Twenty one services and how to work out which you need

Most roof problems are one component rather than the whole roof and the single most useful thing we can tell you is which. A leak in wind-driven rain points at the ridge line or a flashing. A steady drip in ordinary rain points at a valley. Damp on a still humid morning with no rain at all is usually condensation rather than a leak and the fix is ventilation.

If you are not sure, an inspection costs nothing and includes the roof space, which is where the expensive findings live.

The three that get confused most

Repair is targeted work on a specific fault on a roof that is otherwise sound. One valley, one flashing, a handful of tiles.

Restoration renews the surface of a structurally sound roof: treat and clean, replace broken tiles, re-bed and point the capping, then seal and coat. It suits a roof whose tiles are fine and whose finish has gone, which describes an enormous share of Perth housing.

Replacement addresses failed structure rather than a failed surface. It is warranted far less often than it is recommended and the test is what the battens are doing rather than what the roof looks like from the street.

There is also a fourth option most quotes omit. Where the tiles are sound and the timber is not, lifting, re-battening, sarking and relaying your existing tiles delivers a renewed roof without buying new covering.

Reading your own roof from the ground

You can tell more than you would expect without a ladder. Grey grit and mortar crumbs in the gutter are perished pointing and that is the earliest warning available that the ridge line will admit wind driven rain.

Sight along each ridge and hip. They should read as straight lines and caps sitting proud or dipping mean the mortar bed underneath has broken up rather than just the pointing on top.

Watch the roof dry after a shower. Areas that stay dark for hours are holding water, which means the surface has become porous and sealing is due within a year or two.

Look at the fascia behind the gutter for staining, blistered paint or sag. That points at water running where it should not have been for some time.

Emergency and insurance work

Storm damage, active leaks and impact events get attended on priority. The sequence is safety first, then a temporary cover to stop further loss, then documentation, then the permanent repair once conditions allow.

For insurance claims we photograph the original damage before anything is covered, provide a written assessment separating event damage from any pre-existing wear and deal with assessors directly where that helps. That separation is what gets a legitimate claim approved rather than argued over and overstating a claim risks the whole thing being declined.

Choosing between similar services

Roof cleaning or pressure cleaning? Roof cleaning treats the biology growing on the tiles, killing moss, lichen and algae so they do not regrow. Pressure cleaning describes the method and extends to driveways, paving, walls and patios. They overlap and they are not the same purchase.

Gutter cleaning or gutter replacement? Clearing removes debris. Repair addresses lost falls, perforation, failed brackets or fascia that will no longer hold them. Standing water an hour after rain stops is a fall problem and no amount of clearing changes it.

Roof plumbing or roof repairs? Plumbing covers the metalwork: flashings, valleys, box gutters, sumps and penetrations. Repairs covers the covering itself. Most leaks originate in the metalwork rather than the tiles.

Delignification treatment or roof carpentry? Treatment restores timber weakened by lignin loss. Carpentry replaces or rebuilds structural members that have failed outright.

What every job includes

An inspection before any price is given, including the roof space where a manhole allows. Photographs of what we found. A written itemised quote rather than a rate per square metre applied to a roof nobody has stood on.

Employed crews rather than subcontractors, so the person who quotes is generally the person standing on your roof. Surrounds protected, gutters flushed of whatever the work created and the site left clean.

A ten year workmanship warranty in writing and where a coating is involved, a Dulux manufacturer product warranty issued through our accreditation.
