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
This is one of the more established operations among the Hobart roofers we've reviewed. The business name traces back through the ABR to 2000, the company currently behind it has been active and GST-registered since 2001, and it also runs Central Roofing Supplies — meaning they're plugged into their own materials supply chain in Mornington rather than just buying retail. The firm's 'over 20 years' claim is one of the few we've been able to back with actual registration paperwork.
The reviews read like a well-run re-roofing machine. Every one of the twenty most-recent Google reviews is five stars, and the recurring beats are detailed, competitive quotes; crews that turn up on time; and a finish people are genuinely chuffed with — tile-to-Colorbond conversions, full replacements, fascia and gutter refreshes. 'Recommend' appears fifteen times and 'professional' ten. The nicest signal is the honesty one: a customer with leaks from a substandard build praised them for careful assessment and free advice even though they couldn't take the repair on at the time.
The honest caveats are about fit rather than quality. They're clearly geared for full roof replacements and gutter/fascia packages, not odd-job repairs — that leak customer was assessed but not repaired, and repairs barely feature in the review base. Demand also shows: one reviewer flagged that wait times could be 'longer than we would like' (they got lucky with a cancellation), and another liaised with Lindsay for three months before installation. And the 4.8 average implies a couple of quieter, lower star-ratings among the 24 — though nobody has written up a bad experience.

Who you'll actually deal with
Lindsay and the team — with Tom on the tools
Lindsay is the name customers deal with — four reviewers mention him by name, from 'communication with Lindsay was spot on' on an elderly relative's re-roof, to a customer who liaised with him for three months of planning before installation, to a simple 'I would highly recommend Lindsay & his team'. Tom comes up four times as part of the install crew, praised alongside Matt for being on time, courteous and quiet on site, and one reviewer thanks Steph for handling the bulk of the communication. We couldn't find surnames or formal titles anywhere public, so we won't guess at them.
On paper, the operation sits under The Flashing Shop Pty Ltd, a Mornington company that also runs Central Roofing Supplies — so the install crews and a roofing-materials supplier live under the same roof. The firm's own site says it's Tasmanian owned and operated, uses licensed practitioners with full insurances, and guarantees its workmanship; those are their claims, but they square with what two decades of registration records and a unanimous review base suggest.
What clients say
In their own words
They came and assessed our leaks due to substandard build (previous builder), and while unable to repair at this time we were impressed with their care and professionalism, also some extra advice which was appreciated.
Just had fascia and gutters replaced. Great job. Friendly service. Reasonable price. Recommended.
Thank you Lindsay, Tom and the Team did a fantastic job replacing roof. We are very happy. It looks great. So nice to see an enthusiastic team who obviously enjoy their work.
The themes barely vary: a detailed and competitive quote, a crew that turns up when promised, tidy work, and a finish people are delighted with — plus a couple of reviewers singling out honest advice given with nothing to gain.
Best for
- Full roof replacements and tile-to-Colorbond conversions — the bulk of the review base, consistently praised for finish and price
- Gutter, fascia and downpipe packages — six reviewers had exteriors work done and none has a complaint
- Anyone who values a thorough, honest quote — multiple reviews single out the detailed quoting process, and one praises free advice on a job they didn't even take
Less suited for
- Small one-off repairs — the one leak-assessment reviewer was impressed but told they couldn't take the repair on at the time
- Urgent jobs on a tight clock — one reviewer flagged longer-than-ideal wait times, and another planned with Lindsay for three months before installation
- Anyone wanting a second independent rating to lean on — there's no ProductReview presence, so Google is the only scoreboard
Before you commit
Five questions worth asking
- What's the current lead time for a full re-roof, and how firm is the start date once we book?
- Do you take on smaller repair jobs at the moment, or is the crew focused on replacements and gutter packages?
- Who will manage my job day-to-day — Lindsay? — and who do I call while the crew's on the roof?
- You mention licensed practitioners with full insurances — can you show the licence and public liability certificates with the quote?
- What exactly does your workmanship guarantee cover, for how long, and can I have it in writing?
Bottom line
A genuinely established Mornington operation — 20-plus years of paperwork, its own supply arm, and twenty straight five-star reviews praising quotes, crews and finish. Just book early and be realistic about wait times, and don't expect them to chase small repair jobs.
