Illawarra Roof Maintenance
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
We'll be upfront: Illawarra Roof Maintenance is one of the thinnest paper trails of the Wollongong roofers we've reviewed. There's a single Google review — five stars, but with no written text — no website, and when we searched the Australian Business Register we couldn't find an ABN registered under this trading name. None of that is proof of anything bad; it's just very little to go on either way.
What we did find is a Facebook page under the same name and the same mobile number, which lists the kind of work they take on — gutters and downpipes, leaf-screen protection, repointing and renewing valleys, tile work, leak repairs and Colorbond roofing. Those are the firm's own claims on their own page, not something we've verified through customer reviews, because there are essentially no written reviews to mine.
Our honest read: this looks like a small local operator — possibly a one-person outfit — that does its business through word of mouth rather than an online presence. Plenty of good tradies fit that description. But 'we couldn't find anything wrong' is not the same as 'we found evidence they're good', and on the evidence available we simply can't put this firm in the same bracket as Wollongong roofers with hundreds of detailed reviews and verified company registrations.

Business registration
No verified ABN on file
We couldn't match Illawarra Roof Maintenance to a single ABN on the public register with confidence. Rather than show a number we're unsure of, we've left it blank — and the identity check scores 0 out of 25 in their Trust Score, which is why it sits below firms we could verify. We searched the Australian Business Register for 'Illawarra Roof Maintenance' and found no entity or registered business name that matches this Corrimal firm — the nearest NSW results were unrelated companies in Sydney postcodes. That doesn't necessarily mean the business is unregistered (sole traders often hold an ABN under a personal name we can't guess), but we couldn't verify one under this trading name, and we won't guess.
Checked against the official Australian Business Register (abr.business.gov.au). A business can trade legitimately without a registered business name matching its trading name, so this isn't a mark against them — but it's worth asking for their ABN before you engage. If this is your business, claim this listing to add your ABN and we'll verify it.

Who you'll actually deal with
The team
No staff names surface anywhere we looked — the single Google review has no text, there's no website, and the Facebook page doesn't name an owner. So we can't tell you who you'd actually be dealing with, which for a small roofing outfit is usually the most important thing to know.
Going by the single mobile number and the Gmail contact address on their Facebook page, this has the hallmarks of a sole operator or a very small crew based in Corrimal. If you call, you're most likely speaking directly to the person who'd be on your roof — worth confirming when you do.
Best for
- Small maintenance and repair jobs — gutters, leak repairs, valley repointing — where you're happy to get a couple of quotes and judge the tradie in person
- Locals in Corrimal and the northern Wollongong suburbs who prefer dealing with a small nearby operator over a bigger firm
- Homeowners with a straightforward job who don't mind that the vetting will have to happen on your driveway rather than online
Less suited for
- Big-ticket work like a full roof restoration or replacement — with one text-free review and no verifiable registration, there's not enough track record to commit thousands of dollars on
- Anyone who wants to verify licensing, insurance and company registration online before picking up the phone — none of that is publicly findable for this firm
- People who rely on reading past customers' experiences to choose a tradie — there are simply none in writing here
Before you commit
Five questions worth asking
- Can you give me your ABN and licence number so I can verify them myself? We couldn't find an ABN registered under 'Illawarra Roof Maintenance'.
- Are you insured for work on my property, and can you show me a current certificate of insurance?
- Who will actually be doing the work — is it just you, or do you bring in others for bigger jobs?
- Can you put me in touch with two or three recent customers in the Illawarra as references, since there are almost no reviews online?
- Will you put the quote, scope and any workmanship guarantee in writing before starting?
Bottom line
A near-invisible online presence isn't a red flag on its own, but with one text-free review, no website and no ABN we could verify, you'll need to do the vetting yourself — ask for the ABN, licence, insurance and references before committing to anything beyond a small repair.
