Cheltenham roofs and conditions
Much of Cheltenham was built in the 1950s and 60s: brick veneers and weatherboards with concrete tile, terracotta or iron roofs, often without sarking. These roofs leak first at ridges, valleys and around chimneys.
Subdivision has turned many of those blocks into two- and three-townhouse developments. Townhouses commonly have low-pitch Colorbond® roofs, parapet walls and box gutters that rely on clear outlets and good flashings.
Being a couple of kilometres from the bay, Cheltenham gets salty air on onshore winds — not as harsh as the beachfront, but enough to speed up rust on older gutters, valleys and fixings.
Older trees in the streets around Cheltenham Park and toward Highett drop leaves into gutters, and overflow is often mistaken for a roof leak.
Roof repairs we commonly organise in Cheltenham
Townhouse box gutter and parapet leaks
Blocked outlets, failed box gutter joints and flashings at parapet walls let water into ceilings and walls on townhouses. Clearing, resealing or replacing the box gutter and checking overflow provisions is the usual fix.
Post-war tile roof repairs
Rebedding and repointing ridges, replacing cracked tiles and re-flashing chimneys on 60- to 70-year-old roofs stops most leaks without a full replacement.
Rusted gutters and valleys
Bayside air plus age means many original gutters and valleys are rusting through. Replacing them in Colorbond® or Zincalume® is a common job.
Owners corporation roof repairs
For units and townhouses with shared roofs, we organise an inspection and a written scope that can go to the owners corporation or other owners.
Cheltenham-specific note
If you’re in a townhouse, the leak may start on a shared roof or box gutter — mention that in your enquiry. You enquire once and we organise our roofing partner to inspect and scope the repair, not a marketplace of quotes. Licence and insurance are confirmed at scoping.

Roofing Cheltenham FAQs
Why is my Cheltenham townhouse leaking near a wall? ▾
Leaks near walls on townhouses often come from parapet flashings or a box gutter that has blocked or failed at a joint. A roofer can trace the source and quote the repair; photos of the stain and the roof help.
Do you cover Highett, Mentone and Heatherton? ▾
Yes, Cheltenham and nearby suburbs including Highett, Mentone, Heatherton, Mordialloc, Sandringham, Black Rock and Beaumaris are fine. Put your suburb on the form or call 0485 008 178.
Can my old Cheltenham roof be repaired rather than replaced? ▾
Often, yes. Many post-war roofs leak at the ridges, valleys or chimney, which are repairable. If tiles or iron are failing across the whole roof, replacement may be the better long-term spend. The inspection decides.
Can you provide a scope for our owners corporation? ▾
Yes. After the inspection the scope can be shared with the owners corporation or other owners so a decision can be made on shared roof repairs.
