Keilor Downs homes from the 1980s and 90s have hit the age where pointing crumbles, tiles crack and coatings go chalky. Our licensed crew works out of Cairnlea, minutes from your door, and you will get a no-nonsense verdict: repair it, or restore it.

Much of Keilor Downs went up through the 1980s and 1990s, and its streets of brick-veneer family homes around Keilor Central and Green Gully Reserve have worn the years well. Their roofs are another story. Thirty-odd years in, it is common to find the ridge pointing flaking, a scatter of cracked tiles and a coating that has faded to a dusty grey, often all on the same roof.
Our Cairnlea yard is just minutes away, so popping over to look at your Keilor Downs roof is no trouble at all. Once up there, we check each tile, ridge and valley and take pictures of anything that worries us. You get those pictures, a written price and an honest opinion. Where a repair will carry the roof for years, the quote is for the repair. Where it will not, we show you why restoring is the better spend.

Melbourne’s west hands out a rough mix: dry, scorching northerlies through summer, icy westerly fronts in winter and wind almost every week of the year. Homes on the higher, more exposed streets of Keilor Downs cop the strongest of it, and that wind gets to work on ridge caps the moment the pointing cracks.
The materials are showing their age too. Concrete tiles from that era have shed most of their factory finish, so they drink in water, sprout lichen and lose their colour. The mortar bed under each ridge shrinks as it dries, and the pointing on top crazes and lets go. Older valley irons and flashings may be rusting or lifting. Because it all creeps along slowly, most owners only find out when a brown ring appears on the ceiling. Getting a look now means catching it while the fix is still small and cheap.
We chase down the real cause before we fix anything, then repair it with materials that suit the roof.
You will get before and after pictures of every repair. And since we are just around the corner, popping back after the next big downpour to double-check the fix is never a hassle.
Once we are up, every part of the roof gets looked at: tiles, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings and gutters. Anything doubtful goes on camera, so you see precisely what we see.
Back on the ground, we talk it through over the photos and send an itemised quote, with the urgent jobs flagged apart from the ones that can sit for a season. Mull it over at your own pace; the visit is on us.
When wear has spread over the whole roof, with tired, porous tiles everywhere, pointing failing on ridge after ridge and valleys starting to rust, patch jobs just buy time. That is when a full restoration starts to make real sense.
A pressure cleaner takes off three decades of grime and lichen first. Split tiles are then swapped, each hip and ridge gets a complete rebuild, and the metal in the valleys is renewed wherever rust has bitten. Last of all, the tiles are sealed, primed and finished in a shade you have picked from our colour chart. Re-roofing would cost many times as much, and this keeps the tiles you already own in service for years yet. For more information, see roof restoration in Keilor Downs and how we go about it.
