Most gutter cleaning and leak inspections take 2 to 4 hours. High-pressure cleaning or ridge pointing is usually completed within 1 day, while a full multi-coat roof painting project typically takes 2 to 3 days depending on weather.

Yes. We provide free, 100% no-obligation itemised quotes for all five of our roofing services across the Perth metro, Mandurah, Bunbury, and surrounding WA regions.

Perth's winter rains and shaded coastal climates encourage thick moss, lichen, and algae growth. These organisms trap moisture against porous tiles, breaking down protective glaze and causing water backup into eaves. High-pressure cleaning removes buildup safely.

No. Our technicians calibrate pressure levels according to tile composition (concrete, terracotta, or metal) to lift stubborn lichen and grime without fracturing tiles or forcing water under flashings.

In general WA conditions, we recommend high-pressure cleaning every 2 to 3 years. Properties shaded by large trees or situated in damp coastal pockets benefit from cleaning every 1 to 2 years.

Water rarely drops straight down. It travels along roof battens, trusses, and sarking membranes before staining your interior plasterboard. Professional leak detection traces the moisture trajectory back to the external tile or flashing defect.

We inspect roof valleys, penetrations (vents, skylights, flues), lead flashing, ridge capping, and internal ceiling cavity framework to locate the precise water entry point.

No. Booking an inspection immediately prevents structural timber rot, damaged insulation batts, and electrical ceiling hazards. We can diagnose intrusion points even in dry weather.

Flexible pointing is a polymer-modified compound that replaces brittle sand-and-cement mortar. It flexes with normal house movement and thermal expansion, preventing cracks and keeping ridge caps storm-proof for 10 to 15+ years.

Look for crumbling mortar pieces washed into gutters, visible cracks along the hip lines, dislodged ridge capping tiles, or internal ceiling stains underneath ridge junctions.

Yes. Where the existing cement base has failed, we remove the loose mortar and re-bed the capping tiles on fresh sand-cement mortar before applying the flexible pointing topcoat.

If your tiles are structurally intact, high-build acrylic roof painting restores full waterproof protection and modern street appeal at approximately one-third the cost of a full re-roof.

We apply premium Colorbond-matched shades including Monument, Charcoal, Slate Grey, Surfmist, Classic Cream, and Terracotta Red, formulated specifically for intense WA UV resistance.

Our coatings dry to touch in 2 to 4 hours and reach full weather-cure in 48 to 72 hours, providing immediate rain resistance.

We advise cleaning gutters at least twice annually — once in late autumn after deciduous leaf drop, and once in spring prior to the peak thunderstorm season.

Compacted debris causes stormwater to back up under eaves, rotting timber fascia boards, damaging ceiling linings, and causing garden or foundation soil erosion around your perimeter.

Yes. Every service includes manual debris clearance followed by full downpipe water flushing to confirm free-flowing discharge to stormwater outlets.
