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
Prestige Slate Roofing holds a perfect 5.0 across 37 Google reviews, and here's why we believe that number: the feedback is remarkably narrow and consistent. This is a genuine slate specialist, and the reviews read like it. Homeowners with 80-to-120-year-old slate roofs describe broken-slate replacement, ridge and leadwork, chimney and valley repairs, and full restorations of neglected heritage roofs — the kind of niche, high-skill work a general roofer often can't do well. In our experience, when reviews cluster this tightly around one specialised competency, the rating reflects real expertise rather than a broad average.
The other theme that jumped out at us is responsiveness on leaks. Several reviewers describe reaching out about a leak and having the owner respond within hours and inspect the same day — one notes he treated a chimney-slate emergency seriously enough to work over Easter before more rain arrived. Pricing is repeatedly called competitive, communication gets plenty of praise (including the use of photos to explain problems on roofs the owner can't see), and multiple long-term clients say they've used the firm across several years — a good durability signal in a trade where repeat business has to be earned.
The honest caveats are scope and paper trail. The clue is in the name: this is a slate (and lead/tile) specialist oriented to repair, restoration and maintenance of older roofs, not a high-volume Colorbond re-roofer for modern homes — so pick it for what it's built for. It's also an owner-led operation centred on Bradley Hayes, which carries the usual key-person dependency. And while the firm markets a 20-year warranty and 15+ years of experience, the company itself was only registered in 2023 — so get the warranty terms and licensing verified in writing. None of this dents the review evidence; it just frames the fit.

Who you'll actually deal with
Bradley (Brad) Hayes — owner-operator
The firm is owner-led by Bradley Hayes, who appears in the reviews as both 'Brad' (13 mentions) and 'Bradley' (5) and personally writes the firm's review responses. On the company's own site, Bradley is described as originally from the UK with a stated 15+ years of roofing experience honed there before moving to Australia — background that fits the firm's slate-and-lead specialisation, since traditional slate and leadwork skills are more common in the UK than in most Australian roofing. Reviewers consistently credit him directly for the quoting, diagnosis and communication.
Reviews regularly mention 'Brad and his team', so there is a crew doing the physical work rather than a solo tradesperson, but the client relationship clearly runs through Bradley — he's the one homeowners deal with from first response to sign-off. That's the source of the firm's strongest praise (responsiveness, honest advice, clear photo-based explanations) and also its main dependency: the experience hinges on one principal's availability.
What clients say
In their own words
Brad was prompt in responding to my request and came exactly when promised. He diagnosed the roof leak quickly and fixed it straight away, Efficient, professional, and reliable. Highly recommended!
Did a great job replacing broken slate on the roof. Went above and beyond getting the job done.
Brad was fabulous. On time, always communicating. Really appreciate the outstanding workmanship. Thank you.
The recurring themes are specialist slate expertise on old and heritage roofs, fast same-day response to leaks, competitive pricing, and professional, well-communicated workmanship led personally by the owner.
Best for
- Heritage and century-old slate roofs needing broken-slate replacement, ridge/leadwork, chimney or valley repairs and restoration
- Urgent slate-roof leaks, where reviewers repeatedly praise same-day inspection and quick fixes
- Homeowners who want a genuine slate specialist and a direct, honest, photo-explained relationship with the owner rather than a generalist
Less suited for
- Modern homes wanting a full Colorbond or metal re-roof — this firm is oriented to slate, lead and tile repair/restoration, not high-volume new installs
- Buyers who want a second independent review platform to cross-check, as no confirmed ProductReview listing was found and the Birdeye figures mirror Google
- Anyone needing a large multi-crew firm running several jobs at once rather than an owner-led specialist team
Before you commit
Five questions worth asking
- The firm advertises a 20-year warranty — can you put in writing exactly what it covers (workmanship vs materials) and how a future claim would work?
- What is your current NSW roofing/building licence number, and does it cover slate and leadwork specifically for my job?
- You cite 15+ years of experience — how long has Prestige Slate Roofing Pty Ltd (ABN 45 666 039 569) been operating, and can you show references from similar heritage-slate jobs?
- Are you fully insured and, for larger jobs, covered under the NSW Home Building Compensation scheme? Can you provide certificates before work starts?
- For my roof, do you recommend repair/restoration or replacement — and what's the reasoning and cost difference between them?
Bottom line
A genuine, low-risk slate-roofing specialist whose 37 reviews consistently praise Brad for expert heritage-slate work, fast leak response and competitive pricing — we'd just say match it to the right job (slate/tile repair and restoration, not a modern metal re-roof) and get the 20-year warranty, licensing and insurance confirmed in writing given the company's 2023 registration.
