Bellevue Hill homes are among the largest in the Eastern Suburbs, and their roofs reflect it: several levels, long valleys, slate or terracotta, and decorative details that need matching. Steep blocks and height make access part of every job here.
A large roof with many sections has long valleys and many junctions between levels. Valley irons rust from underneath, the mortar along the valley edge cracks, and leaf collects where two roofs meet. These are the first things we check on a Bellevue Hill roof.
Older homes here carry slate or glazed terracotta with decorative ridges and finials. Broken pieces are matched in profile and colour, and the original details are kept rather than swapped for something plainer.
Many houses have been extended over the years, and the extensions often have flat or low pitch roofs that meet the original roof in a box gutter. Those meeting points need regular clearing and resealing, because water sits there longer than anywhere else.
Roofs facing the harbour take stronger wind than those on sheltered streets. Loose ridge capping, lifted flashings and slipped tiles are more common on the exposed side, and they are worth checking after every big storm.
Yes. Broken slates and tiles are replaced with matching pieces in the same profile and colour, so the repair does not show from the street.
Yes. High gutters are cleaned with the right access setup for the height, and we check the downpipes and the valleys at the same time, since that is where blockages on a large roof usually start.
