Here’s a recent Ascot Vale slate roofing repair we completed

The owners of this Victorian period home had been keeping up with the maintenance of the original slate roofing for many years.

Overall the roof was in reasonable shape. However during a recent rainstorm they noticed a small drip from the hall ceiling and on closer inspection noticed a stain that had not been there when the ceiling had recently been repainted.

After calling us in, we found that the tapering centre gutter was causing the leak. These gutters run directly above the hallway in many Victorian era homes. In this instance one of the joins underneath had rusted through, allowing small pinholes to form on the top of the gutter allowing it to leak slightly. At this stage the leak was only small but in our past experiences they continue to silently rust until one day during or after heavy or steady rain they let go and cause flooding inside the home.

Sometimes these leaking gutters can be successfully repaired for a while but for long term they need to be completely replaced. The owners in this instance opted for the entire gutter to be replaced in a colorbond metal, to prevent any likelihood of future problems.
