Roof repairs in Montrose
Montrose roofs live under big trees at the foot of Mount Dandenong. That means leaves, moss, fallen branches and leaks. Call us and we will come and look.
- Free inspection and written quote
- Fully insured
- Melbourne roofing since 2003
Trees are hard on a roof
Montrose is where the suburbs meet the hills. The blocks are bigger, the trees are taller, and it rains more here than it does down on the flat.
All of that lands on the roof. Leaves and bark fill the gutters and valleys. Shade keeps the tiles damp so moss and lichen take over. And when a storm comes through, branches come down.
The houses are a mix. Older weatherboard homes with metal roofs, brick veneer with cement tiles, and newer places built to suit sloping blocks. We repair both tile and metal.
Repairs we do in Montrose
- Storm damage made safe, then repaired properly
- Tiles cracked by falling branches replaced
- Leaks traced to the cause
- Valley and flashing repairs
- Ridge capping rebedded and repointed
- Gutters and downpipes replaced, with leaf guard mesh fitted
Keep the leaves out
Under trees like these a gutter does not stay clear for long. Leaf guard mesh keeps the leaves out of it in the first place, which matters in summer as much as in winter. See gutters and leaf guards. If a storm has already done damage, see storm damage repairs.
What the hills do to a roof
More rain, more shade and more falling timber than the suburbs down on the flat.
Moss and lichenA roof under tree cover never fully dries out in winter. Moss holds water against the tile and creeps in where the tiles overlap.
Branches in stormsMountain weather brings wind, and tall gums drop limbs. A tile cracked or a sheet dented by a branch is easy to miss until it rains.
Blocked valleys and guttersLeaves and bark dam up valleys and gutters. The water backs up, runs under the tiles or over the back of the gutter, and ends up in the ceiling.
