Roofing in Kensington — local expertise
Kensington runs along Anzac Parade between Moore Park and Kingsford, with the UNSW campus on one side and Randwick Racecourse on the other, and the housing reflects that mix — Federation and interwar brick semis and bungalows on the residential streets, plus a heavy concentration of 1960s-70s walk-up apartment blocks near the university. Two very different jobs come out of Kensington as a result. On the semis, it is the party-wall junction: two houses share a wall that sits proud of the roof line, and the original step flashing has usually been re-mortared rather than re-flashed, so water tracks down the shared wall and shows up as a damp patch in the neighbour's bedroom. That needs new custom-bent step flashing chased into the brickwork, not more mortar. On the Kensington walk-ups it is box gutters and rusted downpipe sumps. Either way we coordinate access with tenants and owners directly and work to a fixed written quote. Crown Roofers uses its own crew on every Kensington job — no subcontractors — under NSW Licence 471250C, with $20M public liability and a 10-year workmanship guarantee.
Crown Roofers looks after roofs across Kensington, and we know the neighbourhood inside out. From the tight streets near the university campus to the quiet residential blocks closer to Anzac Parade, we've worked on every style of roof this 2033 postcode has to offer.
Kensington sits in the Eastern Suburbs with a unique housing mix that keeps us busy year-round. You'll find solid interwar bungalows with original terracotta and concrete tile roofs alongside newer low-rise apartment blocks clad in Colorbond or membrane systems. The older homes often need bedding and pointing work where ridge caps have cracked, and we regularly replace rusted valley irons on those 1920s and 30s roofs. The apartment stock tends to call us out for flashing repairs around parapets and box gutters that weren't detailed properly during construction.
We handle the full scope here in Kensington: roof repairs that stop leaks fast, complete re-roofs when the existing covering has reached end of life, Colorbond installs over timber or steel frames, tile restoration including full rebed and repoint, and gutter and downpipe replacement in Colorbond or Zincalume. Our 24/7 emergency service has pulled plenty of loose sheets off roofs after those southerly gales that funnel up from Botany Bay.

Every job carries our 10-year written workmanship guarantee and $20M public liability cover. We use BlueScope Colorbond steel and source quality terracotta or concrete tiles from local suppliers.

Frequently Asked
Roofing FAQs — Kensington
How much does roof repair cost in Kensington?+
Most roof repairs in Kensington fall between $300 for a small leak fix and $3,500 for storm or extensive damage repairs. Crown Roofers provides a free, fixed-price written quote before any work begins so there are no surprises.
Do you work on heritage and period homes in Kensington?+
Yes. Many Kensington homes are heritage-listed or in conservation areas with original terracotta tile or slate roofs. We restore and replace these sympathetically — matching profiles and colours, sourcing heritage tiles where required, and working within council conservation conditions.
How do you handle salt and sea-spray corrosion on Kensington roofs?+
Coastal Eastern Suburbs roofs near the water take constant salt exposure. We use marine-grade COLORBOND® Ultra and stainless fixings on exposed jobs, and on restorations we treat and seal corroded metal flashings, valleys and fasteners rather than just painting over them.
How long does a roof replacement take in Kensington?+
A typical full roof replacement in Kensington takes 3–7 working days, depending on roof size, pitch and access. Colorbond re-roofs are usually faster than tile roof replacements. We always confirm the timeline in writing before starting.

Yes. We hold NSW Building Licence 471250C and carry $20 million in public liability insurance plus full workers' compensation cover. Every job in Kensington is supervised by a licensed roof plumber.
