Leak in the hallway, ridge caps rattling in the northerly or a roof that has faded to a dull pink-grey? Our Cairnlea crew stops leaks, swaps broken tiles, repoints ridges and repaints tired roofs across Meadow Heights, and we will tell you which of those you actually need.

Meadow Heights was mostly built from the late 1970s through the 1980s, on gently rising land north of Broadmeadows. Its streets are full of brick-veneer family homes, the majority under concrete tile roofs. Those roofs are now forty-odd years old, which is right around the time the original coating wears away and the ridge mortar starts to let go.
Because we work out of Cairnlea, getting to Meadow Heights is a quick trip around the ring road for us. We can come and look at a leak, a loose ridge or a roof you are simply worried about, and give you a straight answer. Our inspection is done on the roof, with photos, and the result is a written quote that covers what your home needs and nothing more. Sometimes that is a morning’s work. Sometimes it is a full restoration. You will know which, and why.

This part of the north is open and fairly exposed. Hot northerly winds blow in across the flat country in summer, and winter fronts bring gusty westerlies and squally rain. Roofs on higher streets catch the brunt of both. That constant wind pressure flexes ridge caps and works away at their bedding until the mortar cracks and the caps loosen.
The concrete tiles that cover most local homes were finished with a surface coat when they were new, but that coat does not last forever. After four decades of strong sun, most of it has gone. Bare concrete tiles absorb water, darken, grow lichen and become more prone to cracking. The steel valleys and flashings from that era are also nearing the end of their life. None of this is unusual for homes of this age, but left alone it leads to leaks, damaged ceilings and wet insulation.
Concrete tile roofs from the 1980s tend to fail in predictable ways, which means repairs are usually straightforward if they are done properly. Our common Meadow Heights jobs:
From Cairnlea, it does not take us long to get up to Meadow Heights. Once there, we head up the ladder and work over the condition of the tiles and their coating, every ridge and hip, valleys, flashings and gutters. If a ceiling is already marked, we check the space above it. We photograph whatever needs attention, chat through it in everyday language and send an itemised price. It is free, and you can simply file the quote if now is not the right time.
A forty-year-old concrete tile roof can often be brought back rather than replaced, but only once repairs alone stop making sense. If the coating has gone right across the roof, ridges are loose on every side and water is getting in at two or three spots, restoration is the better value.
We jet-wash the roof clean, replace broken tiles, rebuild the ridges on fresh bedding with flexible pointing, and renew valleys and flashings. Sealer, primer and a pair of colour coats complete it. On a street of similar brick veneers, a restored roof can lift the look of your home considerably, and it costs much less than new tiles. More on roof restoration in Meadow Heights.
