Bellfield's post-war homes, many now renovated or extended, often have roofs where old tiles meet newer sections. Our experienced team replaces broken tiles, repoints ridges and repaints roofs, and we tell you honestly what is worth fixing.

Bellfield is a small Banyule suburb, built up largely in the post-war years, with Darebin Creek running nearby and Ford Park as a green centrepiece. Many of its original 1950s homes have since been renovated, extended or replaced with townhouses. That creates a real patchwork of roofs: some original, some new, and some where old and new meet.
Those meeting points are often where the trouble starts. We come out to Bellfield to inspect roofs on foot, photograph what we find and set out your options clearly. With 25-plus years in roofing, we can judge whether a repair will hold for years or whether the roof is better off restored. Quotes come in writing, and you will not find a list of nice-to-haves tacked on.

Original 1950s roofs are now around seventy years old, and that age shows. Ridge bedding has dried and cracked, pointing has fallen away and caps have started to shift. Terracotta and concrete tiles from that era are often brittle or porous, and early valley irons are well past their use-by date.
Renovations bring a different set of problems. When an extension goes on, its roof has to tie into the old one, and that junction depends on carefully fitted flashings and valleys. If the work was rushed, or the materials have aged at different rates, water finds a way in. We also come across tiles cracked by tradespeople walking on the roof during building work. On top of that, mature trees near the creek and the parkland drop leaves into gutters. Every one of these issues is fixable, but you need to know which you are dealing with first.
Our repairs start with finding the cause:
Photos are supplied before and after every repair, which is useful if a builder or insurer ever needs to see them. Where a renovation is behind the problem, we will tell you plainly, without pointing fingers.
We inspect the whole roof from on top, including tiles, ridges, valleys, flashings, gutters and any junctions with extensions. Everything is photographed.
Then we explain what we found in clear language and send an itemised written quote. If an earlier renovation is behind a leak, we will show you exactly where and why, and what it would take to make that junction watertight for good. The inspection is free, and you are under no obligation to go ahead.
If the original roof is worn all over, with spongy tiles, pointing gone on most ridges and valleys turning orange, fixing problems one at a time stops making sense. A restoration tackles the lot in one job.
We clean the roof with high-pressure water, change broken tiles, re-set and point every ridge and hip, and replace rusty valley sections and tired chimney flashings. The tiles are then sealed, primed and painted in a colour of your choice, which can also help an older roof sit more comfortably alongside a newer extension. Re-roofing would cost far more, and this keeps the existing tiles working for a long while yet. Every stage is set out on our roof restoration in Bellfield page.
