Roofing and Cladding for Northcote Renovations

Renovating usually means the roof gets involved, whether it's a new roof over a rear extension, metal cladding on an upper level or an old roof that's finally due for replacement. We're a licensed roof plumbing business based in Reservoir, and we handle that roof and cladding work for Northcote homeowners and the builders they work with.

The part that matters most is where the new work meets the old. We take care with the flashings and junctions at that join, so the addition looks like it belongs and keeps water out where the two roofs meet.

Let us know what you're planning or what's gone wrong, and we'll give you a free quote.

Roof Plumbing for Northcote Renovations and Repairs

Whether you're extending, re-roofing or chasing a leak, here is how each of our services fits a Northcote project.

Roofs for Northcote Extensions

A rear extension or second storey adds a new section of roof that has to meet the existing one cleanly. We install metal roofing on the new frame and give that junction close attention, using Colorbond roofing in a colour that suits the house.

When the design calls for a bolder roofline, with sharp edges, parapets or unusual shapes, our architectural roofing work covers the detail.

Bringing an Older Roof Up to Date

Once the rest of the home has been renovated, a worn roof can be the thing still holding it back. We re-roof in new Colorbond metal, including replacing corrugated iron that has rusted past the point where patching helps.

Leaks Around Chimneys and Wall Junctions

Where a roof meets a chimney, a parapet or a second-storey wall, the flashing does the work of keeping water out. When it lifts, cracks or rusts, water gets underneath. We repair or replace the flashings involved so the leak is fixed where it starts.

Gutters and Downpipes for Extended Homes

An extension changes how much water comes off the roof and where it lands. New gutters and downpipes, plus box gutters and rainheads where the design needs them, carry that water away from both the old and new parts of the house.

Architectural Cladding in Northcote

Curved walls, vertical lines and crisp metal edges can turn an addition into the standout part of the home. Architectural cladding is one of our specialties, and we also install straightforward metal wall cladding for simpler designs.
