Wide new estates cop wind. Tiles that weren’t clipped, ridge capping that was pointed badly, and long runs of metal sheet on a flat, exposed block can let go in a blow — that’s exactly what we saw in Donnybrook, where we made a wind-stripped tile roof safe and repaired it in the same process. Older pockets in Werribee, Sunbury and Broadmeadows have the more familiar emergencies: a valley overflowing, a flashing ripped loose, a ceiling starting to bulge.

These suburbs are a shorter run than Ballarat or Bendigo. Craigieburn, Greenvale and Mickleham are often a relatively quick trip; Melton, Werribee, Point Cook, Sunbury and Wallan usually still sit inside about an hour in typical traffic. We’ll still give you a straight window, because a storm night in the west and north can fill the board quickly.

What counts as a roof emergency?

• Water coming through the ceiling or light fittings
• Tiles or sheets blown off in a storm
• A tree or branch through the roof
• Box gutters or valleys overflowing into the house
• Ceiling sagging or bulging with water
• Flashings ripped loose in the wind
• A skylight or penetration leaking badly in heavy rain

Before we get there

1. Stay safe. If the ceiling is sagging or water is near light fittings or power points, keep everyone out of that room. Turn the power off at the switchboard if it’s safe to do so.
2. Catch the water. Buckets and towels under the drips. If the ceiling is bulging, don’t poke it yourself; keep people out from under it.
3. Move what matters. Electronics, documents and furniture away from the leak, or covered in plastic.
4. Stay off the roof. Wet roofs are slippery, especially at night. Leave it to us.
5. Take photos. Inside and out, for your insurer.
6. In a life-threatening emergency, call 000. For storm help when nobody can reach you, the SES is on 132 500.

Insurance, photos and a cause report

If a storm, hail or sudden damage caused the leak, your insurer will want evidence. We photograph the damage and what we did, and we write down the cause. Wear and tear is a different story — we’ll tell you if that’s what it looks like. After hours there’s a $330 call-out fee, and the minimum charge for a make-safe, repair or patch done on the spot is $550. We’ll confirm the cost on the phone before we head out.

How our emergency roof repairs work

1. You call, we answer. A real person picks up, any hour, on 0426 204 244. Tell us what you can see and send photos if you can.
2. We talk you through staying safe while we work out how soon a crew can get to you.
3. We stop the water. Depending on the damage: resealing a flashing or skylight, replacing broken tiles, clearing a blocked valley or box gutter, re-fixing lifted sheets, or a properly secured tarp. We bring lights for night work.
4. We record the cause. Photos and notes on what happened and what we did, which your insurer will want.
5. We price the permanent repair. If the make-safe is temporary, you get a price for the proper fix before we start it.

Tarps done properly

A tarp is only as good as how it’s fixed. Thrown over a roof and weighed down with bricks or sandbags, it pools water, flaps in the wind, scratches tiles and often leaks or blows off within days. On a tiled roof, we tuck the top edge under the ridge tiles so water runs over the tarp, not under it, run the bottom into the gutter, and tension it with ropes. We use heavy-duty UV-rated tarps, not thin hardware-store ones. Then we come back and do the permanent repair.

Real work, not made-up local reviews

Donnybrook, on this corridor: high winds stripped a section of tiles from a modern concrete tile roof. We made it safe and did the immediate repair — about 30 tiles, three ridge caps re-bedded and pointed, surrounding tiles clipped — for $1,760 including GST, and wrote up why the wind got in (unclipped tiles and incorrectly applied ridge pointing) so the full fix could be claimed. Details are on our emergency roof repair Melbourne page. See also the job photo gallery.

We answer the phone 24/7. These suburbs are generally inside a one-hour run from Melbourne in typical traffic: Craigieburn and Mickleham are often closer, Werribee, Melton, Sunbury and Wallan a little further, Kilmore and Broadford further again. We’ll give you a straight arrival window for your street.

The builder is still on warranty. Should I still call you?

If water is coming in, stop the water first — that’s a make-safe, not a verdict on the builder. We’ll photograph the cause and what we did. You can use that with the builder, the warranty or the insurer. We won’t talk you into a fight we can’t run for you.

Do you actually answer at night?

Yes. A real person answers 24/7, asks what’s happening and tells you honestly when we can get there.

What should I do before you arrive?

Stay off the roof, catch the water, keep people out from under a sagging ceiling, and turn the power off if water is near fittings and the board is dry to reach. If anyone is in danger, call 000. SES is 132 500.

What does after-hours cost?

After hours there’s a $330 call-out fee, and the minimum charge for a make-safe, repair or patch done on the spot is $550. We’ll confirm the cost on the phone before we head out.
