Rural roofs north of Melbourne Airport get the full force of sun, wind and the odd hailstorm. We repair cracked tiles and failed ridges on Konagaderra Springs homes and restore roofs that have weathered too many seasons.
No Fees. No Obligation. Open 7 Days a Week.
Out in the open country north of the airport, a roof has very little shelter. Konagaderra Springs properties are mostly rural and lifestyle homes on large blocks, often with a big house roof plus sheds and outbuildings, and the weather comes at them from every direction. Hot, dry summers bake the tiles; cold fronts and storms sweep across the paddocks with nothing to slow them down.
When something goes wrong, distance from town can make it tempting to put off calling someone. We would encourage you not to. From Cairnlea, it is not a long trip up to Konagaderra Springs, and we will gladly drive out, climb up and show you, photo by photo, what is going on. Small problems tend to be cheap to fix early. Left alone on an exposed rural roof, they spread quickly.

The landscape north of Melbourne Airport is wide and fairly flat, and that exposure is the main reason roofs here wear the way they do. Gusty northerlies in summer and blustery fronts in winter put constant pressure on ridge caps and edge tiles. Once the mortar under a ridge cracks, each windy day works it a little looser.
Summer heat out here is intense, and long hours of direct sun break down the surface of concrete tiles and the coatings on older roofs. Then, when the weather turns, sudden storms can bring heavy rain or hail. Dust carried on the wind settles into valleys and gutters, and combined with leaves from windbreak trees it can block drainage just when you need it most. Big rural homes often have large, rarely visited roof spaces, so a slow leak can go unnoticed for months.
Our repairs are aimed at fixing the fault properly and leaving the roof tougher than it was. The main jobs are:
Ridges. Caps rattled loose by the wind are set on fresh mortar, then sealed in flexible pointing that stands up to wind and movement.
Tile replacement. A tile holed by hail or knocked out of line is changed for one of the same profile and as near the same colour as we can find.
Leak tracing. We check the roof and, where needed, the roof space to find where water is getting through.
Valleys and flashings. Dust-choked or rusted valleys are cleaned or replaced and flashings are resecured.
Storm damage. After a big blow or hailstorm we make the roof safe, then return for the permanent fix.
Gutter cleaning. We clear out dust, leaves and debris so water drains away from the house.
On a rural property we check the main house roof thoroughly, covering tiles, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings and gutters, and can look over other tiled structures while we are there. Long driveways and farm gates are no problem; just let us know about dogs or livestock before we arrive. Every issue is photographed.
You then get our findings in simple terms, a clear split between urgent and non-urgent work, and a written quote. Because we have driven out, we make the most of it and look at everything, but the visit is still free of charge, with nothing to commit to.
If your roof has failing ridges along most of its length, tiles that have gone porous and faded, and leaks in more than one place, a full restoration makes more sense than chasing individual faults. On a large rural roof, that can save a great deal compared with re-roofing.
First comes a powerful wash that takes off the dust, grime and growth of many summers. Broken tiles go, ridges are rebuilt from the bedding up, and valleys and flashings are made watertight. Then the coating system goes on: sealer, primer and a final colour coat chosen to suit your home and setting. The result is a roof that can take on the weather again, for a fraction of replacement cost.
Details of each stage sit on our roof restoration services page.
Whether your property is a few acres or something larger, we treat it with care. We know rural owners often juggle stock, crops or work commitments, so we keep you updated on timing and work around the weather, which matters a lot when coating a roof in open country.
