Roof plumber Melbourne: what we fix every day
Emergency leaks and storm damage need fast, clear action. We respond 24/7 to stop water entry and limit loss. Our approach is to find the source, secure the area, then fix or recommend the best long-term solution.
Leaks, burst pipes and emergency roof repairs
We handle urgent leaks, burst pipes and temporary make-safes to protect interiors. First we locate the leak, then we apply a targeted repair or a stabilising patch so the property stays dry.
Metal roof repairs, replacement and installation
Effective metal roof repair starts with cleaning and treating rust, then patching or replacing sheets and flashings. For extensive damage we advise on replacement options, materials and installation timelines that suit your budget.
Gutters, downpipes and drainage issues
We fix blocked gutters and downpipes, restore correct falls and resolve ponding so drainage copes with heavy storms. Keeping capacity and clear paths prevents repeat leaks and water damage.
Storm damage, flashing and penetrations
We repair lifted cappings, failed sealants and flashing around skylights and vents. Using quality materials from reputable brands, we do the job right the first time to protect warranties and insurance cover.
- Clear scope, photos and a practical plan so the job proceeds smoothly.
- Call us for rapid help on 1800 571 216 or visit our Port Melbourne page for local service options.

| Overflowing gutters | Clear debris, reset fall, replace downpipe | Box gutters, PVC downpipes, stainless fixings |
| Flashing failure at penetration | Remove old flashing, install new detail | Lead-look flashings, coated metal, sealants |

When to call us for roof leaks and emergencies
A timely inspection can save your house from mould, timber rot and rising repair bills. We are available 24/7 for urgent leaks and burst pipes. Call 1800 571 216 for immediate support from our Melbourne team.
Warning signs your roof needs attention now
If you see ceiling stains, bubbling paint or damp smells, get help straight away. These are clear signs of active leaks that will worsen with time.
If gutters overflow, eaves sag or rust appears, book an inspection before damage spreads. Early action keeps repair costs lower and protects the value of your home.
How delays escalate costs, damage and risk
Delaying repairs lets water weaken timber, insulation and plaster. That raises costs and extends the time needed to fix the problem.
We provide rapid make-safes and temporary protection to limit harm while we plan permanent repairs the right way. On-site diagnosis includes photos and a straightforward fix strategy aligned to your budget.
- Licensed inspection to support warranties and insurance claims.
- Priority safety near electricals and slippery surfaces.
- Options from targeted repairs to staged upgrades so you keep control and value.
Our roof plumbing process: from inspection to final sign-off
From first call to final checks, our method keeps you informed and the work accountable. We provide 24/7 contact so urgent jobs are triaged quickly and a licensed site inspection is scheduled without delay.
On-site inspection and transparent diagnosis
We inspect the area, trace the source and note hidden risks. Photos and a clear diagnosis are shared so you understand the scope and the safety measures we recommend.
Clear quote, scope and materials selection
You receive a transparent quote that lists recommended materials from reputable brands and realistic timelines. If unexpected conditions appear, we present options and only proceed with your written approval.
Installation, quality checks and contact final inspection
- Installation follows manufacturer specs and best practice to protect warranties.
- We run interim quality checks and finish with a contact final inspection to verify watertight outcomes.
- After job completion you get photos, documentation and simple maintenance tips for future inspections.
We highly recommend booking an inspection early to avoid escalating costs. Call 1800 571 216 or visit our roof plumbing page to arrange a visit.

Repairs done right the first time
We locate the source, clean affected areas, convert rust and apply compliant patching to sheet joins and flashings. Our licensed team follows manufacturer specs to maintain warranties and deliver consistent workmanship.
Complete roof and roof replacements
When patching is no longer viable, we prepare a staged plan for full roof replacement. That plan covers materials, safety, sequencing around weather and minimal disruption to your business or home.

- Fixes target corrosion, loose fasteners and failed sealants for watertight performance.

With years of experience in roofing and roof plumbing, we help you weigh repair versus replacement by balancing upfront cost with long-term quality. Call 1800 571 216 to arrange an inspection.
Gutters, downpipes and roof drainage done properly
We inspect the whole drainage chain to make sure water moves where it should, every time it rains.
We repair and replace gutters and downpipes using reputable brands and correct materials so capacity and falls meet demand. That prevents overflow, internal damp and eave damage that can harm your house.
Where flashing meets gutters we correct the detailing to stop capillary leaks and backflow. Replacing rusted sections and failed joints improves durability and appearance.
We assess drainage as a system, checking downpipe discharge points so runoff does not undermine foundations. Our clear scope and timeline mean the job proceeds efficiently with minimal disruption.
- Fix leaking or overflowing gutters and undersized downpipes that cause damp.
- Restore correct falls and capacity so roofing drains properly in heavy rain.
- Licensed roof plumbing work protects warranties and supports insurance compliance.
Call 1800 571 216 for a fast drainage assessment or visit our drainage assessment page to arrange a visit. Proper drainage adds long-term value to your home.
Costs, quotes and insurance considerations
Knowing what drives price differences makes it easier to compare quotes and choose value. Costs depend on damage severity, size, access and chosen materials.
What affects the price of a repair or replacement
Pricing varies with extent of the problem, the roof area and how easy the site is to access.
We always start with an on-site inspection so the quote reflects real conditions and the most efficient way forward.
Insurance events vs wear and tear: what to know
Storm or hail damage is commonly covered. Wear and tear or neglect usually is not.
We provide photos, documentation and a professional assessment to support insurer discussions.
| Cost factor | How it affects price | What we include |
|---|---|---|
| Damage extent | Major repairs or roof replacement raise labour and materials | Detailed scope, options and timelines |
| Materials & quality | Premium materials cost more but deliver long-term value | Brand names, warranties and care requirements |
| Access & time | Difficult access or urgent jobs increase labour time | Clear quote with staging and emergency options |
We would highly recommend booking an inspection early after storms. Call us on 1800 571 216 for a fast quote and help with insurance paperwork.

What does our inspection and quoting process involve?
We conduct an on-site inspection, diagnose the problem, and provide a clear, itemised quote outlining scope, materials and timelines. We explain options for repair versus replacement and advise on long-term value so you can make an informed decision.
How do we handle metal roof repairs and replacements?
For metal roofs we assess corrosion, fasteners, seams and penetrations, then recommend patch, section replacement or a complete reroof. We match profile and finish, use compatible materials and install with correct flashing to prevent future leaks.
Do we fix gutters and downpipes as part of roof work?
Yes. Proper drainage is essential. We repair and replace gutters, downpipes and outlets, clear blockages, and install appropriate fall and outlets to protect your home from water damage and to complement any roof replacement.

Active dripping, pooling water in the roof space, new ceiling stains, mould growth, loose or missing metal sheeting, and significant rust are all signs you should contact us now. Early action reduces repair scope and cost.

Delaying repairs allows water to spread, timber to rot and fixtures to corrode. Small leaks often become major jobs, increasing material, labour and insurance complications. We recommend prompt assessment to limit escalation.

Cost depends on materials, extent of damage, roof profile, access, removal of old materials, structural repairs and any required council approvals. We provide transparent quotes so you understand where value is allocated.
