Common Problems We Fix In Millswood

Millswood is known for its leafy streets and a good mix of older character homes alongside newer builds. Many properties here face unique roofing challenges, sometimes due to age, but often thanks to our local building styles and landscaping.

Over the years, we’ve seen a steady pattern in the sorts of roofing issues Millswood homeowners bring to us for help. Here are the most common roofing problems we resolve in this area.

Leaks After Rain or Heavy Winds

Homeowners often notice water stains or damp patches appearing in the ceiling or along internal walls, especially after heavy rain. Sometimes it’s caused by cracked or slipped tiles, other times, flashing around chimneys and roof joins starts to lift or rust.

These leaks can be tricky, as water usually finds the path of least resistance, making the entry point hard to spot. If not addressed promptly, what starts as a small drip can quickly lead to sagging plaster, mould, and even structural timber rot.

Our team is experienced in tracking down the source and undertaking targeted repairs, minimising further damage.

 

Blocked or Damaged Gutters and Downpipes

Millswood’s mature trees look great, but they do mean gutters tend to fill with leaves and debris, especially in autumn. Blocked gutters stop water from draining away efficiently, leading to overflow problems and even water running back into the roof cavity or under eaves.

Over time, dampness from this issue can contribute to wood rot in fascias and rafters. Broken or rusted guttering also makes the problem worse, so we’re often

 

Moss and Lichen Build-Up

Moss and lichen love the shady, tree-lined streets found in parts of Millswood. This build-up is more than just an eyesore; it holds moisture against roof tiles and metal sheets, speeding up wear and even causing leaks over time.

Left unchecked, moss growth can block drainage paths, which puts extra stress on gutters and valleys, especially during a downpour. We regularly treat and clean these growths to extend roof life and help prevent moisture damage to the underlying structure.

 

Deterioration of Ridge Capping

Many older homes in Millswood have ridge capping with mortar that breaks down over decades. When this mortar starts to fail, it leaves gaps along the roof apex, making your home more vulnerable to water ingress.

Signs include visible cracks or loose sections at the ridges and hips of your roof. Addressing deteriorated ridge capping isn’t just about stopping leaks, repointing or re-bedding these areas also reinforces the roof’s overall stability.

Our team specialises in ridge capping repairs, paying close attention to both heritage style and modern requirements.

Metro Roof provided us with a new Colorbond Roof. This required significant strengthening of the underlying roof structure. They made an outstanding impression on us from Day One. A response from Adam to our initial inquiry through to the provision of a detailed quote all came in a matter of days. His preparedness for flexibility, including variation of work to be done, adjustment of timelines and cost amendment was most notable.
The quality of work done, including in the final product was first class.
Adam clearly recognises the importance of careful supervision and molnitoring of his tradesmen. They worked without intrusion on us and with sensitivity to our comings and goings.
We approached Metro roof on the recommendation of a friend who had used them previously and we were not disappointed.

I can highly recommend Metro Roof for the professional quality of work for my full roof replacement. Adam was in regular contact with me about progress, consistently monitored the work, fixed new problems found during the job & left my place clean at all stages. It was a pleasure dealing with Adam and his workers.

Adam and his team saved my sanity (and my carpets)! Last spring’s heavy downpours meant we sprang two leaks, one over the patio doors in the living room and one above the bay window in our bedroom. Other contractors had earlier ‘fixed’ the living room leak with silicon which inevitably eventually wore away. Adam custom built new flashing to fit along the join between the house and the back verandah which will solve the problem forever. His real triumph, though, was with the front bay window. He couldn’t at first find the source of the leak. He worked on two likely suspects which improved things but, when they didn’t work entirely, he rushed around in the pouring rain so that he could see for himself exactly what the problem was. We haven’t had a leak since. Adam was patient and careful throughout and simply wasn’t going to be beaten by that pesky water! I cannot say enough about the extent to which he went above and beyond to solve the problem. And his rates were very reasonable too.

Adam and Metro Roof were thoroughly professional and delivered a great roof for my period house. They communicated clearly throughout, gave a clear break down of costs, turned up when they said they would and delivered a finished project on time. I could not recommend them highly enough!

Great job done to fix our roof. We asked for a few quotes and Metro Roof gave us a good one with long-lasting repairs (and not just patching here and there). Good communication and time line accurate. Highly recommended.

For roof restoration or tile replacement in Millswood, the price can range widely depending on the size and specific condition of your roof.
