Anything Roofing
Trading name of Anything Roofing (registered business name of Cheyne Porter) · 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
On paper, Anything Roofing sits at the top end of what a small local roofer can achieve: a flawless 5.0 across 155 Google reviews, and when we checked the Australian Business Register it's verified as sole trader Cheyne Porter operating under the registered business name 'Anything Roofing' out of Cambridge Gardens (postcode 2747) in Western Sydney. The name on the ABR record matches the name customers keep mentioning — exactly the kind of alignment we like to see before trusting a rating.
What the reviews describe is a consistent, repeatable experience rather than a few standout jobs: fast (often same-day) call-outs for leaks, a photographed inspection and a written quote up front, and repairs finished cleanly — in several accounts, even expanded 'above and beyond the scope at no extra charge.' Multiple reviewers specifically praise the firm for honesty, being told what did and didn't need doing — a much harder signal to fake than generic 'great service' praise. The firm's own site claims 'over 25 years of experience'; the ABR shows the 'Anything Roofing' business name since 2011 and a Cheyne Porter trading name going back to 2000, so from what we found the long-tenure claim is at least broadly supported, even if the current company entity is newer.
The honest caveat is scale and structure. This is a small, owner-led crew, not a large restoration company — that's exactly why the service feels personal, but it also means capacity is finite, work is quote-first and appointment-based rather than a 24/7 emergency service, and coverage naturally centres on Western Sydney and the lower Blue Mountains. The reputation is also almost entirely Google-based: we couldn't find an independent second review platform, so you're leaning heavily on one source — albeit a large and unusually consistent one.

Who you'll actually deal with
Cheyne Porter — owner-operator
Cheyne Porter is clearly the principal: he's the registered sole trader behind the 'Anything Roofing' business name on the ABR, and 'Cheyne' is named in roughly 14 reviews — far more than anyone else — as the person who quotes, inspects and does the work. Reviewers consistently describe him personally as prompt, honest, communicative and hands-on, which is the profile of an owner who is still on the tools rather than a manager running crews at arm's length.
He isn't a one-man band, though. Reviews reference a small supporting team — 'Shane' appears about 5 times (a couple of reviews describe Shane running a re-roof and quoting jobs), and there are passing mentions of 'Dom' and Cheyne's 'son' on jobs. Treat this as a principal-led micro-team: you'll most likely deal with Cheyne directly, with a small trusted crew for larger work. We haven't independently verified individual staff titles beyond what the reviews and the firm's site state.
What clients say
In their own words
Cheyne & son did a great job reaffixing our roof corners as well as replacing a number of cracked tiles. Would recommend AR to others looking for a thorough roofing fixup.
Spoke to Cheyne last minute to get some flashing replaced and roof leaks fixed. He attended site the same day I contacted him and had materials organised within a couple of days. Definitely recommend his workmanship, reliability and honesty.
Cheyne was very honest about the condition of our roof. He also did a great job of maintenance, i.e. cleaned gutters, downpipes & valleys.
The recurring themes are honesty (being told what does and doesn't need doing), fast same-day response to leaks, clear photo-and-quote communication, and clean, quality tile/flashing/gutter repairs.
Best for
- Leak repairs and storm-damage fixes where you want a fast, often same-day inspection with photos and a written quote before work starts
- Tile, ridge, valley and flashing repairs, plus gutter, downpipe and skylight work on residential homes
- Homeowners in Western Sydney and the lower Blue Mountains who value a straight-talking owner-operator who'll tell them what genuinely needs doing
Less suited for
- Large-scale commercial re-roofing or big restoration contracts, where a bigger multi-crew company may have more capacity
- Anyone needing a guaranteed 24/7 emergency call-out — the firm is fast but works on a quote-first, appointment basis rather than round-the-clock
- Buyers who want a second independent review platform for cross-checking, since the firm's reputation currently rests almost entirely on Google
Before you commit
Five questions worth asking
- Am I dealing with Cheyne directly on my job, or with a team member, and who'll be on site for the actual repair?
- Will I get the photo inspection and a written, fixed quote before any work starts, and does that quote hold if you find extra issues on the roof?
- Is the work being invoiced under the sole trader (Cheyne Porter) or under Anything Roofing Pty Ltd, and can you confirm your current roofing licence and insurance details?
- What warranty or guarantee do you provide on the repair, and is it in writing?
- Do you cover my suburb, and roughly what's your lead time for a non-emergency quote versus an urgent leak?
Bottom line
A verified, owner-operated Western Sydney roofer with an exceptional, internally consistent track record for honest, fast leak and tile repairs — we'd call it a low-risk pick for residential repair and maintenance, provided you're comfortable with a small crew whose reputation lives almost entirely on Google.
