What we do in Birmingham Gardens
Pressure clean, re-bed and re-point the ridge capping, replace broken tiles, then a coating system. Typically buys another 10 to 15 years out of a sound tile roof.
Learn moreSlipped and cracked tiles, failed pointing, rusted valley irons and flashing. We find what is actually causing the problem rather than patching the wet patch.
Learn moreWhen the battens or sarking have gone, a coating will not save it. We strip the old roof and re-sheet, usually to Colorbond steel.
Learn moreColorbond steel roofing, supplied and installed. Lighter than tile, quick to install, and it holds up well to the salt air along the coast.
Learn moreRoof plumbing is its own licensed trade: metal roofing, guttering, downpipes, flashing and box gutters. If water is meant to move, this is the work that moves it.
Learn moreA stain on the ceiling or a drip during last night's rain. Call us and we will come and look at it, find where the water is actually getting in, and make it safe.

Common questions about roof repairs in Birmingham Gardens
My roof is the same as every other house in the street. Does that help?
For roof repairs in Birmingham Gardens, the assessment includes changes after equipment was installed and the location of internal staining when deciding which roof components need checking.
Is it worth re-bedding or should I just replace the roof?
Both the support along the affected ridge and the condition of the mortar beneath the caps need consideration before defining the ridge repair.
How do I know if my eaves are fibro?
Do not cut or disturb unknown sheets to identify them; we assess the limits of visual identification alongside the safe handling requirements before planning work near suspected asbestos.
