Most leaks aren't caused by what's directly above the wet ceiling spot. Water travels along battens, runs under tiles and shows up several metres from the actual failure point. Our repair crews start every job by tracing the leak path properly — usually with a moisture meter and a hose test — before lifting a single tile.
What's typically involved
- Replacement of cracked, slipped or sun-bleached clay or concrete tiles
- Re-bedding and re-pointing ridge and hip lines that have lifted
- Sealing or replacing failed lead and aluminium flashings around chimneys, skylights and walls
- Clearing internal box gutters and valley irons that have started to back up
- Patching corroded sections of metal deck and treating rust before it spreads
- Repairing failed underlay where moisture is making it past the outer layer
The process, step by step
We come on site, walk the roof, photograph the issue and write up a repair plan with a fixed price. If the cause looks structural rather than surface-level, we'll say so plainly — we'd rather lose a small job than be the people who taped over a real problem.
For standard repairs we can usually begin within 2–4 working days of the quote being accepted. Emergency work — active leaks during a storm — is normally on site the same day, weather permitting, with a temporary cover first if conditions aren't safe for a permanent fix.
"We fix roofs the way we'd want our own homes fixed: properly the first time, in plain language, and with photos of what we found."
What it costs
Most single-point tile or flashing repairs on a residential property fall between RM 350 and RM 1,200. Larger jobs — say, a full valley replacement or a corroded metal flashing run — typically land between RM 1,400 and RM 3,800. You'll see every line in writing before any work starts.
