Why Ridge Capping Repairs Matter in Adelaide?
Adelaide’s climate swings from scorching summers to sudden winter downpours, causing roof movement and mortar deterioration. If ridge movement is causing overflow or drainage issues, you may also need our re-guttering Adelaide services to prevent further water damage. Ridge caps are the first part of your roof to show wear — and the most important to repair.

Q: Can ridge capping damage lead to other issues with the roof?
Absolutely. If left unchecked, cracked ridge caps allow water in, which can damage insulation, ceilings, and even your walls.
Q: How much does ridge capping repair cost in Adelaide?
It depends on roof size and condition, but most jobs range between $600 and $2,000.
Q: Do I need full roof restoration to fix ridge capping?
Not necessarily. If the rest of your roof is in good nick, we can just fix the ridge capping.
Q: How long does a ridge capping repair job take?
Usually 1–2 days max. Larger or steeper roofs might take a bit longer.
Q: Is ridge capping repair messy?
Not on our watch. We clean up everything before we leave—no broken tiles or mortar left behind.
Q: Can I wait till next season to fix ridge capping?
You can, but we wouldn’t recommend it. Adelaide’s next storm could turn a minor crack into a major leak.

I HAVE A LEAKING ROOF DO I HAVE WARANTY ON FIXED LEAKS?
We regret to inform you that we cannot provide a warranty specifically for roof leaks. Roof leaks can
be exceptionally challenging to detect and diagnose due to a variety of factors, including:
1. Complexity of Detection: Roof leaks often originate from hidden or unexpected areas, making it
difficult to pinpoint the exact source without comprehensive and sometimes invasive investigation.
2. Environmental Factors: Roofs are exposed to various weather conditions, such as heavy rain
and wind, which can unpredictably impact the roof's integrity over time.
3. Material Aging and Wear: Over time, roofing materials naturally age and may develop
weaknesses that are not immediately apparent during inspections. Can be very difficult and time
consuming to detect.
4. Previous Repairs and Installations: The condition and quality of previous repairs or installations
can significantly influence the occurrence and detection of leaks, adding complexity to warranty
coverage.
Despite these challenges, please be assured that our team is committed to addressing any roof leaks
that may arise. We will always work to our best ability to identify and solve roof leaks promptly and
effectively, ensuring the longevity and performance of your roof.
I WANT TO INSTALL SOLAR PANELS WHATS THE BEST PROCESS TO HAVE MY ROOF FIXED BEFORE SOLAR IS INSTALLED?
The best process to do this is to have your roof high pressure washed first. After this is done contact
your solar company and ask them to install rails and wiring. When this is finished, we will fully restore
the roof and leave you with spare coated tiles and touch up paint. The solar company final task to
connect the panels to the railing.
MY ROOF HAS SOLAR PANELS ON THEM. CAN MY ROOF STILL BE RESTORED?
Yes, he majority of roof we restore now days do have solar panels. We high pressure the roof and
rinse all panels. When it’s time for painting we cover all panels with a plastic film and paint underneath
the panels, so all visible tiles are coated with primer and colour.
MY ROOFTILES ARE PORUOUS HOW CAN WE ACHIEVE A GOOD PAINT FINISH?
If your tiles are porous this means that they are retaining water which adds significant weight to your
roof and roofing timbers, leading to potential leaks and structural issues. To prevent this we apply a
maxi build primer to the rooftiles when painting. This Ensures that the tiles are coated very thick. All
cracks and rough surfaces on the tiles are filled in turn giving the finish much more appealing and
bolder.
WHY DO MY SOLAR PANNELS NEED REGULAR CLEANING?
All solar panels rely on a clean surface to be able to work to their optimum capacity. When the surface
gets dirty it restricts the panels’ ability to capture sunlight efficiently and will therefore not produce as
much electricity. Regular cleaning is not only advised for productivity of the panel but also in most
cases to adhere to warranty requirements Aswell.
WHATS THE PURPOSE OF WHIRLY VENTS?
Whirly vents help your roof space breathe, in turn saving you money on your energy costs.
What’s the average cost for roof repair in Adelaide?
Roof repairs typically start from $250 for minor tile fixes, while more extensive jobs or full restorations can range from $2,500 to $10,000 depending on roof size and condition.
