Canberra Roofing Repairs
Canberra, ACT
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
We'll be upfront: this is one of the least verifiable Canberra roofers we've reviewed. There's no ABN or registered entity name anywhere on their website, no owner or staff named publicly, and we couldn't tie the firm to any record on the Australian Business Register with confidence — the closest matches are similarly generic names registered at other Canberra postcodes, which is exactly the situation where guessing does more harm than good. None of that means the business isn't legitimate; it means the usual paper trail we rely on simply isn't visible.
The review base is too small to lean on either. A perfect 5.0 sounds nice, but it rests on just 4 Google reviews, and only one of them contains any actual words — a short, happy note about a roof repair. There are no recurring themes to mine, no named tradesperson customers keep thanking, and no evidence yet of the bigger jobs (re-roofs, restorations) the website advertises.
The website itself gave us pause. It claims over 25 years of experience, certification and licensing, and a lifetime workmanship guarantee — but the FAQ literally contains 'XXXX' placeholder text where the licence details and insurance figure should be, template copy that was never filled in. It also discloses a $200 inc GST quote fee, where many Canberra roofers offer free inspections. Again, none of this proves anything untoward — but it does mean every claim on that site needs verifying in person before you hand over money.
Reputation across the web New
The same firm, checked across platforms
⚑ Unverifiable identity and placeholder credentials
We couldn't find an ABN on the firm's website or confidently match one on the Australian Business Register, no owner or staff member is named anywhere, and the site's own FAQ shows 'XXXX' placeholder text where the licence number and insurance amount should appear. Before engaging, ask for the ABN, registered company name, licence details and insurance certificate — and note the $200 quote fee the site discloses, which many competitors don't charge.
Business registration
No verified ABN on file
We couldn't match Canberra Roofing Repairs to a single ABN on the public register with confidence. Rather than show a number we're unsure of, we've left it blank — and the identity check scores 0 out of 25 in their Trust Score, which is why it sits below firms we could verify. We couldn't confidently verify an ABN for this firm. Their website shows no ABN, no registered company name and no owner's name, and the Australian Business Register has no exact 'Canberra Roofing Repairs' registration. The two nearest candidates — CANBERRA ROOFING REPAIRS AND REPLACEMENT PTY LTD (ACT 2911) and CANBERRA ROOF REPAIR SERVICES (ACT 2914) — are similar generic names at different Canberra postcodes from the firm's Belconnen address, and nothing on the firm's site ties it to either. Rather than guess, we're marking this unverified. If the firm can point us at their ABN, we'll gladly update.
Checked against the official Australian Business Register (abr.business.gov.au). A business can trade legitimately without a registered business name matching its trading name, so this isn't a mark against them — but it's worth asking for their ABN before you engage. If this is your business, claim this listing to add your ABN and we'll verify it.

Who you'll actually deal with
The team — no names public
We genuinely can't tell you who runs Canberra Roofing Repairs. No owner, manager or tradesperson is named on the website, none of the 4 Google reviews mentions a person by name, and with no ABN to trace we couldn't identify the registered entity behind the trading name. That's unusual — most Canberra roofers we've reviewed have at least one identifiable human attached.
The firm's site describes itself at team level ('certified and licensed to carry out all manner of roof repairs' with 'over 25 years of experience', on their own telling). Whoever answers the phone on 0404 722 449 should be able to tell you exactly who would be on your roof — that's the first question we'd ask.
What clients say
In their own words
Very happy with the work from Canberra Roofing Repairs for fixing my roof:)
There's only one written review to go on — a short, happy note about a roof repair — so no recurring themes can honestly be drawn yet.
Best for
- Getting an extra quote to compare against better-established Canberra roofers — competition never hurts
- Small repair jobs where you can verify the licence, insurance and ABN yourself before work starts
- Belconnen locals who prefer dealing with a nearby outfit and are comfortable doing their own due diligence
Less suited for
- Any job requiring a significant deposit — with no verifiable entity behind the trading name, we'd want the paperwork sorted first
- Homeowners who want a review-backed track record — 4 reviews with one written comment isn't one yet
- Re-roofs and restorations sight-unseen — the website sells them, but there's no public evidence of completed projects at that scale
Before you commit
Five questions worth asking
- What's your ABN and the registered company name behind 'Canberra Roofing Repairs'?
- Your website says you're certified and licensed, but the licence details show placeholder text — can you show me the actual licence?
- Can you show a current insurance certificate before any work starts?
- The site mentions a lifetime workmanship guarantee — can I have exactly what that covers, in writing?
- Can you give me two or three recent local customers as references, and confirm the $200 quote fee before you come out?
Bottom line
We found nothing bad about Canberra Roofing Repairs — but we also found almost nothing verifiable: no traceable ABN, no named people, four reviews and placeholder text where credentials belong. If you like their quote, make them earn it with paperwork before money changes hands.
