Laverton sits on flat, open ground where the wind off the bay and the basalt plains never really stops. We repair loose ridges, cracked tiles and wind-driven leaks, and roofs beaten past patching get a complete restoration.
No Fees. No Obligation. Open 7 Days a Week.
If you live in Laverton, you know the wind. It comes across the flat western plains and in off Port Phillip Bay with very little to slow it down, and it works on every roof in the suburb day after day. Loose ridge caps rattle, tiles creep out of line, and rain gets driven sideways into gaps that would stay dry in a sheltered street.
Ultra Finish Roofing is based in Cairnlea, not far up the road, and we see a lot of wind-worn roofs in this part of the west. When you call us, our owner comes out, gets on the roof and photographs exactly what the weather has done. The advice that follows is blunt: patch the damaged bits, or, if the wind has won, restore the lot.

Laverton grew up around RAAF Base Laverton, now RAAF Base Williams, and many of its streets were laid out in the post-war years, with a large number of Housing Commission homes built from the late 1950s. Those houses are now sixty-odd years old, and plenty still carry their original concrete tiles and sand-and-cement ridge mortar. Newer units and infill homes have since been added between them.
The setting is about as exposed as Melbourne gets. Flat basalt country stretches west, the bay is just to the south-east, and there are few tall trees to break the wind. Gusts lift ridge caps whose bedding has gone brittle, and wind-driven rain gets pushed under tiles and around flashings. Salt carried inland from the bay speeds up rust on valley irons and leaves a film that holds grime. Dust from the industrial areas to the north and from open land nearby settles on roofs too, feeding lichen and clogging gutters.
On a wind-battered roof, the right repair is usually one that holds things down and seals them up. Our regular jobs in Laverton include:
Photos go to you showing each fault and how it was sorted.
Our owner climbs up and walks the roof, starting with the ridges and exposed edges that take the brunt of the wind off the bay and the plains. From there we check the condition of the tiles, the bedding and pointing, the valley irons, flashings and gutters, photographing every problem. Back on the ground, you get a jargon-free summary of what the photos show, followed by a written quote. It costs nothing, and a roof needing two caps refixed gets a quote for two caps.
Sixty years of salt wind and western sun eventually catches up with a roof. If most ridges are loose, pointing has failed along the whole roof, tiles have turned porous and stained, and leaks keep cropping up, spot repairs will not keep up. A restoration deals with all of it in one go.
First the salt film, dust and lichen come off under the pressure cleaner. We change any damaged tiles, re-lay the ridges on new mortar and point them with flexible compound, and renew whatever valley iron or flashing the salt has eaten. The roof is then sealed, primed and coated in the colour you choose, leaving a smoother surface that sheds water and grime more easily. Expect to spend a fraction of re-roof money. The roof restoration in Laverton page goes deeper if you want to weigh it up first.

You are covered by our licence and insurance, and each job finishes with a quality-assurance check. Our written quotes avoid jargon and padding alike. Gardens and paths are protected, driveways kept clear, and the site left clean. Loose debris is never left on a roof or in a gutter where the next gust could send it flying.
