Rain, mist, falling bark and endless leaf litter: a Selby roof copes with all of it, year after year. We travel to Selby to stop leaks, replace cracked tiles, rebuild worn ridges and, when the time is right, restore the entire roof.
No Fees. No Obligation. Open 7 Days a Week.
Living in Selby means tall trees, cool mornings and plenty of rain. It also means your roof works harder than one on the suburban flats. Leaves and bark collect in valleys and gutters, moss loves the shaded slopes, and the damp hangs around long after a shower has passed.
When something starts to go wrong, you want someone who will give you an honest assessment instead of a sales pitch. We are based in Cairnlea and make the trip up to Selby and the surrounding hills towns for repair and restoration work. After a proper climb around the roof and a camera full of photos, we can say whether a few targeted repairs will carry you through the next run of winters or whether the roof has earned a complete restoration. Either way you get the details in writing before anything happens.

The Dandenongs get noticeably more rain than most of Melbourne, and Selby is no exception. Mountain ash, gums and exotic garden trees all shed onto roofs, and in a wet climate that debris does not dry out and blow away. It sits in the valleys and gutters, rots down into a sludge, and dams water back under the tiles.
Shade from the canopy keeps many roof faces damp for days at a time. Moss and lichen thrive in those conditions, gradually breaking down the surface of concrete tiles and trapping moisture against terracotta. Wood heaters are common in the hills too, and the flashings around their flues are a frequent leak point once the sealant ages. Add the occasional storm that brings down branches, and it is easy to see why hills roofs need a closer eye than most.
Hills roofs have their own repair patterns. These are the jobs we take on most often:
Each fix is photographed so you have a record, which comes in handy if you ever sell.
Once we are up there, we check every tile face, ridge and hip, along with valleys, flashings, flues, skylights and gutters. We also look at how much moss and debris is building up, because in the hills that tells us a lot about where leaks will start next.
Every problem is photographed. We then explain it all without jargon, mark what is urgent and what can wait, and send you a written quote. Selby is a fair drive for us, but the inspection still costs you nothing, and nobody will ring you to chase a decision.
Repairs are perfect for a roof with a couple of problem spots. But if moss has broken down the tile surface across the whole roof, most ridge lines have cracked pointing and there are several damp spots inside, a full restoration will usually give you better value than repeated call-outs.
Our high-pressure wash comes first, clearing the moss and grime, then replace any broken tiles and rebuild the ridges with fresh bedding and flexible pointing. Valleys and flashings are made watertight, after which the coating layers go on, finishing in a shade that sits comfortably among the trees. Compared with tearing the roof off and starting again, the spend is modest, and the result is a roof that sheds hills rain properly again.
There is a full explanation on our roof restoration services page.
Hills properties often come with steep driveways, narrow tracks and big trees overhanging the roof, so we ask about access when you call and plan the setup around it. We also time pressure cleaning and coating around the weather, because there is no point coating a roof that will not dry.
