Common Roofing Issues
Leaking Roofs
Problem: Roof leaks are one of the most common issues we see, especially during heavy coastal storms. Causes can include rusted sheets, faulty flashing, or poor sealing around vents and skylights.
How We Help: We specialise in pinpointing and fixing leaks fast. Our team provides emergency roof leak repairs using high-quality, weather-resistant materials built for coastal homes.
Roof Storm Damage
Problem: High winds and heavy rainfall can rip up flashing, dent or dislodge metal roof sheets, or damage ridge capping and gutters.
How We Help: We respond quickly with emergency repairs, assess the full extent of the damage, and can provide written reports for insurance claims. We prioritise secure, long-lasting fixes—not just temporary patches.
Blocked or Damaged Gutters
Problem: Blocked, sagging, or rusted gutters lead to water overflow, rotting fascia boards, and damage to your roof or foundation.
How We Help: We offer complete gutter and downpipe repairs, replacements, and cleaning to ensure proper drainage and protect your property from water damage.
Rust and Corrosion (Metal Roofs)
Problem: The coastal air on the Mornington Peninsula is tough on older metal roofs, accelerating rust and corrosion that can compromise the roof’s strength.
How We Help: Whether you need targeted rusted sheet replacement or a full Colorbond roof upgrade, we use materials designed to withstand our local climate—ensuring long-term performance.
Damaged or Lifting Flashing
Problem: Flashing seals around roof penetrations like chimneys, skylights, or walls often deteriorate over time—creating ideal paths for water to enter.
How We Help: We carefully inspect and repair or replace roof flashing, sealing all vulnerable points to ensure your roof remains watertight.
Poor Roof Ventilation
Problem: A poorly ventilated roof space traps heat and moisture, creating mould, roof damage, and high energy bills.
How We Help: We install whirlybirds, roof vents, and solar-powered ventilation systems that improve airflow, reduce humidity, and help your roof and ceiling insulation perform at their best.
Leaking or Improperly Installed Skylights
Problem: Skylights bring in natural light, but if installed poorly or worn over time, they can leak and cause internal ceiling damage.
How We Help: We handle professional skylight installations and replacements, with proper sealing and flashing to keep your home bright, dry, and stylish.
Roof Wear and Tear Over Time
Problem: After 15–20 years, even the best-installed metal roofs can show signs of age—fading, leaks, rust, and weakened joints.
How We Help: We provide thorough inspections and offer roof restorations or full replacements using modern Colorbond or Zincalume roofing, ensuring durability and fresh curb appeal.
Poor Workmanship from Past Repairs
Problem: We often find issues caused by unlicensed trades or DIY fixes—like silicone overuse, incorrectly installed flashings, or mismatched materials.
How We Help: Our team is fully licensed and insured, and we take the time to do it right the first time. We fix shoddy work, ensure compliance, and give you peace of mind that the repair will last.
Lack of Roof Maintenance
Problem: Many roof issues start small—like a minor leak or loose screw—but grow into major repairs when left unchecked.
How We Help: We offer scheduled roof inspections and maintenance plans, identifying small problems before they become big, costly ones. It’s the smartest way to extend your roof’s life and avoid surprise expenses.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. What suburbs do you service for roof plumbing?
We offer metal roof plumbing services throughout the East and South Eastern Suburbs of Melbourne and the Mornington Peninsula — from the City to Portsea and everywhere in between. Unsure if we come to your suburb? Just get in touch and we’ll confirm.
2. Can anyone fix a metal roof in Victoria?
No — in Victoria, only a licensed roof plumber is authorised to work on metal roofs like Colorbond and Zincalume. This ensures your roof is installed or repaired to code, safely, and legally. Our team is fully qualified and licensed for all metal roofing work.
3. What’s the difference between a roof plumber and a roofer?
Roofers usually focus on the outer surface of a roof, like tiles or metal sheeting. Roof plumbers, however, are trained to work with metal roofing systems, gutters, flashings, and drainage. If your roof is metal, you’ll need a licensed roof plumber to ensure proper waterproofing and compliance.
4. Are your roof plumbers certified and insured?
Yes. All work we do is carried out by licensed and insured professionals, with full adherence to Victorian safety and construction regulations. You’re in safe hands with Dependable Roof Plumber.
5. Do you offer free quotes before starting any work?
We sure do. Whether it’s a small roof leak or a full metal roof replacement, we provide free, no-obligation quotes after inspecting your roof. You’ll receive a clear breakdown of pricing before any work begins.
6. Can you fix a roof leak immediately?
Where possible, yes. We often carry the parts and tools needed to fix common roof leaks on the spot. If your repair is more complex, we’ll schedule a follow-up visit promptly and keep you fully informed.
7. Do you work exclusively with metal roofing like Colorbond?
Yes. We specialise in metal roofing systems, including Colorbond and Zincalume. From repairs and restorations to full replacements, we focus only on metal roofs — not tile roofing.
8. What kinds of roof plumbing services do you provide?
We offer metal roof repairs, full roof replacements, roof restoration, guttering and downpipe work, whirlybird installation, skylights, and roof ventilation. If it involves metal roofing or rainwater systems, we can help.
9. What’s involved in replacing a metal roof?
Roof replacement includes removing the old metal sheeting, inspecting the structure beneath, and installing new Colorbond or Zincalume sheets, flashings, and drainage. We handle everything from start to finish, including clean-up.
10. Can you help with storm damage or insurance claims?
Yes. If your roof has been damaged in a storm, we’ll inspect the damage, carry out temporary fixes if needed, and provide a detailed report to assist with your insurance claim.
11. How long will a new Colorbond roof last?
Colorbond roofs are built to endure. When installed correctly, they can last 30–50 years with minimal maintenance — perfect for coastal and suburban homes in Victoria’s south east.
12. Will your team clean up after the job is done?
Definitely. We take pride in leaving your home as neat as we found it. All old roofing material and debris is removed, and we make sure your property is left safe and tidy.
13. How can I tell if my roof needs restoring or replacing?
If your roof shows rust, frequent leaks, sagging areas, or faded coating, it may be due for restoration or replacement. We’ll inspect your roof and give honest advice on the best way forward.
14. How long does a metal roof restoration take?
Most roof restorations take 2–4 days, depending on your roof’s size and condition. Weather may affect the timeline slightly, but we always aim for efficient, high-quality results.
15. Why is it important to use a licensed roof plumber instead of a general tradesperson?
Roof plumbers are specially trained to handle water drainage, flashings, metal roof installation, and compliance. Using an unlicensed tradesperson risks poor workmanship and non-compliant results — especially risky with metal roofing.
