Powerdrive Roofing charges $22 per square metre for a full roof restoration in Perth on metal, Colorbond and concrete tile roofs, and $24 per square metre on terracotta, clay or previously coated roofs. That rate covers a high-pressure clean, moss and lichen treatment, replacement of broken tiles, and re-pointing of the ridge and hip caps, then one coat of primer and two coats of Dulux AcraTex applied by Dulux-accredited registered painters — all backed by a 10-year workmanship warranty and a 15-year paint warranty. A firm figure follows a free inspection.

What $22 per square metre includes
A full roof restoration at $22 per square metre is a genuine end-to-end process, not a quick spray. It starts with a high-pressure clean and a moss, lichen and algae treatment that strips years of growth back to bare tile or sheet, followed by replacing any broken or slipped tiles.
The ridge and hip capping is then re-pointed with a flexible pointing compound colour-matched to your roof — pointing that flexes with the roof instead of cracking like old cement mortar. Note that the $22 rate covers re-pointing, not full re-bedding; more on that below.
Finally the roof is sealed and coated: one coat of primer and two coats of Dulux AcraTex membrane, applied by registered painters who are Dulux accredited. Because we hold that accreditation, the finished coating carries a 15-year paint warranty, on top of our 10-year workmanship warranty — something an unaccredited operator simply cannot offer at any price.
Why terracotta and previously coated roofs are $24
Terracotta, clay and previously coated roofs sit at $24 per square metre rather than $22 because they need more preparation. Terracotta and clay tiles are porous and brittle, and a roof that has been coated before has to have the old, flaking membrane cut back and stabilised before a new AcraTex system will bond and hold its 15-year paint warranty.
The extra $2 per square metre reflects that preparation — it is still the same honest, transparent rate, just matched to a roof that asks more of the process.
Re-bedding is separate from the $22 rate
The square-metre rate covers re-pointing — sealing the caps with flexible pointing. It does not include re-bedding, which is lifting loose caps and re-laying them on a fresh mortar bed.
If your ridge caps are lifting, sitting unevenly or the bedding beneath has crumbled, re-bedding is quoted separately — $45 per lineal metre when done as part of your restoration (versus $52 on its own), with re-pointing at $30 per lineal metre when paired with it — see our re-bedding and re-pointing prices. We tell you honestly at the inspection whether your roof genuinely needs re-bedding or whether re-pointing alone will do.
How your Perth suburb changes the job
Perth’s coast and hills treat roofs very differently, and it shows up in a restoration. Closer to the ocean — Cottesloe, Scarborough, Trigg, Sorrento, North Beach and Fremantle — the salt-laden sea air is abrasive and corrosive. Coatings weather faster and metal roofs corrode sooner, so coastal restorations lean on a thorough clean and the durability of the AcraTex system to earn back that 15-year paint warranty.
In the bushland and hills suburbs — Kalamunda, Roleystone, Mundaring, Gooseberry Hill, Darlington and Lesmurdie — shade, damp and constant leaf litter mean far heavier moss, lichen and, on older roofs, timber delignification. Those roofs need more cleaning and treatment before the $22 or $24 coat goes on.
The square-metre rate itself does not change with your suburb — what your location changes is the amount of preparation, which we measure and confirm in the quote.
What else affects the price
Beyond roof type and suburb, the condition and access drive the final figure. A steep or two-storey roof takes longer and needs more setup; a roof needing more than the included allowance of replacement tiles, a valley replacement at $65 per lineal metre, or extensive repairs will carry additional cost.
If you are having the roof done, a standard garage door can be coated to match for $350 when booked with the restoration — a popular finishing touch that ties the whole exterior together.
Our honest quoting system
At Powerdrive we don’t send pushy sales reps. We can measure your roof by satellite and give you a guide price before we visit, then confirm it at a free on-site inspection with an accurate scope of works.
And we charge the same fair rate all year round — $22 (or $24) per square metre. No inflated prices dressed up as a "50% off" promotion for a fortnight. The reviews and the reputation do the selling.
Backed by a 10-year workmanship & 15-year paint warranty
Every Powerdrive restoration is finished with a Dulux AcraTex system applied by Dulux-accredited registered painters and carries a 10-year workmanship warranty and a 15-year Dulux AcraTex paint warranty. That combination — accredited application plus a manufacturer-backed membrane — is what separates a restoration that lasts from a cheap coat of roof paint that fades in a couple of summers.
