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
When Radiant Roof Repairs actually gets on your roof, the evidence says you'll be happy. Across 123 Google reviews averaging 4.7, the praise is specific and consistent: Alex — named in 13 of the 20 most recent reviews — diagnoses problems on the spot, explains what he finds without upselling, and turns up with a crew (Brendan and Mani get mentions too) that finishes on time and on budget. One customer describes them tracking down matching tiles from 1974; another, a chartered professional in the engineering build industry, says he'll be using them again. The company checks out on the register too, GST-active at the right Mermaid Waters postcode.
But we'd be doing you a disservice if we didn't tell you about the other pattern, because it's loud. Of the 20 most recent Google reviews, five are one-star — including the two most recent — and every single one tells the same story: bookings cancelled, appointments missed, calls and messages that go unanswered. One reviewer was stood up twice; another emailed from a few streets away in Mermaid Waters and never heard back. Nobody in those five complains about workmanship — they complain they never got any. Whatever is going on with scheduling at this firm, it's been going on for at least six months.
A small honesty footnote: one of the recent five-star reviews is from the firm's own bookkeeper ('We handle the bookkeeping for Radiant Roof…') — a nice sentiment, but not a roofing customer, so we've discounted it. On balance: the trade skills look genuinely good, the reliability of getting them to show up looks genuinely shaky, and the 'over two decades' story on their site sits atop a company registered in June 2023. Go in with confirmation habits — written appointment times, a follow-up call the day before — and the odds are the version of Radiant you get is the good one.
Reputation across the web New
The same firm, checked across platforms
⚑ Five recent one-star reviews tell the same no-show story
Within the 20 most recent Google reviews, five customers independently report cancelled bookings, missed appointments and unanswered calls or messages — and the two most recent reviews at the time of our check were both in that group. None of them criticise the actual roofing work; all of them describe never getting to the point where work happened. That's a consistent, current pattern rather than a one-off bad day, so factor it into how you book: confirm in writing, and have a plan B if the quote visit doesn't happen.

Who you'll actually deal with
Alex — the face of the business
Alex is named in 13 of the firm's 20 most recent reviews — far more than anyone else — and the picture that emerges is of the principal who does the inspections personally: thorough, friendly, quick to identify a fault, and repeatedly praised for giving reassurance rather than an upsell. When reviewers mention the wider crew, Brendan appears twice and Mani once, both positively; one customer describes 'Alex, Brenden and the boys' giving their roof a full check-over.
The flip side is that Alex is also the name in the complaints — 'difficulty getting a response and quote done by Alex', promised visits that didn't happen. In a business this owner-centred, both the quality and the bottlenecks run through the same person. The firm says on its own site that it's a family business grown over two decades with QBCC-licensed professionals; the register shows the company itself dates from June 2023.
What clients say
In their own words
Alex was professional and friendly. Similar to other posts he was able to identify the issue on the spot and provided recommendations to resolve the issue. As a chartered professional in the engineering build industry I will be using them again.
Alex from Radiant Roof Repairs was excellent. He was able to attend my property quickly, his communication was great and he was punctual. Alex is knowledgeable and was able to give me a solution and provide reassurance without unnecessarily upselling me. I would definitely recommend.
Alex and the team at Radiant Roof Repairs got the roof back to full working order.Found matching tiles from 1974. Throughout the whole process kept us up to-date. There were challenges and the team worked around them completing the task within budget.
The positive reviews circle the same themes — Alex's on-the-spot diagnosis, professionalism, friendly crews and no-surprises pricing — while the negative ones circle a single different theme: bookings and quotes that never happened.
Best for
- Leak diagnosis and tile roof repairs where you want the principal on your roof working it out in person — that's the story told over and over in the five-star reviews
- Older tile roofs needing matched materials — one detailed review credits them with sourcing matching tiles from 1974 and finishing within budget
- Homeowners who value straight answers over upselling — several reviewers specifically note being reassured rather than sold to
Less suited for
- Anyone whose job is urgent enough that a missed appointment is a real problem — five recent reviewers report no-shows and unanswered follow-ups
- People who want a long corporate track record behind a warranty — the 10-year workmanship warranty is the firm's own claim, and the company backing it dates from June 2023
- Those who expect responsive email quoting — at least one reviewer a few streets from their office says an emailed repair request went unanswered
Before you commit
Five questions worth asking
- Can you confirm my inspection time in writing, and who do I call if nobody arrives? Several recent reviewers report cancelled or missed bookings.
- What's your QBCC licence number, and can I verify it before we start?
- Your site mentions a 10-year workmanship warranty — can I get the exact terms in writing, and which entity stands behind it?
- Will Alex be doing my inspection and quote personally, and who actually carries out the repair work?
- Your site says over two decades of service, but the company registered in 2023 — what's the story of the business before then?
Bottom line
The roofing itself earns its 4.7 — specific, repeated praise for Alex's diagnosis and fair dealing — but a current cluster of one-star no-show reports means the real risk isn't bad work, it's no work. Book them with written confirmations and a fallback, and you'll likely get the roofer the other 100-plus reviewers are raving about.
