Kerrimuir is one of those small, settled corners of Melbourne’s east, made up largely of established brick homes on generous suburban blocks with mature gardens. Many of those houses still carry their original tiled roofs, and after several decades of sun, rain and the occasional storm, the signs of age start to show: a stain on the ceiling, a cracked tile in the gutter or a ridge line that no longer looks straight.
The question is whether to repair or restore. We help you answer it properly. Once we have made the trip across from Cairnlea, our owner inspects the roof, takes photos and talks you through the options. A sound roof with a couple of problems gets a targeted repair. A roof that is worn right across gets an honest recommendation for restoration.

A roof does not fail all at once. It wears down a bit each year. The mortar holding ridge caps in place slowly loses strength and cracks. Tiles get brittle and can break under the weight of a fallen branch or someone walking on them carelessly. Galvanised valleys rust from the inside, and flashings around chimneys and walls lift or split.
In Kerrimuir, mature trees are part of what makes the streets pleasant, but they drop leaves into gutters and valleys and leave parts of the roof in shade for much of the day. Over time that encourages lichen and moss and causes water to back up during heavy rain. Many homes here have also had additions or renovations over the years, and the joins between old and new roof sections are a common source of leaks. None of these problems are unusual for established homes, and most are straightforward to fix if caught early.
With roofs of 50 or 60 years’ standing, the fix is often smaller than people expect. Typical Kerrimuir jobs look like this:
You get photos of the work before and after.
Kerrimuir quotes are never done from the nature strip, ladder or no ladder. Once up, we look along each row of tiles, test ridge and hip caps for movement, peer into the valleys for rust spots and soggy leaves, and inspect flashings at chimneys, walls and any extensions. If there is a stain, we get into the roof space and trace it back.
Next comes a chat in ordinary language, photos in hand, and a written price that covers what needs doing. We charge nothing for coming out, and there is no deadline on making up your mind.
When cracked pointing runs along most of the ridges, tiles are breaking in several areas and lichen covers much of the surface, another round of repairs will not get you far. Restoring the roof gives it a genuine second life without the expense of replacing it.
The process runs in a set order. A thorough high-pressure wash takes off lichen and decades of grime. Cracked tiles get changed. Ridge and hip caps that have shifted are bedded down again, then the lot is repointed. Valley irons and flashings are patched up or renewed. After that come sealer, primer and the finish colour you pick, protecting the tiles and freshening up the look of the house from the street. It is a much smaller spend than a re-roof and keeps the original tiles working for years to come. Our roof restoration services page has more detail.
Ultra Finish is not a call centre with a fleet of subcontractors. It is an owner with more than 25 years in the game who still turns up to every job, backed by a small, trusted crew. The owner is who you talk to when you ring, and who is up on your roof when the work happens.
We carry a current licence and insurance, and our workmanship meets a quality-assured standard. Before we start, we put covers over garden beds near the walls and protect paths and the driveway. When we finish, the old mortar, broken tiles and leaf litter go in our trailer, not your bin.
