Water stains on the ceiling or drips when it rains? We track the leak to its real source and repair it properly, before the next downpour makes it worse.
The hard part of a roof leak is rarely the repair, it is finding where the water is actually getting in. Water travels along battens, sarking and rafters, so the stain on your ceiling is often metres from the entry point. We inspect the roof properly, find the true source and fix that, not just the symptom.
Most leaks come down to cracked tiles, failed mortar, rusted flashings or blocked valleys, and most can be repaired the same visit. If a storm has opened your roof up, call us first: we can make it safe quickly and come back for the permanent repair once the weather clears.
There is no honest flat rate for this job, and anyone who quotes you one over the phone has not looked at your roof. Here is what actually moves the number.
Most of the cost of a leak is the tracing, not the fixing. Water runs along battens and sarking, so the stain is often metres from where it gets in.
A cracked tile is a quick fix. A rusted valley, a failed flashing or a blocked box gutter is a bigger piece of work.
How we get to the leak matters, especially on a two storey or a steep pitch where harness and ladder work is involved.
The repair stops the water. Putting the ceiling or cornice right afterwards is separate, and we will price it separately so you can see both.
If any of these sound like your place, it is worth getting looked at before the next big rain. Spotting it early is almost always the cheaper repair.
No sales visit, no pressure, and no work starts before you have seen a fixed written price.
Into the roof cavity where we can get there, and over the roof itself. We are looking for the entry point, not the stain.
Photos of the actual fault. You should not have to take a roofer's word for something you cannot see.
Most leaks are cracked tiles, failed mortar, rusted flashings or a blocked valley, and most are fixable the same visit.
A leak repair is not finished because it looks finished. We put water on it and watch.

Call 0409 388 158The tracing is the variable, not the repair. A cracked tile found quickly is a small job. A leak that has been running into a valley for two years is not. We do not charge to come and look, so the quote costs you nothing.
Because water travels. It runs along battens, sarking and rafters until it finds somewhere to drop, which can be metres from where it entered. This is exactly why patching the spot under the stain so often fails.
We can make it safe in the wet, and sometimes rain is genuinely the best time to find a leak because we can see where the water is actually running. The permanent repair usually waits for a dry roof.
We can put the ceiling right once the roof is watertight, and we will quote it as a separate line so you can decide. Doing the plaster before the leak is fixed is money thrown away.
If water is coming in, say so when you call and we will prioritise you. For most inner Sydney leaks we can be there within a day or two, and faster when it is actively running.
Send the form or call and talk to the family directly. We will tell you straight what the roof needs and what it will cost.
