Websites for Adelaide roofers, roof plumbers and restorers, built by a web design team on Hutt St. Your CBS licence number on every page, villa re-roofs shown in galvanised iron with the right gutters, a storm notice ready for the next hail night, and a call button a thumb can find.
One Adelaide owner is pricing new iron for an 1890s villa, another has a brown stain spreading across the kitchen ceiling the morning after hail, and a third wants to know what happens to the solar panels before a tired tile roof comes off. Each arrives on your site with a different question, and many will look up your licence before they let anyone onto the roof.
South Australian building licences carry a number starting with BLD, and the state's advertising rule for building work asks for that number alongside the name on the licence or your registered business name. Licences can also carry conditions limiting the work they cover. We put the number and name in the footer of every page, link them to the CBS register, and keep the services listed to the work your licence covers.
Someone with a stone villa in Norwood or St Peters may already have read the council's heritage fact sheet: galvanised corrugated steel rather than Zincalume, OG gutters on Victorian and Edwardian houses, D gutters from the bungalow years, round downpipes. If that's work you do, a page that uses those words, with re-roofs captioned by suburb, shows you've done it before.
When hail tracks across the northern suburbs, as it did over Elizabeth and Craigmore in October 2021, owners want to know that evening whether you're answering the phone. A banner across every page can name the areas you're reaching, say you're only tarping and making safe for now, and point anyone with a dangerous roof to the SES on 132 500.
SA Power Networks said in 2025 that half of South Australian households have rooftop solar, so plenty of re-roofs and restorations begin with panels coming off. Say who removes and refits them, whether you bring in a solar installer or the owner books one, and how it affects your timing, so an owner with panels knows before booking.
SA Health advises against lead flashing and chemically treated timber in roof catchments and recommends first-flush diverters. For owners who drink from their tanks, a line saying which flashings you use on roofs that feed a tank, and whether you fit diverters, answers a question that matters to them and rarely comes up in the suburbs.
Heritage SA's guide dates asbestos roofing in the state from around 1909. The national Asbestos and Silica Safety and Eradication Agency says it is illegal anywhere in Australia to use high-pressure water spray on asbestos materials, and that a tradesperson can't remove asbestos without a removal licence unless the job is under 10 square metres of non-friable material; in South Australia those licences are regulated through SafeWork SA. Say whether you hold one or bring in a licensed removalist, and keep pressure cleaning of those roofs off the site altogether.
Plenty of roof work is sold by letterbox drop and knock on the door, and a careful owner wants to know who they're dealing with before anyone climbs a ladder. A site that shows your trading name, ABN, licence number, base suburb, the workmanship warranty you give in your own words, and finished roofs captioned by suburb answers that before they ring.
Licensing, briefly. In South Australia, building work covers repairing and altering buildings as well as putting them up, so a roofing business contracting with homeowners generally needs a building work contractor's licence from Consumer and Business Services (CBS) under the Building Work Contractors Act 1995. Licence numbers start with BLD, a licence can carry conditions restricting the type of work, and doing work without the right licence carries significant penalties. Plumbing is licensed separately. Our page for Adelaide builders covers the advertising rule, supervisors, indemnity insurance and the public register, and our Adelaide plumbers page covers the plumbing licence. Which conditions fit the roofing work you do is a question for CBS, and your site should list only the work your licence covers.
Old iron, Willunga slate and Marseilles tiles. The guide to early roofing in South Australia that Heritage SA and the City of Adelaide published in 1999 records slate being found at Willunga in 1840, rolled galvanised iron arriving from Britain around 1850, and Marseilles-pattern terracotta tiles reaching the colony in the 1890s, with Wunderlich making its own at Edwardstown from 1922 and concrete tiles displacing them in the popular market from the 1950s. When it was written, many Adelaide villas still had their original roofing iron from the 1880s and 1890s. The City of Norwood Payneham & St Peters' heritage fact sheet on roofs, gutters and downpipes gets specific: traditional galvanised corrugated steel for re-cladding, either Z450 or the heavier-coated Z600; no Zincalume, because it doesn't dull off; OG gutters on Victorian and Edwardian houses and D gutters on those built after 1920; round downpipes; stepped lead chimney flashings kept, or replaced in lead or a lead alloy; and rolled ridge cappings scribed to the sheets. Written under the old Development Act, it treated re-roofing a Local or State Heritage Place as development needing an application. Planning now runs through PlanSA and the state-wide Planning and Design Code, so the safest line on your site sends owners of listed houses to their council before work is booked.
Hail and wind. At 7pm on 22 January 1991, hailstones up to 10 centimetres across fell on Adelaide, breaking roof tiles and windows and letting water into many houses; the Insurance Council estimated the damage at $30 million, or $112 million in 2011 values. On 28 October 2021 the biggest stones, 3 to 5 cm, came down over northern Adelaide around Elizabeth and Craigmore, and more than 1,300 requests for assistance came in across the event. Less than a month later RAA had recorded 3,500 home damage claims, ranging from broken pergolas, skylights and solar panels to whole roofs. Early one Monday at the end of May 2022, a mini tornado swept through the Salisbury area, and a state minister told parliament about 65 properties had been significantly affected. The SA SES takes storm calls on 132 500, lists securing damaged roofs and roof tiles among its storm work, and includes fixing roof damage and clearing gutters, downpipes and drains in its preparation advice. A storm page that starts there, then explains what you do once the owner's insurer is involved, follows the order owners hear it in.
The Hills: bushfire rules and drinking water. Adelaide Hills Council says all land in its area must meet bushfire construction requirements. The Bushfire Attack Level (BAL) decides how a building must be built, new homes in the high-risk overlay are referred to the CFS, and additions or alterations may need a private BAL assessment, so a roofer doing extensions or new roofs up there should say which BAL ratings they've worked to. Tank water raises its own questions. In the ABS's 2013 survey, 46 per cent of South Australian households used water from a rainwater tank, the highest of any state: 34 per cent in Adelaide and 76 per cent in the rest of the state. After a bushfire, SA Health tells owners to disconnect the tank inlet, brush or wash ash and debris off the roof and gutters, and keep the first flush out of the tank. If you take on post-fire roof and gutter clean-ups or tank connections, give them a heading of their own.
Your patch, and working with us. People look for a roofer by the name of their own suburb, and a leak call in the rain covers less ground than a quote for a new roof. We'd set out both in the terms locals use: the northern suburbs from Salisbury up to Gawler, the west and the beaches, the eastern suburbs and inner south, the south down to Aldinga, and the Hills from Stirling to Mount Barker. We're at Ste 3/110 Hutt St, Adelaide. Most of our projects run by phone and email, which suits someone who spends the day on a roof, and if you'd rather sit down with us before starting, that can be arranged. Two of our Adelaide clients are trade businesses close to roofing: SA Painting Professionals, whose services include roof painting, and Bright Building & Renovations.
We haven't built for an Adelaide roofer yet. These two Adelaide businesses come closest: a painting company with roof painting and restoration among its services, and a licensed renovation builder whose site sorts its work by area from the city to the Fleurieu. The review below is from SA Tiling Pro, a tiling company, about working with us.
An Adelaide painting company whose roof painting work has its own page among 12 detailed service pages. Region pages across South Australia and a suburb and postcode search let an owner in Gawler or Goolwa check coverage before ringing, and the online quote form and tap-to-call run through the whole site.

Your BLD number, repairs and re-roofs, the suburbs you cover, a storm notice, roof photos and a quote form that accepts pictures of the damage, on one page.
Our suggestion for most Adelaide roofers
$899
A home page, a leak, hail and storm repairs page, and a re-roofing page covering villa iron, tile roofs and what happens to the solar panels.
$1,499
A home page plus pages for storm repairs, heritage re-roofs, tile and metal re-roofing, gutters and downpipes, asbestos roof replacement and Hills work, and an about page with your licence and insurance.
Your BLD number and the name it's held under, or your registered business name, since South Australia's advertising rule for building work asks for both. If you also hold a plumbing licence, show that number too. We put them in the footer of every page with a link to the CBS licence register, and keep the services on the site to the work your licence covers. Questions about your own licence conditions are best taken to CBS.
Name the details owners have read about. The council's heritage fact sheet favours galvanised corrugated steel over Zincalume, OG gutters on Victorian and Edwardian houses, round downpipes and stepped lead chimney flashings, and Heritage SA's 1999 guide warned owners that some roofers supply Zincalume when galvanised iron is asked for. A line stating which steel you quote, beside photos of finished villas, settles that early. For listed houses, add that the owner should check approvals with the council.
Yes, briefly. With half of South Australian households on rooftop solar, many owners will ask who takes the panels off and puts them back, and whether that's in your price. After the October 2021 hail, RAA named solar panels and skylights among the damage on home claims, so a storm page can say whether you check panels or pass owners on to a solar installer. Send us your wording and we'll set it out.
Email us. We can build a notice into the site in advance so it's ready to switch on, and when a storm comes through you send the words: the suburbs you're getting to, whether it's make-safe work only until the weather clears, and a reminder to call the SES on 132 500 for a dangerous roof, or Triple Zero (000) if anyone's life is at risk. Text changes on existing pages come with the $30 monthly hosting, and we reply within 24 hours.
If your customers drink from their tanks, probably. SA Health advises against lead flashing and treated timber in roof catchments and recommends first-flush diverters, and its bushfire guidance tells owners to disconnect the tank inlet and clean ash off the roof and gutters before collecting again. A short section on the flashings you use, and whether you fit diverters or do post-fire clean-ups, covers it. We link to SA Health rather than give health advice on your behalf.
Yes, if you'd like to: call 0451 072 412 and we'll arrange it. Most projects, Adelaide ones included, run by phone and email. You send your licence details, suburbs and roof photos, we build the draft and send a link to check on your phone, and you pay once you approve it. Prices are the same as anywhere else, from $399 for one page, with no GST added.
Send us your BLD number, the suburbs you cover and a few photos of roofs you've finished. We'll build the draft, you ask for changes until it's right, and nothing is owed until you approve it.
We reply within 24 hours. Prefer email? info@webcraftstudio.com.au
