What we do in Rankin Park
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.

Common questions about roof repairs in Rankin Park
There are branches right over my roof. Will that stop you working?
For roof repairs in Rankin Park, branches may obstruct access or present a separate hazard. Their position needs assessing before deciding whether roof work can proceed around them.
Can I get a branch cut back so the roof can be done?
An appropriate tree professional should assess pruning and any permissions. Identify the clearance needed for roofing rather than assume every overhanging branch must be removed.
Why do my valleys block when my gutters seem fine?
Both the available overflow route and the condition of gutter supports need consideration before tracing the overflow.
