Roofing & Gutter Maintenance in Melbourne

If the roof is dirty but the pointing and tiles are sound, a clean is usually enough; if ridge caps are loose or cracked, the surface has gone porous or the colour has faded badly, restoration is the better fit. Restoration starts with the same wash and moss treatment, then adds repointing or rebedding and a reflective membrane coating. We look at the roof before quoting and tell you which one it needs.

Yes, and that is the order we prefer: roof first, gutters second. Washing a roof pushes moss, grit and old bedding into the gutters, so clearing them afterwards leaves everything running clean. Gutter patching, resealing and gutter guards can be done in the same visit once the gutters are empty.

No. Peak Surfaces maintains and restores existing roofs: cleaning, moss and lichen treatment, ridge cap repointing and rebedding, reflective coatings, and gutter and downpipe work. If we find a roof that is beyond restoring, we tell you plainly so you can bring in the right trade, rather than coating over a problem.

Roof size and pitch, whether the house is single or two-storey, the roof material, how much pointing needs rebedding rather than repointing, whether you want a coating, and how many metres of gutter need clearing or repair. A roof thick with lichen takes longer to wash than one that is simply dusty. Every quote is free and lists each part of the job, so you can choose what to do now and what can wait.

Gutters typically need clearing at least once a year, and more often where gum trees or other large trees overhang the roof. The roof itself is worth a look every few years, or after a season of heavy wind, for cracked or loose pointing, moss and lichen, and gutter joints that have started to drip. Catching these early keeps small jobs small.
