Maidstone is only a short drive from our Cairnlea base, so getting to you is quick. From interwar bungalows near the Maribyrnong to 1940s concrete homes and newer townhouses, we rebed, repoint, swap broken tiles and recoat roofs that need a fresh start.

Maidstone packs a lot of housing history into a small area. Between Ballarat Road and the Maribyrnong River you will find interwar weatherboards, Californian bungalows, some lovely Art Deco brick homes, solid 1940s concrete houses and, increasingly, townhouses on subdivided blocks near Highpoint. Each of those roofs ages differently, so a leak in a 1930s bungalow is a different job from a leak in a 2010s townhouse.
So we will not guess at a price from a phone description. We drive across from Cairnlea, get on your Maidstone roof and see what is going on for ourselves. Photos are taken of every issue, and you get our honest take: a straightforward repair, or a roof worn out enough that a full restoration is the better path.

Maidstone’s position on the rise above the river also means the higher streets catch the westerly winds. A storm can easily lift a cap that was already half free. Knowing which era of home we are dealing with helps us pin down the cause quickly.
Once we know the cause, the fix is usually straightforward. Our Maidstone repairs cover leak tracing on every style of roof, broken or cracked tile replacement in terracotta and concrete, and rebedding of loose ridge caps finished with flexible repointing that will not crack with the next hot spell.
We also replace rusted valleys, repair and reseal flashings around chimneys and parapets, and deal with blocked or leaking box gutters on Art Deco homes and townhouses. If a storm has done damage, we can make things safe quickly, then return to complete a permanent repair.
Throughout, we take photos so you can see the before, the problem and the finished result. We also keep original tiles and caps wherever possible, because on a character home they are part of what makes it special.
A Maidstone inspection means boots on tiles. We cover the roof from gutter to ridge, then poke into the awkward bits: the box gutter behind an Art Deco parapet, the valley over the bungalow’s sleepout, the join where a townhouse wall meets its lower roof. The camera records every doubtful spot. Down in the kitchen we go through those shots, label each one urgent or later, and send a written quote for the necessary work. No charge for any of it, and plenty of time to mull it over.
Spot repairs make sense until the faults outnumber the sound bits. On plenty of 1940s and post-war concrete roofs around Maidstone that have never been touched, that tipping point has well and truly passed: lichen everywhere, ridges loose all round, tiles drinking every shower.
So we restore. The wash comes first and takes off decades of river-flat grime. Next, any tile with a split or broken nib is changed; ridges are stripped, re-laid and pointed in flexible compound; tired valleys and flashings are renewed. On concrete roofs, the tiles then take a sealer, primer and colour coats. Interwar terracotta is a different conversation, and we will tell you honestly if it is better left uncoated. Either way, you spend much less than new tiles would cost.

Think of us as the roofer around the corner: small, owner-led and close by. The owner has been on the tools for over 25 years and works every Maidstone job himself, so the person who looked at your bungalow’s ridges is the person rebedding them.
