How much does roof tiles replacement cost in Malaysia?

The exact price is confirmed after our free inspection.
Concrete or clay roof tiles: which is better in Malaysia?
Both perform well in Malaysian weather when maintained. Concrete tiles are more common and economical, while clay tiles have a natural colour that lasts and are found on many older homes. Both are heavy. If weight or frequent breakage is a concern, lighter stone-coated metal tiles are an alternative worth comparing.
Can you match my old roof tiles?
In many cases, yes. Common concrete tile profiles used in Malaysian housing estates are still available. For older or discontinued profiles, an exact match may not be possible. Our technician will suggest the closest option, or re-tiling a full roof face so the roof looks even.
