Local knowledge · Inner-East Melbourne

Period detail, done properly.

Malvern roofs lean grand and old: terracotta and slate on Edwardian and Federation homes, decorative ridge capping, lead-flashed chimneys and the occasional box gutter behind a parapet. The common faults are perished pointing, tired lead flashing and valleys that have rusted after decades.

Malvern in detail

Grand period roofs, restored properly.

Malvern and Malvern East are known for their grand Victorian, Edwardian and inter-war homes, many substantial and heritage-protected. Roofs here are commonly slate and high-quality terracotta with elaborate ridging, hips and valleys, and they reward careful restoration far more than a quick re-coat. The bedding under the capping has usually perished, and original valley irons and leadwork are corroding.

We treat these roofs as the assets they are. We re-bed and re-point ridge and hip capping by hand, replace rusted valleys and chimney flashing, repair slipped or broken slate and tile, and keep the period detailing intact throughout. You get an honest assessment of whether restoration or replacement is the right call, and a fixed written quote before any work begins.
