— Roof area & pitch. Bigger and steeper roofs take more material, more time and more safety equipment.

— Repair vs restore vs replace. The scope tier is the biggest single decision — a factor of ten separates repairs from replacement.

— Material. Concrete tiles, terracotta and colorbond all price differently for both restoration and replacement.

— Height & access. Two-storey homes need scaffolding or rails, adding thousands to bigger jobs.

— Hidden damage. Rotten battens, failed sarking or asbestos found under old roofing adds unplanned cost.

— Get a photo report of the actual damage before approving work — good roofers document everything.

— Restoration coatings carry warranties of 10–15 years; get the warranty in writing with the paint system named.

— If your roof contains asbestos cement sheeting, removal must be done by a licensed asbestos removalist.
