Got A Roof Leak Or Overflowing Gutters?

If you have a wet ceiling, water coming in through the roof, or gutters that overflow every time it rains, we can come out, take a look at what is causing it, and give you the best way to keep the house dry.

We repair and replace gutters and downpipes, clear them out, carry out roof repairs, and trace roof leaks back to the source so we find where the water is actually getting in and fix it properly.

Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

It comes down to how many metres are being replaced, the height and access, and whether the fascia behind it is sound. A single run at the back of a single storey home is a very different job to a full replacement on a two storey. We will measure it up and price it.
Not always. Overflowing is often blockage, the wrong fall, or downpipes that are undersized for the roof area feeding them. Replacement is the answer once the gutter itself is rusted or has dropped off its brackets.
Rarely directly above the stain. Water gets in at one point, runs along a batten or a rafter, and drops where it finds a gap. Finding the entry point is the part that matters, because patching the ceiling side does nothing.
Yes, we clear gutters and downpipes. It is worth doing before winter, and particularly on homes with trees close to the roofline, because a full gutter holds water against the fascia and rusts it out from behind.
Into the stormwater system, which is where a lot of roof problems really sit. If the pit or the line beyond it is blocked, the downpipe backs up and the gutter overflows even when the guttering itself is fine. We handle both ends of that.
Yes. We work across Melbourne's north and west, including Keilor, Sydenham, St Albans, Braybrook, Maidstone, Essendon West, Westmeadows and Greenvale. Give us a call if your suburb is not listed.

A Closer Look At Our Roof Plumbing

Gutter Repairs & Replacements

Gutters fail slowly. The fall flattens out as brackets give, leaves and grit collect in the low spots, and water sits there long enough to rust through the base. By the time it shows on the outside, the fascia behind it has usually copped some of it too.

We repair and replace guttering, reset the fall, and replace brackets so the new run holds its line.

Downpipe Repairs & Replacements

Downpipes are sized to the roof area feeding them. A lot of older homes across Essendon and Moonee Ponds were built with fewer and smaller downpipes than a modern roof would get, which is why the gutters overflow in a downpour even when they are clean.

We clear, repair and replace downpipes, and add extra ones where the roof area needs them.

Roof Leak Repairs

Most roof leaks are not holes in the roof. They come from failed flashings, a penetration that has lost its seal, a valley that dams up with debris, or water backing up under the sheeting because the gutter behind it is full.

We trace the leak back to the entry point and repair the roof there, then check the guttering and stormwater feeding the area so it does not come back.
