SPARK ROOFING & GUTTERING- Newcastle
Trading name of Spark Roofing & Guttering · Newcastle, NSW
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
Spark Roofing & Guttering is a young operation doing one thing emphatically well, if the early evidence holds: full tile-to-Colorbond roof replacements around Newcastle and Lake Macquarie. All eight Google reviews are five stars, and unusually for a small firm, half of them are for complete re-roofs — with suburbs named (Merewether, Warners Bay, Charlestown, Belmont North) and specific detail about fascia, gutters and clean-up. That specificity reads like genuine customers, not filler.
The person behind it is Zac — named in six of the eight reviews, and described by one customer as 'the owner' with a no-'I'll-get-back-to-you-later' approach to answering questions. The company checks out on the Australian Business Register: GST-registered since July 2022, with the Spark Roofing & Guttering business name added in December 2024. That last date matters — the roofing brand is roughly eighteen months old, which squares with the small review count.
Two honest wrinkles from our research. First, the registered company behind the brand is legally named Spark Excavation Hire Pty Ltd — not disqualifying (trades businesses diversify all the time), but you're hiring a roofing brand that's newer than its own company. Second, their website can't decide how experienced they are: one section says 'over 15 years' experience', another says 'over 10 years'. Both are self-claims we couldn't verify, and they can't both be the same number. Ask Zac directly about his background — the workmanship in the reviews suggests there's a real answer.
Reputation across the web New
The same firm, checked across platforms
⚑ Young roofing brand under an excavation-hire company
The 'Spark Roofing & Guttering' business name was only registered in December 2024, and it belongs to SPARK EXCAVATION HIRE PTY LTD (registered July 2022). Nothing about that is improper — the company is active and GST-registered — but it means the roofing brand's own track record is short, and the website's conflicting experience claims ('over 15 years' in one spot, 'over 10 years' in another) do the credibility no favours. Ask who holds the roofing licence, how long the roofing side has actually been trading, and get the warranty in writing with the company's ABN on it.

Who you'll actually deal with
Zac — owner-operator with a crew
Zac is named in six of the eight Google reviews and one customer explicitly calls him the owner, praising a 'professional attitude' where 'all questions and concerns were answered there and then'. We couldn't find his surname on the public record — the ABN behind the business is a company, not a personal registration — so we can't independently confirm his trade history.
What the reviews do show is a crew, not a lone tradie: 'Zac and the boys', 'Zac and his team', working around other trades on an owner-builder project and cleaning up at the end of each day. For full re-roofs — multi-day jobs where your house sits exposed — that team capacity and the daily tidy-up habit are exactly what you want to hear about.
What clients say
In their own words
Zac and the team are exceptional at what they do! We had our roof fully replaced by the team and they were so efficient, skilled and friendly! Very impressed :) would recommend them to anyone!
Had my roof replaced in Merewether with Zac and his team excellent workmanship and service. On time, easy to deal with, and the finished roof looks fantastic. Highly recommend.
Great experience from start to finish. The team were reliable, professional, and the workmanship is top quality. Communication was clear the whole way through and the roof looks amazing. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a roofer you can trust.
All eight reviews are five-star stories of full roof and gutter replacements: on-time crews, clear communication throughout, competitive pricing, daily clean-ups, and finished Colorbond roofs that customers say transformed the house.
Best for
- Full tile-to-Colorbond roof replacements — half their reviews are exactly this job, done across Newcastle and Lake Macquarie suburbs
- Roof, fascia and gutter packages done as one project by one crew
- Owner-builders or renovators who need a roofer that coordinates cleanly with other trades — one reviewer hired them for precisely that
Less suited for
- Tile roof repairs or restorations — the single tile mention in their reviews was a tile roof being replaced with metal, not restored
- Anyone who wants a long, independently verifiable track record — the roofing brand is about eighteen months old with 8 reviews and no ProductReview presence
- Heritage or specialist slate work — no evidence of it anywhere in their reviews or site
Before you commit
Five questions worth asking
- The registered business name sits under Spark Excavation Hire Pty Ltd — how long has the roofing side actually been trading, and who holds the roofing licence?
- Your website says 'over 15 years' experience' in one place and 'over 10 years' in another — what's your actual background, Zac, and can you share references from older jobs?
- Your site mentions work 'backed by a solid warranty' — what does it cover, for how long, and can I have it in writing with the company ABN on it?
- Can I drive past a recent tile-to-Colorbond conversion near me — say Belmont North, Warners Bay or Charlestown — similar to my house?
- On a full re-roof, how do you keep the house watertight overnight and what happens to the schedule if weather turns?
Bottom line
Early days but genuinely promising: a Colorbond re-roofing crew with eight specific, enthusiastic five-star reviews, a verified GST-registered company behind it, and an owner customers deal with directly. Just go in knowing the brand is young — pin down the licence, the warranty terms and Zac's actual experience before signing a full-replacement contract.
