OUR METHODOLOGY
How we repair roofs and guttering
Finding the leak
Roof leaks rarely start where the water appears inside. We inspect the roof, flashing, valleys and gutters to trace the leak back to its source — whether it’s a cracked tile, failed flashing, or a blocked or rusted gutter — so the repair actually solves the problem.
Roof repairs
We repair leaks on both tile and metal roofs, including Colorbond — replacing broken tiles, resealing flashing and ridge capping, and fixing penetrations around vents and pipes. Catching a leak early prevents damage to ceilings, insulation and framing.
Gutters & downpipes
Blocked, rusted or undersized gutters send water where it shouldn’t go. We clear, repair and replace gutters and downpipes, and improve roof drainage so heavy rain is carried away from the building.
Standards & safety
Roof work is carried out by licensed plumbers with the right height-safety equipment and to Victorian plumbing standards. After heavy rain or storms we prioritise leak repairs to limit further water damage.

FAQS
Roof plumbing questions
A roof plumber works on the parts of a roof that manage water — roof sheeting, flashing, gutters, downpipes and roof drainage. We repair roof leaks on tile and metal roofs and replace guttering, which is different from a roof tiler’s or carpenter’s work.
Common signs are water stains on ceilings or cornices, drips during rain, damp or musty smells in the roof space, or peeling paint. Because water travels, the leak is often not directly above the stain — we trace it back to the source.
Yes. We clear, repair and replace gutters and downpipes, and improve roof drainage so water is carried away from your home. Replacing rusted or undersized guttering before storm season helps prevent overflow and water damage.
Yes. We repair both tile and metal roofs, including Colorbond — resealing flashing and ridge capping, fixing penetrations, and replacing damaged sheeting or tiles. We’ll recommend the right fix for your roof type and its age.
We prioritise leak repairs after heavy rain and storms, because every downpour makes the damage worse. Call (03) 9877 5775 and we’ll get to you as quickly as we can to make the roof watertight and limit further damage.
