Roof restoration in Sydney

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.

Replacing broken and slipped tiles, re-bedding the ridge and hip capping, flexible re-pointing, replacing rusted valley irons, and treating moss and lichen. We look at the roof first and quote for what it actually needs, so you don't pay for a full roof restoration when a repair will do.

A roof restoration repairs an ageing but sound roof instead of replacing it. On tile, that means new tiles where they're broken, re-bedded and re-pointed ridges, new valley irons and moss treatment. On metal, it means replacing rusted sheets, re-screwing and repairing the flashings.

Restore when the tiles or sheets are sound and it's what holds them on that has failed: mortar, valleys, flashings or screws. Replace when tiles are cracking across whole sections, rust has spread across the sheeting, or repairs keep chasing each other around the roof.

Often, yes. If the rust is limited to a few sheets, the laps or the fixings, we replace those sheets, re-screw with new fixings and repair the flashings, and the rest of the roof carries on. If rust has spread across the whole roof, replacement is the better spend.

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.
