Practical roofing options for Cranbourne
Cranbourne homes see their share of wind and storm events. Whether you have a tiled or metal roof, regular maintenance and prompt repairs keep your home protected.
Signs your roof needs attention
- Ceiling stains or damp plaster after rain
- Cracked or brittle ridge pointing; slipped or broken tiles
- Rusting sheet laps, loose screws or perished washers on metal roofs
Tile vs metal — what fails and how we fix it
Tiled roofs
- Replace broken tiles and cracked valley cuts
- Re-bed and re-point ridge capping
- Renew flashings around chimneys and penetrations
Metal roofs
- Replace corroded sheets or trims
- Upgrade fixings and seal washers
- Scribe/turn-up flashings to stop wind-driven rain
Repair vs re-roof — making the call
Localised issues are usually repairable. If corrosion is widespread or the roof is nearing end-of-life, replacement often makes more sense than patching.
Painting and restoration
When the roof is sound but tired, restoration and painting can extend its life by 10-15 years.
Maintenance & weather resources
Keep gutters and valleys clear and inspect fasteners every few years. For weather updates, check the Bureau of Meteorology's Melbourne forecast.
