Roof & gutter repairs in Leichhardt

Honestly, it depends, and anyone who quotes you a firm price over the phone is guessing. Four things move the number: how much of the roof is affected, what it's made of, how hard it is to get to, and whether the frame underneath has been damaged by the water. A couple of slipped tiles on a single-storey bungalow is a very different job to a leak that's been running into a rafter for two winters. What we can promise is that we look first, tell you what we find, and quote a fixed price before we start. The inspection and the quote are free.

Yes and no, in that order. We'll come out, get on the roof, and give you a written quote at no cost. There's no obligation to go ahead, and we won't chase you.

Yes. Not an answering service. The phone gets answered. If water is coming through your ceiling at 2am, that's exactly when you need a roofer, and we'll get someone out to make it safe. The permanent repair happens once the weather clears and we can see properly.

That's the normal case, not the odd one. Water almost never comes through directly above the stain. It enters somewhere higher up, runs along a batten, a rafter or the sarking, and drops at the first low point it reaches. That can easily be several metres from the actual hole. It's why patching the obvious spot so often fails, and why we trace the entry point properly before quoting anything.

If the tiles themselves are sound and it's the bedding and pointing that have failed, repair. That's the common case, and it's far cheaper. Replacement makes sense when tiles are widely cracked or delaminating, when the roof has been patched repeatedly in different spots, or when the frame is struggling under the weight. We'll tell you which one you're looking at, including when the answer is the cheaper one.

Yes, both. A good deal of our work is converted warehouses, large-span metal roofs and box gutters around Alexandria, Marrickville and St Peters, plus strata buildings across the Inner West and the CBD. We're used to working with strata managers and around tenants.

Yes, fully licensed and insured, for both domestic and commercial work.

The Inner West is home. Our yard is in Rosebery, so most Inner West jobs are a short drive. We also work across the Sydney CBD and out through Parramatta and Auburn. If you're not sure whether you're in range, call and ask; the answer is usually yes.
