Leak tracing, tile replacement, ridge capping and repointing. We find where the water is actually getting in rather than patching where the stain appears.
Fixed price in writing before we book. Photos when we finish. $20M public liability and working-at-heights certification on every job.
Leak tracing to find the real entry point, not just the stain
Cracked and slipped tile replacement
Ridge capping re-bedded and repointed
Flashing checked around penetrations and valleys
Photos of the fault and of the completed repair
Water enters at one point, runs along a batten or a rafter, and drops somewhere else entirely. That is why patching directly above a ceiling stain so often fails — the patch is nowhere near the entry point. Tracing means getting into the roof space and following the path backwards, and it is the difference between a repair that holds and one that reappears at the next downpour.
The mortar bedding under ridge capping is the part of a tiled roof with the shortest life. Sydney's heat cycling cracks it, the cracks let water in, and the capping starts to move. Re-bedding and repointing is routine maintenance on a roof of a certain age rather than a sign something has gone badly wrong, and it is far cheaper done before a cap actually lifts.
We are on your roof anyway, and most of what we find gets found during a clean: the cracked tile you cannot see from the ground, the ridge mortar that is crumbling into the gutter, the flashing that has pulled away from the chimney. Being able to quote and fix it without organising a separate trade is the practical advantage of having one crew handle everything above the gutter line.
Repairs are quoted after we have seen the fault, because guessing at a price for a leak nobody has traced yet helps neither of us. Tracing and a written quote come first, and the quote is fixed before any work starts.
Get your priceThese are the suburbs we're in most often. If yours isn't listed, ask anyway — we almost certainly get there.
Usually, yes. Intermittent leaks are traced from inside the roof space by following the water path back to the entry point, and where that is inconclusive we can flood-test sections of the roof to reproduce it.
No. We handle repairs, re-bedding, repointing and restoration. If a roof is genuinely past repair we will tell you that rather than sell you a restoration that will not hold.
Not an emergency, but do not leave it a year. Once the mortar has cracked, water is getting under the capping every time it rains, and the repair gets more expensive once a cap starts to move.
One crew handles everything above the gutter line, so combining jobs in a single visit is usually cheaper than booking them separately.
Overflowing gutters rot fascias, flood ceilings and void insurance claims. A clean costs a fraction of the repair — and we can usually be there this week.
One quick form. A real person calls you back.
