Important to Know

Roof leaks rarely enter where water appears

Water travels along rafters and battens before dripping onto the ceiling — often metres from the actual entry point. Proper leak tracing is critical to a lasting repair.

Licensed Roof Plumbers for Perth & Bunbury Homes

A leaking roof left unaddressed causes progressive damage — saturated insulation, rotting roof timbers, plasterboard failure, and mould growth that can affect the health of your household. Acting quickly on a roof leak significantly limits the extent and cost of the secondary damage.

Roof plumbing — the flashings, penetrations, valley gutters, and skylight seals that waterproof the junctions in a roof — is a licensed plumbing trade in Western Australia. We carry out all roof plumbing repair work to Australian Standards, with proper materials and workmanship that holds up over time.

We serve residential properties across Perth North of the River (Clarkson, Joondalup, and the northern suburbs) and the Bunbury & South West region, with upfront pricing and no hidden fees.

What We Fix

Roof Leakage Services We Cover

From a failed flashing to a leaking skylight — we handle all residential roof plumbing repairs.

Flashing Repairs & Replacement

Cracked, corroded, or missing flashing around chimneys, vents, and roof edges is one of the most common causes of roof leaks. We reseal and replace flashings to restore a watertight seal.

Roof Penetration Leaks

Pipes, vents, and conduits that pass through the roof are frequent entry points for water. We reseal and collar all roof penetrations to prevent ingress.

Skylight Leak Repairs

Failed skylight seals and deteriorated frames allow water in around the edges. We reseal or replace the weatherproofing to stop the leak without replacing the entire skylight.

Valley Gutter Repairs

Valley gutters that accumulate debris or have failed sealant allow water to back up under tiles. We clear, reseal, and repair valley gutters to restore proper water flow.

Roof Plumbing Maintenance

Periodic inspection and maintenance of roof plumbing — including gutters, downpipes, and flashings — prevents the build-up of issues that lead to leaks and water damage.

Water Damage Assessment

Once the leak is stopped, we assess the extent of water ingress into ceiling cavities and wall spaces so you have the full picture before engaging other trades.

Warning Signs

Signs You Have a Roof Leak

Many roof leaks are only noticed after water damage is already visible inside. Watch for:

Water stains or brown patches on interior ceilings
Damp or musty smell in rooms after rain
Paint bubbling or peeling on ceilings or upper walls
Mould growth on ceiling plasterboard
Water dripping from light fittings or ceiling rose after rain
Visible daylight through the roof space
Missing, cracked, or displaced roof tiles
Pooling water or overflow from gutters near the house

Our Process

How We Find and Fix Your Roof Leak

Trace the Leak

Roof leaks rarely enter the ceiling directly above where the water appears. We inspect the roof systematically to identify the true source — not just treat the symptom.

Quote the Repair

Once we have located the fault, we provide a clear fixed price for the repair before any work begins.

Carry Out the Repair

We complete the repair using appropriate materials — quality sealants, replacement flashings, or collar seals — to Australian Standards.

Test & Advise

Where possible we test the repair and advise on any related roof plumbing maintenance that would reduce the risk of future leaks.

FAQ

Roof Leak Questions Answered

Everything you need to know before you call.

Is a roof leak a plumbing job or a roofing job?

It depends on where the leak is coming from. Plumbers handle roof leaks caused by failed flashings, roof penetrations (pipes and vents passing through the roof), valley gutters, and skylight seals — all of which are classified as roof plumbing under Australian licensing requirements. Structural roofing issues (broken tiles, damaged roof framing) are handled by roofers. In many cases the two trades overlap and we will advise you on which is needed.

Why is my ceiling wet but it is not raining?

If water appears during dry weather, the cause is more likely a plumbing leak above the ceiling — a burst pipe, a leaking hot water system, a failed shower recess, or a leaking bath — rather than a roof leak. We can investigate both scenarios and identify the actual source.

How do you find where a roof is leaking?

Roof leaks are often deceptive — water enters at one point and travels along rafters or battens before dripping onto the ceiling at a completely different location. We inspect the roof from above, check all flashings, penetrations, valley gutters, and skylight edges, and trace the water path back to the entry point.

Can you repair a roof leak without replacing the whole roof?

In most cases, yes. The majority of roof leaks are caused by a localised failure — a cracked flashing, a failed sealant around a penetration, or a deteriorated skylight seal — rather than widespread roof failure. A targeted repair is usually all that is needed.

How much does a roof leak repair cost?

Cost depends on the cause, the location, and the extent of the repair needed. Resealing a simple penetration is one of the more straightforward jobs; replacing a full valley gutter or multiple flashings is more involved. We provide a fixed quote after inspecting the roof, before any work starts.

Will you check for ceiling or wall damage after fixing the leak?

Yes. Once the leak source is addressed, we assess what water has entered the ceiling cavity and wall spaces so you have a clear picture of any secondary damage that may need to be dealt with by a plasterer or builder.

How often should roof plumbing be maintained?

An annual inspection of flashings, valley gutters, and roof penetrations is a sensible practice — particularly after Perth's winter rainfall season. Clearing gutters and downpipes twice a year reduces the risk of overflow backing up under eaves and tiles.

Do you cover Bunbury and the South West for roof leak repairs?

Yes. We provide roof leakage repairs across both service regions — Perth North of the River and the Bunbury & South West region including Busselton and Margaret River.
