Bekker Roofing - Roof Repairs Dapto & Surrounds
Trading name of BEKKER ROOFING PTY LTD · Wollongong, 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
The verification is straightforward: Bekker Roofing Pty Ltd is a registered private company, ABN and GST active since April 2021, based in Dapto where it actually works. The company surname matches the man himself — nearly every one of the 19 Google reviews names 'JP', and one helpfully spells it out as Jean-Pierre Bekker. So while the company is young on paper, there's no ambiguity about who you're hiring: it's JP's name on the truck and JP on your roof.
The reviews are a perfect 5.0 from 19 and — importantly — they're fresh and steady, running from two years ago right up to the week we checked. The recurring themes are unusually specific: he's knowledgeable (mentioned five times), keeps prices reasonable, communicates from quote to completion, and shows customers before-and-after photos of the work. The standout story is a homeowner whose roof started leaking on a Saturday afternoon — JP called straight back and was on the roof within the hour. That kind of responsiveness is rare in this trade.
Two honest caveats. First, the company has only existed since 2021 and Google is its only review platform, so the verifiable track record is short — five years and one source. Second, the website advertises a very broad menu (re-roofs, new roof installations, sarking, polycarbonate, insurance work), but the review evidence so far is concentrated on repairs, tile work, pointing and leaks. That doesn't mean he can't do the big jobs — one reviewer did have a pergola roof replaced — but if you're commissioning a full re-roof, ask to see completed examples first.
Reputation across the web New
The same firm, checked across platforms
⚑ Young company, broader menu than the evidence
The company was only registered in April 2021, and while its site advertises everything up to full re-roofs and new roof installations, the 19 reviews to date almost all describe repairs, tile replacement, ridge capping and leak work. The repair-and-maintenance record is genuinely excellent — just ask for references or photos of completed big-ticket jobs before signing off on one.

Who you'll actually deal with
JP (Jean-Pierre Bekker) — owner-operator
This is JP's business in every sense: the company carries his surname, and he's named personally in almost every review — quoting, doing the work, and following up himself. One reviewer identified him in full as Jean-Pierre Bekker; another described him as 'an old time tradie' who 'treats your home as if it is his home'. The company registration only dates to 2021, but the reviews read like someone with far more years on the tools than that.
The pattern customers describe is consistent: prompt callbacks (including one same-hour emergency on a Saturday), clear explanations of what needs doing and why, before-and-after photos when the job's done, and pricing several reviewers call very reasonable. Repeat customers show up in the review base too, which is always a good sign for an owner-operator.
What clients say
In their own words
JP was excellent from the initial quote right through to completing the job. He was punctual, polite, knowledgeable, and incredibly helpful throughout the whole process. The quality of the work was fantastic, and his pricing was very reasonable. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him.
JP removed an old oil heater pipe from the roof and added battens, waterproofing and tiles. I was very happy with his workmanship. He quoted and responded promptly and it was a pleasure to deal with him. Highly recommended.
I would highly recommend Jp from Bekker Roofing kept me informed of the job and what needed to be done, showed me photos of before and after work was completed , very professional and clean, also very knowledgeable. Will definitely will use JP again when needed.
Reviewers consistently describe JP as knowledgeable, punctual and fairly priced, with clear communication from quote to completion — several mention before-and-after photos and same-day responsiveness on urgent leaks.
Best for
- Tile roof repairs, ridge capping, re-pointing and leak detection around Dapto and greater Wollongong
- Urgent small-to-medium repairs — the review base includes a genuine same-hour Saturday emergency response
- Homeowners who want one accountable tradie handling quote, work and follow-up personally, with photo documentation
Less suited for
- Large commercial projects or jobs needing a multi-person crew on site at once
- Gutter installation — the firm itself says on its site it cleans gutters but doesn't install them
- Anyone who needs a long corporate track record or reviews across multiple platforms — it's five years and Google only
Before you commit
Five questions worth asking
- The company dates from 2021 — how long have you personally been roofing, and where did you work before?
- Your site advertises full re-roofs and new roof installations — can you show photos or references from completed ones?
- Your site says fully licensed and insured — can you give me the licence number and a current insurance certificate?
- What written warranty do you provide on repointing and leak repairs?
- Do you take emergency callouts, and what's the callout fee outside business hours?
Bottom line
A verified, GST-registered one-man company with a flawless and refreshingly recent review record — the strongest evidence is for tile repairs, pointing and fast leak response. The company's only five years old and Google is the only source, so for big-ticket work ask for examples; for repairs, the record speaks for itself.
