Rural homes around Badger Creek, just outside Healesville, deal with storms, heavy rain and plenty of falling timber. We travel out to fix storm damage, slipped tiles and worn ridge caps, and our owner has more than 25 years of experience on roofs like yours.

Badger Creek sits in the foothills just south of Healesville, where farmland meets forest and the Yarra Valley starts climbing towards the ranges. Homes here range from older weatherboards and farmhouses to newer places on acreage, and nearly all of them are surrounded by trees. It is a lovely part of the world, but it is also wet, windy at times, and very leafy.
Our owner makes the trip to Badger Creek personally, gets on your roof, works out what is wrong and tells you honestly what it needs, be that a repair, a full restoration or simply clear gutters and valleys. Photos and a written price reach you before anyone picks up a tool.

Badger Creek gets more rain than Melbourne’s suburbs, and plenty of houses sit among tall timber that keep the roof shaded and damp. That is ideal for moss and lichen, which hold moisture against the tiles and gradually break down their surface. Ridge mortar that rarely dries out softens and crumbles over time.
Storms are the other big factor. When strong winds come through the valley, branches come down, and even a mid-sized limb can crack a row of tiles or knock a ridge cap loose. The damage is not always visible from the ground, and it often only shows up as a leak during the next heavy rain.
Leaf litter is constant out here. Eucalypts shed leaves and bark year-round, and it all ends up in valleys and gutters. Once those are blocked, water backs up under the tiles and into the ceiling.
Once a storm has passed through the valley, the job is usually twofold: stop any more water getting in today, then put the roof back properly when conditions allow.
Out on rural blocks, roofs are often bigger and more complicated than suburban ones, with verandahs, add-ons and old sheds tied in. Our owner walks all of it and pays attention to where branches hang over, where leaf litter collects and how the water is meant to leave the roof.
You will see every photo taken. The written quote that follows tells you which jobs should happen before winter and which can be left for now, and the decision is yours alone.
A roof that has spent twenty or thirty years shaded by gums tends to wear evenly, which means once one part is finished, the rest is not far behind. If tiles across the roof stay dark for days after rain and pointing is breaking up all around, patching becomes a chore that never ends.
A restoration gives you a clean slate. We wash off every trace of moss and lichen, replace broken tiles, reset and repoint the ridge caps and renew failing valleys. Then the tiles are sealed and coated so rain beads and runs off instead of soaking in. Compared with re-roofing a house out here, it is a modest spend.
