Sunshine has some of the most established housing in Melbourne’s west, and many of those roofs have been working hard for decades. 61 Roof Care serves Sunshine from Caroline Springs, where we are based at 242 Caroline Springs Blvd, about a 20-minute drive away. If you have a leak, a rattling sheet or a gutter that spills over, call 0494 063 085 and we will arrange a free inspection.
Sunshine, Sunshine North and Sunshine West have a lot of post-war weatherboards and brick veneers, so older-roof work is our bread and butter here.
Here is what we find most often when we climb onto a Sunshine roof:
After 50 years or more of sun and rain, concrete tiles become porous. Moss and lichen take hold, and the roof holds water instead of shedding it. A clean and recoat can fix this, if the tiles are still sound.
Many Sunshine homes have chimneys or extensions that were added later. The flashings around these junctions crack and lift, and water quietly tracks into the ceiling.
Galvanised roofing on garages, sheds and rear additions can rust at the fixings first. Catching it early often means a repair rather than replacement.
Wind funnelling down the open streets can also lift loose capping, so we always check the ridge line.
We start with a roof inspection and take photos, so you can see exactly what we see. Then you receive a written quote with the scope, price and warranty. Once you are happy, we book a time and finish the work, leaving everything tidy. No pressure and no upselling.
In most cases, yes. If the tiles are solid and the battens are fine, restoration gives a strong result at a fraction of the cost of replacement.
A typical home takes around three to five days, depending on weather and how much repair work is needed.
