Leichhardt is full of Federation and interwar homes with terracotta tile roofs.
Those roofs were built well, but most are now around a hundred years old. The bedding and pointing under the ridge capping has gone soft or cracked, valley irons have rusted under the tiles, and some tiles have lost their surface and grown moss on the shaded side.
The streets are lined with big trees, and many backyards have their own. Leaf and blossom fill the gutters and valleys through autumn and winter, and a blocked valley on a terracotta roof sends water under the tiles rather than into the gutter.
Terraces and semis in parts of the suburb add shared walls and box gutters to the mix. Each kind of roof gets checked for its own weak points.

The loose bedding and pointing are removed, the ridge caps are reset where needed, and a flexible pointing compound is applied over them. It seals the ridge against water and holds the caps in place, and it is one of the most common jobs on terracotta roofs in Leichhardt.
Regular gutter and valley cleaning, and a gutter guard with a mesh sized for the leaves from your trees. Clearing the valleys matters as much as the gutters, because that is where water gets under the tiles.

Leichhardt roofs are mostly terracotta tile on Federation and interwar homes, with terraces and semis in parts of the suburb. Age and trees are what we deal with most here.
After a century of movement, the mortar under the ridge capping cracks and comes loose. Water gets in along the ridge and the caps can shift in strong wind. Rebedding and repointing seals the ridge again.
Valley irons on older roofs rust from underneath where leaf and water sit. A rusted or blocked valley lets water run under the tiles, and it is one of the main causes of leaks on Leichhardt homes.
Older tiles lose their surface and hold moisture, so moss and lichen grow on the shaded faces. Treating the growth and cleaning at low pressure protects the tiles rather than stripping them.
The large street and garden trees drop leaf and blossom into gutters and valleys for months of the year. Regular clearing and the right gutter guard keep the water moving.
Yes. Broken or cracked tiles are swapped for matching ones, and we check the tiles around them and the pointing at the same time.
It depends on the tiles. If they have lost their surface and are holding water, cleaning and coating can seal them again. We tell you honestly whether it is the right call for your roof.
