Hurstville sits at the heart of Sydney’s St George region, and its rooftops are as varied as its streets — interwar and post-war double-brick homes under terracotta and concrete tile, full-brick mid-century houses, and a fast-growing cluster of apartment and strata blocks around the station. Tomkat Roofing works across all of them. With more than 20 years behind us, we read each roof on its own terms rather than applying a one-size template, matching materials and method to the age and pitch of the building.
Because so much of Hurstville’s housing stock is now decades old, a lot of our work here is on ageing tile roofs — re-bedding and re-pointing ridge capping, replacing cracked tiles and resealing penetrations before a small fault becomes an interior leak.
Leaks, slipped or cracked tiles, perished pointing, rusted flashing or storm damage — these are the calls we get most from Hurstville homeowners, and they usually trace back to the age of the roof rather than one obvious fault. Our licensed roofers find the real source of the water, not just the wet patch on the ceiling, then repair it with materials suited to Sydney's storm-and-heat cycle and hose-test the result before we leave.
When a Hurstville tile roof has been patched one too many times, a full replacement is often the smarter spend. We'll talk you through the genuine choice for local homes — staying with concrete or terracotta tile to keep a heritage streetscape consistent, or converting to lightweight Colorbond for a cleaner, lower-maintenance finish. We handle the strip, disposal, sarking and compliant re-roof from start to finish, to Australian Standards.
A little upkeep goes a long way on Hurstville's older roofs. Our maintenance visits cover gutter clearing, resealing penetrations, re-securing flashings and catching cracked tiles or lifting ridge caps early — the small faults that quietly cause the biggest interior damage after a southerly downpour. For busy households, and for strata managers looking after apartment blocks near the centre, a scheduled service keeps the roof sound and the surprises to a minimum.
Building new or extending in Hurstville? We design and install roofs that suit both the plans and the street, working alongside your builder to keep the job moving. From framing and sarking through to the final ridge, everything is done to Australian Standards so the roof is weather-tight from day one — whether it's a knock-down-rebuild on a classic block or a new duplex.
Buying, selling, or lodging an insurance claim on a Hurstville property? Our roof inspections give you a clear, photographed report of exactly what's up there — the condition of tiles, pointing, flashings and gutters, what needs attention now and what can wait. It's the kind of straight assessment that helps homeowners, buyers and strata managers decide with confidence rather than guesswork.
Hurstville's heavy summer downpours put gutters to the test, and blocked or undersized ones send water straight into eaves and walls. We repair rust, leaks and poor falls, install correctly sized gutters and downpipes, and fit leaf guard where overhanging trees are a problem — so drainage actually keeps up when the storms roll through the St George area.
Our Hurstville roofers bring more than two decades of hands-on experience to every job, from a single slipped tile to a full re-roof. That depth shows in the diagnosis — working out why a roof is really leaking — and in the finish, where tidy pointing and properly lapped flashings decide whether a repair holds or comes back.
Roof work carries real risk, especially on the steeper-pitched older homes common around Hurstville. We work to strict safety procedures, use proper access and fall protection, and carry full insurance — so the job gets done without putting your property, or anyone on site, at risk.
Years of working across the St George area mean we know which tiles, membranes and Colorbond profiles hold up best on local homes, and how to match the colour and profile of decades-old terracotta so a repair blends in. We source quality materials at trade rates and install them the way the manufacturer intends, so the warranty actually stands.
Roofing looks simple from the ground, but a DIY patch on a Hurstville tile roof often turns into a bigger bill — a tile cracked underfoot, pointing that fails by the next storm, or a leak that resurfaces inside. Bringing in licensed roofers who do this every day means it's done right the first time, which almost always works out cheaper and far less stressful than a second attempt.
Most of our work in Hurstville is on homes — the double-brick bungalows, full-brick mid-century houses and newer builds that fill the suburb's streets. Whether it's a minor tile repair or a complete re-roof in tile or Colorbond, we tailor the job to the house and your budget, stick to Australian Standards, and keep you in the loop with clear pricing and honest advice throughout.
Hurstville's town centre keeps growing, and we look after the roofs that come with it — shops, warehouses and the strata apartment blocks clustered around the station. We schedule around trading hours and residents to keep disruption low, and manage access, safety and compliance across the whole job so owners and occupants are protected for the long term.
When a storm tears through the St George area and a roof starts letting water in, the cause needs tracing properly. Across Hurstville we carry out lasting repairs, tracing the true cause so the same leak does not return with the next downpour.
Tile is the classic Hurstville roof, and it's our specialty. We repair, re-bed, re-point and restore terracotta and concrete tiles — replacing cracked ones, rebuilding ridge capping and sealing the leaks that come with age — matching colour and profile so the fix disappears into the rest of the roof. Where a roof is past patching, we restore or replace it for a result built to ride out Sydney's weather. Free inspection and a clear quote to start.
For homeowners ready to move on from ageing tile, Colorbond is a popular choice around Hurstville — light, low-maintenance, non-combustible and available in a wide colour range. We install and repair metal roofs on both houses and strata properties, with clean detailing and flashings made to last. Ask us about a tile-to-metal conversion and we'll give you honest guidance and a competitive quote.
Flat and low-slope roofs — common on extensions, garages and some of Hurstville's apartment blocks — need the right membrane and genuine fall to stop water pooling under the summer sun. We install and repair trusted membrane systems, get the drainage right, and properly detail skylights and penetrations where leaks usually start, so the roof stays sound for years.
We start with a detailed consultation and roof inspection. Our team reviews your needs, assesses the roof condition, and clearly explains possible solutions.

Once approved, our licensed team completes the work according to the scheduled timeline. Most roof replacements finish within 3–7 days, with quality and safety at the core.
After finishing, we inspect the roof with you, ensure everything meets expectations, and leave your site spotless. We also share tips for ongoing care.
