Do you do roof repairs in my suburb?
Yes. Mahy Painter carries out roof repairs and repointing across Brisbane and the surrounding suburbs from Ashgrove. Whether it is a few cracked tiles, failed ridge capping or a leak, we will inspect the roof, explain what is needed, and provide a clear quote. Let us know your suburb and what you have noticed when you get in touch.
How quickly can you respond to a roof leak?
We know a leak needs prompt attention, so we aim to respond quickly and get out to assess the problem. Our customers regularly mention our prompt response and clear communication. When you contact us, describe what you are seeing — water stains, drips, missing tiles — and we will prioritise getting eyes on the roof and advising the best fix.
How is roof repair work priced?
Roof repairs are quoted after we have inspected the roof and identified the cause of the problem. Pricing depends on the extent of the damage, the number of tiles or sections involved, repointing or rebedding required, and access. You will receive a transparent quote before any work starts, and we guarantee not to exceed the figure we give you.
What is repointing and rebedding?
Rebedding involves replacing the mortar bed that holds your ridge and hip tiles in place, while repointing replaces the flexible pointing compound over the top that seals and finishes them. Over time this mortar cracks and crumbles, which lets water in and loosens tiles. Renewing the bedding and pointing keeps the roof secure and weather-tight and is a key part of roof maintenance.
Can you repair both tile and metal roofs?
Yes. We work on tile and metal roofs and can address cracked or slipped tiles, failed pointing, rusted or damaged metal sheeting, flashing issues and leaks. During the inspection we will identify exactly what is causing the problem and recommend the right repair. If the roof would be better served by a full restoration, we will tell you that too.
Do roof repairs come with a guarantee?
All work completed by Mahy Painter is backed by our workmanship guarantee, and major roof work carries a 10-year guarantee. We fix the problem properly the first time rather than applying a quick patch. If you have any concerns after the work is done, we want to know so we can make it right — standing behind our work is part of how we operate.
