Roof Looking Tired Rather Than Leaking?
Grey mortar in the gutters and on the driveway. A ridge cap sitting at a different angle to the ones beside it. Faded tiles with hairline cracks. Daylight in the roof cavity where there should not be any.
Bedding mortar under ridge capping dries out and cracks, the pointing goes powdery, and the caps start to move. On metal roofs the fasteners go first, with rust creeping from screw heads and perished washers. Valley irons corrode under leaf litter.
None of it announces itself. It degrades until one decent storm pushes the roof past the point where it can shed water, and then you are dealing with a roof leak and a wet ceiling instead of a planned half-day of work.

On tiled roofs the bread and butter is re-bedding and re-pointing. We lift the ridge caps, remove the old cracked mortar, re-bed the caps so they sit true, then point with a flexible compound that moves with the roof instead of cracking again.
Broken and slipped tiles get swapped at the same time, and we bring matching tiles where we can. On metal roofs we replace rusted sheets, renew screws and washers, replace corroded valley irons, and refit flashings around chimneys, vents and skylights.
Storm damage is its own job: lifted sheets and torn flashing need making watertight the same day, then a proper repair once the weather clears. It all sits under our roof plumbing work, alongside the gutters and downpipes.

We initially thought this was just a simple blockage that we could fix ourselves, but the team at Elite Plumbing quickly showed us it was more than that. They took the time to properly investigate the issue, explained everything clearly, and walked us through what needed to be done without overcomplicating things. You could tell straight away they really knew what they were doing. What stood out the most was how easy they were to deal with, communication was smooth, they were responsive, and always followed up. No chasing, no confusion, just clear and honest updates. It's not often you come across a team that is both professional and genuinely easy to work with. Really appreciate their help and would highly recommend Elite Plumbing to anyone

Incredible and reliable service! I had an emergency situation with a blocked drain and overflowing sewage in my garden late afternoon on a 43 degree day. I found Kurt's details online, he arrived with all of his equipment within 30 minutes. Worked tirelessly in intense heat to identify the issue (which was actually impacting my neighbours house too, they didn't know because they were away!). Kurt made contact with relevant water and council services and used his years of training and experience to resolve the issue. Friendly, professional, no-nonsense service. 10/10 would recommend!

Straight answers about your roof
Roof work attracts a lot of door-knockers and scare tactics. We do it differently. Kurt inspects the roof himself, takes photos, and tells you what actually needs doing now and what can safely wait another year or two.
You get a fixed price for the scope you agree to, and the plumber who quoted it is the one who does the work up there. Nothing gets added halfway through without a conversation first.

Roof Repair FAQs
Bedding is the mortar bed under the ridge capping that holds the caps in place. Pointing is the flexible compound over the top that seals the joint. Re-pointing alone is fine if the bedding is still solid. If the caps have moved, re-bedding comes first.
Repair targets the components that have failed and is right for most roofs. Restoration is a full clean, re-bed, re-point and coat, which suits a roof that is sound but tired all over. Replacement is for roofs where the tiles or sheeting are past it.
Yes, and this is the cheapest time to do it. Cracked pointing, loose caps and rusting screws are all fixable in a planned visit. Left alone they eventually let water in, and then you are paying for roof work plus ceiling repairs, insulation and paint.
It comes down to the scope, the size and pitch of your roof, and access. We inspect first and quote a fixed price for the agreed work. If we find something extra once we are up there, we stop and talk to you first.
If water is actively entering the house, go straight to roof leak repairs or just call us. That is an urgent job and we run a 24-hour service for it. This page is about planned work on a roof that is aging rather than leaking.
We are based in Glenroy and service Melbourne-wide, with most of our roof work across the northern and north-western suburbs. Let us know your suburb when you call and we will confirm and book an inspection.
