The detective work

Leak Detection & Roof Repairs

Water runs downhill, along battens, across sarking, and shows up three metres from where it got in. We trace the actual entry point, photograph it, and quote the targeted fix, because replacing the wrong section fixes nothing.

Scope

What this job includes.

  • Ceiling stain and drip tracing to the true entry point
  • Flashing, valley and penetration repairs
  • Cracked tile and sheet replacement
  • Repointing of lifted or cracked ridge capping
  • Photo evidence of the fault and the finished fix
Our system: Every leak job ends with photos of the repair from on the roof, so you are not taking "all fixed" on faith from the bottom of a ladder.
How we quote it

On the roof first, then a fixed price.

No driveway guesses. We climb the roof, photograph what is failing, and put the scope, the materials and the price in writing before any work starts.

The 7-line quote
  1. 1 The inspection report. Photos from on your roof showing exactly what is failing and what is still sound. Not a guess from the driveway.
  2. 2 The fix, itemised. Materials by name (the Colorbond colour, the membrane brand, the screw class) and labour for the whole job. No "from" pricing.
  3. 3 The edges of the job. What is not included, named up front: gutters, skylights, solar removal and reinstatement. No surprise lines later.
  4. 4 The guarantee. 10-year workmanship in writing, plus the manufacturer warranty on sheets, tiles or membrane registered to you.
If a quote doesn’t show these lines, you can’t compare it, and you don’t know what’s been cut.

Insured, covered, guaranteed

The paperwork behind the price.

Public liability to $20M, and a 10-year workmanship warranty, all in writing, all on request.

Roofing work over $5,000 and all roof plumbing must be done by a licensed contractor in NSW, and our licence number is on every quote so you can check it on the Fair Trading register. Public liability cover protects your home and your neighbours if anything goes wrong at height, and the workmanship guarantee means if something we installed fails, we come back and put it right, in writing, for a decade.

The cover, the guarantee, and how to check each one.
Questions, answered

Leak Detection & Roof Repairs: common questions.

Why does my roof only leak in heavy rain with wind?
Wind-driven rain travels uphill under flashings and laps that shed normal rain fine. That is classic flashing or pointing failure, and it is one of the cheapest leaks to fix once it is actually located.
Can you find a leak that two other roofers could not?
It is most of what this service exists for. We trace from inside the roof cavity as well as on top, and if we genuinely cannot reproduce or locate it, you do not get an invoice for guessing.
