What roofs in Findon are usually dealing with
Findon is an established, affordable inland suburb that filled out largely in the post-war decades, with a strong Italian community whose solid, well-built brick homes are a defining feature of the area. Most of the housing is that era's masonry homes under concrete tile, alongside some newer infill. Being inland, there's no coastal salt to deal with here — the roofing is about age: concrete tile roofs that have lost their coating, with ridge mortar and the odd cracked tile that come with decades of weather.
Findon sits in the City of Charles Sturt. Like-for-like roof restoration and repairs are treated as maintenance and generally don't need development approval. One thing worth noting locally: a lot of Findon's post-war homes are very solidly built, which is good news — the structures are sound, and it's usually just the roof covering that's reached the end of its life and needs restoring rather than anything structural.
Common jobs we get asked about in Findon
- Faded, porous concrete tiles past their coating
- Perished ridge pointing on post-war roofs

Re-pointing & re-bedding
Replacing perished cement ridge mortar with flexible pointing that lasts much longer than the original.
Leak detection & repair
Tracking down leaks — usually a slipped tile, cracked pointing or failed flashing — before they reach the ceiling.
Findon roofing FAQs
How much does a roof restoration cost in Findon?+
It depends on the roof's size and pitch and how much tile and mortar work is needed, so it has to be quoted on site. As a general guide, restorations on a standard single-storey tiled home in Adelaide commonly fall in the mid-four-figure to high-four-figure range — treat that as a ballpark only. The roofer we connect you with will price it properly after a look.
My Findon home is solidly built — is restoring the roof worth it?+
Usually, yes. A lot of Findon's post-war homes are very well built, so the structure is typically sound and it's just the roof covering that's aged — the tile coating worn off and the ridge mortar cracked. That makes restoration a sensible, cost-effective fix: you preserve a good house with a refreshed, watertight roof rather than facing a full replacement.
Do I need council approval for roof work in Findon?+
For most homes, no — like-for-like roof restoration and repairs in the City of Charles Sturt are treated as maintenance and generally don't require development approval. Only larger changes beyond standard roof work would, so a routine restoration is usually straightforward.
Why do concrete tile roofs in Findon need restoring after a few decades?+
Concrete tiles have a factory coating that gradually wears off with sun and weather, leaving the tiles porous, and the cement mortar bedding the ridge capping becomes brittle and cracks. After several decades both reach the point where a restoration — clean, re-point, re-coat — is needed to keep the roof watertight. It's normal wear for roofs of this age.
