Or try it on the web →This roof restoration quote template is for residential tile or metal roofs that need a full clean, repair, and repaint. It suits jobs from a 150 square metre single-storey home to a trickier two-storey place needing full edge protection. Most roofers get the price per square metre right for the membrane but lose money on the prep work. They either forget to factor in replacing more than a handful of broken tiles or underestimate the labour for a full repoint of the ridge caps. This template helps you price every step properly, from the pressure clean to the final coat.
Pricing Your Materials and Labour Per Square Metre
Your base rate is square metres. A typical 3-bedroom home is 180-220m². Price your membrane per square metre. A 15L drum of Dulux AcraTex Roof Membrane from Bunnings costs around $260 and covers about 40m² for two coats. That's $6.50/m² just for the paint. Factor in sealer at around $2/m². Labour is your big variable. A straightforward single-storey tile roof might take two guys two days, so 32 hours total. At $75/hour per man, that's $2,400 in labour before materials or overheads. Always add a 10-15% waste factor on your membrane for steeply pitched roofs.
What Most Roofers Forget to Add to the Quote
Safety rail hire is the biggest forgotten cost. For a two-storey job, SafeWork requires edge protection, which can add $1,500-$3,000 to the price from a local hire company. Another is waste disposal. A full repoint means chipping off old mortar, creating kilograms of rubble. You'll need to price in a small skip bin or tip fees. Also, don't just quote for a few broken tiles; get on the roof and check properly. Using quoting software like QuoteMate helps you build a library of these optional line items, so you never forget to add scaffold hire or extra tile costs again. Always check the sarking condition where visible.

Frequently Asked Questions
Terracotta tiles are more brittle and often require a more specialised sealer. Add 10-15% to your labour for the extra care needed during pressure cleaning to avoid breakage. The sealer itself, like CSR Monier's Terracotta Glaze, can also be more expensive than a standard primer, so check current pricing with your supplier before finalising the quote.
If more than a third of the pointing is cracked or loose, it's faster and gives a better result to quote for a full repoint. A partial job often fails within a few years. A full repoint on a standard roof uses about four to five 10kg bags of flexible pointing mortar, like Shieldcoat's Shieldflex, which costs around $40 per bag.
Most professional roof coatings come with a manufacturer's warranty of 10-15 years. You should offer a warranty that matches the product you're using. For example, Dulux AcraTex offers a 15-year warranty when applied by a registered applicator according to their specifications. Always provide this in writing, as it protects both you and the homeowner.
