Roof Restoration
Trading name of ABC Roof Restorations Perth · Perth, WA
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 listing shows up on Google as just 'Roof Restoration', which undersells what's actually here: a Heathridge sole trader named Ian Gash who, going by the Australian Business Register, has been trading under names like ABC Roof Restorations Perth and ABC Roof Restoration Joondalup — with a painting-trade history stretching back to a trading name registered in 2000. Ian is named in 31 places across the firm's 20 Google reviews, which for a one-man band is about as personal as a review record gets.
And it's quite a record. A perfect 5.0 across 20 reviews, with one story that tells you most of what you need to know: a homeowner quoted over $15,000 by another company had Ian come out, find the actual problem straight away, and fix it for $600. Several other reviewers describe him finding and fixing leaks that other companies couldn't, repairing botched work left by previous tradies, and turning faded tile and metal roofs around at prices people repeatedly call reasonable. Price is the second-most-mentioned theme in the reviews after 'recommend'.
Be clear-eyed about the scale, though. There's no website, the ABN's current active period only began in April 2026 (a re-activation, by the look of the older business names attached to it), and it isn't registered for GST — all of which says very small operation, likely just Ian. Twenty reviews is also a modest sample next to the bigger Perth restoration firms we've reviewed. None of that is a red flag for small repair and restoration jobs; it just means the paperwork side is on you to check.
Reputation across the web New
The same firm, checked across platforms
⚑ One business, several names — don't get confused
The Google listing says just 'Roof Restoration', but one reviewer thanks 'ABC Roof Restorations' — and that's not a mis-attributed review. The ABR shows the same sole trader holds a stack of registered names: ABC Roof Restorations Perth, ABC Roof Restoration Joondalup, Roof Restoration Joondalup, Roof Restoration Sorrento, Roof Repair Joondalup and Joondalup Roof Restoration. It's all Ian. Separately, the 'ABC Roof Restoration' you'll find on ProductReview is an unrelated Brisbane company — don't read its reviews as this firm's.

Who you'll actually deal with
Ian Gash — owner-operator
This is Ian's business in every sense. He's named in 31 places across the 20 Google reviews — answering calls quickly, quoting, dodging Perth's wet-weather windows, and doing the work himself, sometimes into a Friday evening per one reviewer. The Australian Business Register confirms the ABN behind the Heathridge listing belongs to sole trader Ian William Gash.
The ABR record also sketches his background: a legacy trading name 'ABC Painting Service' registered back in April 2000 and 'abc painters perth' from 2016, before the roof restoration names took over from 2020 onward. That painting pedigree lines up with what reviewers praise most about his restorations — the finish. We couldn't verify anyone else working with him, so assume a one-man operation.
What clients say
In their own words
Ian was fantastic! We’d been quoted over $15,000 by another company, but he came out, found the real issue straight away and fixed it for $600. Super honest, friendly and did a great job. Saved us a fortune. Highly recommend!
Our old roof looks brand new again. Very professional and highly experienced and knowledgeable about the problems with our roof. Fixed all our long standing leaks that other companies couldn't find. Highly recommend Ian.
I highly recommend Ian to do a Metal Roof Restoration. The finish job made our old faded Metal roof look brand new again. He really transformed our Roof, it looks brand new again. Ian did a fantastic Job at a responsible cost. Extremely happy with his service, knowledge and expertise.
The recurring themes are honesty — diagnosing the real problem instead of selling a bigger job — sharp prices, leaks fixed that other companies couldn't find, and tile and metal roofs coming up like new.
Best for
- Leak detection and repair, especially where other companies have failed to find the source
- Tile and metal roof restorations and repaints at a fair price, with an experienced painter's eye for finish
- Homeowners who want to deal with one person from quote to cleanup — no sales layer, no crew roulette
Less suited for
- Large or complex projects that need a multi-person crew, formal project management and firm scheduling
- Businesses that need a GST tax invoice — the ABR shows this ABN is not currently registered for GST
- Anyone who wants a website, written warranties and a thick paper trail before picking up the phone — there's no website at all
Before you commit
Five questions worth asking
- Which of your registered business names will be on my quote and invoice — ABC Roof Restorations Perth, Roof Restoration Joondalup, or another?
- The ABR shows your ABN isn't currently registered for GST — can you confirm how that's reflected in your pricing and invoices?
- Do you carry current public liability insurance, and can you show the certificate before work starts?
- For a restoration, which coating products do you use, and what warranty on the work will you put in writing?
- If my job is too big for one person, who works alongside you, and are they covered by your insurance?
Bottom line
A verified one-man band with a flawless 20-review record and a rare, well-documented honesty streak — exactly who you want for leaks, repairs and restorations at the small-to-mid end. For big jobs needing a crew and formal paperwork, look at the larger outfits instead.
