A strong roof does more than keep the rain out. It protects your entire property, affects energy efficiency, and plays a major role in your home’s appearance and value. But keeping your roof in good shape takes more than luck—it takes planning, experience, and the right roofing services at the right time.
At Scope Building Group, we provide full-service roofing solutions across Sydney and beyond. Whether you’re starting a new build, replacing an ageing roof, or dealing with a pesky leak, our team handles it with care and precision.
Here’s what goes into a truly professional roofing service—and how each stage protects your property, your comfort, and your peace of mind.
1. New Roof Installation
New construction? Extension project? Old roof finally at the end of its life?
Installing a new roof isn’t just about picking tiles or sheets. It’s about choosing the right system for your climate, block, style, and long-term plans. A solid installation is the foundation for a leak-free, low-maintenance roof that lasts decades.
What we consider:
- Roof type: Tile (concrete, terracotta), metal (Colorbond, zincalume), slate, or composite
- Pitch and design: Suiting drainage, airflow, and aesthetic goals
- Insulation and sarking: For thermal control and moisture management
- Drainage planning: Gutters, downpipes, and flashings designed to prevent pooling or overflow
- Council and code compliance: Local approval, fire zones, and bushfire attack level (BAL) requirements
Whether it’s a new home build or replacing an existing structure, we guide you through options, materials, and timeframes—so the result fits your lifestyle, budget, and block.
2. Roof Inspections and Reports
Not sure what shape your roof is in? Regular inspections are the easiest way to avoid nasty surprises.
A professional roof inspection checks for damage, wear, blocked drainage, structural movement, and early signs of leaks or rust. These can be caused by weather, time, pests, tree branches—or just poor original workmanship.
When to book an inspection:
- After a major storm or hail event
- If you notice sagging, stains, or mould inside
- When buying or selling a home
- Before roof painting or solar panel installs
- Every 1–2 years as part of general upkeep
Our team provides detailed photo reports with clear recommendations. If it’s all good, you’ll know. If it’s not, we’ll show you exactly where the problem is—and how to fix it.
3. Leak Detection and Repairs
Not all roof leaks are obvious. Water can travel far from the source before it shows up inside—so by the time you see stains or bubbling paint, damage may already be underway.
Scope Building Group specialises in precise leak detection using:
- Visual inspection
- Moisture mapping
- Roof cavity checks
- Testing around flashings, valleys, skylights, and ridge capping
Once we’ve found the problem, we fix it properly—not just patch it. That might involve replacing tiles, resealing joints, repairing flashing, or fixing cracked bedding. Every repair includes weatherproof sealing to stop the leak in its tracks.
We also offer emergency leak repairs during heavy rain events to protect your home until full repairs can be done.
4. Roof Replacement
Some roofs reach the point where repairs just don’t make sense anymore. If your roof has widespread damage, serious structural problems, or ongoing leaks, a full replacement is usually the smarter, more cost-effective option.
Signs you might need a roof replacement:
- Frequent leaks even after repairs
- Large sections of rust or rot
- Cracked, brittle, or missing tiles
- Structural sagging
- Your roof is over 30 years old with visible wear
We manage the full replacement process, including:
- Safe removal of old materials
- Disposal and recycling
- Inspection and reinforcement of the frame
- Installation of new sarking, battens, tiles or sheets
- Gutters and drainage upgrades (if needed)
- Final inspection and site clean-up
You’ll get a roof that looks sharp, performs well, and adds value to your property for years to come.
5. Routine Roof Maintenance
Think of roof maintenance like a service for your car—it keeps everything running smoothly and catches small issues before they become big, expensive ones.
Scope Building Group offers scheduled roof maintenance plans for homeowners, property managers, real estate agencies, and strata buildings. This includes:
- Cleaning gutters and downpipes
- Removing debris or leaf buildup
- Checking flashing, valleys, and capping
- Inspecting for cracked tiles or loose fasteners
- Treating surface rust on metal roofs
- Reporting on potential issues
Regular maintenance helps prevent water ingress, timber rot, ceiling mould, and even pest infestations. It also extends the life of your roofing materials—and can help you stay compliant with your insurance.
Roof Types We Work With
Every material has its strengths—and our team is trained to work with them all.
Tile Roofs
- Terracotta and concrete tiles are durable and attractive, but can crack or shift over time. We handle tile replacement, bedding and pointing repairs, pressure cleaning, and tile roof painting.
Metal Roofs
- Colorbond is a favourite across Sydney for its modern look and low maintenance. We work with all metal systems including standing seam, zincalume, and corrugated roofing—ideal for both homes and commercial buildings.
Flat Roofs
- Often seen on garages, sheds, or modern homes, flat roofs need careful planning to ensure proper drainage. We install and repair flat roofs with quality membranes and smart guttering to reduce pooling and leaks.
Slate and Designer Roofs
- For heritage homes or high-end builds, we provide repairs and replacements for slate, composite, and imported roofing systems with high attention to detail.

What Makes a Roof System Work Long-Term?
A good roof is more than just tiles or sheets. It’s an entire system working together to handle sun, rain, wind, and time. Here’s what keeps your roof performing at its best:
- Correct pitch and drainage
Poor design leads to water pooling and long-term damage. Every roof should move water away efficiently.
- Secure flashing and sealing
Leaks often happen where materials meet—like chimneys, skylights, or between roof planes.
- Ventilation and insulation
A well-ventilated roof cavity reduces heat buildup and condensation, which can damage timber and ceilings.
- Material compatibility
Metal and tile systems need specific fasteners, fixings, and membranes. We always follow manufacturer specs and industry best practices.
