Roof restoration services
Most Strathmore roofs do not need replacing. A restoration cleans, repairs and re-coats what is already there, and usually costs a fraction of a new roof.
Full roof restoration
High-pressure clean, tile repairs, ridge re-bed and re-point, then sealer and a fresh coat of membrane paint.
Ridge cap re-bed and re-point
Cracked or loose ridge capping lets water into the roof space. Re-bedding in fresh mortar and flexible pointing fixes it.
Roof repainting and sealing
Restore colour and protect tiles from moisture and moss with a quality acrylic coating.
Leak detection and repair
Find the source, from cracked tiles to failed ridge bedding, and repair it properly.
Tile replacement
Matching cracked, slipped or missing terracotta and cement tiles so the roofline stays intact.
Gutter cleaning and roof inspection
Gutters cleared of leaves and debris, plus a condition check of your tiles, bedding and pointing so you know what the roof needs.
Roofs in Strathmore
Strathmore is mostly interwar and post-war housing, with many brick homes under terracotta or cement tiles. These roofs are often 50 years or older and benefit from a clean, a re-bed and re-point, and a fresh coat. The era tells a roofer what the job involves, so say which one you have in the quote form.
Interwar bungalows
Early homes from the 1920s estate subdivisions, usually brick or timber bungalows with terracotta tiles.
Early 1940s homes
Modest homes from the wave of building that began in the early 1940s. Terracotta and cement tiles, now 75 to 85 years old.
Post-war brick homes
The bulk of Strathmore, built during the 1950s boom, mostly brick with cement tiles.
Strathmore roofs, up close
Strathmore stayed farmland until the 1920s, when the large estates began to be subdivided, and most of its houses date from the 1940s and 1950s as the suburb filled out. The Tullamarine Freeway later cut through it in the 1960s.
That makes most roofs here 60 to 80 years old, typically terracotta or cement tiles over brick. The usual story is cracked ridge bedding, tired paint and moss in shaded spots.

Roof restoration questions
Straight answers to what Strathmore homeowners ask most.
Price depends on roof size, pitch, material and how much repair work is needed. Most homeowners compare two or three quotes. Our form gets you those without ringing around.
Most Strathmore homes take two to five working days, depending on the weather and how much repair the roof needs. Rain delays painting and sealing, so a roofer may reschedule around a wet week.
If the tiles on your Strathmore home are structurally sound, restoring is usually the lower-cost option and extends the life of the roof by many years. A local roofer will tell you when replacement is the better call.
Like-for-like roof restoration in Strathmore usually does not need a permit. Heritage overlays can apply to parts of Strathmore and can affect tile colour and material, so check with your council before you commit.

Usually a clean, a ridge re-bed and re-point, and a recoat. Tiles from that period are generally sound, but the bedding and paint have often reached the end of their life.
Yes. Cement tiles lose their surface coating over time and respond well to cleaning and repainting. Terracotta is often cleaned and sealed, though many owners repaint it for colour.
