Leaks, cracked and broken tiles, ridge capping that has let go, rust on metal roofs, storm damage. We get up there, find what is actually causing it, and tell you what the fix takes before anyone touches the roof. Tile and Colorbond, homes and commercial buildings, 15+ years on Perth roofs.
A repair is only as good as the diagnosis behind it. Six steps, same order every time, and you know the number before we start.
No guessing from the driveway. Tiles, ridges, valleys, flashings and gutters all get looked at, because the wet patch on your ceiling is rarely directly under the fault. You get told what is wrong and what is fine.
Every repair is priced per job and written down before work starts. All costs and the scope on one page, so there is nothing to argue about later. If the roof is past patching, we say that instead of selling you repairs twice.
Cracked, chipped and missing tiles get pulled and replaced with tiles that match the profile, so the roof sheds water evenly and still looks like one roof when we leave.
Loose caps come up, get bedded back in fresh mortar and re-pointed with flexible pointing that moves with the roof instead of cracking again next summer. This is where most old tile roofs actually leak.
On metal and Colorbond the rust comes off and gets a rust inhibiting primer before anything is painted, never coated over. Corroded sheets are repainted or replaced, and flashings around penetrations and joints are fixed or renewed.
We check the finished work, clear the offcuts and leave the place as we found it. If something needs another look down the track you call the same team, not a call centre.
Most Perth roof problems are one of these eleven. If yours is on the list, it is a job we have done plenty of times before.
We trace the water back to where it is actually getting in, then seal or replace the failed section. Sealing a stain on the ceiling fixes nothing.
Replaced with sound tiles matched to your profile. Cracked tiles let water straight through to the timber underneath.
Loose ridge caps re-bedded in fresh mortar and re-pointed with a flexible compound for a watertight seal.
Faulty flashing around vents, joints and roof edges repaired or replaced, because that is where a lot of leaks start.
Rust removed, rust inhibiting primer applied, then repainted. Sheets too far gone get replaced rather than covered up.
Cleaned off the surface and treated so it does not come straight back. Growth holds water on the roof, and water is the problem.
Cleared out, holes and cracks repaired, and the drainage checked so rain leaves the roof instead of backing up under it.
The roof gets made safe and watertight first, then the full repair, including structural work where the storm has done that much.
The protective layer under the tiles repaired or replaced where water has been getting past it for years.
The metal tray running down the join between two roof planes. They rust out from the bottom up, and once one has gone the water is running straight into the roof space. Replaced rather than patched.
The timber or metal board the gutter hangs off. If it has gone soft the gutter has nothing to hold onto, so the fascia gets replaced before anything is re-hung.
Repairs get priced per job, because two cracked tiles and a leak that has been running for two winters are not the same job. The onsite look is free, the quote is written, and it lands before anyone starts. What we will not do is quote a patch on a roof that needs more than a patch.
Our written guarantee covers defects in our materials and workmanship for 15 years from the day the job is finished. Plain terms, on our warranty page.
We work right across the Perth metro, north and south of the river. These suburbs have a page of their own: Midland, Canning Vale, Applecross, Ascot, Baldivis, Joondalup, South Perth, Wanneroo. If yours is not listed we almost certainly still get there, so ask and we will tell you straight away.
"Mati and Ryan did a fantastic job and I can't believe how wonderful my roof looks! Tiles replaced, ridge capping repaired, painted and sealed, plus extra jobs done at the last minute!"
"Awesome job. Great at communications and really looks after his clients. Rare to find people who will do their job and provide proper support these days. Killi is definitely one of them."
"Mati and his team did a great job on my roof. He was so busy but promised he would have it done by Christmas and he did. So happy with his work. Would highly recommend this company."
Yes, both. Metal is a different job: rust gets removed and primed before anything is painted, fixings and flashings get checked, and sheets that are past saving get replaced rather than covered over. Tile work is about broken tiles, ridge bedding and pointing.
Yes. The first job is making the roof safe and watertight so nothing else gets into the house. Then we assess the full extent and carry out the repairs, including structural work where the storm has done that much damage.
Yes. We come out, get on the roof and give you a written quote with the costs and the scope set out. There is no charge for that and no obligation to book anything.
If the faults are isolated, a repair is the sensible money. If the coating has gone, the pointing has failed across the roof and you are replacing tiles every year, patch repairs just delay the real job. We will tell you which one you are looking at, and a full restoration on a typical three to four bedroom Perth home runs $4,000 to $9,000. The breakdown is in our cost guide.
Yes. We work on residential and commercial buildings across Perth, tile and metal both.
Get a bucket under it and move anything valuable out from underneath, then leave the roof alone. A wet roof is the easiest place in Perth to have a serious fall, and a tile that is already cracked will not hold you. Call us on 0477 690 257. We answer seven days, 7am to 6pm. The first job is always making the roof watertight so nothing more gets into the house, and we work out the proper repair after that.
By working backwards from where it shows up, because water almost never enters the roof directly above the stain on your ceiling. It runs along battens, rafters and sarking and drops at the first low point it finds, which can be metres from the entry. We check the things that actually let water in: flashings around vents and chimneys, valley trays, cracked tiles, failed pointing and roof penetrations. We confirm the source before quoting, because sealing the stain fixes nothing.
It is the metal channel running down the join where two roof slopes meet, and it carries more water than any other part of the roof. That is why valleys rust out long before the tiles around them wear out, particularly the older galvanised ones. The signs are rust or pinholes in the metal, leaf litter and debris packed into the channel, and staining in the ceiling directly under the join. Replacing one means lifting the tiles down both sides of the valley and re-bedding them afterwards, so it is worth doing properly rather than patching.
Tell us what the roof is doing and we will come out, get up there and give you the real answer, in writing. If it only needs a small fix, that is what you will be quoted.
