A Closer Look At Our Roofing Services

Roof Replacement Across Melbourne

There comes a point where another repair is money thrown at a roof that has run out of life. Widespread rust, sheets that have lost their coating, timber that has started to go soft underneath. At that stage a replacement is the cheaper option over any sensible timeframe.

We strip the old roof, check and repair the battens and structure underneath, install new sarking and insulation where it is needed, and lay the new sheets. Metal, flat and low pitch, asbestos removal through licensed removalists, and tile to metal changeovers are all everyday work for us.

Metal Roofing And Colorbond

Metal roofing is what we do most. Colorbond and Zincalume handle Melbourne weather well, they are light enough to go over a structure built for tiles, and they last decades when the detailing is right.

The detailing is where most metal roofs fail. Sheets run at too shallow a pitch for their profile, valley irons cut short, flashings sealed with silicone instead of being formed properly. We set the roof out correctly, fix at the right centres, and form the flashings so the roof does not rely on a bead of sealant to stay watertight.

Roof Repairs And Leak Detection

Water travels. It runs along battens, follows a pipe, and drops through the ceiling metres from where it entered. Chasing the stain instead of the source is why so many leaks get patched two or three times and keep coming back.

We inspect the roof properly, use thermal imaging where a leak is hiding, and find the actual entry point before anything gets sealed. Then we tell you whether it is a repair or whether the roof is telling you something bigger.

Gutters, Fascia And Roof Plumbing

Guttering is the part of the roof that fails quietly. It rusts from the inside, sags out of fall, and fills with leaf litter until the overflow runs back into the eaves rather than out the front. By the time it shows up inside, the fascia behind it is usually gone too.

We replace guttering, fascia, downpipes, rainheads and box gutters in Colorbond to match the roof. Box gutters in particular need the right fall and overflow provision to comply, and they are the ones we get called to most on older commercial buildings around Melbourne.

Tile Roof Repairs

Metal roofing is our focus, but a good share of our repair work is on tile roofs, because the parts of a tile roof that leak are almost always the metal ones. Valleys, wall and chimney flashings, and the sheet metal around every penetration.

Those components sit under years of leaf litter and corrode through while the tiles above them look perfectly sound. We replace valley irons full length, reform flashings with proper cover, and swap out broken tiles while we are up there. We do not offer pressure clean and coating restoration packages.
