Mitcham is one of those leafy eastern suburbs where big gums and established gardens are part of the appeal. Away from Whitehorse Road and the shops near Mitcham station, the streets are full of 1950s to 1970s homes, many with their original tiled roofs and a few with newer extensions tacked on. That mix of age, trees and renovations is exactly what keeps roof repairers busy.
We make the trip out to Mitcham from Cairnlea, and step one on any job is working out where you really stand. Is the leak in your back room a one-off that a new tile will cure? Or is the roof as a whole getting near the end of its useful coating? We go up, check it, photograph it and explain it. Then the decision is yours, with a written price limited to what your Mitcham roof actually needs.

In Mitcham, trees are the main culprit. Gums and other mature species drop leaves and twigs into valleys and gutters all year round. When those channels clog, heavy rain has nowhere to go but sideways, under the edges of tiles and over the back of the gutter into the eaves. Overhanging branches also keep parts of the roof in permanent shade, so moss settles in and slowly breaks down the pointing and the tile surface.
Then there is age. Roofs from the post-war boom and the 1960s often still have their original ridge bedding, which turns crumbly after fifty-plus years. Concrete tiles from that era will have lost their protective finish long ago. Add the occasional summer storm with hail or strong gusts, and the weak spots give way. Leaks usually start small and slow, so by the time you notice a stain the timber and plaster may already be affected.
Our repair work is about solving the actual problem. Here is what we look after for Mitcham homeowners:
Each stage is photographed, which is handy if you are at work in the city while we are up there.
Booking an inspection gets you a proper on-roof assessment, not a driveway estimate. We go over tiles, cappings, valleys, flashings and gutters, and where there are leak signs we look at the roof space as well. Photos are taken throughout. Afterwards we walk you through what we found in plain English and provide a written quote listing the work that is needed. It is free and you are not obliged to proceed.
Sometimes the most sensible answer is to deal with the whole roof at once. If leaks are turning up in different places, most of the ridges need work and the tiles have turned porous, a complete restoration with a fresh paint finish gives far better value than ongoing patch-ups.
A jet-wash takes the roof back to bare, sound tile, broken pieces are swapped, rebed and repoint all the ridges and fix valleys and flashings. Then we apply a sealer and primer, followed by coloured topcoats in the shade you choose. The roof looks renewed from the street and, more importantly, keeps the weather out for years to come, at a fraction of the cost of new roofing. See our roof restoration services for more.
We are owner-led: the owner, a roofer for 25-plus years, works on site at every Mitcham job, so the standard you were promised at quote time is the one you get.
