How much does roof leak repair cost in Melbourne?

Understanding the cost of roof leak repair in Melbourne involves looking at several factors. No two leaks are exactly the same, which is why a one-size-fits-all price rarely works.

Factors that drive cost

• Source of the leak: A simple blocked valley or a loose flashing is quicker to fix than a hidden leak under a waterproof membrane.
• Roof type: Working on a steep terracotta tile roof requires different safety equipment and techniques than a flat Colorbond roof.
• Access: Two-story homes or homes with difficult access may require additional safety measures.
• Extent of damage: If the leak has been ignored for a long time, there may be structural damage to the roof framing that needs addressing alongside the leak itself.

Paul's pricing stance

At Leak Proofing, we believe in transparency. Pricing works like this:

• $140 call-out fee: Covers Paul coming to your home and inspecting the leak personally.
• $120 per hour: For the time spent tracing and repairing the leak.
• Materials priced to the job: A simple silicone reseal costs far less than a full roof repair, so materials are quoted once Paul knows exactly what's needed.
• Clear price before work starts: You will receive a clear price for the repair so there are no surprises on your final bill.
• Guarantee: If the same leak returns, Paul comes back and fixes it for free.
