Richmond is one of Melbourne's most vibrant inner-east suburbs, known for its iconic Victorian and Edwardian terrace houses, bustling Bridge Road, and the famous MCG just across the river. Many of Richmond's homes feature original terracotta or slate roof tiles dating back 80–120 years. These heritage roofs require specialist care — from gentle cleaning methods that preserve the tile surface to repointing techniques that respect the original craftsmanship.
Roof Restoration Plus has extensive experience working on Richmond's unique housing stock, delivering restorations that protect both the structural integrity and the character of these beautiful homes. Whether your terrace sits on a leafy side street off Church Street or overlooks the Yarra, we tailor every project to suit the age, material, and condition of your roof.
From full roof restorations on century-old terraces to targeted ridge capping repairs on post-war bungalows, our Richmond roofing services cover every need. We work closely with homeowners to ensure minimal disruption and results that stand up to Melbourne's harsh UV, driving rain, and temperature swings.

Richmond roof restorations typically cost between $5,000 and $15,000 depending on roof size, material, and condition. Victorian terrace houses with original terracotta or slate tiles tend toward the higher end due to heritage-sensitive techniques. We inspect for free and provide a written quote with no hidden costs.
Yes. Many Richmond properties fall within Yarra City Council heritage overlays. We have extensive experience working on heritage-listed and heritage-overlay terrace houses, using gentle cleaning methods and period-appropriate materials that meet council requirements while delivering lasting results.
A typical Richmond terrace house restoration takes 3 to 5 working days — cleaning on day one, repairs and repointing over the following days, and coating application to finish. Larger or more complex roofs may take longer. Weather is the main variable; we schedule around forecasts and keep you informed.
Every Roof Restoration Plus project comes with a 10-year workmanship warranty. The coating manufacturers also provide their own product warranties — typically 10 to 15 years for Dulux AcraTex and Shieldcoat systems. All warranty documentation is provided in writing at project completion.
