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
If a mate in the Shire asked us about Sanders Roofing, we'd tell them it's exactly the kind of dependable, family-run local operator most homeowners are hoping to find. The Google record is strong and consistent — 4.7 from 42 reviews — and it's spread evenly across all the everyday roofing jobs: leak repairs, tile and Colorbond re-roofs, gutters and downpipes, skylights and whirlybirds. When the same words keep turning up across that breadth of work — 'trustworthy', 'honest', 'communication' — you're looking at a general roofer that does the bread-and-butter jobs well, not a niche specialist.
We checked the Australian Business Register and it all lines up: Sanders Roofing Pty. Ltd., ABN 25 139 422 316, an active NSW company registered in November 2009. On its own site the firm describes itself as family-owned and operated with over 20 years of experience, led by Tom Sanders, and says it's fully licensed and insured — we're passing those on as the firm's own claims, though the 2009 registration date makes the '20 years' figure genuinely plausible. What we really liked in the reviews is the repeat and referral business — one client says they've used Tom's group for over 20 years — plus the small, specific things that build trust: same-night quotes, daily progress photos, tidy clean-ups and no surprise charges on the final bill.
The honest caveats here are modest ones. The rating base is essentially Google-only — we couldn't find a ProductReview listing to cross-check against — and this is a Sutherland Shire-focused outfit, so if you're well outside that patch you may sit lower on the priority list than local jobs. It's also a quote-first general roofer rather than a dedicated 24/7 storm-emergency service — though the reviews show they can move quickly when it counts, including a leaking roof that went from quote to completed inside a week.

Who you'll actually deal with
Tom Sanders — owner of a family-run firm
The firm's own about page names Tom Sanders as the owner of this family-owned, managed and operated business, and the reviews back that up: Tom is by far the most-mentioned name, repeatedly credited with diagnosing the problem, quoting promptly (often the same night) and organising the job personally. Several long-standing clients single him out for honest advice and fair pricing, and one describes a 20-year working relationship — a strong loyalty signal for a trades business.
It isn't a one-man band, though: reviewers also name on-site tradesmen — Dale is mentioned quoting a job, Daniel doing the work — and frequently praise 'two young blokes' who arrive on time, work cleanly and take the rubbish away. So you deal with Tom for the quote and coordination, and a small trained crew on site. The realistic caveat is scale and geography: this is a Sutherland Shire family operation, so it's built for local residential work rather than large multi-site commercial contracts.
What clients say
In their own words
I've used Tom's group for over 20 years on any roofing jobs I needed and recently completed a full colourbond roof replacement plus installation of new Velux skylights at my place in Glebe. He is a pleasure to deal with and takes pride in his work.
Professional, honest, excellent communication, skilled workmanship, organised and friendly, providing daily images of the progress. Will defo have them over for future jobs and highly recommend Sanders Roofing.
Was great working with Sanders. They were professionals from beginning to end. Their team onsite were excellent with communication, trustworthy and very efficient workers. The new roof looks great and, most importantly of all, no longer leaks!
Reviewers consistently describe Sanders as honest, communicative and efficient, with Tom coordinating personally and a tidy on-site crew delivering everything from leak fixes to full Colorbond re-roofs.
Best for
- Sutherland Shire and greater-Sydney homeowners wanting a dependable general roofer for everyday jobs
- Full tile-to-Colorbond re-roofs, leak repairs, gutters/downpipes, skylights and whirlybirds under one roofer
- People who value honest advice, same-night quotes, daily progress updates and a tidy, no-surprise-charges finish
Less suited for
- Owners of heritage or specialist slate roofs who'd be better served by a dedicated slate specialist
- Jobs well outside the Sutherland Shire, where a closer local roofer may be more responsive
- Anyone wanting multiple independent review platforms to compare, since this firm is essentially Google-only
Before you commit
Five questions worth asking
- Can you confirm your current NSW contractor's licence number and public liability insurance for my records?
- Will Tom personally quote my job, and who is the on-site contact once work starts?
- For a re-roof, what warranty do you provide in writing on both workmanship and the Colorbond/materials?
- What's your realistic lead time, and how do you handle an urgent leak before the booked start date?
- Can you show photos or a reference from a recent job of similar scope to mine in my area?
Bottom line
A verified, family-run Sutherland Shire roofer that's been registered since 2009, holds a consistent 4.7 and keeps earning genuine repeat and referral work — about as low-risk as everyday residential roofing gets. Just confirm the licence and insurance with them directly, and keep in mind it's a general roofer, not a heritage or slate specialist.
