"Exceeding Homeowners’ Expectations One Roof at a Time"
Posted on Google Trish NabarroTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had my roof & guttering replaced recently and I couldn’t have asked for a better job. Ray, Matt & crew worked tirelessly to get the job done. They did an Excellent job!Posted on Google Andrew WightTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ray and the team were delightful to deal with right from the first moment. Ray's passion for roofing and building (and life!) are incredible and he runs a tight ship. They also went above and beyond to touch up paint and fix a cracked tile. After initially struggling to even find a roofer who would return our calls at all, we're grateful that we ended up discovering Fortified. You'll have to look long and hard to find someone better.Posted on Google sumegh patneTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Amazing work. Quick, efficient, considerate, inclusive, on schedule. Can’t find any fault. Especially, Matthew. Well done job!Posted on Google Ana VanderleerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Fortified roofing were great throughout the whole process. Very prompt with the quote and replies. Very easy to pay and make business with. They did an excellent job on our roof removing the old asbestos roof and putting in a new roof colour bond on the same day. We checked when they were finished and it looks amazing, ever since we haven't had to use our heaters because the insulation in the new roof is excellent.Posted on Google Andrew McDougallTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great ServicePosted on Google Lisa MBTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a fantastic experience with Fortified Roofing. With all the rain Brisbane has experienced this past year, and Cyclone Alfred looming, we were very nervous about the state of our old tile roof. Matt and his team (and especially Ray) were professional, friendly and worked tirelessly - right up to the last possible moment before the weather turned too bad – to make sure everything was secure and ready. During and after the cyclone, our new roof held up beautifully. If you’re looking for a roofing company you can trust, especially in high-stress situations, Fortified Roofing can’t be beat.Posted on Google Claire DaltonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I reached out to Matt who installed our roof prior to purchasing our property. Unfortunately, our builder installed a patio roof which didn't meet code and caused leaking. Matt fixed the issue withoiut delay and his communication was excellent. I can't fault this company and would use them again.Posted on Google Nirmal SinghTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Hi had Matt and his team replace an old roof on my old Queenslander using colorbond They did a fantastic job completed the job promptly Left the place clean and tidy Looks fantastic Thanks Matt couldn’t be happier !Posted on Google Marko MaljkovicTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Very professional from quote to completion. Highly recommended.Posted on Google Suresh IyengarTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I took quotes from five different roofing installers. I consider myself lucky to come across Oz Roofing (Fortified roofing group). Matt Turnbull and his father seventy year old Ray Turnbull are both down to earth people. They were honest, fair and guided me to make the right choice of roofing to replace my asbestos roof. Ray was present throughout the process of re-roofing and took special interest to make sure the job is done perfectly. I will have no hesitation to recommend Fortified roofing for their honest, friendly and fair dealings.
What Ventilation Systems Do We Install?
Traditional Whirlybirds
Whirlybirds are a wind-powered ventilation system that draws hot air and moisture out of your roof space. They’re reliable, require no electricity, and can operate even in light breezes. Ideal for homeowners wanting a low-maintenance, budget-friendly option.
Solar-Powered Roof Vents
These high-performance units use solar energy to power a fan, drawing out hot air and improving air circulation. Great for homes in full sun, they’re more powerful than whirlybirds and effective even on calm days. Plus, no running costs.
Our Promise to You VENTILATION DONE RIGHT.
At Fortified, we treat ventilation as an essential part of your roof—not an afterthought. We install it with the same attention to detail as every flashing, screw, and sheet.

Roof Ventilation FAQs
How many vents will I need?
The answer to this question depends on a number of factors. They include the size of the home, the type of roof, and the climate. Generally speaking, it is recommended that homeowners install one vent for every 90m² of roof space for proper ventilation.
Does roof ventilation actually cool down my house?
Roof ventilation in Brisbane helps to circulate the hot air in your home and cool it down. Roof ventilation can help lower temperatures by up to 10-30°C. In addition to cooling the home, it also helps to reduce energy costs.
Are the vents noisy?
Aside from low energy costs, the ventilation products that we use are designed to work silently. However, they might be noticeable to the homeowner if placed in an audible location.
Do the vents work if there is no wind?
The short answer is yes – roof vents can work without wind. The vents are designed so that hot air can escape through the top of the vent, and cooler air can enter through the bottom.
Are solar-powered roof vents difficult to install?
While solar-powered roof vents require careful installation to ensure optimal performance, they are not inherently difficult to install for professional roofers. It’s important to have them installed by experts to maximize their efficiency and longevity.
What happens if there are bad weather conditions forecast or occurring during my roof ventilation work?
Being roofers for over three generations means that checking the weather forecast has become a ritual. It’s the first thing we do when we get up. And it’s the last thing we do before going to bed.
What are the benefits of solar-powered roof vents over traditional whirlybirds?
Solar-powered roof vents offer several advantages over traditional whirlybirds, including greater efficiency in air circulation, consistent performance regardless of wind conditions, and a positive environmental impact by reducing energy consumption. They are a smart investment for homeowners looking for long-term savings on energy bills.
How long do roof vents typically last?
The lifespan of roof vents can vary depending on the type and material. Whirlybirds, made from durable metals, can last over 20 years with minimal maintenance. Solar-powered vents also have a long lifespan, typically around 15-25 years, thanks to their robust construction and advanced technology.
Can roof ventilation help prevent mold and mildew?
Yes, proper roof ventilation helps to expel moisture-laden air from your attic, reducing the risk of mold and mildew growth. This is particularly important in humid climates like Brisbane, where moisture can easily build up and lead to structural issues and health concerns.
