Roofing Mentone
Mentone runs from the beach and Beach Road back across the sandbelt to Mentone station, the shops and Kingston’s heathland reserves. Homes range from Edwardian and interwar houses near the beach to post-war brick, 1960s–70s blocks of units and a growing number of townhouses on subdivided lots. Enquire here with your street, the building type and a photo — we’ll organise a roofer for an inspection and free quote.

Mentone roofs and conditions
Homes within a few streets of Beach Road get salt spray on onshore winds. Galvanised gutters, valley irons and screws rust faster here, so it is worth choosing materials and fixings rated for coastal exposure when replacing them.
Mentone has many 1960s and 70s blocks of units with long shared roofs and gutters. These are usually common property, so the owners corporation arranges repairs, and access across several units needs to be planned.
Subdivision has added townhouses with low-pitch Colorbond® roofs, parapets and box gutters. Outlets and overflows that are too small or blocked by sand and leaves are a common cause of internal leaks.
Older Edwardian and interwar homes near the beach have terracotta and some slate roofs. Ridges, valleys and chimney flashings usually fail before the tiles themselves, and these homes can also have asbestos in eaves or flues.

Roofing Mentone FAQs
Why do the gutters on my Mentone home rust so quickly? ▾
Salt carried in on sea breezes speeds up corrosion on galvanised steel and standard fixings, especially within a few streets of the beach. Replacing them with materials and fixings rated for coastal exposure helps them last longer.
Is the roof on my Mentone unit my responsibility or the owners corporation’s? ▾
In most unit blocks the roof and gutters are common property, so the owners corporation is responsible. Report the leak to your manager or committee with photos. They can enquire here for an inspection and scope.
Do you cover Parkdale, Mordialloc and Cheltenham? ▾
Yes, Mentone and nearby suburbs including Parkdale, Mordialloc, Cheltenham, Beaumaris and Highett are fine. Put your suburb on the form or call 0485 008 178.
Water comes in near the front parapet of my Mentone townhouse — why? ▾
Usually the box gutter behind the parapet or its outlet is blocked or too small, so water backs up inside. Sand and leaves make it worse. A roofer can clear it, reseal it and add an overflow if needed.
