Roof Repairs in Pakenham

Family-owned · Licensed & insured tradesmen · After-hours emergency inspections 7 days
Pakenham catches wind and driving rain off open ground that more sheltered suburbs are spared, and the repairs we do here show it. Ridge caps lift, tiles get dislodged along the edges of the roof, and flashings around vents and chimneys work loose sooner than you would expect for the age of the house.
Wind-driven rain finds faults that ordinary rain does not. A roof can stay dry for months and then leak in one storm, because the rain is being pushed sideways under a lifted ridge cap or past a flashing that has pulled away. That is why we inspect the whole roof, not just the spot above the stain, and why the written report covers everything we found.
We work seven days, the tradesmen on your roof are licensed and insured, and every repair we complete is covered by a written 7-Year Warranty.

Storm damage repairs in Pakenham
After a storm the damage is usually at the edges and the top of the roof: ridge caps lifted or cracked, tiles dislodged along the gutter line and the barge, and flashings pulled away from vents and chimneys. We make a record of all of it with photos, replace and refix what has moved, and put the whole job in one written quote. We do not do insurance reports or assessments, but the written condition report gives you a clear record of what the storm did.
Ridge cap repairs after a storm
A lifted section of ridge line does not need a full restoration. The affected caps are re-bedded and re-pointed with a flexible pointing compound that moves with the roof, which is what lets it ride out the next storm instead of cracking again. While we are up there we check the rest of the ridge and tell you if any of it is close to going.
Leaks on newer Pakenham homes
The estates built over the last fifteen years mostly need a check of the ridge line and a repair to whatever has shifted, rather than a restoration. The common faults are a cracked tile, a valley or gutter blocked with debris, or a seal around a vent or skylight that has failed. They are small jobs, and we quote them as small jobs.
Repair now, restore later
On an older Pakenham roof a storm repair often shows that the rest of the bedding and the surface coating are near the end of their life too. Fixing the damage is the priority, and it does not commit you to anything else. When you are ready, a restoration renews the whole roof under a 12-Year Workmanship Warranty.

Pakenham roof repairs — frequently asked questions
My ridge caps lifted in a storm — can you fix just that?
Yes. Re-bedding and re-pointing a section of ridge line is a common Pakenham repair and does not require a full restoration. We will check the rest of the roof while we are up there and tell you if anything else needs attention.
Do you handle insurance work for storm damage?
We do the roofing work, not insurance reports or assessments. What you get from us is a free written roof condition report with photos of the damage and a written quote for the repair, so there is a clear record of what the storm actually did. Anything your insurer needs beyond that is between you and them.
Why does my roof only leak in a storm?
Because a storm drives rain sideways and upwards, into gaps that ordinary rain runs straight past. A lifted ridge cap, a flashing that has pulled away or a tile that has shifted a few millimetres can stay dry for months and then let water in on the first windy night. That is the fault to find, and the inspection finds it.
Do you repair metal and Colorbond roofs as well as tiles?
Yes. On a metal roof the repairs are different, such as loose or rusted fixings, lifted sheets and failed flashings, but the approach is the same: find the cause, photograph it, then fix it.
What warranty comes with a Pakenham roof repair?
Every repair we complete is covered by a 7-Year Warranty, given in writing with the quote. Where the job includes roof plumbing, such as a valley or a flashing, that part carries the 7-Year Roof Plumbing Warranty.
Are you licensed and insured?
The people who carry out your repair are licensed and insured tradesmen, and any valley, flashing or gutter work is done by licensed roof plumbers. Roof Ready itself is family-owned and based in Cranbourne.
