New & Used Tile Specialists in Baulkham Hills

Baulkham Hills, located around 30 km north-west of Sydney’s CBD, has a long and diverse history that plays an important role in the story of Sydney’s built environment. The area was originally home to the Bidjigal people of the Darug Nation, who lived on the land for thousands of years before European settlement. Evidence of their occupation can still be found throughout the region in the form of middens, rock engravings and cultural sites. European settlers arrived in the late 1700s, with William Joyce receiving one of the first land grants in 1794. In the early years, farming was the dominant activity, and the area became known for its orchards and market gardens. Over time, more permanent structures began to appear, with early settlers using locally available materials such as timber, bark and eventually brick and clay. As Baulkham Hills developed into a township, the architectural styles and building materials reflected the changes in technology and lifestyle, with terracotta and concrete roof tiles becoming increasingly common throughout the 20th century. The post-war period saw major suburban expansion, and Baulkham Hills became one of the key residential areas in what is now known as The Hills District. New developments in the 1960s and beyond led to a surge in housing construction, most of which relied on tiled roofing to suit the local climate and preferences for long-lasting, low-maintenance materials. Tiles provided excellent weather protection and blended well with the natural colours of the surrounding bushland. Today, Baulkham Hills continues to see strong demand for property renovations, re-roofing, and maintenance. Many of the older homes built in the 1950s to 1980s require tile matching or partial retiling, which is where recycled materials are especially valuable. Rooftile Recyclers supports homeowners, builders and roofers across Baulkham Hills by supplying high-quality second-hand roof tiles that match the look and durability of the originals.
