After 25-plus years up ladders we have learned that most leaky Scoresby roofs are worth saving. We find and fix leaks across Scoresby, repoint loose ridges, replace broken tiles and repaint faded roofs, with every recommendation laid out in a written quote.

Much of Scoresby’s housing went up in the 1970s and 1980s, in quiet streets tucked between Stud Road, Ferntree Gully Road and the EastLink corridor. Those brick-veneer homes mostly wear concrete or terracotta tiles that are now well into their forties, which is about the age when pointing gives out, coatings wear thin and the first leaks start to appear.
If that sounds like your place, a proper inspection is the logical first step. We service Scoresby regularly and will check the roof tile by tile, snap photos of anything worth worrying about and explain it in everyday words. From there you get a written quote. Sometimes it is a short list of repairs. Sometimes the honest answer is that a full restoration will save you money over the next decade. Either way, nothing is hidden and nothing is padded.

With the Dandenongs looming just to the east, and the weather that rolls off the hills can be wetter and cooler than in the inner suburbs. Rain often arrives with wind behind it, which drives water up under tiles that are slightly out of place and into any gap at the ridge. Over a few winters, that is enough to soften old mortar and stain the timber battens underneath.
The other factor is simple age. A concrete tile roof from the late 1970s has usually lost most of its original surface by now. Without that skin, tiles absorb water, grow lichen and become heavier and more brittle. Terracotta outlives concrete, yet the mortar holding its ridges does not. Many homes also have established gardens with tall trees that feed leaves into the gutters. Each of these issues is minor on its own; together they lead to the leaks and stains that prompt most calls we get from Scoresby.
The aim is a repair that stays fixed. We look for the cause first, then choose the right method and materials.
We send photos of the problem and the completed repair so you can see where your money went.
We arrange a time that suits you, get on the roof and work over it section by section. Every tile run, cap, valley, flashing and gutter gets looked at, and we look inside the roof space if there are signs of a leak. Everything worth noting is photographed. Afterwards we go through the pictures with you, say what we would do and why, and send the price in writing. You pay nothing for the visit and can take as long as you like to decide.
If your roof is leaking in more than one place, the ridges are failing end to end and the tiles are porous and stained, individual repairs only delay the inevitable. A restoration fixes the whole roof in one coordinated job.
We begin with a high-pressure clean that removes years of grime, moss and loose coating. We then replace broken tiles, rebuild the ridge lines on new mortar, renew any tired valleys or flashings, and finish with sealer, primer and two coats in a colour from the range. The outcome is a roof that keeps water out and looks sharp from the street, at a fraction of the outlay of re-roofing. Learn more about our roof restoration services.
