Roof Repairs
A stain on the ceiling is the last step in a leak, not the first. We work back to where the water is actually getting in.
What to look for
Signs you need this work done
Most roof leaks aren't caused by the spot where you can see the damage. Water travels along battens and rafters before it shows up inside, which is why a patch job so often fails within a season. We inspect the whole roof, including flashings, valleys, ridge capping and penetrations, then repair the point of entry rather than the symptom.
Water stains or bubbling paint on the ceiling
Usually the sign of a leak that's been going for a while. The wet patch inside is rarely directly under the entry point, so it's worth having the whole roof looked at.
Cracked, slipped or missing tiles
Common after a storm, or from foot traffic during other trades' work. Once water gets past the tiles it starts on the sarking and the timber underneath.
Rusted or lifting flashing
Flashing around chimneys, skylights and roof valleys is the first thing to fail on most older roofs. It's also one of the most commonly botched repairs.
Damage after a storm or hail
Wind lifts tiles and sheets, hail dents and cracks them. A lot of the damage isn't visible from the ground, so it's worth a proper look before the next downpour.

Why Renovaroof
Why people go with us
We find the cause, not just the wet patch
A leak rarely starts where it shows up inside. We track it back to the flashing, valley or cracked tile that's actually letting water in, so the repair holds.
You'll get the honest option, including 'do nothing yet'
If your roof has years left in it, we'll say so. We'd rather quote you for a repair now and a restoration in five years than sell you a re-roof you don't need.
Itemised quotes, no moving numbers
You'll see what's included before we start. If we find something unexpected up there, we stop and talk to you about it rather than adding it to the invoice.
The same crew from quote to clean-up
The person who inspects your roof is across the job when the work happens. Nothing gets lost handing your job between a salesperson and a subbie.

Common questions
Roof Repairs questions
It depends on what's actually wrong, what your roof is made of and how hard it is to get to. A couple of cracked tiles is a very different job to re-doing a valley. We'll give you a written quote after we've had a look, and you're under no obligation to go ahead with it.
Yes. We handle storm and hail damage including lifted or broken tiles, damaged flashing and dented sheeting. If you're claiming on insurance we can document what we find and what the repair involves so you've got something to give your insurer.
An active leak is the sort of thing we try to fit in quickly, because water damage gets more expensive by the day. Text us a photo rather than using the form if it's urgent and we'll let you know the soonest we can be there.
Yes, terracotta and concrete tiles as well as metal sheeting. Let us know which you've got when you enquire so we can bring the right materials with us.
In most cases a repair is enough, and that's what we'll recommend. If your roof is at the point where you'd be repairing it every year, we'll tell you that honestly and show you why. But we won't push a replacement on a roof that's still got life in it.
