Most roofing decisions get made in a hurry, usually the morning after a storm with a bucket under the drip. We would rather you had the full picture first. So in Oaklands Park, the first thing we offer is a proper inspection, done on the roof, that costs you nothing.
The owner gets onto the tiles and checks every slope, not merely the patch above the stain. Every crack, gap and patch of rust gets photographed. Afterwards we talk you through the pictures in everyday language and sort the findings into two simple camps: things that need repairing, and signs that the roof as a whole is wearing out. From there you will know whether a few fixes are enough or whether restoration is the better long-term move, and you will have it in writing.

Every tiled roof follows a similar ageing curve, whatever the suburb. For the first fifteen or twenty years, things are fine. After that, the surface of concrete tiles starts to wear, so they absorb more water and grow lichen. Ridge pointing shrinks, cracks and lets moisture into the bedding mortar, which slowly loosens the caps. Valleys and flashings collect debris and, if they are galvanised steel, begin to corrode.
Melbourne weather speeds all of this up. Hot northerly days followed by a cool change make tiles and mortar expand and contract sharply. Heavy winter rain tests every joint. Summer hailstorms can crack tiles in minutes. Rather than guess which of these is affecting your Oaklands Park home, we look, photograph and tell you. Often a few targeted repairs at the right time stop a small problem from becoming a ceiling replacement.
Once we know what is wrong, the fix is usually straightforward. These are the repairs that most often appear on our Oaklands Park quotes:
Here is exactly what happens. We set up safely, get onto the roof and work methodically from one end to the other: tile surfaces, ridges, bedding and pointing, valleys, flashings, penetrations like flues and skylights, then the gutters. Each issue is photographed, close up and in context, so you know where on the roof it is.
Back down, we go through it with you, answer questions and leave you with a written quote listing each item. That paperwork is yours to keep, compare or sit on for a while. There is no charge and no hard sell.
The inspection sometimes shows a roof that is tired everywhere rather than broken in one spot. Widespread lichen, tiles that have lost their surface, cracked pointing on most ridges and several leak points all suggest that restoring the roof will be better value than paying for repairs in instalments.
A restoration covers the whole roof in one planned job. The tiles are pressure washed back to a clean base. Broken ones are replaced. Ridges get new bedding where needed and fresh flexible pointing throughout. Valleys and flashings are put right. Finally, the tiles receive sealer, primer and a colour coat that you choose from a range. The outcome looks like a new roof and performs like one, for a fraction of replacement cost.
