SOS Roofing
Trading name of SOS Roofing 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
SOS Roofing is the kind of outfit you call when water's coming in, and the reviews back that up in unusually specific ways: a crew at an elderly man's house within 24 hours of heavy rain, a same-evening 7pm torchlight visit after a ceiling collapsed in a storm, a job squeezed in and finished before the next front arrived. At 4.5 stars from 39 Google reviews they sit a notch below the very top Perth roofers we've reviewed, but the texture of the praise — honesty, fair pricing, fixing other contractors' dodgy work — is the good kind.
The registration checks out. We verified the 'SOS Roofing Perth' business name on the Australian Business Register: it's held by a trading trust whose ABN has been active and GST-registered since May 2016, registered in Yokine — the same suburb as their Chaucer St address. That's ten years of paperwork history. What you won't find is much public identity: their own site names no owner, lists no accreditations and gives no years-in-business figure, describing itself simply as a reliable Perth roofing business with no call-out fee. Nothing wrong with that, but you're trusting the reviews more than the résumé.
The honest bit: three of the twenty most recent Google reviews are below four stars. Two are thin (one just says 'poor customer service'), but one is detailed and worth reading — a repeat customer says an April 2025 roof inspection pronounced the roof fine, only for a major leak the next month to reveal a ridge line needing full repointing, and says they were charged for tiles they didn't ask for. For a firm whose bread and butter is repairs and inspections, that's the complaint that matters most.
Reputation across the web New
The same firm, checked across platforms
⚑ One detailed complaint about a missed inspection
A repeat customer's 2-star review says an April 2025 inspection by SOS found nothing beyond a few tiles — then a big leak the following month revealed a ridge line needing repointing to the hip, valley problems and many broken tiles, plus a charge for tiles the customer says they didn't need. It's one account, and the same customer had a good first experience in 2024, but if you're paying for an inspection, ask for a written, photographed report of ridges and valleys so there's no ambiguity about what was checked.

Who you'll actually deal with
The team — with Vanessa in the office
We couldn't put an owner's name to this firm — reviews talk about 'the team' and 'the guys', and the company's own site doesn't introduce anyone. The one person reviewers do name is Vanessa in the office, credited with next-day callbacks and getting a job booked within a month when other companies quoted long waits. A responsive office is worth more than it sounds in this trade.
The registration tells us it's a trust-run local operation out of Yokine trading since 2016, and reviewers describe a consistent crew that turns up fast, explains what it's doing and cleans up. But if knowing exactly who's behind a business matters to you, you'll need to ask them directly — the public record and website don't say.
What clients say
In their own words
Very happy with SOS Roofing. Gave them a difficult roofing and roof plumbing job across two old buildings. Despite some unexpected issues, job was done very well and on the budget that was agreed.
Excellent and honest company. I have needed SOS roofing twice now and both times they have been amazing to deal with and provided me excellent service at great value. Prior to their quote I sought others and many people were trying to rip me off. Thank you SOS roofing.
SOS Roofing did a really great job with our roof! We had it repointed, cleaned and a valley replaced. SOS was meticulous in completing the work and made sure we were happy with everything along the way. Highly recommend.
Reviewers keep praising rapid response in wet weather, honest and competitively priced quotes, and meticulous repair work — offset by a couple of terse negatives and one detailed complaint about an inspection that missed major problems.
Best for
- Urgent leak and storm damage response — multiple reviews describe same-day or next-day attendance, including one same-evening emergency visit
- Repointing, ridge capping, valley and flashing repairs on older tiled roofs — the meticulous, mid-sized jobs most reviewers describe
- Homeowners burnt by inflated quotes elsewhere — more than one reviewer says SOS's price and honesty stood out against competitors
Less suited for
- Full roof replacements or tile-to-metal conversions — there's no review evidence of big replacement work, and the firm's own service list stops at repairs and maintenance
- Anyone who wants to know exactly who owns and runs the company before hiring — no owner is named anywhere public
- Buyers who rely on paid inspections for pre-purchase certainty — read the missed-inspection complaint first and insist on a written photo report
Before you commit
Five questions worth asking
- If I pay for a roof inspection, do I get a written report with photos of the ridge lines, valleys and flashings?
- Who owns and runs SOS Roofing Perth, and who exactly will be on my roof?
- What warranty do you give on repointing and leak repairs, and can I have it in writing?
- How are materials itemised on the invoice — and will you use suitable tiles I already have on hand?
- Your site says no call-out fee — does that hold for emergency and after-hours calls too?
Bottom line
For leaks, storm damage and tile-roof maintenance in Perth, SOS Roofing's ten-year registration and fast, honest, fairly priced service make them a solid call — especially in an emergency. Just don't hire them for inspections without insisting on a written photo report, and get the repair warranty on paper.
