When your roof’s past its prime, patching no longer cuts it. Our roof replacement service strips the old surface and fits a new one designed for Melbourne’s unpredictable climate — from scorching summers to soaking winter rains. We install:
The result? A better-looking, longer-lasting roof that performs and protects.
If your roof still stands strong but looks the worse for wear, a roof restoration is your best move. We deep clean, reseal, repaint, and re-bed where needed, adding fresh strength and colour that elevates both protection and presentation.
Perfect for homeowners prepping to sell, or simply wanting their roof to work and look like new again.
We install seamless, rust-resistant gutters that match your property’s style and drainage needs. From a full upgrade to a simple downpipe extension, we ensure proper fall and watertight joins every time.
Clogged gutters are a silent threat. We remove leaves, silt, and debris, check for corrosion or sagging, and keep stormwater flowing where it should — away from your home’s base.
Stop the cycle of seasonal gutter clearing. We fit gutter guard systems — including bushfire-rated mesh — that block out leaves and pests while keeping water moving freely.

Melbourne storms can hit fast and hard. We provide emergency roof repairs to secure your home when it’s at its most vulnerable. From tarping to sealing and temporary repairs, our crew responds quickly — day or night.
We’ll return to carry out permanent fixes once conditions settle. You're never left in the dark (or rain).
Regular roof checks help avoid nasty surprises. Our roof inspections cover everything from loose tiles and flashing gaps to blocked valleys and moss buildup. We photograph findings, explain risks, and offer clear, no-pressure recommendations.
Annual maintenance? Smart. Especially in leafy suburbs or near the coast.
Not all leaks drip directly overhead. Many creep behind ceilings, bubble paint, or warp timber quietly over time. We use thermal tech and moisture sensors to detect and resolve hidden leaks at the source.
Common red flags include:
If something feels off — trust your gut. We’ll pinpoint the cause and fix it fast.
We don’t believe in band-aid fixes. We do it right, or not at all — and we explain every step so you stay in control.
What sets us apart:
We’re locals, too. We know what Melbourne roofs deal with — and how to keep them standing strong.

How do I choose between Colorbond and tile roofing?
It depends on your home’s structure, the pitch of your roof, and your aesthetic preference. Colorbond is lightweight, fast to install, and great for water runoff. Tiles offer superior acoustic and thermal insulation but are heavier and may require stronger roof framing. We assess what’s best for your setup and talk you through the pros and cons.
What roofing options are best for energy efficiency in Melbourne?
Insulated metal roofing systems, light-coloured Colorbond, and ventilated roof spaces can all contribute to lower cooling costs. Tiled roofs paired with sarking or roof blankets also perform well. If your goal is temperature control, we’ll design a system that suits both your climate and your home’s orientation.
Can I stay in my home during a roof replacement?
Yes, in most cases, you can stay home while we work. For tile or Colorbond roof replacements, noise and access are temporary inconveniences, but we ensure safety and minimise disruption wherever possible. We’ll let you know if any sections need to be vacated during critical stages.

What’s included in a full roofing inspection?
Our inspections include:
This is ideal for pre-sale prep, storm season readiness, or routine peace of mind.
Are your roofing materials compliant with Australian Standards?
Absolutely. Every roofing product we install, from underlay to tiles and steel sheeting, meets or exceeds the Australian Standards (AS/NZS) for strength, fire resistance, and weather durability. We also follow roof safety compliance protocols on every job.
Do you offer roof waterproofing services?
Yes. We provide roof waterproofing solutions for flat roofs, balconies, tiled areas, and parapet flashings. This includes membrane application, re-sealing, and waterproof barrier integration beneath finishes. It’s a smart option for older roofs or properties with chronic leak issues.
How long does a roof restoration take?
Most roof restorations take between 2–4 days depending on size and condition. This includes:
We schedule weather-permitting and work efficiently to avoid delays.
How often should gutters be replaced in Melbourne?
In Melbourne’s leafy suburbs, gutters often corrode faster due to moisture retention. If your gutters are over 20 years old, show rust or sagging, or overflow regularly, it's time to consider a replacement. We’ll assess during any service call and give honest advice — no upselling.
Do you install roof ventilation systems?
Yes, we install passive and mechanical roof ventilation, including whirlybirds, solar vents, and ridge venting systems. These are especially useful in Melbourne’s fluctuating seasons where internal heat buildup can strain cooling systems and damage insulation.
Can you work with builders or other trades on new roofing projects?
We frequently collaborate with builders, architects, and renovation teams. If you’re planning an extension, new build, or re-roof as part of a broader project, we can align timelines, supply documentation, and coordinate efficiently with other trades on-site.
