Laurimar's estate homes are reaching the age where small roof faults start to show. Our team of 25-plus years fixes leaks, cracked tiles and worn pointing, then recoats the roof if it needs it, always explaining first what is worth doing and what is not.

Laurimar in Doreen started taking shape in the early 2000s, and the first streets near the town centre and along Hazel Glen Drive now hold homes that are close to twenty years old. That is young for a house but a turning point for a roof. Pointing laid during the build is often starting to crack, valleys have collected years of debris, and the factory colour on concrete tiles has begun to fade.
None of that means you need a new roof. In most cases it means a few well-chosen repairs, done before winter rain turns a hairline crack into a ceiling stain. We service Laurimar and the wider Doreen area. After a proper look at your roof, we show you photos, explain what we would fix and why, and only suggest a full restoration where the roof as a whole is ready for it.

Estate homes tend to go up quickly, and a roof built at speed can carry small weaknesses that only show years later. Thin pointing is a common one: it looks fine on handover but cracks once the roof has been through a decade or two of hot summers and frosty Plenty Valley nights.
Laurimar is also fairly open to the north and west, so roofs cop strong sun and wind. UV slowly strips the colour and glaze from concrete tiles, so they fade and start soaking up rain. Wind works at ridge caps whose bedding has dried out.
Then there are the extras added over the years: solar panels, air-conditioning units, antennas and skylights. Each install means someone walking across the tiles and cutting or sealing around a new penetration. Cracked tiles and poorly sealed fittings from these jobs are among the most common causes of leaks we trace on newer homes.
Most repairs on a roof this age are straightforward if you catch them early. We focus on:
Photos accompany everything we do, so you can see the fault and the fix.
We go up and look closely at every part of the roof, including the upper levels on double-storey homes that cannot be seen from the street. Ridges, tiles, valleys, flashings, penetrations and gutters are all checked, and anything amiss is photographed. We then run you through what we found, explain what is urgent and what is not, and email a quote setting out, item by item, the repairs that genuinely matter. You pay nothing for the visit and are free to say no.
If several problems turn up across the roof at once, such as pointing cracking on every ridge, tiles faded to a chalky finish and leaks in more than one spot, a full restoration may serve you better than separate repairs.
On a near-twenty-year-old estate roof, that usually means a pressure clean, replacing any broken tiles, reworking the ridge caps and pointing, fixing up the valleys and flashings, and finishing with a sealer, a primer and fresh colour coats in a shade you like. Many owners use the chance to modernise the look of the house. The outlay is a small share of what re-roofing would cost, and it puts the roof in great shape for its next couple of decades.

You deal with the owner from start to finish. His quarter-century-plus of roofing goes into every Laurimar job, because he is the one on the tiles, not a subcontractor you only meet on the day. We are licensed and insured, and our standards are checked on every job before we call it complete.
Our quotes are written and plain, covering only what your roof needs. Young estate gardens, exposed aggregate driveways and paths are all covered before work begins, and swept clean once we are done. If your Laurimar roof has a leak, a cracked tile or worn pointing, give the owner a ring on 0421 990 207 for a no-charge inspection.
