Your local roofer, based in Lilydale
Lilydale is home for us. It is where the business is based, so getting out to look at a roof here is easy.
The town has a real mix of roofs. Around the older streets near Main Street there are weatherboard homes with corrugated iron, and solid brick places with terracotta tiles. Out from the centre it is mostly brick veneer from the seventies and eighties with cement tile roofs, then newer estates on the edges of town.
Each one fails in its own way. Old iron rusts where the sheets overlap and around the fixings. Terracotta gets brittle and cracks. On cement tile roofs it is usually the ridge capping that goes first, when the mortar underneath cracks and lets go.

Repair it or restore it?
If the roof is sound and it is one or two faults, a repair is all it needs. If the whole surface is worn and the pointing is going everywhere, a roof restoration makes more sense. We tell you straight which one it is. More on what we fix is on our roof repairs page.
What Lilydale weather does to a roof
Lilydale sits at the edge of the Yarra Valley, and it gets colder and damper here than it does closer to the city.
Frost and fogCold valley mornings mean roofs here stay wet for longer through winter. Tiles that have gone porous soak that up instead of shedding it.
Moss and lichenA damp roof grows moss, mostly on the south side and under trees. Moss holds water against the tile and gets in where the tiles overlap.
Summer stormsA storm over the valley can drop a lot of rain in a short time. That is when a cracked tile or a blocked valley shows itself.
