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
Tomkat Roofing strikes us as a genuinely capable, growing Sydney roofing outfit rather than a one-van operator. Its Google standing is strong — 4.7 stars across 133 reviews — and when we read through them, the praise keeps landing on the same things: a thorough, photo-supported quoting process, clear communication from an office/admin team, and reliable delivery on both repairs and full re-roofs. On their own site the firm points to real, checkable recognition: it says it was named the 2024 Australian Small Business Roofing Champions (Roofer category) and won a Liverpool Local Business award in 2025. Those are the firm's own claims, but they're tied to named third-party programs — a stronger signal than generic 'award-winning' marketing.
The reason we rate them well is that the review evidence is specific and repeatable, not vague. Multiple reviewers name the same competencies — a quoting technician who explains problem areas with photos, office staff who keep clients informed, crews that complete larger jobs (a Scout hall, strata/owners-corporation tiled roofs, full colorbond replacements) on time. The firm also states a two-part warranty on its own site (a 2-year workmanship guarantee, extended to 5 years for new builds/replacements, plus manufacturer material warranties) — exactly the kind of documented backstop we like to see for a careful homeowner.
We do have one honest caveat, and it's the second source. On ProductReview.com.au the same firm sits at 4.1/5 from 25 reviews, with roughly a third of those negative — including a detailed complaint about a 2021 installation that reportedly had to be replaced for defects. That doesn't erase the strong Google picture, but it does tell us the experience isn't uniformly five-star. If you're spending on a full replacement, treat the workmanship warranty and pre-completion inspection as things to actively use, not just assume.

Who you'll actually deal with
Tom Stephens — Managing Director, with a named office and quoting team
On their own about page the firm names Tom Stephens as Managing Director, describing him as having over 20 years in the industry and a hands-on role across operations. That's a firm self-description rather than something the reviews independently confirm, so treat the '20 years' figure as the company's own claim — though a long trading history is consistent with the business being recognised in national and local small-business awards.
What the reviews do independently show is that this is a team business, not a solo trader. Customers repeatedly praise a responsive office/admin team that handles scheduling and quoting, and name front-line staff such as a quoting technician (several reviewers mention 'Scott', one mentions 'Gary' and 'Tim', another thanks 'Aiden'). That named, multi-person structure — office, quoting/estimating, and on-site crews — is a strength for larger or strata jobs, and it's why the firm reads as organised rather than dependent on one person's availability.
What clients say
In their own words
Great experience from start to finish. The guy who quoted the job (i think Scott) was very thorough and explained everything clearly. They weren’t the cheapest quote i received but you definitely get what you pay for. Really happy with the repair and would happily recommend them!
Amazing service highly recommend. They did a great job on our re roof in Eaglevale.
I'm so glad I heard the Tomkat Roofing ad on 2GB. They were prompt with quoting, very friendly and attentive to our needs and had the Scout Hall Roof fixed in only 3 days. It was a big job but they were fantastic. We are very happy with Tomkat and would recommend them to anyone.
Recurring themes: thorough photo-backed quoting, strong office/admin communication, reliable on-time delivery, and satisfaction on both repairs and full re-roofs — with 'not the cheapest but worth it' pricing a repeated note.
Best for
- Homeowners wanting a documented, photo-supported quote and clear communication rather than the lowest headline price
- Full tile-to-metal re-roofs and larger jobs — including strata / owners-corporation and community-building roofs where scheduling and coordination matter
- People who value a warranty and an organised office-plus-crew team over a single-operator quote
Less suited for
- Anyone whose first priority is the cheapest quote — multiple reviewers note Tomkat is not the cheapest option
- Buyers who want a single flawless second-source track record — ProductReview.com.au shows a meaningful minority of quality complaints
- Urgent same-hour emergency callouts are not clearly evidenced; the reviews describe a quote-first, scheduled process more than instant emergency response
Before you commit
Five questions worth asking
- Can you provide the before-and-after photos and a written, itemised quote showing exactly which problem areas you'll address?
- Who will actually be on site — an employed crew or subcontractors — and who is my single point of contact if something needs revisiting?
- Can you put the two-part warranty in writing for my specific job (the 2-year workmanship guarantee, the 5-year extension for replacements, and the relevant manufacturer material warranties)?
- For a full replacement, how do you handle the roof being open to weather mid-job, and what's your process if a defect or leak appears after completion?
- Given the mixed second-source reviews, can you share references from recent jobs of a similar type and size to mine?
Bottom line
We'd put this well-organised, award-recognised Sydney roofer on your shortlist — most reviewers rate them highly for quoting, communication and delivery. Just use the written warranty and pre-completion inspection rather than assuming a flawless result, because the independent second source is more mixed.
