Careful work makes all the difference on a roof. In Laburnum, we fix slipped tiles, repoint ridges and repaint faded roofs with the owner on site, and we take the time to explain whether a repair or a full restoration is right for your home.

Laburnum is a quiet, leafy neighbourhood in Melbourne’s east, gathered around Laburnum station on the Belgrave and Lilydale line. Its streets are full of established homes and mature gardens, and many houses still sit under the tiled roofs they were built with. Those roofs have served their owners well, but time eventually catches up with every one of them.
We travel to Laburnum to help homeowners work out what their roof really needs. That starts with a careful inspection on the roof, with photos of anything that needs attention. You then get a written quote that is honest about the options. We would rather do a small repair well than talk you into work you do not need, and we treat your garden with the same care as your tiles.

The mature trees that make Laburnum so pleasant are also a roof’s biggest challenge. Leaves and twigs fill gutters and valleys, especially through autumn, and wet debris resting against metal leads to rust. When a valley blocks, water backs up beneath the tiles and makes its way into the ceiling.
Shade plays a part as well. Roofs under big trees stay damp longer, so moss and lichen settle in and slowly break down the tile surface. On top of that, the ridge mortar on older homes has been through decades of summer heat and winter chill. It shrinks, cracks and lets go, and loose caps soon follow. Tiles can also creep out of place over the years, particularly where battens have shifted or nails have rusted. None of these problems is dramatic at first, but they compound. A careful check now heads off a much bigger job later.
We approach every repair carefully, from the first tile we lift to the last one we set back in place.
You will receive photos of each problem and of the finished work, so nothing is left to guesswork.
We begin by getting up on the roof and looking at it properly, section by section, from the ridge caps down to the gutter line. Whatever needs attention is captured on camera.
Then we sit down with you, explain what we saw without technical jargon and follow up with an itemised written quote. No fee, no follow-up phone calls pushing you to commit. If the roof is in decent shape, we will happily tell you so and leave it at that.
When the tiles are faded, porous and mossy right across the roof, and the pointing has failed on most ridges, patching has stopped being the smart option. A full restoration brings the whole roof back into good condition in a single job.
The process starts with a thorough pressure clean. Broken tiles get changed, every ridge and hip is rebuilt, and the valleys and flashings are put back in working order. Finally, the tiles are sealed, primed and repainted in a colour you choose, and the house instantly looks better cared for. You pay a fraction of new-roof money. For a fuller explanation, see our roof restoration services; we can also bring colour samples when we inspect.
Care is the thread through all of it. Our owner works on each Laburnum roof personally, with 25-plus years in the trade to draw on. Paperwork-wise, we hold a licence and insurance, and the work is quality assured.
Before a single tile is lifted, drop sheets go over garden beds and boards go down on paths. When we finish, we clean up thoroughly, including the gutters we have just been working above. Quotes are written, clear and limited to the work your roof needs. Laburnum is across town from our Cairnlea yard, but we turn up when we say we will.
