A new roof should not leak, but on fast-growing estates small defects slip through more often than you would think. We fix early leaks, repoint cracked ridges and recoat tiles on Mickleham homes, backed by over two decades of roofing know-how.

Mickleham has changed enormously in a short time. Paddocks along Mickleham Road have become estates full of young families, and most of the homes there are less than fifteen years old. You would expect those roofs to be trouble-free, and many are. But we regularly get calls from Mickleham owners with a stain on the ceiling, pointing cracking along the ridge or a few tiles that have shifted.
Builds that go up quickly can leave small faults: a flashing not quite sealed, a valley a little short, pointing applied on a hot day that never cured properly. We drive up from Cairnlea, check the roof with our owner on site, and fix the actual cause. If your roof is older or more worn, we will also talk you through whether a restoration is worth it.

Mickleham sits on open, flat land on Melbourne’s northern edge, with very few tall trees to break the wind. Strong northerlies in summer and blustery westerlies in winter put plenty of pressure on roof tiles and ridge caps, especially on two-storey homes that catch the full force.
None of these are reasons to panic. Most early problems on a Mickleham home are minor and cheap to sort, provided they are dealt with before water soaks the plaster and insulation underneath.
You will get before and after photos, useful evidence if you need to raise the problem with whoever built the house.
On a young home, the faults we find are usually small and specific, so we look closely. That means checking that tiles are seated and clipped, that ridge pointing has bonded, that flashings are sealed where the roof meets walls, and that valleys are long enough and draining. Where we can reach the roof space, we look for any early water marks.
Everything is photographed, which is handy if you need to raise something with your builder. You get a written quote showing what needs fixing and what is fine, and you are not committed to anything.
Even newer roofs eventually lose their surface coating. Concrete tiles fade under the northern sun, start to grow lichen and become more porous, and some Mickleham owners simply want a different colour to suit a renovation. Once the wear is widespread, a full restoration is better value than repeated small repairs.
The process is a thorough wash, replacement of any cracked tiles, rebedding and pointing on the ridges where they need it, and checks on valleys and flashings. Over the top go a sealer, primer and UV-tough colour coats. It looks close to new and costs a small fraction of new tiles.
You can read how it all works on our roof restoration services page.
Ultra Finish is owner-run. The owner, roofing for more than two decades, stays on site at each Mickleham job, keeping the standard consistent and giving you a single contact from start to finish. Having one person across the whole job also makes it easier if you later need to show a builder what was found.
Our licence and insurance are current, workmanship is quality-assured, and each quote is written with nothing unnecessary added. We lay drop sheets over new lawns and garden beds, keep the driveway free for your cars and carry every off-cut away.
