as a service-area business covering Perth, the northern suburbs included, and take on the full spread of work from a leak chase and repointing through to full tile restorations and re-roofs. If you want the safest first call up here for anything roof-related, this is where we’d start.

A 4.9 across 205 reviews is the largest body of feedback on this page by a clear margin, and keeping the score that high over more than two hundred jobs is a genuinely proven track record. They cover the metro including the whole northern corridor and handle restorations, re-roofs, repointing and gutter work. When a roofer has this many happy customers behind them, you’re buying a very well-tested outfit, and the sheer volume of recent reviews makes them easy to check for yourself before you book.
View listing & contact ▸Anderson Roof Plumbing
A 4.9 across 79 reviews is a strong, deep record, and this one is based right up in the northern suburbs on the Clarkson side, so they’re genuinely local to the growth estates and the coast. As roof plumbers they’re the ones to talk to for metal roofing, Colorbond re-sheets, gutters, downpipes and flashings, the water-carrying work that in WA should be done by a licensed plumber. A confident local pick for anything metal-roof or gutter related through Clarkson, Butler, Alkimos and Wanneroo.

Also working the northern suburbs, still building their reviews
These are other roofers we found genuinely operating around Joondalup and Wanneroo. They look the real deal, but they’ve only got a handful of reviews on Google so far, so we haven’t ranked them yet. We’re being upfront about that rather than dressing a few reviews up as a proven record. As their feedback grows they’ll move into the ranking above. Worth a quote if you’re chasing a few prices: AMT Roof Maintenance (5.0 from 4) and Roof Repair (5.0 from 4). One firm we left off on purpose: Upon The Roof carries a big review base (58 reviews) but sits on a 4.4, below the ratings the roofers above are holding, so it didn’t make the ten. 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 the northern suburbs (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. Up here a fair bit of the work is tile restoration on the older established suburbs and metal-roof and gutter work out in the newer coastal estates, and both swing the numbers around a lot depending on roof size, pitch and access.
| 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, leaf guard |
| 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, insulation blanket, battens, structural sign-off |
| Colorbond re-sheet (replace existing metal roof) | $12,000-$30,000 | Area, sheet profile and grade, insulation, flashings |
| Whirlybird or roof vent (each, installed) | $250-$550 | Tile vs metal, number of units, powered vs passive |
| Storm make-safe / emergency tarp | $300-$1,000 | After-hours callout, extent, height and access |
| Asbestos roof removal & replacement | $15,000-$40,000+ | Licensed removalist, safe disposal, full re-roof to replace |
The northern suburbs are really two roofing markets in one. The older established suburbs, Duncraig, Warwick, Greenwood, Kingsley, Woodvale and inland Wanneroo, are mostly concrete and terracotta tile roofs from the 80s and 90s, and up here the bread-and-butter work is restoration: rebedding and repointing the ridge caps, swapping cracked tiles, and cleaning and recoating a tired roof so it sheds water and looks the part again. Out along the coast and through the newer growth estates at Clarkson, Butler, Alkimos, Eglinton and Yanchep, the roofs are largely Colorbond metal, and the work leans towards re-sheets, gutters, downpipes and flashings, which in WA is roof-plumbing work. Two things sit over the whole area. Salt-laden coastal air is hard on metal: near the water, roofs, gutters and fixings need the right grade of Colorbond and stainless or galvanised fasteners, or they corrode and streak years before their time. And the northern suburbs cop the winter storm fronts coming in off the Indian Ocean, so blocked or undersized gutters, loose ridge caps and worn valleys are where the leaks show up first. There’s also a legal line worth knowing: 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. Never sign on the spot. Get your own independent quotes.
- 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.
- “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. Ask exactly what prep and repair is included.
- 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 mention of asbestos on an older roof. Some pre-1990 roofs and eaves contain asbestos. A roofer who wants to cut, drill or remove old sheeting without testing or a licensed removalist is putting your household at risk.
- 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.
- No public liability insurance. A dropped tile, a fall or a leak into your ceiling can cost real money. Ask to see a current certificate.
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.
- Right materials for the coast. Near the water, confirm the correct grade of Colorbond and stainless or galvanised fixings on metal work, and a proper prepared membrane system on a tile restoration, not the cheapest spray.
- Asbestos check on older roofs. On a pre-1990 roof or eaves, confirm testing and a licensed removalist before anyone cuts or removes sheeting.
- 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.
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 Perth Professional Roofing (5.0 from 140) and Powerdrive (4.9 from 205) lead the page. Roofing is a service-area trade, so rather than insisting every business sits inside the cluster, we checked each one genuinely services Joondalup and the northern suburbs, and flagged which are locally based (RAW in Joondalup, Anderson on the Clarkson side, Roof Restoration in Iluka) versus established Perth companies that cover the north. Suppliers, a general property-maintenance firm and no-review newcomers were left out; ten roofers cleared the bar.
Which suburbs does this cover?
The City of Joondalup and the City of Wanneroo. That runs from Duncraig, Warwick, Greenwood, Kingsley and Woodvale in the south, up the coast through Hillarys, Kallaroo, Ocean Reef, Mullaloo, Burns Beach, Iluka, Mindarie and Quinns Rocks, and out to the growth estates at Clarkson, Butler, Alkimos, Eglinton, Yanchep and Two Rocks, plus inland through Wanneroo, Banksia Grove, Pearsall, Tapping, Carramar and Landsdale. 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.
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.
Restoration or a full re-roof, which do I need?
A restoration suits a structurally sound tile roof that’s just tired: 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 or sheets 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.
Tile or Colorbond metal up here?
Both are common in the northern suburbs. The older established suburbs are mostly concrete or terracotta tile, which restores well and looks great when it’s done properly. The newer coastal estates are largely Colorbond metal, which is lighter, quick to install and handles the wind well. Near the coast, metal needs the right grade for salt exposure, and tile needs sound ridge caps and a proper coating to shrug off the sun and storms. The right choice usually comes down to your existing roof structure, your budget and the look you want.
What does the coast up here do to a roof?
Quite a lot. Salt-laden air corrodes metal roofs, gutters and fixings faster than inland, so near the water you want the correct grade of Colorbond and stainless or galvanised fasteners, not the cheapest option. Strong UV bakes tile coatings and dries out old ridge-cap mortar, and the winter storm fronts off the Indian Ocean test every valley, gutter and loose cap on the roof. A roofer who knows the coast will spec the materials for salt and sun and set the roof up to shed water hard, because cutting corners near the water shows up fast.
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. 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 much does a re-roof or restoration cost up here?
As a rough 2026 guide, a full tile roof restoration commonly runs about $3,000 to $8,000 depending on roof size, tile condition and the number of coats, while a full re-roof from tile to Colorbond metal typically lands somewhere from $15,000 to $35,000 or more once you factor in size, pitch, insulation and structural work. Gutter and downpipe replacement across a house is usually $2,000 to $6,000. Coastal jobs and two-storey homes sit at the higher end. Always get it priced in writing after someone has been up and inspected the roof.
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 northern suburbs’ newer roofers build up reviews, expect this list to shift.
