Frequently Asked Questions
Do whirlybirds really work?
Yes — they draw hot, moist air out of your roof cavity, which can significantly reduce roof-space temperature in summer and cut condensation, mould and odours. They are wind-powered, so they cost nothing to run.
Can you repair a noisy or wind-damaged whirlybird?
We repair, re-secure or replace seized, noisy and wind-damaged whirlybirds, and re-flash around the base so it stays watertight.
How many whirlybirds does my roof need?
As a general guide, up to two whirlybirds per 90m² of roof space gives good ventilation — the exact number depends on your roof size and cavity. We assess your roof and recommend the right number and placement during your free inspection.
How much does it cost to install a whirlybird?
A Colorbond whirlybird supplied and installed typically costs $550 ex GST for the first unit, and each extra unit fitted on the same visit costs less — around $475 for the second, $400 for the third and $325 for the fourth. Your roof type (tile or metal) affects the fitting work. Whirlybirds are wind-powered with no running costs, and we confirm the right number, placement and an exact written quote as part of a free inspection.
Are whirlybirds worth it in Australia?
For most Melbourne homes, yes. They’re wind-powered — so they cost nothing to run — and continuously draw hot air out of the roof cavity in summer and moisture out in winter, reducing heat load, condensation, mould and odours. As a guide, up to two whirlybirds per 90m² of roof space gives good ventilation.
Do plumbers install whirlybirds?
Some do — but the critical part of the job is cutting the roof and flashing the unit correctly for your tile profile or metal sheeting so it stays watertight. That’s roofing work. Roof Ready supplies, installs, replaces and repairs whirlybirds across Melbourne, and every install is flashed and sealed properly.
Will a whirlybird stop condensation?
It makes a real difference. By continuously exhausting humid air from the roof space, whirlybirds reduce the moisture that condenses on the underside of your roof — a common cause of mould and timber damage in Melbourne winters. For the best result the roof cavity needs adequate ventilation overall, which we assess during your free inspection.
