Ridge Capping Repairs
As your roof ages, the pointing cement cracks due to roof movement, varying temperature conditions and human traffic on the roof, which can cause roof leaks.
Re-pointing ridge capping adds an outer layer of flexible cement around the sides and collars of the ridge caps. Over time, the cement underneath the ridge caps can deteriorate to the extent that the ridge caps need to be removed completely and bedded down on a new layer of cement. Once the ridge caps have been re-bedded, the ridge capping is re-pointed in flexible pointing.
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 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.
If you have a roof leak, overflow issue, or any other roofing problem, please contact us to arrange an appointment with Sean.
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:
- Broken roof tiles
- Cracked pointing (mortar)
- Broken ridge capping
- Lead flashings
- Rusty valleys
- Secret gutters
- Chimney flashings
- Leaking exhaust fans
- Leaking skylights
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
Custom Secret Gutters
Secret gutters or under flashings are commonly found on tiled roofs and are installed under the tiles close to a wall to capture and divert water to the guttering system.
Poorly maintained or rusted secret gutters 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 secret gutters for blockages and rust, as well as assess the volume of water the gutter is capturing and whether the gutter can cope. Roofology can repair, replace and install custom secret gutters, ensuring the structure remains completely weatherproof.
Roofology design and install custom COLORBOND® steel and ZINCALUME® steel secret gutters, measured on-site during inspection and fabricated at our suppliers.
All secret gutters Roofology install are custom ordered and measured to size for your roof. Roofology safely and sustainably dispose of your old secret gutters, leaving your property neat and tidy once the job is done.
If you have a roof leak, overflow issue, or any other roofing problem, please get in contact 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.
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 also 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 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 for roof ventilation. To book a roof inspection with Sean, please contact us to arrange an appointment.
If you notice any damage to your roof tiles or ridge capping, be sure to contact us right away.
