We install and replace drip flashing across Melbourne, repairing worn or damaged roof edges with solutions that suit the existing roofing system and help prevent future leaks.
A lot of the jobs we attend involve older roofs where the metal around the roof edge has started rusting, lifting or pulling away. Sometimes it’s just the age of the roof, other times it’s because different repairs have been done over the years without everything matching back into the original roofing.
Every roof tells a different story. Some have had extensions added, some have been repaired several times and others have simply been exposed to Melbourne weather for decades. Because of that, we don’t expect every roof edge to need the same repair.
Leaks around the edge of a roof don’t always show up where the problem actually is. Water has a habit of travelling before it appears inside, which is why a stain on the ceiling doesn’t necessarily mean the flashing directly above it is the only thing worth looking at.
When we’re replacing drip flashing, we normally spend a bit of time looking over the surrounding roof while we’re already there. It’s pretty common to find another section that’s beginning to go the same way. Sorting it while everything is already accessible usually saves another visit later.
Once the new flashing is in place, the roof edge is simply back to doing what it was built to do. The aim isn’t to make the repair stand out. It should just become another part of the roof that quietly does its job every time it rains.
Most of the drip flashing we replace has reached the point where patching it no longer makes much sense. A replacement gives the roof edge a fresh start and usually proves to be the better option over the long run.
If you’ve noticed leaks or signs of damage around the edge of your roof, our team can inspect the flashing and recommend the most suitable repair or replacement.
