Tottenham is a small pocket of homes wedged between the rail line, factories and warehouses, with West Footscray, Braybrook and Sunshine on its borders. The houses here are mostly older, post-war weatherboards and brick homes with tiled roofs, and they have spent decades sitting among trucks, freight trains and industrial dust. That takes a toll you cannot always see from the ground.
Our yard in Cairnlea is barely ten minutes up the road, so getting to a Tottenham roof is easy. Our owner looks it over, snaps photos of anything suspect and tells you plainly what the house needs. A few repairs if that will do the job. A full restoration only if the roof is worn beyond patching. No upsell and no confusing jargon.

Living close to industry means a fine layer of dust settles on everything, including your roof. On tiles, that grime holds moisture and gives lichen a foothold. In valleys and gutters it builds into a sludge that slows water down, and in a heavy downpour the water has nowhere to go but back under the tiles. Combine that with metal valleys and flashings that may be decades old, and corrosion sets in faster than you might expect.
Age is the other factor. Many Tottenham roofs still have their original ridge bedding, which cracks and crumbles as it gets older. Westerly winds across the open west and the vibration from heavy vehicles and trains do not help. The result is loose ridge caps, slipped tiles and small leaks that slowly stain ceilings and rot timber if nobody catches them.
A typical Tottenham job involves one or more of the following:
Because we are close by, we can usually fit in an inspection without a long wait.
Being so close, we can usually duck over quickly. We go over every part of the roof, from the gutters up to the ridges and through the valleys and flashings in between, and we check the ceiling cavity when water is coming in. Each issue gets photographed so you can see it without climbing a ladder.
We then sit down with you, walk through the pictures in everyday language and leave a written quote limited to the work the roof genuinely calls for. There is no fee and no pressure to sign on the spot.
If the grime has eaten into the tile surface, pointing has failed along most ridges and several valleys are rusting, repairs alone will not last. At that stage our advice is to restore the lot.
It starts with a deep pressure clean to strip away industrial dust, lichen and loose material, so everything that follows bonds properly. Cracked tiles get changed, ridges are rebedded and repointed, tired valleys and flashings are renewed, and a three-coat system of sealer, primer and colour goes over the top. Your roof is weathertight again and looks presentable from the street, for a sum well below what new tiles would run to.

With 25+ years in the trade and an owner who is on every job, we run things the old-fashioned way: turn up, do it right, clean up and stand behind the work.
Our licence and insurance cover every Tottenham job, and the workmanship is quality-assured. Yards, paths and driveways are protected while we are up top, and the place is left tidy. Every quote comes in writing, laid out so it is easy to follow, and it never includes work you do not need.
Small homes in tight streets need a bit of thought too. We keep ladders, materials and the skip clear of your neighbours’ driveways and keep the noise to sensible hours.
