Roof plumbing is a vital component of your roof as it captures and diverts water to ground level. Ineffective roof plumbing systems can cause leaks and overflow issues which may cause damage to ceilings, eaves and the inside of your home.
Sean Kelly, the owner/operator at Roofology, has over 20 years of experience and is known in Perth for his out of the box thinking when it comes to roof plumbing and repairs on both tile and tin roofs.
Sean can find and repair troublesome roof leaks and identify overflow issues that have caused problems for many years, even after numerous attempts to fix them by other trades and builders.
Roofology installs custom Colorbond flashings and box gutters, as well as standard gutters and downpipes to your home or outdoor area.
If you have a roof leak, overflow issue, or any other roofing problem, please get in contact with Chaley to arrange an appointment with Sean.
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 and will provide a quote to repair or replace gutters and downpipes.
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.
We install quality Australian made COLORBOND® and ZINCALUME® steel products. COLORBOND® gutters, fascia and downpipes are available in 22 colours.
Contact us today to arrange an appointment with Sean to assess your roof and guttering system.
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:
- 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 get in contact with us to arrange an appointment with Sean.
Custom Valley Flashings
Valley flashings or valley gutters catch rainwater from each side of the roof elevation, channelling water along the valley and into your gutters. Valley flashings prevent water pooling and leaking into the ceiling and roof cavity below.
Poorly maintained or rusted valleys are a common cause of roof leaks. Leaves can block water flow and divert the water over the edges and onto your ceiling or roof cavity.
Roofology will check your valley flashings for water flow problems, blockages and rust. We specialise in the installation of custom COLORBOND® steel and ZINCALUME® steel valleys, measured on-site during inspection and fabricated at our suppliers.
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.

Roof Inspection and 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.
Your roof requires regular maintenance to keep your family safe and sound all year round. A roof inspection by Roofology before the winter rains will give you peace of mind during storms and heavy downpours.
Sean will investigate any current issues you may have and can also check areas on your roof that commonly cause roof leaks, these include:
- Rusty or overflowing gutters
- Blocked downpipes
- Seals on flashings
- Chimney flashings
- Leaking skylights
- Whirlybirds
- Leaking exhaust fans
- Tek screws
- Rust
Sean will take photos during the inspection and will outline solutions to address any repairs and/or maintenance your roof may need in your quote.
Roofology offers a complete roofing service, and a real understanding of your roofing needs. Get in contact to arrange a roof inspection or ask about our yearly maintenance plan.
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 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 traditional Whirlybirds and roof vents. To book a roof inspection with Sean, please contact us to arrange an appointment.
