Bushfire Overlay

Barrington Slate / Slate

Wonga Park

Cedar Shingle to Barrington Tile Roof Replacement, Wonga Park

The Constraint
Ageing cedar shingles on a stone-walled bush property inside a Bushfire Management Overlay, where the original material could not remain.

The Call
Replace in Barrington rather than like-for-like, because the overlay set the performance requirement and the environment picked the material.

Heritage Overlay
Church

Terracotta

Kew

Heritage Terracotta Roof Restoration

The Constraint
A large historic church roof with failing metalwork and water ingress, on pitches steep enough that access was a project on its own.

The Call
Preserve the original terracotta and rebuild everything under it, and specifically recommend against cleaning, because on this building the weathering is the character.

Carlton

Heritage Slate Roof Replacement in Carlton

The Constraint
A period townhouse where years of patch repairs had degraded the detailing, with recurring leaks and tired drainage.

The Call
Full replacement in Glendyne rather than another repair, because the roof had stopped reading as one roof.

Coastal Location

Middle Park

Heritage Slate Roof Replacement for Coastal Conditions – Middle Park VIC

The Constraint
A period home in a Port Phillip heritage overlay a few streets from the bay, where the overlay controls the appearance and the salt attacks everything underneath it.

The Call
Rebuild the whole system in corrosion-resistant metal with marine-grade fixings, and lay a non-porous covering, because coastal roofs fail at the fixings and not the tiles.

Heritage Overlay
School

Heritage / Terracotta

Balwyn

Heritage Terracotta Roof Replacement – Fintona Girls’ School, Balwyn

The Constraint
A landmark school roof in a Boroondara heritage overlay where the original terracotta could not be matched, inside a two-week school holiday window.

The Call
Full replacement rather than progressive patching, because unmatchable tile means every future repair is visible, and the original picket ridge was retained and reinstated.

SS Del Carmen Spanish Slate

Heritage / Slate

Surrey Hills

Heritage Slate Roof Replacement in Surrey Hills

The Constraint
A vacant period home where water ingress ran for years with nobody living under it to notice, and the roof was past repair.

The Call
Rebuild the system and lay Spanish slate in banded decorative courses, with every shaped slate cut on site against the roof as it actually is.

1912 Federation

-
Heritage / Slate
-
Malvern

Heritage Slate Roof Replacement for a 1912 Federation Home – Malvern

The Constraint
A 1912 Federation home needing full slate renewal that had to preserve a protected street frontage while tying into a modern extension behind it.

The Call
Detail the junction so the two structures move independently rather than making the slate carry the load, leaving no visible seam between old and new.

Carlton

Heritage Slate Roof Repairs in Carlton

The Constraint
A period terrace leaking at valleys and ridge lines, with slipped slates over occupied ceilings and matched replacement slate difficult to source.

The Call
Trace and seal the leak paths rather than re-roof, because the slate itself was sound and replacing it would have lost more than it fixed.
