Inner-East Melbourne

Roof repairs in Hawthorn.

Hawthorn is grand period Melbourne: Victorian terraces, Federation villas and Edwardian homes lining streets shaded by old elms and planes. Many of these roofs carry slate, terracotta or early Marseille tile, sit under heritage overlays, and need a roofer who treats them with the care the architecture deserves.

Local knowledge · Inner-East Melbourne

Period roofs, handled with care.

Hawthorn roofs are some of the most demanding in Melbourne. Slate that needs individual slate replacement, ornate terracotta ridge capping, lead flashing around bays and chimneys, and box gutters hidden behind decorative parapets. We work on heritage homes constantly and repair them in keeping with their period.

Hawthorn in detail

Complex Victorian and Edwardian roofs, done sympathetically.

Hawthorn is one of Melbourne’s oldest established suburbs, and its roofs show it: Victorian and Edwardian terraces, grand period homes and converted mansions, much of it inside heritage overlay. Slate, terracotta and ornate parapet detailing are common, along with box gutters and concealed valleys that were never designed for a century of leaf load and now sit at the heart of most leaks we trace here.

Roofs like these need someone who understands how they drain. We re-line and re-fall box gutters, replace perished leadwork at chimneys and parapets, repair or replace slate slipping out of its original nails, and re-point capping without disturbing the heritage lines. We give you honest advice on what can be repaired and what is reaching the end, and we put a fixed price in writing first.
