A repair should not stick out like a sore thumb. On Broadmeadows homes we match replacement tiles, pointing and coatings to your roof, whether we are fixing a single leak or restoring the whole thing in a fresh colour.
No Fees. No Obligation. Open 7 Days a Week.
Nothing gives away a quick patch job like a bright orange tile in a sea of faded brown, or a stripe of grey pointing on a red ridge. Broadmeadows homeowners have seen plenty of that over the years. We do it differently. Every tile we replace and every ridge we repoint is matched to what is already there, so the repair disappears into the roof.
Much of Broadmeadows was built as a Housing Commission suburb in the 1950s and 60s, and those solid brick and weatherboard homes are still the backbone of streets around Broadmeadows station, Pascoe Vale Road and Jack Roper Reserve. Most carry concrete tile roofs that have weathered sixty-plus years. We come up the Western Ring Road from Cairnlea, inspect, photograph and give you a straight answer: targeted repairs, or a full restoration with a new colour coat.

The building boom that created Broadmeadows used materials that were practical and affordable, chiefly concrete tiles, sand-and-cement ridge bedding and galvanised steel valleys. Sixty years on, every one of those components is showing its age. The tile surface has worn off, leaving porous, chalky tiles that hold moisture and grow lichen. The ridge mortar has dried, cracked and let go of the caps. And the valleys have rusted from beneath, where leaves and water have sat season after season.
Broadmeadows sits out in the open northern suburbs, so roofs cop hot, dry northerlies in summer and squally fronts in winter. Each storm tests loose ridges and brittle tiles. Over the decades, many homes have also had extensions or quick fixes with whatever tiles were on hand, which is why so many roofs here are a patchwork of slightly different colours and profiles.
Matching matters, but fixing the fault comes first. Here is what our repair work covers:
Up top, we work through the roof piece by piece: tile condition and colour, ridge caps and pointing, hips, valleys, flashings and gutters, plus any extensions where old and new roofs meet. We also note the colours already on the roof, so any repair we quote can be matched.
You then get the photos and our findings explained without jargon, with urgent work marked separately from items that can wait. A written price follows. None of this costs you a cent, and the decision is yours alone.
When most of the roof is porous and faded and the ridges are failing all round, restoration is the better buy. It also solves the patchwork problem in one go, because the whole roof ends up in a single, even colour.
We start with a thorough wash under high pressure, then replace cracked tiles, rebuild every ridge and repair valleys and flashings. After that, the sealer and primer go down, followed by a finish coat in the shade of your choosing, whether that is a classic terracotta red, a modern charcoal or something in between. For a modest share of what new tiles would cost, the whole house looks different.
