Gladstone Park's early-1970s homes have reached the age where ridges loosen, tiles crack and colours fade. From our base nearby in Cairnlea, we rebed loose ridges, swap cracked tiles and recoat tired roofs, with the owner up on the roof for every job.

Gladstone Park was laid out as a planned estate from the late 1960s into the 1970s, so most homes here went up within a few years of one another. That means a lot of roofs in the suburb are hitting the same milestone at once. Concrete tiles and ridge bedding that were brand new half a century ago are now well past their prime.
We are just a short drive away in Cairnlea, and roofs of this vintage are bread and butter for us. A free inspection gets us onto your roof to check every part of it, with photos and a written quote to follow. You will hear honestly whether a few fixes will carry the roof for years or whether the whole thing has reached the point where restoring it is the smarter move.

Sitting right beside Melbourne Airport and the Tullamarine Freeway, Gladstone Park is open to the broad, flat country of the north-west. There is little to block the wind, so gusty northerlies and westerlies hit roofs hard. That wind is the main reason we keep finding ridge caps on the move and tiles lifted here.
The sun does its share too. Decades of summer heat break down the surface of concrete tiles, leaving them porous, faded and prone to lichen. Mortar under the ridges dries, shrinks and cracks with every hot-and-cold cycle. Original valley irons, now around fifty years old, rust from the inside out. And because so many homes were built together, these problems tend to surface along whole streets at roughly the same time. If the neighbours have had roofers in lately, yours is probably due for a look as well.
We repair the problem where it starts, using methods that stand up in exposed conditions.
Where solar panels sit over a problem area, we work carefully around them and show you photos of what is underneath.
We inspect your roof from on top, checking each tile, ridge, hip, valley, flashing and gutter. Pictures are taken of everything we come across, so you can see it for yourself without climbing up.
Then we explain the results without the trade talk and send a written, itemised quote. Urgent items are flagged separately from ones that can wait. The inspection is free, and we will not hassle you for an answer.
On many fifty-year-old roofs, the wear is spread right across the surface. If the tiles are porous all over, most ridges are loose and the valleys are rusting, a restoration gives you far better value than a string of repairs.
The process starts with a pressure clean to lift off the lichen and grime. Cracked tiles go, ridge lines get rebuilt with new mortar and pointing, and any rusty valley iron or perished flashing is replaced. With every fault fixed, we seal and prime the tiles and roll on the colour you picked. Compared with re-roofing it is a modest spend, and it can make a big difference to how the house looks from the street. Further information sits on our roof restoration in Gladstone Park page, if you want to read before we talk.
