    Hi there,
    I inspected a potential IP on Saturday and am looking at putting in an offer. The property has a 2BR house (around 10 squares) with plans and permit to build another 2BR unit. Upon visual inspection I noticed the roof (tiled roof, terracotta I think) has got moss and fungus and requires restoration work. I was wondering if someone can tell me a quick and rough estimate for the restoration work. I will be getting building and pest inspection and subsequently estimates from tradesmen for any repairs but just want to get a rough cost estimate for roof restoration before I put my offer in.
    Any help will be appreciated.
    Thanks

    Hello,
    I recently got a quote for a roof restoration on a standard 2/3 bedroom Californian Bungalow (can’t remember exact size) that had unglazed terracotta roof tiles with very bad moss. The quotes ranged from $1850 – $2400 which included a high pressure wash to remove the moss, an insecticide to prevent future moss growth, re-cementing the cappings & replacement of any cracked/damaged tiles. This was in Metro Sydney.
