How fast can you respond to an emergency in Sorrento?

For active leaks and storm damage we aim to attend within 2–4 hours during business hours, or first thing next morning for after-hours calls. Call 03 4152 7766 immediately.

Do you charge call-out fees?

Yes — our emergency call-out is a fixed fee that covers the initial visit, leak containment and assessment. If you proceed with repairs, the call-out is credited against the repair cost.

Do you provide emergency tarping?

Yes. When a permanent repair isn't immediately possible, we install heavy-duty tarps to prevent further water damage.

Do you work with insurance?

Yes. We provide detailed written reports and photos for your insurance assessor, and can bill direct to most insurers.

Do you work after hours?

Yes — genuine emergencies (active leaks during heavy rain, storm damage) are handled after hours where possible. Call 03 4152 7766 and we'll triage.

Sorrento's Coastal Conditions Matter

Sorrento homes face specific roofing challenges — salt air accelerates corrosion of metal fittings, southerly changes drive wind-uplift on poorly-secured tiles, and winter moss holds moisture against the surface year-round. We specify coastal-grade fasteners and coatings on every Sorrento job because we've seen what happens when cheaper spec is used within a few kilometres of the bay.
