I get up on your Mount Waverley roof, find the real cause of the problem and walk you through what it needs, with photos.
Mount Waverley is full of solid 1960s and 70s brick homes on leafy blocks, and after decades of Melbourne weather most of their tile roofs are due for attention. I'm Ryan, a local roofer with over 20 years on the tools. Free inspection, honest advice, and a 10-year guarantee.
Mount Waverley is one of the south-east's most sought-after family suburbs, built out mainly through the 1960s and 70s. That means a lot of solid brick-veneer homes on established, leafy blocks, most with concrete tile roofs. Those tiles have done half a century of work, but the ridge-cap pointing has usually perished and the tile coating has faded and chalked by now.
It is a green, treed suburb, so we also see plenty of moss on the shaded southern faces and gutters that fill with leaf litter. A proper clean and restoration brings a tired Mount Waverley roof back to watertight and looking new, and lifts the whole street appeal of the home.
Drag the slider across a recent Melbourne tile restoration, from faded and worn to a clean, even finish. It is the same re-point and three-coat job I would do on a Mount Waverley roof.

On the 1960s and 70s tile roofs around Mount Waverley, these are the issues that come up most:
Perished, cracked ridge-cap pointing on concrete tile roofs
Faded and chalky tiles that make a well-kept home look tired
Moss and lichen on the shaded, leafy southern faces
Gutters and valleys clogged with leaf litter off established trees
Cracked or slipped tiles after storms
Rusted valley irons letting water into the roof space
A full restoration brings a Mount Waverley roof back to a watertight, like-new finish for a fraction of the cost of replacing it.

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 Mount Waverley and the suburbs around it.
For a typical Mount Waverley home (a standard tile roof around 180 to 220mยฒ) a full restoration usually runs between $4,000 and $7,500. That covers the clean, re-bed and re-point, minor repairs and three coats of membrane. Every roof is quoted free after an inspection.
Yes, those are most of the roofs I work on around Mount Waverley. Concrete tile roofs from the 60s and 70s are ideal candidates for restoration, since the tiles are usually still sound and it is the pointing and coating that have worn out.
On a structurally sound roof, yes. A restoration adds around 12 to 15 years of life, stops leaks and makes the house look years younger, all for a fraction of a full replacement. If your roof is genuinely past it, I will tell you honestly.
If the tiles are sound and it is mainly the pointing, colour and a few repairs, restoration is the smart choice. If the tiles are cracking across the whole roof, replacement makes more sense. A free inspection sorts it out.
As well as Mount Waverley, we regularly work in Glen Waverley, Chadstone, Ashwood, Notting Hill, Syndal and Mulgrave. If you are nearby and not sure, give me a call.
