Kennington sits a few kilometres south-east of the Bendigo CBD, an established residential suburb built out through the middle and late twentieth century, home to the La Trobe University campus and the Kennington Reservoir. Bendigo was proclaimed a city in 1871 on the back of the gold rush, and while the grand heritage homes are closer to the centre, Kennington is mostly solid brick family homes from the 1960s through the 1990s, which is exactly the age where a roof needs attention. That housing stock shapes our work here. Most Kennington roofs are concrete tile, and after thirty, forty or fifty years in the goldfields sun the tiles go porous, the surface coating oxidises and fades, moss and lichen take hold on the south-facing pitches, and the mortar bedding the ridge caps cracks and lets water in. A full roof restoration fixes all of that in one go: we high-pressure clean the roof at around 3000psi to strip the moss and the failed coating back to sound tile, replace any cracked or broken tiles through our tile replacement, re-bed and re-point the ridge caps, then re-coat the whole roof. The re-pointing is where a lot of cheaper jobs fail, so we re-bed the caps where needed and point them with a flexible pointing compound that moves with the roof, rather than the rigid mortar that cracks straight back out in a Bendigo winter. We are qualified roofers, not a pressure-washer with a ladder, so we inspect the whole roof first, the tiles, the ridges, the valleys, the flashings and the gutters, and tell you honestly what it actually needs. Because we run our own crew, the Peak Roof Restoration Bendigo team that quotes your roof is the team that restores it, with owner Steve on site and one point of contact from inspection to the final coat. There is no subcontracting a roof out to whoever is cheapest that week, which is how ridge caps end up re-pointed with the wrong mortar and coatings peel within a year.
