Websites for Brisbane roof tilers, metal roofers and restorers that name the QBCC licence class you actually hold, tell owners from The Gap to Wynnum whether you're taking hail repairs this week, and show how you handle the iron on an old Queenslander, with one tap to call from any page.
Brisbane roofing runs on two kinds of week. In most of them owners are planning: a restoration before a sale, a reroof over a tired iron roof, a leak that has already been patched twice. Then a spring storm drops hail across a band of suburbs and hundreds of households want someone up a ladder at once, usually with an insurer involved. One site has to serve both without being rebuilt each time.
Queensland splits roofing into a roof tiling class and a roof and wall cladding class, and an owner who looks you up on the QBCC register sees which one you hold. We put the class, the licence number and the name it's held under in the footer of every page, with the statement that you're licensed under the QBCC Act, so your site and the register say the same thing.
When a cell crosses the western suburbs or the bayside, a banner across every page can say which suburbs you're attending, whether you're only tarping and making safe for now, and roughly when you'll be quoting permanent repairs. It's a text change covered by hosting: it goes up when you email us and comes down when the phones settle.
The Insurance Council tells storm-hit owners to talk to their insurer before authorising any repairs, emergency ones included, and to get approval in writing. A short paragraph on what you hand over for an assessor, such as dated photos and a written scope of works, answers the question nearly every hail customer opens with.
If you re-sheet Queenslanders and workers' cottages, give those jobs their own gallery with the suburb and the profile you matched in each caption. Owners of character houses want proof you'll replace like with like, because in Brisbane's character overlays switching to a different material can bring council approval into the job.
The QBCC warns that a house built before 1990 has a good chance of containing asbestos, and a business needs an asbestos removal licence, at least Class B, to remove more than 10 square metres of non-friable asbestos. Say whether you hold one and remove asbestos-cement roofs yourself, or which licensed removalist you bring in, and you save everyone a wasted inspection.
Both QBCC roofing classes cover refurbishing and maintaining roofs but leave out painting them, and painting is a class of its own. If your restorations finish with a paint coat, list the licence that covers that part beside your roofing licence, or name the licensed painter you bring in, so an owner can see the whole job is accounted for.
Licences. Queensland requires a QBCC licence for building work valued over $3,300, and roofing has two classes. Roof tiling covers cutting and fixing tiles of concrete, clay or metal, along with shingles and shakes, setting out battens, bedding and pointing, safety mesh, sarking, anti-ponding boards and skylights. Roof and wall cladding covers roof cladding other than terracotta and concrete tiles, making and fitting rainwater goods, flashing roof penetrations such as skylights and ventilators, and fascias and soffits. Both include refurbishing and maintaining roofs, both exclude painting them, and work from another class is allowed only as incidental work under $3,300, with occupational work such as plumbing or drainage off limits unless you hold that licence. The QBCC's advertising rules treat your website, social pages and listings on directories such as hipages as ads, which must show the name the licence is held under, the number and that you're licensed under the QBCC Act. Our Brisbane builders page goes through those rules in more detail.
Hail. On 24 and 25 November 2025, storms with hail up to 15 cm across and strong winds damaged thousands of homes in south-east Queensland. The state's income-tested hardship grants opened to 15 Brisbane localities: Ashgrove, Bardon, The Gap, Ferny Grove, Keperra and Mount Crosby in the west, Boondall in the north, and Wynnum, Wynnum West, Manly, Manly West, Lota, Gumdale, Wakerley and Ransome on the bayside. The Insurance Council declared an insurance catastrophe for south-east Queensland on 25 November, with insurers on the ground in communities including Brisbane, Logan and Bribie Island, then widened the declaration to every postcode in Queensland and New South Wales for storms between 20 and 27 November; by August 2026 it counted 96.8 thousand claims and $2.30 billion incurred across both states. Brisbane's other benchmark storm is the supercell of 27 November 2014: tennis-ball hail, gusts up to 144 km/h, at least 22,000 homes damaged and about $1.04 billion in insurance losses, with about 350 SES volunteers and 100 firefighters tying tarpaulins onto roofs.
After a storm. When ex-Tropical Cyclone Alfred came through in March 2025, the Insurance Council named Brisbane among the most affected areas and told owners to speak to their insurer before starting or authorising building work, emergency repairs included, and to get permission in writing. The QBCC reminded owners that work over $3,300 has to be done by an appropriately licensed person under a contract, pointed them to its free contractor search, which shows a licensee's history, and recommended its disaster recovery contracts for repairs after a natural disaster. A roofing site that names the contract you use and invites owners to check your licence lines up with what both bodies are telling them.
Old houses. Brisbane City Council's severe weather fact sheet, dated March 2025, says rebuilding or repairing a lawful house like-for-like after storm damage doesn't need a development application, and external repairs in the same materials need no approval. Repairs in different materials may need one if the house sits in the Traditional building character or Pre-1911 building overlay, and on a heritage-listed building, removing or replacing any part needs a development application unless an exemption certificate has been issued. Owners can check their property through City Plan online. For a roofer who re-sheets old houses, a sentence on the reroofing page suggesting owners check their overlay before changing materials is useful without straying into approval advice.
Brisbane owners tend to say northside or southside rather than name a council ward, so we'd set out your area as northside, southside, the western suburbs and the bayside, naming the suburbs you'll reach for a leak and the wider area you cover for reroofs, plus any regular work in Moreton Bay, Logan, Ipswich or Redland. We're an Adelaide team at Ste 3/110 Hutt St and work with Queensland businesses by phone and email; our Queensland clients include M.J. Debney Plumbing & Gas and a dance school at Thorneside, and we haven't yet built a site for a Brisbane roofer. You send your licence details, suburbs and roof photos, we send a draft link, and you pay once you approve it.
None of our clients is a Brisbane roofer. M.J. Debney Plumbing & Gas is a licensed Queensland trade business, and its single page shows how much a swipeable job gallery and a protected contact form can carry. SA Painting Professionals in Adelaide includes roof painting among its services, each with a page of its own.
A licensed Queensland plumber and gas fitter covering general plumbing, gas, hot water, bathroom renovations, drainage and backflow. One page with a six-service overview, a 13-photo gallery that swipes on a phone, client testimonials, a protected contact form and tap-to-call.

Our suggestion for most Brisbane roofers
$899
A home page, a hail and storm repairs page you can update while a storm is on, and a reroofing and restoration page with your old-house work.
$1,499
A home page plus pages for tiled roofs, metal reroofs, restorations, asbestos roof replacement, insurance work and inspections, and an about page with your licences.
The name your licence is held under, the licence number and a statement that you're licensed under the QBCC Act, legible and reasonably prominent; the QBCC says a trading name on its own will most likely fall short. We also name the class, roof tiling or roof and wall cladding, because that's what an owner sees on the register. The QBCC logo can't go on your material at all, but there's no restriction on linking to the QBCC website.
Yes, as long as you're working there. The November 2025 storms reached from The Gap and Ferny Grove to Wynnum and Manly, and owners search by their own suburb. A notice naming where you're attending, updated by email as the work moves across town, is a text change included in the $30 monthly hosting.
Show the jobs and the profiles you matched, and leave approvals to the owner and council. Brisbane City Council's guidance says like-for-like storm repairs on a lawful house don't need a development application, while different materials on a house in a character or pre-1911 overlay may. A line pointing owners to City Plan online to check their property is enough.
If you come across fibro roofs, yes. In Queensland, removing more than 10 square metres of non-friable asbestos, such as asbestos-cement sheeting, needs an asbestos removal licence, at least Class B. Say whether you hold one or name the removalist you work with, because it's one of the first things the owner of an older house asks.
