Sheet 02Roof anatomy
Pick a part of the roof. You'll get what you'd notice, what's usually behind it and what we do about it. Red shows where the water goes.
Part 1Bedding and pointing
The mortar bedding that holds your ridge tiles weakens and cracks over time, and the flexible pointing on top wears away. Rain gets in at the top of the roof and comes through the plaster somewhere else, often a long way from where it started.
Re-bed the tiles and repoint them, so the top of the roof is solid and sealed again.

Ridge capping is the row of curved tiles along the peak. Once the bedding under it lets go, caps can shift and open up gaps, right at the spot that cops the most weather.
Reset the capping on fresh bedding and point it up. If you've seen mortar in the gutter or on the ground, get it looked at before the next big rain.

A cracked or slipped tile lets water straight through, and a loose batten can pull a tile out of line. From the ground it can all look fine.
Find the damage, change the broken tiles and secure what's underneath. There's a real one in the case file below.

The valley iron is the metal channel that carries water down the join between two roof lines. When it rusts out or packs up with leaves, water backs up under the tiles and often runs down an inside wall.
Replace the valley iron and put the tiles back around it, so the join carries water away like it should.

Leaves and dirt block the gutter, so the water has nowhere to go. It overflows, pools around the house and can end up in your roof, walls and ceilings.
Our high-reach vacuum pulls out the leaves, dirt and debris. No blowers, so there's no mess blown all over your property.

Heat builds up under the tiles with nowhere to go. A whirly bird improves roof ventilation and lets it out. Anything that goes through a roof also needs sealing properly, or it becomes a leak of its own.
Install the whirly bird and seal it in with storm seal.

A real Mifsud job, in the order it happened. The lines in red are the notes written on the job photos.
"Roof leak present"
Look at it. Tiles sitting flat, no obvious break from up top. That's why leaks like this get missed. The shadow is the roofer taking the photo.
"Further investigation"
Tiles come off, and now you can see what's under there: batts, battens, gutter line. Check the batten on the right, sitting at an angle.
"Rectification by securing batten and reinstalled tiles"
Batten secured and running straight, ready for the tiles to go back on it. Fix what's causing it, not just the stain.
"End result!"
Tiles back in line and the roof closed up. You'd never know anyone had been up there, which is how it should be.

Inside it's a stain. Outside it's a repair job.

Damaged tiles, leaks, wear and tear. A pre-purchase roof inspection tells you what you're actually taking on, while you can still do something about it.

Residential and commercial. Pick the line closest to your problem and it goes straight on your quote request.
You've got a stain or a drip and no idea where it's from. We check for worn flashing, damaged tiles and clogged gutters.
QuoteThe mortar under your ridge tiles is cracking or the pointing's eroded.
QuoteThe roof's gone tired. It gets a thorough high-pressure clean first, so the paint goes on a clean surface.
QuoteDirt, moss, algae and lichen have built up. A 4000 PSI washer takes it off.
QuoteThe metal channel between two roof lines has had it, or water's getting in at the join.
QuoteThe roof space holds heat, or something through the roof needs a proper seal.
QuoteGutters overflow when it rains. High-reach vacuum, no blowers, no mess over your property.
