Why Choose Us for Leak Detection & Repair in Mount Lawley?
Old Federation homes develop leaks in places where new homes simply don't get them. Water finds its way in through cracked ornamental ventilators, around original chimney flashings, or through corroded box gutters that run between the roof and the walls. Once it's in the cavity, it's hard to trace just by looking. We use thermal imaging to follow the moisture path through the roof cavity without ripping into your ceiling. Most small leaks run $400 to $800 to fix once we've found where the water's actually coming in. It beats guessing and pulling apart plaster ceilings to hunt for the problem.
Mount Lawley's century-old homes develop leaks in surprising places. An ornamental terracotta ventilator that's been there 100 years might crack from one heavy rainfall, or moisture travels 5 metres through ceiling cavities from a tiny flashing failure before appearing as a water stain. Thermal imaging shows us the moisture path without cutting holes in heritage ceilings.

Benefits of Leak Detection & Repair for Mount Lawley Properties
We find the actual source
Water rarely drips straight down. It runs along battens and rafters and comes through metres from where it got in. We trace the leak back to where it's actually entering, not just where it shows.
Fast response
A live leak in a Perth winter doesn't wait. We get to you quickly, make it safe, and stop the water before it wrecks ceilings and insulation.
Fixed, not patched
We fix the cause, whether that's cracked tiles, failed flashing, a rusted valley or perished pointing, so the same leak doesn't come back with the next downpour.
Fully insured
We carry $10M public liability and work safely up on the roof, so the repair's done right and you're covered.
Our Leak Detection & Repair Process in Mount Lawley
- 1
Find it
We inspect the roof and the roof space, follow the water back from the stain to the entry point, and identify exactly what's failed.
Why it matters: Fixing the stain instead of the source is why so many leaks come back.
- 2
Make it safe
If it's actively leaking, we stop the water getting in first so the damage doesn't spread while the full repair is sorted.
Why it matters: Stopping the water buys your ceilings time.
- 3
Fix the cause
We repair or replace whatever's failed, cracked tiles, valleys, pointing or penetrations, plus reseal or patch failed flashing, and check the surrounding area while we're up there.
Why it matters: Leaks often have a second weak spot nearby.
- 4
Test and confirm
Where practical we check the repair holds, and let you know if anything else on the roof is heading the same way.
Why it matters: A tested fix is a fix you can trust.

How do you find a leak in a complex old roof without tearing the ceiling apart? ▾
We use thermal imaging to trace moisture paths through the roof cavity. This shows us exactly where water is coming in and travelling, so we can fix the source without invasive investigation.
What causes leaks in old Mount Lawley homes that modern houses don't get? ▾
Ornamental ventilators crack with age, chimney flashings corrode, box gutters fail, and valleys get obstructed. Heritage homes have more complexity and more places for water to find its way in.
Do you do emergency roof leak repairs in Perth? ▾
Yes. If you've got water coming in, call 08 6388 4492 and we'll get to you as fast as we can to stop it and make it safe, then sort the full repair.
How much does a roof leak repair cost? ▾
It depends what's causing it. A couple of cracked tiles is a small job; a rusted valley or failed flashing is more involved. We find the cause first, then give you a price before doing the work.
There's a stain on my ceiling but I can't find the leak. Can you? ▾
That's the usual situation. Water travels along the roof structure before it drips, so the stain is rarely under the entry point. Tracing it back to the source is exactly what we do.
Do you work on metal and Colorbond roofs? ▾
For metal and Colorbond roofs we specialise in cleaning and repainting - protecting the roof and bringing back the colour. If you've got a leak in a tiled roof, tracing it back to the source and fixing the cause is exactly what we do.
Do you find and repair leaks on strata and townhouse roofs? ▾
Yes. We trace and repair leaks on residential, townhouse and strata roofs across Perth, following the water back to where it's actually getting in rather than just patching the stain.
Will the leak come back? ▾
Not if the cause is fixed properly. Leaks recur when someone patches the wet spot instead of the entry point. We fix where the water's actually getting in.
What Our Customers Say
"I have recently had a full roof restoration completed by this company and I can't recommend them highly enough. The job entailed cleaning the old terracotta coloured clay tiles, replacing damaged ones (I didn't have spares so extras were provided), fixing/replacing ridge capping etc. then sealing and painting to a gorgeous charcoal colour. All for a VERY reasonable price. I am always nervous about engaging tradies for major projects as I have not had much luck in the past. Ryan and Jack at Roof Restorers Perth have completely restored my faith that there are great companies and tradespeople out there. Ryan's communication was spot on, responding promptly to all my emails and questions. Jack, who completed the work over two days, was a delight and went above and beyond with customer service and communication, making sure I was happy with the clean up on both days and also ensuring my neighbours were happy. Nothing was too much trouble for him and I now have a functioning tiled roof that looks incredible."
"The overall experience dealing with the Roof Restorers was excellent. Ryan was very flexible in coordinating the job and dealing with the unreliable weather. Jack was very professional and explained every step of the project and kept us informed on the progress. He was always on time and was articulate in cleaning the roof, repairing areas, including the ridge caps and then restoring the paintwork. We are happy with the final result. I'm very confident in recommending this company. 👍👍👍👍👍"
