    Heritage Rules

    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.

    Street Character

    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.

    Resale

    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.
