Right up against the Dandenongs
Ferntree Gully runs up to the edge of the Dandenong Ranges National Park. The closer you get to the hill, the steeper the blocks, the taller the trees and the wetter the weather.
It is also one of the older suburbs out this way. Near the station and up towards Upper Ferntree Gully there are weatherboard homes with corrugated iron roofs that have been there a long time. Further down it is mostly postwar brick veneer and weatherboard with tile roofs.
Old iron rusts through where the sheets overlap and around the fixings. Tile roofs in the shade grow moss, and the pointing on the ridge capping cracks with age. All of it can be repaired if it is caught in time.

When the iron has had it
Once rust eats through a sheet, patching buys months rather than years. If that is where your roof is, we talk you through replacing the affected sheets or the whole roof in new metal roofing. For a mossy tile roof that is otherwise sound, a roof restoration cleans it back to bare tile and seals it.
What the foothills do to a roof
Shade and damp do the slow damage. Storms do the fast damage.
Moss on shaded tilesUnder tall trees a roof can stay wet for weeks in winter. Moss and lichen hold that water on the tile and get in under the overlaps.
High, steep roofsHouses on sloping blocks often have a high, steep roof on the downhill side. That is not a job for a ladder and a tube of silicone.
Rust on old ironOlder corrugated iron rusts first where sheets overlap and around the fixings, where water sits. By the time it shows inside, it has been going a while.

Most of the time, restoring. A tile roof that is dirty, faded and losing its pointing is usually structurally fine and comes back beautifully. Replacement is for roofs that are genuinely past it, badly cracked throughout, or metal sheeting that has rusted through. We tell you which one you are looking at on the inspection, and we tell you if the honest answer is that it can wait.
