Storm damage
Storms are responsible for many of the roof and gutter repairs melbourne that we get called out to fix. Apart from the obvious things such as breaks and cracks and tin sheets or roof tiles blowing off, heavy rain and wind can cause water to run in a different way down your roof than it normally would and it’s this which causes leaks and floods.

Minor repairs and maintenance
If, on inspection, your gutters appear to be pretty sound but are showing signs of wear or tear, then in most instances we recommend repair over gutter replacement, since this is typically the cheapest alternative. We’ll assess the level of damage and discuss whether a repair is possible. If your repair is only minor, then most times we can fix it on the same day or within a day. For major repair work or a very large property, then it’s more likely to take up to 2 days.
