Roof repairs in St Johns Park

Detached houses, long-term owners

St Johns Park is overwhelmingly detached housing. At the last detailed count, more than nine in ten dwellings were separate houses, and a high share are owned outright rather than rented.

That ownership pattern shows up on the roofs. Houses that have been in the same hands for thirty or forty years have usually been extended, more than once. A room on the back. A patio enclosed. A carport. A workshop or garage joined on at the side.

Each of those is a new roof junction tied into the original tiles, and junctions are where water gets in.

Clear Paddock Creek

Clear Paddock Creek runs past the suburb, and a stretch of it was converted from a concrete stormwater channel back into a living stream, with reserves along the corridor.

For nearby houses that means more trees and more leaf load into gutters and valleys. It also means the local stormwater system is worth understanding: a downpipe that discharges onto the ground rather than into a connected line sends water somewhere it was not meant to go.

What we typically do here

• Re-flash the junction where an extension, patio or carport meets the house
• Rebed and repoint ridge and hip caps
• Replace rusted valleys and broken tiles
• Replace gutters, correct falls and add downpipes
• Clean, prime and recoat sound concrete tile roofs
• Full re-roofs where the tiles have broken down
