Roof storm damage Newcastle homeowners deal with can range from a few cracked tiles to whole sections of roof lifted by wind or punctured by branches. Whether you are in Newcastle, Maitland, Lake Macquarie, Port Stephens or out in the Hunter Valley, we can help make your roof safe, protect your home from further water damage and carry out lasting repairs.
If your roof has been damaged during a storm, then Town and Country Roof Restoration can provide storm damage repairs at an affordable rate.
Whether you need general roofing repairs or want a quote for a full re-roofing job, we can provide whatever you need. The good news about roof repairs and replacements is that they don't have to be expensive or difficult.


Working with domestic, commercial and industrial customers throughout Newcastle and the surrounding areas, we can also handle insurance storm damage claims.
When a storm has just torn through, the first priority is stopping more water getting in and making the roof safe. We offer emergency services for the entire Newcastle area, including Maitland, Lake Macquarie, the Hunter Valley and Port Stephens.
Emergency work is about stabilising the roof so the damage does not spread. Depending on what the storm has done, that can include:
If a section of the roof cannot be repaired straight away, temporary protection such as a properly secured tarp can help keep rain out until a permanent fix is possible, where it is safe and practical to do so. A tarp that is badly fitted can blow loose or channel water into the roof, so it needs to be secured carefully and checked if more wild weather is on the way.
A temporary fix is only the first step. Once the weather settles, we come back to inspect the roof properly, work out the full extent of the damage and give you a free quote for permanent repairs. That might be replacing broken tiles, re-pointing ridge caps, replacing valleys and flashings or, in severe cases, re-roofing part or all of the roof. See our re-roofing page.

A few steps that usually help:
Every policy is different, so always check the details with your insurer. Our blogs on navigating storm damage and insurance claims for Newcastle roofs and maximising your insurance payout after storm roof damage go into more detail.


Newcastle and the Hunter are no strangers to wild weather. Spring and summer bring thunderstorms with strong winds, heavy rain and sometimes hail. Along the coast, east coast lows can hit with damaging winds and prolonged heavy rain. Inland around Maitland and the Hunter Valley, hot afternoons often end in sudden storms.
Each type of weather damages roofs differently:
Older homes with worn bedding, brittle tiles or rusted valleys tend to suffer most. Getting your roof checked before storm season is one of the best ways to reduce the risk. Read protecting your Newcastle roof before storm season hits.
Not all storm damage is obvious. Cracked tiles, shifted ridge caps and lifted flashings can go unnoticed until the next heavy downpour. Watch for new ceiling stains, musty smells, damp insulation, tiles out of line when viewed from the ground and gutters that suddenly overflow. Our article on the hidden signs of storm damage most homeowners miss covers more. Our roof leak detection service can find the source of any new leaks.

Stay off the roof and keep yourself safe. Put buckets and towels under the leak, move valuables and switch off power to any area where water is near electrical fittings. Take photos for your insurer, then call us on 0409 030 161 so we can arrange to make the roof safe and repair the damage.

It depends on the extent of the damage and the overall condition of the roof. Many storm-damaged roofs only need targeted repairs such as replacing broken tiles or re-pointing. Severely damaged or older roofs may be better replaced. We can advise you on the best long-term solution for both cost and performance.
Yes. A storm can crack tiles, shift ridge caps or lift flashings without causing an immediate leak. The problem may only show up in the next heavy rain. If your area has been hit by a big storm, it is worth having the roof checked so small problems are fixed before they cause water damage inside.
