Caulfield South is a quiet, well-established residential pocket within the City of Glen Eira, bordered by Glen Huntly Road to the north and Neerim Road to the south. The suburb's housing stock is overwhelmingly post-war — solid 1940s through 1960s brick veneer homes on modest-sized blocks, many of which retain their original concrete tile roofs. These Monier and Boral tile roofs have served their homes well for over half a century, but most are now showing clear signs of age: faded colour, hairline cracking, porous surfaces, and ridge capping that has pulled away from the roof line.
A walk along the residential streets between Koornang Road and Bambra Road reveals a neighbourhood that takes pride in presentation. Well-kept front gardens, painted fences, and tidy nature strips — but above the gutter line, those original concrete tiles tell a different story. Decades of Melbourne UV, driving rain, and frost cycles leave concrete tiles brittle and porous. Water penetrates through microcracks, and during heavy rain events the sarking underneath is often the only thing standing between the roof and a ceiling leak.
Roof Restoration Plus specialises in exactly this type of work — bringing post-war concrete tile roofs back to full health. We clean the tiles to remove accumulated grime and biological growth, replace any that are cracked or broken, rebedge and repoint all ridge capping, and apply a premium Dulux AcraTex or Shieldcoat coating that waterproofs the surface, restores colour, and extends the roof's serviceable life by 15 to 20 years. For Caulfield South homeowners, it's one of the highest-return home improvements available — better protection, better street appeal, and better value when it's time to sell.
Complete overhaul of Caulfield South's post-war concrete tile roofs — high-pressure cleaning, tile replacement where needed, full rebedding and repointing, and a protective recoat that seals every surface.
A fresh Dulux or Shieldcoat recoat transforms the look of a Caulfield South home instantly. We offer a full colour range and ensure proper surface preparation so the coating bonds to aged concrete tiles without peeling.
Concrete tile roofs in Caulfield South commonly have cracked or lifted ridge capping from decades of thermal expansion. We strip the old mortar, rebedge every cap, and apply flexible pointing for a permanent fix.

Post-war concrete tiles are our most common restoration material across South East Melbourne. We know every Monier and Boral profile, carry replacement stock, and apply coatings specifically formulated for concrete substrates.
Caulfield South has fewer heritage overlays than its neighbours to the north, meaning most standard restorations proceed without planning permits. We confirm overlay status at the quote stage so there are no surprises once work begins.
Most Caulfield South homes are post-war brick veneers with concrete tile roofs, and restorations typically fall between $4,000 and $10,000. Factors that influence price include roof area, number of broken tiles, ridge capping condition, and the coating system selected. We provide free detailed quotes after an on-site assessment.
A standard Caulfield South brick veneer home with a concrete tile roof usually takes 2 to 4 working days to complete — cleaning on day one, repairs and repointing on day two, and coating application over the remaining days. Weather is the main variable; we schedule around forecasts and keep you updated.
