Tile Roofers In Victoria Point

Licensed Tile Roofers In Victoria Point

Storm Call Roofing provides tile roof repairs, tile roof restorations, roof replacement and roof installation across Victoria Point. Tiled roofs are our specialty, and in a suburb largely built out in tile over the past forty years that is most of what there is to work on.

We cover houses, unit complexes and commercial buildings, and we work with body corporates, strata managers and property managers alongside homeowners. Every inspection includes a free quote and a straightforward explanation of what needs doing and what can wait.

About Victoria Point

Victoria Point sits on the southern side of Redland City, between the bay and the wetlands around Point Halloran, and it grew quickly through the 1980s, 1990s and early 2000s. The result is a suburb of large estates where most homes are of a similar age and were built to much the same specification, overwhelmingly with concrete tile roofs.

Roofs built in that window are now at an interesting point. They are not old enough to be obvious candidates for replacement, but they are well past the age where the original bedding and pointing can be relied on, and many are reaching the stage where the tiles have begun to lose their surface coating and take up water.

Being close to the bay, Victoria Point gets its share of salt in the air and a good deal of wind off the water, though not to the degree of the suburbs right on the foreshore. Summer storms coming across the bay are the more immediate concern for roofs here.

Common Tile Roof Problems On Victoria Point Homes

In an estate suburb of this age, neighbours tend to have the same problems at much the same time, which is often how people first notice theirs.

Cracked and failing pointing on ridge capping, right across the 1980s to early 2000s housing stock
Concrete tiles losing their surface coating and becoming porous
Storm damage after summer easterlies, typically broken and dislodged tiles
Leaks around solar mounts, a common issue where panels were fitted to an ageing roof
Gutters and downpipes overwhelmed in heavy rain, pushing water back under the tiles
Patchy or absent sarking on the earlier homes in the suburb

Caught at this stage, most Victoria Point roofs are restoration candidates rather than replacement candidates, which is a very different proposition.

Solar Panels On An Ageing Tiled Roof

A lot of roofs in Victoria Point had solar fitted some years after the house was built, and that combination is behind a lot of the roofing trouble in estate suburbs of this age.

The issue is twofold. Mounting feet are fixed through the roof, so every one of them relies on its flashing to stay watertight, and installers walking a roof of brittle older tiles frequently crack a few on the way through. Neither shows up straight away. Both show up in the first serious downpour afterwards.

It also complicates a restoration, because panels have to come off and go back on to do the work underneath properly. That is manageable, but it is worth knowing before you plan the job rather than afterwards, and it is a good argument for sorting a roof out before putting solar on it rather than after.
