We’ve been restoring roofs in Melbourne for over 30 years and we’re proud of what we do.

  • Roof Repointing

    This involves replacing the mortar between tiles, which can become loose or cracked over time. This improves water resistance and the overall stability of the roof.

  • Timber Baton Replacement

    The battens are the wooden supports under the tiles. Damaged or rotten battens compromise the structural integrity of the roof and need replacement.

  • Waterproof Sarking Installation

    Sarking is a waterproof membrane installed underneath the tiles. A new sarking layer can be necessary if the existing one is damaged or missing, providing an extra layer of protection from water infiltration.

  • Gutter Cleaning & Replacement

    Regular gutter cleaning removes debris that can block water flow. Damaged or overflowing gutters need replacement to ensure proper drainage and prevent water damage to your home.

  • Damaged Tile Replacement

    Upgrading your roof to replace individual broken, cracked, or missing tiles to maintain a watertight roof surface which looks great.

  • Ridge Capping Replacement

    The ridge capping covers the peak of the roof. Cracked or broken ridge capping allows water infiltration and needs to be replaced to ensure proper sealing.

  • Roof Painting

    Roof painting doesn't just improve aesthetics. A specialised roof paint creates a protective layer that enhances weather resistance and extends the lifespan of the tiles.

  • Roof Inspections

    Regular roof inspections are crucial for early detection of any potential problems like leaks, damaged tiles, or failing components. Early intervention can prevent costly repairs down the line.

Frequently Asked Questions

Roof restoration goes beyond just fixing leaks. It’s a comprehensive overhaul that addresses existing issues such as damaged tiles or failing mortar, adds preventative measures such as waterproof membranes and improved ventilation, and rejuvenates your roof with repointing and painting. This extends your roof’s lifespan, improves its performance, and enhances your home’s curb appeal and value.

A typical roof restoration includes a thorough inspection, repairs to address leaks and damaged components, preventative measures like installing sarking and improving ventilation, and improvements like repointing and a fresh coat of paint.

  • Signs your roof may need restoration include curling or cracked shingles, leaks, visible moss growth, or a noticeable decline in energy efficiency. For minor leaks or damaged tiles, repairs might suffice. However, if you see widespread issues or your roof is nearing the end of its lifespan (around 15-20 years for some materials), restoration is a better long-term solution.

The cost of roof restoration varies depending on the size and condition of your roof, the materials used, and the complexity of the job. Generally, roof restoration can range from $3,000 to $12,000 for an average-sized home. For a more accurate estimate, we can provide you an obligation free inspection and consultation.
