Sydney Roof Repairs
None of us needs to be reminded of the importance of having a roof over our heads. However, as a roof plumber in the Northern suburbs, we’ve seen first-hand how often it is taken for granted. Until things go very wrong.
It is essential to attend to a leak, blockage, hole or any other damage on your roof immediately, no matter how inconsequential it might seem. More often than not, it’s your first and only sign of a much bigger issue looming.

Josh Tobin2023-06-10Great service for our plumbing, Matt was an excellent professional and sorted out our plumbing quick and cleanly (wore clean covers for his boots). And then when we had a small follow up issues he was there the next day to solve it. Just good professional plumbing. Will definitely use again
Thomas Frenkel2023-05-05I received great customer service from Killara & Rose Bay Plumbing. Sherwyn the plumber arrived on time, was professional, friendly, and clearly explained what the problem was and potential solutions. I would recommend this company for your plumbing needs.
Georgie Antaw2023-03-20Definitely the best plumbing service we have used to date, and will no longer use another service. Our hot water system needed replacing and from the first call this was dealt with so seamlessly. The old unit was taken away, new unit installed, an electrician organized, all within a few hours. Amazing! No mess was left behind, which I’ve never experienced from a trade, was an added bonus. No hesitation in recommending. I can see why Killara Plumbing have so many positive reviews.

Amanda Sojan2023-02-15Matt attended our property today to help unblock our storm water drains. He was very thorough and knowledgeable providing great advice. He took me though the process providing photos and video to help me understand the extent of the issue. He provided great service and I would highly recommend Killara plumbing for any plumbing service and Matt. Thanks for your great work.
marika varady2023-01-16Claude was amazing and went above and beyond to make sure that all my toilet and shower issues were totally fixed. Both my toilets are old and needed various repairs and replacement of cistern, pipes and other elements. The shower now works beautifully. He was courteous and explained everything thoroughly. He cleaned up thoroughly before he left. I wish I had had this done ages ago. Thank you Claude for an outstanding job! M
Meredith Lim2022-09-25Both Matt and Claude provided 1st class plumbing services. They were extremely proficient and very knowledgeable in their work - the tap work was replaced in my shower. My shower is now working fantastic! I was even educated on how to turn both my gas and hot and cold water off at the main in an emergency. Matt and Claude left my place neat and tidy and had excellent Customer Service. They were very polite and had a friendly manner.

Why are roof leaks a serious problem?
Assuming you don’t have an emergency, you still potentially have a significant problem on your hands. What you see is only part of the picture – we’re sorry to say that the damage is likely far worse underneath the fascia. Rot, condensation and dampness can have serious consequences on the integrity of your home’s structural timber.
Signs you need a professional roof plumber
Call us for your Northern Beaches roof repairs if you detect any of the following:
- Mould
- Water patches on the roof (a sign of water build-up)
- Water spots on the walls outside (often an indication that your step flashing, the area where the wall meets the roof, is compromised)
- Tile breakages
- Gutters, downspouts, tiling or shingle damage
- Ceiling bulges
There are some key reasons you would want a professional undertaking this work instead of embarking on a DIY project.
- Infrastructure that collects and distributes stormwater needs to work efficiently. It should either serve as a resource for you (e.g. watering the garden) or be channelled to the main drainage system for appropriate processing.
- Effectively harnessing stormwater can save you significant costs in water fees.
- A lot of roof and gutter work requires mandatory skills and accreditation.
- Your insurance company is unlikely to cover you for any amateur work that leads to further damage or an entirely new plumbing or structural problem.
With the above in mind, rely on a maintenance plumber from the Killara team!

What is roof repair?
Age, weather conditions, poor installation and accidents can all result in a roof requiring repair or replacement. Proper repair includes the identification of the root cause, thoroughly assessing the damage, and then using the correct parts and processes to restore function and integrity.
What are some common reasons for roof repair?
Many reasons might call for this line of work. Cracked seals around vents, flashing (the metal strips and pieces installed around joints, skylights etc.), chimneys and deteriorating material can lead to roof leaks and mould build-up. Damaged or entirely missing tiles or shingles can compromise the roof’s ability to shed water and therefore protect the underlying structure. Gutters and downspouts may come loose or damaged and, in doing so, compromise water drainage. Poor quality or badly installed insulation and ventilation can compromise the roof’s health and ability to protect.
How do I know if I need roof repair?
The more obvious signs that you need roof repair include leaks, water stains or build-up, mould issues, missing or damaged tiles and shingles, a sagging or deteriorating roof, obvious wear and tear, such as cracking, caulking or loose objects, and excessive granule loss from shingles. More subtle indications can include the age of the roof and increasing energy bills (as a result of poor ventilation and insulation).
Can I repair my own roof?
We do not recommend you repair your own roof as this can be extremely dangerous work. The Killara Plumbing team has full Working With Height accreditation. We come with the necessary tools and processes that help ensure our safety and that of everyone in the household. Notably, an insurance company is unlikely to cover any DIY work linked to subsequent accidents or damage.
How much does roof repair cost?
It depends on the scale of work required. However, Killara Plumbing maintains transparent and clear costings for all activity undertaken, and we seek your approval before any work is conducted. As a result, there are no billing surprises for anyone!
How long does roof repair take?
Again, this all depends on the nature and scale of work required. One of our team members will conduct a full inspection and provide you with a clear timeline.
Can I prevent the need for roof repair?
- The good news is you can be proactive in helping to minimise the need for roof repairs. Regularly maintain and clean your gutters and downspouts, especially after a storm or during and at the end of Autumn.
- Keep nearby trees trimmed and away from the area.
- Ensure adequate, good-quality insulation and ventilation.
- Keep an eye open for mould or algae and remove before they start to cause roof deterioration.
- If you notice the need for repair work, organise it sooner rather than later. Don’t let it snowball into a bigger issue or an emergency plumbing job.
- Finally – call one of our professional plumbers and organise an annual roof inspection. Prevention is better than cure, especially when discussing something as big and significant as a roof!
