Roof leaks are frustrating for owners and finding the source of the leak is not always an easy task.
Roof leaks can be caused by storm damage, lack of maintenance, sub-standard workmanship of other trades,
design flaws, or a combination of all the above.
Sean Kelly, the owner/operator of Roofology, has extensive experience in the roof tiling and roof plumbing industry.
Sean follows a step-by-step process when troubleshooting roof leaks, which starts with a thorough on-site inspection
and includes photos of potential roofing issues.
Roofology offer long-term solutions, rather than a quick fix and patch up job which may cause bigger problems in the future.
If you have a roof leak, overflow issue, or need honest and expert advice about your roofing problem, please get in contact with Chaley to arrange an appointment with Sean.
Gutters and Downpipes
Gutters and downpipes are an essential part of your roof plumbing system, diverting water off the roof to ground level. Heavy rainfall, strong winds and trees may cause damage and impact the effectiveness of your guttering system.
Blocked gutters and downpipes can lead to flooded eaves and ceiling spaces. It is important that your gutters and downpipes are clear of leaves and debris before the winter rains.
If your gutters and downpipes are blocked, rusted, leaking or overflowing, Roofology will do an onsite assessment, provide expert advice and solutions to improve your roof guttering system.
Roofology will provide a quote to repair or replace gutters and downpipes on tile and metal roofs. Tile ridge capping is sometimes disturbed during installation and any disturbed ridge capping is repointed as part of our service.
We order materials to length to minimise unneeded joins and make the corners on-site for the perfect finish. Roofology safely and sustainably dispose of your old gutters and downpipes, leaving your property neat and tidy once the job is done.
Roofology install quality Australian made COLORBOND® and ZINCALUME® steel products. COLORBOND® gutter, fascia and downpipes are available in 22 colours.

Ridge Capping Repairs
Roofology offers a full range of roof tiling services including,
re-pointing, ridge capping repairs, roof repairs and maintenance.
As your roof ages, the pointing cement cracks due to roof movement, varying temperature conditions and human traffic on the roof.
Re-pointing ridge capping adds an outer layer of flexible cement around the sides and collars of the ridge caps.
When re-pointing your roof, Roofology cleans the pre-existing pointing of moss, lichen and dirt and a new layer of flexible pointing is applied.
Roofology uses Starpoint flexible pointing, a special formula that will flex with the natural movements of your roof, with minimal cracking and colour fade over time.
Re-pointing ridge capping can add years to the life of your existing roof and the flexible pointing will prevent water entry and will ensure that the ridge caps are secure and will not dislodge in high winds.
Sean takes great pride in all his roofing work and completes all his roofing work to a high standard. Roofology will make your roof look as good as new and fix any small problems that could become more serious down the track.

Custom Box Gutters
A box gutter is designed to cope with larger volumes of water than standard gutters and direct water to the external perimeter of the roof, into the downpipes or outlets.
Box gutters are commonly used on flat roofs, behind parapet walls, and other architectural building features where the wall goes up higher than the gutter line. Box gutters can also be used in your patio or outdoor area if they share the gutter with your home.
Roofology design and install custom COLORBOND® steel and ZINCALUME® steel box gutters, measured on-site during the inspection and fabricated at our suppliers. Sean installs the box gutter on a slope toward the outlet or downpipe to prevent ponding and overflow into the roof cavity.
All box gutters Roofology install are custom ordered and measured to size for your roof. Roofology safely and sustainably dispose of your old box gutter, leaving your property neat and tidy once the job is done.
It is important to keep your box gutters well maintained and clean from leaves and debris to ensure the life of your box gutter and protect your home from any potential overflow caused by blockages.
If you have a box gutter problem, roof leak or overflow issue, please contact us to arrange an appointment with Sean.
Custom Roof Flashings
Roof flashings are an essential part of your roof guttering system and are an important part of building structures. When correctly designed and fitted, flashings ensure a smooth and seamless finish. Flashings also provide a safeguard against water and prevent leaks around chimneys, joins and pipes.
Roofology can repair, replace and install custom roof flashings, ensuring the structure remains completely weatherproof.
Common flashings include:
- Valley flashing
- Apron flashing
- Chimney flashing
- Cover flashing
- Corner mould flashing
Roofology design and install custom COLORBOND® steel and ZINCALUME® steel flashings, measured on-site during the inspection and fabricated at our suppliers. COLORBOND® flashings are available in 22 colours that will complement your gutters, roof and building exterior.
All valleys Roofology install are custom ordered and measured to size for your roof. Roofology safely and sustainably dispose of your old flashings, leaving your property neat and tidy once the job is done.
If you have any roof flashing problem, roof leak or any other roofing troubles, please contact us to arrange an appointment with Sean.
Roof Ventilation
Roof vents are an important element of roofing, and effective roof ventilation can extend the life of the roofing material in the roof.
Effective roof ventilation will reduce your energy consumption and save you money whilst making your home more comfortable to live in. Which means you'll have a cooler house in summer and a dryer roof space in winter.
To properly ventilate a roof cavity, you need intake vents to allow fresh air into the roof space and exhaust vents to leave the roof space.
Roofology recommends and installs Universal Roof Ventilators, which are designed with passive venturi principals for advanced roof space ventilation for both tiled and metal roofs.
The Universal Tile Ventilator System and the Smoothline Systems have an inlet vent and an outlet vent within the roof covering that work effectively in unison within their own system.
Roofology also install Whirlybirds and ridge vents. To book a roof inspection with Sean, please contact us to arrange an appointment.
Roof Maintenance
Your roof is one of the most important parts of your home and is the first line of defence against the harsh Australian climate. Your roof keeps you dry and warm through winter and protects you against the heat in summer.
Whether your roof is tile or tin, your roof requires regular maintenance to keep your family safe and sound all year round.
Keeping your roof maintained by a roofing professional will give you peace of mind during storms and heavy downpours.
As a roof tiler and roof plumber, Sean offers a complete roofing service, and a real understanding of your roofing maintenance needs.
Honest and reliable, Sean is committed to delivering the highest quality workmanship using only quality products and materials.
Get in contact to arrange a roof inspection or ask about our yearly maintenance plan.
Insurance Repairs
It is common for people to call their insurance companies when they get a roof leak during a storm or heavy downpour of rain.
When insurance companies assess the damage and cause of the roof leak, they often find that it is a roof maintenance issue rather than storm damage.
Storm damage is damage to your roof caused by a storm or a weather event. This could include a tree falling on your roof during a storm, hail damage to your roof or strong winds lifting and displacing tiles and roof sheets.
When the cause of the roof leak is deemed to be a roof maintenance issue, your insurance company may cover the cost to repair any internal damage caused by water.
However, your insurance company may not cover the cost to rectify the roof issues if they consider roof maintenance to be the cause of the roof leak.
Whether it is a maintenance issue or storm damage, Roofology can provide a thorough inspection and assessment. We will provide a quote for repairs or maintenance needed to resolve the issue, so it does not happen again in the future.
For any insurance claims or enquiries, you should always speak directly with your insurer about your insurance policy and your policy coverage for storm and water damage to your property.
If you would like Sean to assess your roofing problems that have caused roof leaks during a storm or weather event, please contact us to arrange an appointment with Sean.
Broken Roof Tiles
Broken roof tiles can be an unexpected surprise when the rain arrives.
A roof inspection is recommended if you or other tradesmen have been on the roof. Not all people realise they have broken roof tiles, or if they do, not everyone replaces the broken roof tiles.
Silicone can be used as a temporary fix, however broken tiles should be replaced to prevent leaking in the future.
Whatever the case, Roofology will be able to replace your broken roof tiles and match the tiles to your roof.
Contact Roofology to find the cause of your roof leak and fix it properly.
