Braybrook is a quick drive from our Cairnlea yard, which makes us the neighbours you call when tiles crack or a ceiling starts to stain. We repair cement tile roofs, repoint ridges and repaint faded roofs, and every price is set down in writing first.

There is something to be said for a roofer who lives and works in the same part of town. We know Braybrook: the post-war homes off Ballarat Road, the streets running down towards the Maribyrnong, the townhouse developments that replaced old factories. We know how those roofs were built and how they tend to fail.
Being close means we can get to you quickly when a leak turns up. The owner inspects your roof in person, photographs what needs attention and then explains it simply. Repair or restore? We will tell you straight. Plenty of Braybrook roofs only need a few tiles swapped and a ridge repointed. Others have worn out across the board and will cost less in the long run to restore than to keep patching.

A big part of Braybrook was built in the late 1940s and 1950s, much of it modest public and private housing for the workers who powered the area’s factories. Those homes typically have concrete tile roofs with mortar-bedded ridges, and many are still on their original tiles seventy years later. More recently, townhouses and units have gone up on former industrial land, with their own roofing quirks.
On the older homes, tile surfaces have long worn away, so the tiles drink in rain, sprout lichen and turn a mottled grey. Ridge mortar has dried out and cracked, leaving caps loose. Galvanised valleys are rusting. Braybrook sits on flat, open ground in the west, so the prevailing winds hit hard and find every weakness. On newer townhouses, the issues are usually flashings at wall junctions and box gutters, where small installation shortcuts can lead to leaks within a few years.
Every job comes with a before shot and an after shot, so you can see the cracked tile, the crumbling ridge or the rusty valley, and then see it fixed. If you are not sure whether the problem was worth calling about, those photos settle it.
Because we are only a few minutes up the road, booking a look at your Braybrook roof is easy. On a post-war house, the owner concentrates on ridge mortar, tile porosity and those original valley irons. On a townhouse, the focus shifts to where render meets roof and to box gutter outlets, the usual suspects in newer builds. Every fault ends up in a photo.
We show you the pictures on the spot, tell you which items are pressing, then email or hand over a written price listing just the work you pick. No charge for any of it.
Many original Braybrook roofs have reached the stage where repairs only delay the inevitable. Porous tiles across the whole roof, failing ridges and multiple leak points add up to a roof that needs restoring.
On a seventy-year-old cement tile roof, the transformation can be dramatic. The wash alone peels away decades of factory-era grime and lichen. With the tiles clean, cracked ones are easy to spot and replace. Ridges are stripped back, laid on new bedding and pointed in a flexible compound, rusted valley irons give way to new ones, and the coating system goes on last in a colour you choose. Plenty of owners near Ballarat Road tell us the new roof colour changed how the whole house looks from the footpath. The cost? A fraction of pulling the roof off and starting again.

Picking a roofer from the same patch has practical upsides. We are close enough to come back and check a repair after a big downpour, and our reputation in the west depends on Braybrook jobs being done well.
