Roofs on The Range homes
The Range is about 35 km south of the CBD, in the City of Onkaparinga. Onkaparinga is Adelaide's largest council. It covers beachside suburbs from Christies Beach to Sellicks Beach, foothills suburbs built from the 1970s to the 1990s such as Aberfoyle Park, Flagstaff Hill, Happy Valley and Woodcroft, newer estates around Seaford and Aldinga, and the McLaren Vale wine region townships. Many of the foothills homes have concrete tile roofs that are due for attention.

What The Range roofs have to cope with
Hills roofs in The Range work harder than most. Leaves and bark pile up in gutters and valleys, where they hold water against the metal and give embers somewhere to land in summer. Shaded tiles stay damp and grow moss. Keeping gutters clear, fitting gutter guard and sealing gaps at the ridges and eaves goes a long way, and if the property has a bushfire attack level (BAL) rating, any new roof needs materials to suit it. Expect steep blocks and tricky access to add to the cost.
Before you book
Check three things before you book roof work in The Range. First, the licence: anyone contracting for building work in SA needs a building work contractor's licence, and jobs of $12,000 or more need a written contract. Second, approvals: repairs, restorations and like-for-like re-roofs usually don't need them. Third, what's on the roof: solar panels have to come off for most restorations and re-roofs, and an old grey fibre-cement roof may contain asbestos, which needs a licensed removalist for anything over 10 square metres.
Roofing questions from The Range
Do you arrange roof quotes in The Range?
Yes. We cover all of the City of Onkaparinga, including The Range 5172. Your enquiry goes to one roofer who already works around McLaren Flat and Willunga, which keeps travel out of the price and means they can get back quickly if anything needs a second look.
How much does a roof restoration cost in The Range?
Across Adelaide in 2026, most tile roof restorations cost between about $3,500 and $10,000, a minor leak repair is usually a few hundred dollars, and a new roof on a single-storey home is typically $13,000 to $28,000. In The Range, the biggest variables are usually steep blocks, access for scaffolding and materials, and bushfire-rated products. See the cost guide.
Do I need council approval for roof work in The Range?
Usually not for repairs, a restoration or a like-for-like re-roof. Changing the shape or structure of the roof, adding to it, or working on a heritage-listed home can need development approval, which in South Australia is lodged through the PlanSA portal. For The Range, development applications are assessed by the City of Onkaparinga. The roofer quoting your job should tell you whether approval is needed.
How do I get my The Range roof ready for bushfire season?
Clear leaves out of gutters and valleys, and check for gaps at the ridges, valleys and eaves where embers could get in. Gutter guard and ember sealing can be quoted on their own or with a restoration.
