Roof Restoration & Repairs Ringwood

Ringwood is one of the eastern suburbs' hubs, elevated and treed, with a real mix of housing. There are post-war brick-veneer homes with concrete and terracotta tile, plenty of 1970s and 80s builds, and newer homes and townhouses in Colorbond. Whatever the roof, the story out here is much the same by now: the pointing has perished and the coating has faded.

The thing that sets Ringwood apart is the trees. Established gums and the closeness of the ranges mean roofs collect a lot of leaf litter and hold moss on the shaded sides. Gutters and valleys clog, and that is where leaks usually start. A good clean and restoration sorts most of it in one go.

On the tile and metal roofs around Ringwood, these are the issues we see most:

• Perished ridge-cap pointing on post-war and 1970s tile roofs

• Heavy leaf litter clogging gutters and valleys under established gums

• Moss and lichen holding moisture on the shaded, treed sides

• Faded, chalky tiles and coating on both tile and older Colorbond roofs

• Rusted valley irons letting water into the roof space

• Cracked or slipped tiles after storms rolling in off the ranges

Sorting the roof and the guttering together is usually the smart move around Ringwood, since the leaf load out here is relentless.
