2 OLD ROOFERS
Trading name of 2 OLD ROOFERS (registered business name of JKSB Roofing Pty Ltd) · Sydney, 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
2 Old Roofers is a genuinely small, family-run outfit, and its record is about as clean as we've seen: a perfect 5.0 across 56 Google reviews, which is rare even among well-liked trades. What we liked is how closely the About page and the reviews line up — Tony is the veteran rooftiler (the site claims 45+ years and a supervisory role), Jeff is the younger tradesman 'on the tools' (the site says 10+ years), and Jeff's wife Kahli runs scheduling, quoting and phone contact. Multiple reviewers name all three, so you're dealing with a real, identifiable team rather than a faceless brand — and when we checked the ABN, there's a GST-registered company behind it.
The thread running through the reviews is honest, diagnostic repair work. Reviewers repeatedly describe the pair finding the true cause of a leak — including skylight leaks a previous roofer had failed to fix twice — sending photos and explanations in real time, and flagging additional wear (pointing, ridge capping, flashing) with reasonable quotes rather than pressure. One detailed review describes them coming back at no extra cost to re-attempt a leak fix and soak-test it before the main job — that's the kind of behaviour that earns a 5.0 in our book. Pricing gets called fair or reasonable again and again.
To be straight with you about the limitations: they're all about scale and the business being young. This is essentially a two-person crew, so it's best suited to repairs, maintenance, pointing, valleys, flashing, whirlybirds, gutter cleaning and small remedial jobs — not necessarily a large, tight-deadline full re-roof, though the site does list re-roofing among its work. With so few hands, availability is naturally limited — one reviewer mentions non-urgent work being scheduled weeks out (and frames it positively, as keeping capacity free for emergencies) — and as a company registered only in 2022, it doesn't yet have the long corporate track record or the multiple independent review sources a bigger firm might.

Who you'll actually deal with
Jeff & Kahli (owners) with Tony, the veteran rooftiler
The business is owned and run by Jeff and Kahli, described on the firm's own site as a husband-and-wife team: Jeff is the working tradesman (the site states 10+ years' roof-tiling experience) and Kahli handles administration, scheduling and bookkeeping. Reviewers consistently single out Kahli's phone communication and Jeff's upfront, no-pressure approach to explaining what does and doesn't need doing.
The third name that recurs is Tony, who the site describes as the 'legendary' rooftiler with 45+ years in the trade, now in a supervisory role. Reviews frequently refer to 'Jeff and Tony' arriving together to do the work, so the on-roof pairing is those two, with Tony's long experience often cited as the reason tricky leaks get diagnosed correctly. Because the whole operation rests on this small named team, its strength (personal, accountable service) and its main constraint (limited capacity) come from the same fact.
What clients say
In their own words
Jeff was really upfront with what needed to be done, fair pricing, easy to talk to, advised on other things that needed to be fixed so we didn't have issues further down the track. Got the job done efficiently. Will definitely come back to them for future issues
Just had a great service from 2 gentlemen - Jeff and Tony. Fair price, excellent communication, great work, and good advice!! They are very experienced and efficient. Kahli is a lovely lady to talk to on the phone too!!
2 Brilliant blokes. Thanks so much for an efficient job! Such a relief not to worry about a leaky roof. Highly recommend.
Recurring themes are honest upfront diagnosis, solving stubborn leaks other roofers missed, clear communication from Kahli, and pricing customers repeatedly call fair.
Best for
- Homeowners with a leak, especially a persistent one another roofer failed to fix, who want it diagnosed honestly and explained with photos
- Ageing tile-roof maintenance — re-bedding and re-pointing, valley and flashing repairs, whirlybirds and gutter cleaning
- People who value dealing with a small, named, family-run crew over a large branded company
Less suited for
- Large, deadline-driven full roof replacements where a bigger multi-crew contractor may have more capacity
- Anyone needing guaranteed same-day or after-hours emergency response — as a tiny crew, availability can mean non-urgent work is scheduled weeks ahead
- Buyers who want several independent third-party review scores, since this young company is currently only rated on Google
Before you commit
Five questions worth asking
- Can you provide your NSW roofing/roof-tiling licence details and current public liability and workers compensation certificates before work starts?
- For my job, will Tony and Jeff both be on the roof, and do you use any sub-contractors?
- Is this best handled as a repair, or would you recommend a larger remedial or replacement job — and what's the cost difference?
- What exactly does the warranty cover under NSW Fair Trading, and for how long, if the leak recurs after heavy rain?
- What's your realistic lead time to start, and how do you handle it if the first repair attempt doesn't stop the leak?
Bottom line
If a mate asked us about a stubborn leak or tired tile roof, we'd tell them to call this verified, family-run two-person crew — the spotless 5.0 record for honest diagnosis and fair-priced repairs speaks for itself. Just remember it's a small, young company best suited to repairs and maintenance rather than large-scale re-roofs.
