Not sure this is the service your roof needs?
We inspect first and tell you straight: repair, restore or replace.
Why do roofs leak?
Nine times out of ten it's one of: cracked or slipped tiles, failed ridge-capping mortar, rusted valley irons, or flashing that's lifted or was never installed correctly. Water travels along timbers before it shows on your ceiling, so the stain is rarely under the fault. We inspect the whole roof, find the actual entry point, and fix that, not just the symptom.
Storm damage and insurance claims
Central Coast storm cells are brutal on roofs: lifted sheets, smashed tiles, capping torn loose. After big weather we prioritise make-safe work (tarps and temporary seals) so damage stops getting worse, then provide the photo documentation and itemised quotes insurers ask for. We've worked alongside assessors after every major Coast storm event in recent years; the paperwork side of a roofing claim holds no surprises for us.
- Call early, as make-safe slots fill fast after big storms
- Photograph ceiling damage when it appears (timestamps help claims)
- Don't accept a cash-settlement figure before a roofer has actually been on the roof
Repairs that respect your budget
Not every aging roof needs a restoration, and not every leak means disaster. If a $400 repair will genuinely sort your roof for years, that's what we'll recommend. If the repair is a band-aid on a roof that needs more, we'll show you the photos and explain your options (repair, restore or replace) with real numbers for each.
DIY or call us? An honest line
We're happy for homeowners to do what's safely doable, and clear about where the line sits:
- Fine to DIY: clearing gutters you can reach safely, ground-level visual checks, photographing problems for us
- Call a professional: anything that means standing on the roof. Tiles crack underfoot in the wrong spots, falls are the trade's biggest killer, and a misdiagnosed leak just moves the water somewhere worse
- Always call: leaks (the visible drip is rarely the entry point), capping mortar, flashing work, and anything electrical near solar
What do common roof repairs cost?
Indicative ranges only. Every job is quoted in writing after a free inspection, and many repairs come in at the lower end:
| Repair | Typical range |
|---|---|
| Replace broken/slipped tiles | $250 to $450 |
| Repoint a ridge-capping section | $300 to $600 |
| Leak detection + repair | $300 to $900 |
| Flashing repair or replacement | $350 to $800 |
| Valley iron replacement | $600 to $1,500 |
The seasonal check that prevents most repairs
Most of the repairs we do were preventable a season earlier. This is the simple rhythm we recommend for Central Coast homes:
| When | What to check | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Autumn | Gutters, valleys, downpipes | Leaf fall blocks water paths before winter rain arrives |
| Before storm season | Ridge capping, flashings, aerial mounts | Wind finds whatever was already loose |
| After winter | Southern roof faces | Moss and lichen establish in the damp months |
| Summer | Fastener seals, exposed pointing | UV is what ages the small stuff fastest |
How the work is done
How we find a leak (when others can't)
Chasing leaks is a discipline. Ours runs the same way every time:
- 01
Map the Symptom
Where does it show inside, and in what weather? East-wind rain leaks differently to vertical rain.
- 02
Walk the Roof
Full surface check above and uphill of the stain: tiles, capping, penetrations.
- 03
Trace the Water Path
Water runs along battens and rafters; we follow it back to the true entry point.
- 04
Check Flashings & Valleys
The two most common culprits on Coast homes get special attention.
- 05
Fix & Prove It
Repair the cause, photograph it, and explain what we found in plain English.

Questions before you enquire
Roof Repairs questions
Straight answers to what homeowners ask us most about roof repairs.
How quickly can you fix a leaking roof?
We prioritise active leaks, usually with an inspection within days, with temporary make-safe immediately if weather demands it.
Do you repair both tile and metal roofs?
Yes. Concrete tile, terracotta and all metal roofing including Colorbond, steel and older corrugated iron.
Will you tell me if my roof needs more than a repair?
Yes, with photos and a straight explanation. We'll never sell you a repair that won't last, or a replacement you don't need.
My roof only leaks in heavy easterly rain. Why?
Wind driven rain finds paths vertical rain never touches: usually aged flashings, pointing gaps or laps facing the weather. It's the most common 'mystery leak' on the Coast, and very findable with a methodical inspection.
Can a small leak wait a few months?
We don't recommend it. Water rots battens, stains plaster and grows mould long before it drips visibly. Small leaks are cheap; the damage they cause isn't.
Do you do insurance reports for storm damage?
Yes. Photo documentation and itemised quotes in the format insurers need, plus make-safe work immediately after the event.
Why did a previous repair by another company fail?
Usually because the symptom was fixed instead of the cause: sealant over a crack while the real entry point was an aged flashing two metres uphill. Finding the actual cause is the job; the repair itself is the easy part.
Do you guarantee your repairs?
Yes. Repairs are backed by our workmanship guarantee, and we put what was done (with photos) in writing so you know exactly what's covered.
