Roof Restoration & Repairs Tullamarine

Tullamarine is a practical north-western suburb out near the airport, built mostly through the post-war years into the 1970s and 80s. Most of the housing is brick-veneer with concrete or terracotta tile, plus plenty of Colorbond on the newer homes, sheds and extensions. After decades on this exposed, open ground the pointing has perished and the coating has faded.

The thing about Tullamarine is how exposed it is. Sitting on flat, open land near the airport, these roofs cop more wind than the sheltered inner suburbs, which loosens ridge caps and lifts tiles. A restoration re-beds and re-points the lot and gives the roof a tough, weather-ready finish.

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

• Perished, cracked ridge-cap pointing worked loose by the wind

• Lifted or slipped tiles on exposed, open blocks

• Faded, chalky tiles and coating from the open exposure

• Chalking and surface rust on older Colorbond roofs and sheds

• Rusted valley irons letting water into the roof space

• Gutters and downpipes blown full of debris

On exposed ground like Tullamarine, well-bedded ridge caps and a tough coating matter more than most, and a restoration handles both.
