A leak rarely fixes itself, and a dab of silicone rarely fixes it either. On Bellevue roofs we find where the water is really getting in, repair it properly, and when wear has spread across the entire roof, restore it so the leaks stop for good.

Most people in Bellevue do not think about their roof until there is a brown ring on the ceiling or a bucket in the hallway. By then, water has usually been getting in for a while. The stain you can see is often a metre or more from where the leak actually starts, because water runs along battens and sarking before it drips through.
That is why we never start with a guess. Our owner comes out, gets up on your Bellevue roof and traces the problem back to its source, photographing everything along the way. Then you get a straight answer. If one cracked tile or a failed flashing is to blame, we fix just that. If the roof is leaking in several places because it is worn out across the board, we will tell you, and explain how a restoration stops the cycle of leak after leak.

Roofs on established homes usually leak for the same handful of reasons. Ridge bedding dries, shrinks and splits as the years go by, and once the pointing on top opens up, rain driven by wind gets straight underneath. Tiles turn brittle with age, and a branch, hailstone or careless foot can crack one without anybody noticing. Valleys, the metal channels where two roof slopes meet, rust or fill with leaves, and in a heavy downpour they overflow sideways under the tiles.
Flashings are another weak point. Where the roof meets a wall, chimney or skylight, the seal relies on metal flashing and sealant that both break down over time. Then there are blocked gutters, which can push water back up into the eaves. In Bellevue, as in most leafy parts of Melbourne, trees, summer heat and winter rain all play their part. The upside is that every one of these problems can be found and fixed.
A proper leak repair has two parts: finding the source, then fixing it so it stays fixed.
Photos of each problem, and of the finished repair, land in your inbox afterwards.
If there is a stain, we start beneath it, popping into the roof cavity to see which way the water has been running. Then we head up top and look over the roof as a whole, tile courses, ridge lines, valleys, flashings and gutters, because a leak in one place often has a neighbour waiting to start.
Every issue is photographed and talked through in plain English, and a written quote follows for the work required. No charge for coming out, and no commitment on your part.
One leak is a repair. Leaks in three or four rooms, plus cracked pointing on most ridges and tiles that have turned porous, usually mean the roof is worn out overall. Chasing each one separately ends up dearer than dealing with the whole roof in a single job.
That is what a restoration does. The pressure washer comes out first to strip back years of dirt and lichen. Next, cracked tiles are changed, loose ridge and hip caps are reset, and fresh flexible pointing is run along every ridge line. Valleys and flashings get whatever they need. Last, a sealer, a primer and a finish coat in your preferred colour go on, leaving a surface that sheds water properly again. Our roof restoration services page has the full step-by-step. For the price of a restoration, which is well short of a new roof, the leaks stop right across the house.
Leak repairs are only as good as the person diagnosing them. Ours is the owner, a roofer of more than 25 years, who looks at each roof personally and stays involved through to the finished job.
We are covered by a current licence and insurance, and every repair passes our quality-assured checks. We put covers over garden beds, protect paths and the driveway, and leave your place clean. The quote you get is written, easy to follow and limited to what the roof needs.
