Choosing the right roofing material is critical for long-term performance, aesthetics, and weather resistance—especially in Mount Nelson, where elevated locations and leafy surrounds bring both beauty and exposure to the elements. We offer a range of premium roofing materials tailored to suit local conditions, architectural style, and budget.
One of the most popular choices in Mount Nelson, Colorbond® offers:
ideal for the area’s exposure to wind, rain, and UV
helps reduce energy bills through its reflective technology
from classic heritage tones to modern finishes
resists chipping, peeling, and corrosion
Perfect for both modern builds and Colorbond® roof replacements on older homes needing an upgrade.
Timeless and durable, terracotta tiles are:
helping keep homes cooler in summer and warmer in winter
the colour is baked into the tile, not painted on
suits Mount Nelson’s character-filled properties
A more budget-conscious option than terracotta, concrete tiles offer:
can last 40–50 years with proper maintenance
a wide variety of finishes
ideal when replacing older tiled roofs with similar weight loads
These tiles can be resealed and repainted during future restorations to maintain performance.
A roof replacement is the perfect time to enhance the overall drainage and weatherproofing of your home:
Custom flashing prevents water ingress at roof joins, chimneys, and skylights—critical in Mount Nelson’s sloped terrain and tree-heavy surrounds.
Upgraded downpipes and gutters improve stormwater handling, reducing the risk of overflow or erosion around your foundation.
We also offer matching Colorbond® accessories for a clean, cohesive look.

Is your roof starting to look tired, but the structure is still sound? Roof restoration is the ideal middle ground between minor repairs and a full roof replacement—especially in Mount Nelson, where leafy surrounds, rainfall, and tree litter can age roofs faster than expected.
Restoration offers significant advantages for homeowners looking to rejuvenate their roof’s appearance and performance without the cost of a full tear-off:
A complete roof restoration costs significantly less than a full replacement while still addressing key issues like leaks and wear.
Restoring your existing roof minimises landfill waste and reduces the need for new raw materials.
Sealing and recoating helps protect against moisture intrusion and future damage.
A freshly restored roof dramatically improves the overall look of your home—important in Mount Nelson’s sought-after hillside neighbourhoods.
Our roof restoration service is designed to address surface-level damage that, if ignored, could lead to bigger issues. These include:
Common on older Colorbond® or metal roofs exposed to UV and weather.
Caused by frost, foot traffic, or roof movement; we replace broken tiles and reseat loose ones.
Particularly on south-facing or shaded areas of the roof; we use high-pressure cleaning to remove biological growth.
Around chimneys, skylights, and roof valleys; we re-seal and reinforce to prevent leaks.
With its elevated blocks, tree coverage, and exposure to wind and rainfall, Mount Nelson roofs are prone to moisture-related wear and surface degradation. Roof restoration is especially suitable for:
Older tile roofs needing a refresh
Colorbond® roofs that are faded but structurally sound
Homeowners preparing to sell or add value to their property

High on the hills of Mount Nelson, ridge caps bear the brunt of wind, frost, and shifting temperatures. Over time, this exposure causes mortar to crack and fail—leading to leaks, pest entry, and even structural damage. Restoring your ridge capping is a small investment that prevents bigger roofing issues down the line.
Ridge caps are the angled tiles or metal pieces that sit along the peak of your roof, covering the joint where two roof planes meet. They serve a critical function:
Ridge capping seals one of the most vulnerable parts of your roof from water ingress.
Gaps in ridge capping can invite rodents, possums, or insects into your ceiling cavity.
Well-secured ridge caps support roof alignment and reduce shifting during storms or strong wind events.
Cracked mortar can crumble and wash away during rain, weakening nearby tiles.
Our expert roofers follow a proven process that ensures long-lasting results:
We assess the ridge lines for loose caps, deteriorated mortar, or misalignment.
Any crumbling or cracked mortar is carefully removed to prepare for re-bedding.
Ridge caps are reset on a strong mortar base to restore structural integrity.
A coloured, flexible compound is applied over the bedding, allowing for natural movement with temperature changes without cracking.
We inspect every ridge line and ensure the area is clean and watertight before sign-off.
Mount Nelson’s unique geography and climate make ridge cap maintenance especially important:
Frequent Winds – Ridge lines are exposed to gusts that gradually loosen mortar.
Cold Temperatures & Frost – Freeze-thaw cycles cause expansion and contraction, cracking older cement-based mortar.
Tree Coverage & Moisture – Shaded ridgelines may retain moisture longer, accelerating decay and moss build-up.
For these reasons, we recommend ridge cap inspection and maintenance every 10–15 years—or sooner if signs of failure are visible.

Leaky roofs are more than a nuisance—they’re a fast track to costly interior damage and mould. In Mount Nelson, where homes face a mix of rainfall, cool temperatures, and leafy debris, leaks can develop quietly and worsen quickly. Our team specialises in fast, accurate detection and lasting roof leak repairs across all roof types.
Not all roof leaks are obvious. Some cause slow water ingress that damages insulation, ceiling linings, or electrical systems over time. That’s why we use multiple methods to pinpoint even the most hidden leaks:
Identifying water stains, bubbling paint, and roof tile movement.
Detects hidden dampness inside ceilings and walls.
Spots temperature differences caused by water saturation.
Ideal for steep or multi-storey homes where visual access is limited.
We combine these techniques for a comprehensive diagnosis before beginning repairs—no guesswork, no delays.
Many leaks in Mount Nelson result from seasonal changes and debris accumulation. Here’s what we commonly fix:
Leaves and debris cause water to backflow under tiles or sheets.
Aged tiles or metal roofs can form entry points for water.
Skylights, chimneys, and vent pipes often leak when seals break down.
These hidden gutters can block or collapse, causing water to spill into ceilings.
Stay ahead of future roof leaks with these simple steps:
Clear gutters and downpipes every 3–6 months—especially before and after autumn.
Schedule annual roof inspections, even if no visible damage exists.
Trim back trees hanging over your roofline to reduce leaf build-up and gutter stress.
Inspect internal ceilings for early signs of staining or bubbling after heavy rains.

Thinking of refreshing your home’s exterior? A professionally applied roof paint does more than improve curb appeal—it provides a long-lasting protective barrier that defends against Mount Nelson’s cool winters, leafy debris, and seasonal UV exposure. Whether your roof is metal or tile, we deliver expert finishes that combine style and durability.
Roof painting is an affordable way to extend the life of your roof while giving your home a modern, clean look. Here’s what you gain:
Especially in summer, heat-reflective coatings can reduce attic temperatures and ease air conditioning costs.
Paint adds a layer of protection that prevents water penetration, rust, and moss/mould growth.
Prevents premature ageing and degradation of both tiled and metal roofs.
A freshly painted roof enhances first impressions and real estate value—ideal if you’re preparing to sell or lease.
Choosing the right colour isn’t just about taste—it also affects temperature control and how your home fits into its natural surrounds. We provide on-site colour consultations to help you decide.
Popular palettes for Mount Nelson include:
Perfect for homes near bushland or with rustic appeal.
Blend beautifully with modern renovations or render finishes.
A nod to Hobart’s heritage homes, suitable for Federation or colonial-style architecture.
Remember: Light colours reflect more heat, while darker tones absorb warmth and may suit colder aspects of the property.
