What Changes the Cost of a New Roof?
Is Colorbond Cheaper Than Tiles?
Per square metre, a Colorbond re-roof is usually cheaper than a tile re-roof with strip-off ($84–$190/m² against $105–$230/m² for concrete tile). Changing from tiles to Colorbond is a common choice when the tiles are worn out. It is also much lighter than tiles. Terracotta and slate are the most expensive to replace.
Replace or Restore Your Roof?
If the tiles or sheets are still sound and only the coating is worn, a restoration costs a fraction of a new roof (concrete tile about $4,200–$12,500). Replacement makes sense when tiles are cracking or crumbling across the roof, metal has rusted through, the battens have failed, or the roof is asbestos-cement. See our roof restoration cost guide.
