Long Life Roofs
Trading name of LONG LIFE ROOFS PTY LTD · Adelaide, SA
AustralianRoofers Trust Score New
How it's calculated: a transparent, evidence-weighted score — identity & longevity from the public ABN register, reputation from verified Google reviews, and consistency from cross-checking independent platforms. Grades are proportional to the evidence. Where we search the register and can't confirm a business, the identity check scores zero rather than being quietly left out — so a firm we couldn't verify never outranks one we could. Longevity stays unscored in that case, because without a registration date there's nothing to measure.
Our honest take
Let's start with what checks out: LONG LIFE ROOFS PTY LTD is a real, active, GST-registered SA company at the right postcode, and its 5.0 from 31 Google reviews contains some genuinely persuasive stories — a persistent Sheidow Park leak that a previous contractor couldn't fix diagnosed in ten minutes and repaired the same day, a gutter job where the crew recommended only what was actually needed with 'no pushy sales', and a tough restoration where they cleared gutter debris unprompted. That's the texture of real customers describing real jobs.
Now the honest wrinkle from our research: the company registration only dates from December 2025 — this Pty Ltd is under a year old. Their website says they've been 'a trusted name in Adelaide roofing for more than 10 years', and while plenty of tradies incorporate after years as a sole trader, we couldn't find anything on the register to confirm a longer history. So the paper trail says 'new company', the marketing says 'decade of experience', and you should ask them directly to square the two.
The review pile also deserves a slightly closer read than the headline 5.0 suggests. The detailed reviews are excellent and specific — restorations in Trott Park and Reynella, a whirlybird install, a 24-hour repair turnaround. But a fair chunk of the 20 recent reviews we read are one-liners ('Good job') or star-only ratings with no text. None of that is evidence of anything improper; it just means the effective sample of substantive feedback is smaller than 31, and there's no ProductReview or other independent source to cross-check against.
Reputation across the web New
The same firm, checked across platforms
⚑ Company registration is months old, not '10+ years'
The ABN for LONG LIFE ROOFS PTY LTD was registered on 1 December 2025, yet the firm's website claims more than a decade in Adelaide roofing. That gap isn't necessarily a red flag — tradies often incorporate after years operating as sole traders — but we couldn't verify any earlier trading history, so the '10+ years' is their claim, not something the register supports. Ask who the licensed builder is and how long they've personally been on the tools.

What they're actually known for New
Ranked by what customers mention — not a self-declared list
Who you'll actually deal with
The team — with Basil and Kashif on the tools
We couldn't identify an owner or director by name — the firm's about page names nobody, and the register only gives us the company. What the reviews do give us is 'Basil, Kashif and the team', credited by one customer with a 'spectacular roof restoration' on a tough job. So we know at least two of the crew by first name, but not who actually runs the show — worth asking when you call.
On their own site the firm claims over 10 years' experience, hundreds of projects, builder licence BLD 357318, and a promise to beat any genuine written restoration quote by 5%. All self-claims we haven't independently verified — the licence number in particular is worth checking against SA Consumer and Business Services, especially given how new the company registration is.
What clients say
In their own words
Basil, Kashif and the team completed a spectacular roof restoration for us! It was a tough job that they did with ease and even helped clear out some debris from the gutters as well! Highly recommended for any roof work. Keep up the great work guys 👌🏽🙌🏽
Excellent service from contractors who clearly know their trade. They explained everything properly, no pushy sales, and only recommended what was actually needed. The new gutters look great and the price was fair for the quality of work. Very happy with the result.
We had a persistent roof leak in Sheidow Park that a previous contractor couldn’t fix. Long Life Roofs found the problem within 10 minutes and repaired it the same day. Honest, reliable, and great communication. Definitely the best for roof repairs
The recurring themes are reliability and fair pricing — quick responses, honest no-upsell advice, tidy sites, and repair or restoration work that fixed problems other contractors couldn't.
Best for
- Roof restorations — the single most-mentioned job in their reviews, with customers in Trott Park and Reynella describing finishes that look brand new
- Stubborn leaks and urgent repairs — one reviewer had a leak diagnosed in ten minutes and fixed the same day, another got a repair done within 24 hours
- Gutter replacement and smaller jobs like whirlybird installs — several reviewers praise fair pricing and crews that only recommend what's actually needed
Less suited for
- Anyone who wants a long, verifiable corporate track record — the Pty Ltd has only existed since December 2025, whatever the marketing says
- Large full re-roof projects where you'd want a deep documented portfolio — full replacement barely features in their review history compared with repairs and restorations
- People who like to cross-check ratings across platforms — with no ProductReview listing, the 5.0 rests entirely on Google
Before you commit
Five questions worth asking
- Your site lists builder licence BLD 357318 — who holds it, and can I verify it's current with SA Consumer and Business Services?
- The company was only registered in December 2025 but your site says 10+ years in the trade — what was the business trading as before, and who's the principal?
- What warranty do you offer on restoration coatings and workmanship, and can I get the terms in writing?
- Who will actually be doing my job — your own crew (the reviews mention Basil and Kashif) or subcontractors?
- Can you show me a current public liability insurance certificate and a couple of recent local jobs I could look at?
Bottom line
The reviews paint a picture of a responsive, honest, fairly-priced repair-and-restoration crew, and nothing we found contradicts that. But the company registration is under a year old while the website claims a decade — get the licence, insurance and history confirmed before you hand over a deposit on anything big.
