Heritage Overlays and Your Decision
Many Melbourne suburbs have heritage overlays that can restrict changing roof colours or materials. If your home is affected, painting terracotta may need a permit. Check with your council first.
Fitting In With Your Street
In streets of terracotta-roofed bungalows and post-war homes, a natural terracotta roof fits the character. In mixed or modern streets, a painted roof in charcoal or grey can look right at home.
Painting and Resale Value
Some Melbourne buyers love original terracotta, while others prefer a modern colour. If you are selling soon, a clean, well-maintained roof matters more than its colour. We can talk through what suits your property.
What Painting Means for Maintenance
Natural terracotta needs cleaning and ridge work over the years. Painted terracotta also needs recoating in future as the coating weathers. Factor this in when deciding.
If You Decide to Paint
We clean, repair, prime with a terracotta primer, and apply two topcoats. Only unglazed tiles should be painted. See painting terracotta roof tiles.
Painting Terracotta Tiles Cost in Melbourne
