Leaks and roof repairs
Roof leak repairs in the Sutherland Shire
A leak rarely shows up where it starts. Water can run along a batten or a sheet for metres before it drips through your ceiling. So we find where it is really getting in first, then fix it properly.
Signs of a roof leak
- Brown water stains on the ceiling or cornices
- Drips or damp patches after rain
- Mould or a musty smell in a room or the roof space
- Paint bubbling or peeling near the ceiling line
- Water coming in around a skylight, chimney or vent
Where leaks usually start
Most roof leaks come back to a handful of places:
- Flashings around chimneys, skylights, walls and vents
- Rusted sheets or fixings that have worked loose
- Blocked or rusted gutters and box gutters overflowing into the roof
- Cracked or slipped tiles and perished ridge pointing on tiled roofs
- Valleys where two roof faces meet
Found first, then fixed
In the words of one of our Google reviews: "He made certain that our roof leak was correctly detected before proceeding with the job." That saves you paying for a fix in the wrong place.
If a repair is the right call, we repair it. If the roof is past repairing, we will tell you straight and quote a replacement.

From our Google reviews
David is a professional tradesman and a true gentleman. He knows his job. He is prompt, on time, highly capable and knowledgeable. He made certain that our roof leak was correctly detected before proceeding with the job. He is honest and thorough... and the cost for the work was very reasonable. I would highly recommend David. You won't find a better man for the job.
Dave gave me a great quote. He was able to do the job even though he was still working on another .. other companies had not turned up so very grateful for fixing the leak in my roof
Great Job!!! David and Matt were so professional and polite. They replaced two very very old skylights with glass Velux skylights plus fixed the flashing on our roof. They were on time and cleaned up after they were finished, removing all the old skylights and packaging, they even made sure that the neighbouring house had no rubbish from the work that was completed on our roof.
I highly recommend Make It Metal Roofing, definitely worth getting a quote as we did and then gave them the job, thanks guys, love looking through our skylights.
Questions
Roof leak repairs: common questions
Can you fix a leak without replacing the whole roof?
Usually, yes. Most leaks come down to one failed flashing, a few rusted sheets or a blocked gutter. We fix the cause and leave the rest of the roof alone.
Do you repair flashings?
Yes. Flashings around chimneys, skylights and walls are one of the most common places for a roof to leak, and we repair and replace them.
What should I do while I wait for you?
Move anything valuable away from the drip, put a bucket under it, and stay off the roof, especially when it is wet. Then call us on the number at the top of the page.
