Rosanna's mix of postwar weatherboards and solid brick family homes means roofs of very different ages sitting side by side. We service Rosanna with tile repairs, repointing and full roof painting, backed by more than 25 years on the job and a free quote.

Walk any street between Rosanna station and Lower Plenty Road and you will see the story of the suburb in its rooftops. There are 1940s and 1950s weatherboards with their original terracotta, brick homes from the decades after with concrete tiles, and the occasional newer build squeezed onto a subdivided block. Each type of roof ages in its own way, and each one tends to fail in its own spots.
We travel across from Cairnlea to look after Rosanna homes, and the first thing we do is get up on the roof with a camera. Then we tell you, in normal language, whether you are looking at a quick fix or a bigger job. Nobody likes being talked into work they do not need, and we would rather earn your trust with a fair call.

Many of Rosanna’s houses are now well past their sixtieth birthday, and the roofs above them have had a long, tough life. On the weatherboard homes, original terracotta tends to become brittle and crack in rows, especially where people have walked across it over the years. Chimneys built from old red brick often have tired flashings that let water down the inside of the stack.
The brick homes built a little later usually have concrete tiles, which wear differently. Their surface coating erodes, leaving the tile rough and thirsty, and moss gets a grip. Rosanna is also a properly leafy suburb, with large trees in many backyards and around the Rosanna Parklands, so valleys and gutters fill up fast. Water that cannot drain off the roof will look for another way in, and too often it finds one.
A good repair fixes the cause, not just the mark on the ceiling. Here is what we typically take care of:
Our owner climbs onto your roof and works through it section by section, from the gutters up to the ridges. Tiles, bedding, pointing, valleys, flashings and chimneys all get a close look, and where we can access the ceiling space we check for damp timber or stained plaster.
You will see the photos and hear what they mean. The written quote that follows puts urgent repairs first and lists anything that can wait, and the choice to go ahead is entirely yours.
When tiles across the whole roof are porous, the ridges are crumbling on every side and leaks keep turning up in new places, it is time to stop chasing faults one by one.
A full restoration brings the entire roof up to standard. After a thorough pressure wash we swap any broken tiles, rebed and repoint all the ridge lines and repair the valleys and flashings. The tiles are then sealed, primed and finished with a roof paint in a colour that suits your brick or weatherboard. You keep the roof you have, at a cost well below starting again.
If a full makeover sounds like what your home needs, our roof restoration services page explains how it works.
We know you are letting us onto the most important part of your house, and we treat it that way. If we would not be happy with a repair on our own home, it does not leave our hands.
Plenty of Rosanna homes have had a mix of roofers over the years, and it shows. Our aim is to be the last one you need for a long while.
