I get up on your Bayswater roof, find the real cause of the problem and walk you through what it needs, with photos.
Bayswater's homes sit in the eastern foothills where roofs cop plenty of leaf litter and weather. I look after tile and Colorbond alike. I'm Ryan, a local roofer with over 20 years on the tools. Free inspection, honest advice, and a 10-year guarantee.
Bayswater is a practical outer-eastern suburb in the Knox foothills, with a mix of post-war and 1970s brick-veneer homes carrying concrete and terracotta tile, plus plenty of Colorbond on the newer builds, sheds and extensions. After decades in the hills, most of these roofs have perished pointing and faded coating, and the metal roofs have started to chalk and rust.
Being close to the ranges, Bayswater roofs collect a lot of leaf litter off the surrounding gums and hold moss on the shaded sides. Gutters clog and valleys back up, which is usually where a leak begins. A good clean and restoration handles both the look and the watertightness in one go.
Drag the slider across a recent Melbourne restoration, from tired and faded to a deep, even finish. It is the same job I would do on a Bayswater roof, tile or Colorbond.

Tick the signs you're seeing on your roof and I'll tell you whether it's a repair or a full restoration you're likely looking at.
Tick any signs above to see what your roof likely needs.
On the tile and metal roofs around Bayswater, these are the issues we see most:
Perished ridge-cap pointing on post-war and 1970s tile roofs
Chalking coating and surface rust on older Colorbond roofs and sheds
Heavy leaf litter clogging gutters and valleys under the foothill gums
Moss and lichen on the shaded, treed faces
Faded, chalky tiles across the whole roof
Rusted valley irons letting water into the roof space
Both tile and Colorbond come back with a restoration rather than a full re-roof, and I will tell you honestly which your roof needs.

02We pressure wash the roof, re-bed and re-point the ridge caps with flexible pointing, replace broken tiles and sort out valleys and flashings.
03We prime the roof and roll on three coats of Globalcoat or Shieldcoat membrane in your colour, backed by a 10-year guarantee.
Most Bayswater homes are a single or double-storey tile roof. Pick your roof type and size for an indicative price, then book a free inspection for the exact quote.
Indicative only. Your exact price depends on roof size, pitch and condition. The inspection and quote are always free.
We're local to the area, so we cover Bayswater and the suburbs around it.
For a typical tile roof (around 180 to 220mยฒ) a full restoration usually runs between $4,000 and $7,500, covering the clean, re-point, minor repairs and three coats of membrane. Colorbond re-coats are priced per roof. Every job is quoted free after an inspection.
Yes, and there is a lot of it around Bayswater. We pressure wash the roof, treat any rust, roll on a metal primer and finish with colour membrane. It brings a faded, chalky metal roof back to a deep, even colour.
Around the foothills that is almost always leaf litter. We clear and check the gutters as part of a restoration, and replace them if they have rusted through.
If the tiles are sound and it is the pointing and coating that have gone, restoration is the smart spend. If the tiles are cracking across the whole roof, replacement makes more sense. A free inspection sorts it out.
As well as Bayswater, we regularly work in Boronia, Wantirna, Heathmont, Ringwood, Kilsyth and Bayswater North. If you are nearby and not sure, give me a call.
