Roof Leaks & Gutter Overflows in the Illawarra
Roof leaking when it rains? Gutters overflowing or sagging? We trace and repair roof leaks, re-pitch gutters, replace downpipes, and re-flash penetrations across the Illawarra.

Local roof leaks & gutter overflows you can actually rely on
Roof leaks rarely come from where the stain is — water tracks along rafters, battens and ceiling joists before it shows up, sometimes metres from the actual entry point. Our roof plumbers trace leaks back to source: deteriorated valley iron, rusted-through Colorbond, lifted ridge capping, failed flashings around skylights, vent pipes and aerials, sagging gutters that overflow against the fascia, and downpipes that aren't actually connected to the stormwater (more common than you'd think).
We work on Colorbond, tile, and (carefully) older fibrocement and Decramastic across Shellharbour, Wollongong, Albion Park, Kiama and the rural fringe. Common repairs: replace a single rusted gutter section, re-flash a skylight or vent pipe, re-bed and re-point ridge capping on a tile roof, install valley iron, and full gutter and downpipe replacement in Colorbond.
On the coastal strip — Shell Cove, Flinders, Warilla and Kiama — salt-air corrosion is the main enemy and we recommend Colorbond Ultra (extra salt-air resistance) for any new gutters or flashings on properties within 1km of the coast.
