Tile Roofers In Capalaba

Licensed Tile Roofers In Capalaba

Storm Call Roofing provides tile roof repairs, tile roof restorations, roof replacement and roof installation across Capalaba. Tiled roofs are what we work on day in and day out, so whether yours has lost tiles in a storm, is leaking without an obvious cause, or has simply reached the age where the pointing has gone, you are dealing with people who know the material.

We work on homes, unit blocks and commercial buildings, and we work with body corporates, strata managers and property managers as well as owners. Every inspection comes with a free quote and an honest assessment, which sometimes means telling you a roof has years left in it rather than selling you a restoration you do not need yet.

About Capalaba

Capalaba sits in Redland City about twenty kilometres east of the Brisbane CBD, where the suburbs meet the bushland reserves along Tingalpa Creek. Much of the housing went up through the 1970s and 1980s as brick and tile homes on generous blocks, and a great many of those roofs are still carrying their original concrete tiles.

That age is the thing worth knowing about roofing in Capalaba. A roof bedded and pointed four or five decades ago has usually outlived its mortar long before it has outlived its tiles, so the capping starts letting go while the roof still looks sound from the street.

The mature trees are the other defining feature. The leafy older streets and the reserves along the creek are part of what people like about the suburb, and they are also why valleys and gutters here fill faster than they do in newer, more open estates.

Common Tile Roof Problems On Capalaba Homes

On the older parts of Capalaba the same handful of faults turn up on roof after roof, and almost all of them trace back to roof age and tree cover rather than anything the owner has done wrong.

Cracked and crumbling pointing along the ridge capping, typical of roofs bedded in the 1970s and 1980s
Leaf litter packing out valley irons and gutters, which holds water against the tiles and the valley metal
Moss and lichen on shaded southern slopes, particularly under overhanging branches
Slipped or lifted tiles after summer storms, often where a branch has come down across the roof
Rust in older valley irons where wet debris has been sitting for years
Concrete tiles that have gone porous and soak up water rather than shedding it

None of these need a new roof on their own. Caught early, most are a repair or a restoration rather than a replacement, which is why an inspection is worth having before a leak forces the decision for you.

Roof Restoration On Older Capalaba Roofs

On a Capalaba roof of that era, a restoration usually means much the same sequence of work. The roof is cleaned down, broken and cracked tiles are replaced, the ridge capping is re-bedded and repointed with a flexible pointing compound, and the tiles are sealed so they shed water properly again.

The repointing is the part that matters most. Rigid mortar cracks as the roof moves and heats, and once it has cracked, wind driven rain gets in behind the capping. Flexible pointing is what stops that happening again, and it is why a properly restored roof of this age can go on for years longer.

Where trees are close in, we will also talk to you about what the gutters and valleys are going to need from here. A restored roof under a heavy canopy still needs clearing out, and the valleys are where the damage starts if it is not done.
