Roofing Keilor

Keilor roofs and conditions

Keilor sits on open basalt plains with deep river valleys cut through them. Homes along the ridges and valley edges above the Maribyrnong and Steele Creek take the full force of northerly and westerly winds, which loosen ridge capping, crack old bedding and lift flashings.

Much of Keilor East and Keilor Downs was built in the 1960s to 80s. Those concrete tile roofs are now 40 to 60 years old, with worn coatings, cracked ridges and rusted valleys. Many of the large brick homes have multiple hips and valleys, so there are more joints to maintain.

Large blocks often have big garages, sheds, carports and patios added over time, each with its own roof and gutter. Where these meet the house, the flashings and box gutters are frequent leak points.

Parts of Keilor near Melbourne Airport are covered by the Melbourne Airport Environs Overlay. It mainly affects new dwellings and some additions rather than repairs, but it is worth checking with the City of Brimbank before a large extension or rebuild.
