New & Used Tile Specialists in Wetherill Park

Wetherill Park lies about 34 km west of Sydney’s CBD and is part of the City of Fairfield, on land traditionally belonging to the Cabrogal clan of the Gandangara, Dharug nation, who have occupied the area for at least 30,000 years. Named after a local businessman who donated land for a park, it began to see European settlement in the late 19th century, with residences emerging near what became Reservoir Public School in 1882 before later adopting the suburb’s current name. Historically, Wetherill Park combined farming and brickmaking industries, with orchards, market gardens, and clay pits feeding local brickworks, an industry presence that influenced building materials in early homes and community structures. Early roofing on timber cottages and farm sheds was typically corrugated iron or bark, while more substantial buildings often used slate or early clay tiles when available. From the mid 20th century, suburbanisation transformed Wetherill Park into a mix of residential zones and Australia’s largest industrial estate in the southern hemisphere. Housing developments from the 1960s onwards widely adopted terracotta and concrete roof tiles in line with broader Sydney trends. Modern roofing materials in the suburb are diverse, tiled roofs are still common alongside Colorbond steel roofing and other modern options. Today, most homes built between the 1960s and 1990s require maintenance, retiling, or extensions that demand matching roof tiles. Rooftile Recyclers supports the local community by supplying quality reclaimed terracotta and concrete tiles. These are well suited to repair work, heritage style renovations, and suburban extensions, offering cost effective, durable, and eco friendly alternatives that help reduce landfill and preserve Wetherill Park’s evolving architectural character.
