I get up on your Wheelers Hill roof, find the real cause of the problem and walk you through what it needs, with photos.
Wheelers Hill is known for its big 1970s and 80s homes on the rise, and those large roofs are now due for their first restoration. I'm Ryan, a local roofer with over 20 years on the tools. Free inspection, honest advice, and a 10-year guarantee.
Wheelers Hill was built out mainly through the 1970s and 80s, and it shows in the housing: large, often double-storey brick-veneer homes on big elevated blocks, most with concrete tile roofs and a good number in Colorbond. Those roofs are large, so when the pointing perishes and the coating fades, there is a lot of surface to bring back, and it makes a big difference to the look of the house.
Sitting up on the hill near Jells Park, these roofs are exposed to more wind and collect leaf litter off the surrounding parkland and gums. We see a lot of moss on the shaded faces and gutters that clog through autumn. A proper clean and restoration handles the lot.
Drag the slider across a recent Melbourne restoration, from washed-out and tired to a deep, even finish that holds its colour. It is the same job I would do on a Wheelers Hill roof.

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.

On the large 1970s and 80s roofs around Wheelers Hill, these are the issues we see most:
Perished ridge-cap pointing across big concrete tile roofs
Faded, chalky tiles and coating over a large, visible roof area
Chalking and surface rust on older Colorbond roofs and extensions
Moss and lichen on the shaded, exposed faces up on the hill
Gutters and valleys clogged with leaf litter off the parkland gums
Cracked or slipped tiles after the wind that comes across the rise
On a roof this size, a restoration transforms the whole look of the home, and for a fraction of the cost of re-roofing it.

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 Wheelers Hill 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 Wheelers Hill 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. Wheelers Hill has a lot of big double-storey homes, which sit at the upper end of that range. Every roof is quoted free after an inspection.
It does. Price scales with roof size, pitch and condition, so the larger double-storey homes common around Wheelers Hill cost more than a small single-storey roof. I measure it up and give you a fixed price after a free look.
Yes. A lot of Wheelers Hill homes and extensions are Colorbond. We pressure wash, treat rust, prime and finish with colour membrane. Tile roofs get re-pointed and three coats.
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 Wheelers Hill, we regularly work in Glen Waverley, Mulgrave, Rowville, Scoresby, Wantirna South and Notting Hill. If you are nearby and not sure, give me a call.
