Roof Leak Repairs Melbourne
We trace roof leaks back to the actual entry point, not the stain on your ceiling. Flashings, valley irons, cracked tiles, rusted sheeting and failed penetrations all get checked. You get the cause explained and a fixed price before we start, with 24-hour help when water is coming in.

Water Coming Through Your Ceiling?
A brown ring on the ceiling that grows every downpour. Paint bubbling along a cornice. A drip that only shows in heavy rain. Or musty air in the hallway and insulation in the roof cavity sitting flat and soaked.
The stain is rarely under the hole. Water gets in at one point, runs along a batten, a rafter or the top of a beam, and drops off metres away. Patching the plaster under the stain does nothing.
So finding the source comes first. The same approach we use for hidden leak detection inside the house applies on the roof, and it is what separates a repair that holds from one that reappears next storm.

We work from the inside out. First the roof cavity, where tracking marks on timber point uphill toward the entry. Then the roof: flashing at chimneys, vents and skylights, corroded valley irons, slipped tiles, rusted sheeting and split sealant at penetrations.
Plenty of roof leaks are not holes at all. Blocked gutters and choked valleys make water back up under the tiles or behind the flashing. If that is the cause we sort the gutters and downpipes, not sell you a roof repair.
Then we repair it. Re-flashing, new valley iron, replacement tiles, sheeting and fastener work, or re-sealing penetrations properly. If the roof needs broader condition work, we show you photos and book roof repairs as a separate planned job.

Incredible and reliable service! I had an emergency situation with a blocked drain and overflowing sewage in my garden late afternoon on a 43 degree day. I found Kurt's details online, he arrived with all of his equipment within 30 minutes. Worked tirelessly in intense heat to identify the issue (which was actually impacting my neighbours house too, they didn't know because they were away!). Kurt made contact with relevant water and council services and used his years of training and experience to resolve the issue. Friendly, professional, no-nonsense service. 10/10 would recommend!

We initially thought this was just a simple blockage that we could fix ourselves, but the team at Elite Plumbing quickly showed us it was more than that. They took the time to properly investigate the issue, explained everything clearly, and walked us through what needed to be done without overcomplicating things. You could tell straight away they really knew what they were doing. What stood out the most was how easy they were to deal with, communication was smooth, they were responsive, and always followed up. No chasing, no confusion, just clear and honest updates. It's not often you come across a team that is both professional and genuinely easy to work with. Really appreciate their help and would highly recommend Elite Plumbing to anyone

Roof Leak Repair FAQs
Get a container under the drip and move furniture clear. If the ceiling is bulging, stay out from under it, because trapped water is heavy and plaster lets go without warning. Turn off power to that area, then call us. We run a 24-hour service.
Because water travels. Once it is past the tiles or sheeting it runs along battens and rafters until something stops it, then soaks into the plaster there. We have found entry points several metres from the stain, which is why a patch underneath never holds.
The common ones are perished flashing around chimneys, vents and skylights, corroded valley irons between two roof planes, cracked or slipped tiles, rusted sheeting and screw holes, failed sealant at pipe penetrations, and blocked gutters that make water back up under the roofline.
It depends on the cause. Re-sealing a penetration or replacing a few tiles is a small job. Replacing a rusted valley iron or re-flashing a chimney is bigger. We inspect first, show you photos, and give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Usually not. Most leaks come down to one failed component, so replacing that component is the answer. If the sheeting or the bedding is at the end of its life we will say so, and that is a planned conversation about roof repairs.
We are based in Glenroy and work right across Melbourne, with most of our roof work in the north and north-west. Tell us your suburb when you call and we will confirm and give you an arrival window.
