Roof Repairs in Cranbourne
Leaks, broken tiles and storm damage repaired by a team based in Cranbourne.
Roof Ready is based in Cranbourne, so a leak here is a short drive for us. We find where the water is actually getting in, show you photos of the fault, and repair it with a 7-Year Warranty on the work we complete.
Family-owned · Licensed & insured tradesmen · After-hours emergency inspections 7 days
Most of the repair calls we take in Cranbourne start with a stain on the ceiling after heavy rain, and the stain is rarely under the fault. Water gets in at a cracked tile, a gap in the pointing or a perished flashing, runs along a batten or a rafter, and drops a room away. Sealing the spot above the stain is how a leak gets “fixed” three times, so we trace it back to where it starts.
Cranbourne has two kinds of roof, and they leak for different reasons. The older tiled homes near the racecourse tend to leak along the ridge line and in the valleys, where the bedding has cracked and the valley irons have rusted. The newer estates out towards Botanic Ridge and Clyde North usually leak at one point: a cracked tile, a flashing around a flue or skylight that has split, or a gutter overflowing back under the roof.
Every repair starts with a free inspection and a free written condition report with photos, then one written quote. If water has damaged the ceiling, the plaster repair and painting go on the same quote. The tradesmen who do the work are licensed and insured, and we work seven days.

Leaking roof repairs in Cranbourne
The usual sources are the same handful every week: cracked or slipped tiles, perished pointing under the ridge caps, a flashing that has split or lifted around a flue, vent, skylight or chimney, a rusted valley iron, or a blocked gutter pushing water back under the bottom row of tiles. We photograph the fault before we touch it, so you can see what was wrong, and we fix the cause rather than sealing over the symptom.
Broken tiles, ridge caps and flashings
Concrete and terracotta tiles are replaced where they have cracked or slipped. Ridge caps that have come loose are re-bedded and re-pointed with a flexible pointing compound that moves with the roof instead of cracking the way rigid mortar does. Flashings around flues, vents, skylights and chimneys are refixed or renewed, and metal and Colorbond roofs are repaired as well as tiled ones. Valley, flashing and gutter work is carried out by licensed roof plumbers.
Storm damage in Cranbourne
Storm damage is handled like any other leak: the fault is found, photographed, written up and quoted. Being based here, we can usually reach a Cranbourne roof sooner than most of the areas we cover. We do not do insurance reports or assessments, but the free written condition report with photos gives you a clear record of what the storm did to the roof.
When a repair is not the answer
A repair fixes a fault. If the inspection shows the pointing has cracked along every ridge and the surface coating has gone porous across the whole roof, patching one spot at a time stops making sense, and a restoration renews all of it at once. We will tell you which one you are looking at, with the photos to show why.

Cranbourne roof repairs — frequently asked questions
How quickly can you look at a leaking roof in Cranbourne?
Being local, Cranbourne is one of the quickest areas for us to reach. Call 1300 402 411 — we will give you an honest timeframe and tell you what to do in the meantime if water is actively coming in.
Why is the stain on my ceiling not under the leak?
Because water rarely drops straight down. It gets in at the fault, runs along a batten, a rafter or the top of the ceiling, and comes through wherever it finally pools. That is why we start on the roof and follow the water back, rather than patching whatever is directly above the stain.
Can you fix a few broken tiles, or do I need a restoration?
A few broken tiles is a repair, and we will quote it as one. A restoration only makes sense when the whole roof has worn out together, and the written report with photos will show you whether yours has.
Do you repair the ceiling as well as the roof?
Yes. Where water has damaged the ceiling, the plaster repair and painting go on the same written quote as the roof repair, done by our own cross-trade team rather than handed to someone else.
What warranty comes with a roof repair?
Repairs carry a 7-Year Warranty on the work we complete, in writing. Roof plumbing work carries a 7-Year Roof Plumbing Warranty.
Are you licensed and insured?
The tradesmen who carry out your repair are licensed and insured, including licensed roof plumbers for flashing, valley, gutter and other roof-plumbing work. Roof Ready is family-owned and based in Cranbourne.
