Harvey tiles and other stone-coated metal roof tiles were built to last — but hail dents, UV fade and worn stone-chip finishes catch up with every roof eventually. Restoring them is specialist work: the wrong paint or pressure treatment ruins the texture that makes these roofs what they are. ER Roof Restorations is one of the few Pretoria teams that restores stone-coated roofs properly.

Can hail-dented Harvey tiles be repaired?
Often, yes. Where the metal is dented but sound, we correct dents where practical and re-seal the surface; where tiles are cracked or rusted through, we replace them. After a Gauteng hailstorm we can assess the whole roof and give you the itemised report your insurer needs — including an honest call on repair versus replacement.
What does stone-coated roof restoration involve?
The roof is cleaned without blasting the remaining stone chip away, repairs and dent correction are done first, exposed metal is treated and sealed watertight, and then the stone-chip finish is restored and locked in with a protective coating. The result keeps the texture and colour depth of the original tile — not a painted-over look.
Frequently asked questions
My stone-coated roof is fading and losing chips — is it too late?
Usually not. Chip loss and fade are exactly what restoration addresses. The earlier it is done, the more of the original finish can be saved — once rust sets into the exposed metal the job gets bigger.
Do you work on brands other than Harvey?
Yes. “Harvey tiles” has become the household name, but we restore all stone-coated metal tile systems using the same specialist process.
Is a restored stone-coated roof guaranteed?
Qualifying workmanship carries a written 10-year guarantee, confirmed in your quotation before work starts.
