Professional roofing and roof restorations across Melbourne
Roof repairs, restorations and complete roof renovations, carried out by experienced roofers. Every job starts with a proper inspection, so you know what your roof actually needs before anything is quoted.
Restore, protect and improve the roof you already have
Most roofs we look at do not need replacing. A tiled roof usually fails at the mortar long before it fails at the tile - bedding cracks, pointing lets go, and water starts tracking under the ridge capping. Dealt with properly, that roof has years left in it.
Kestrel restores, renovates and repairs residential roofs across Melbourne. We are at our strongest on ageing tiled roofs: cleaned back, repaired, repointed and coated, so the roof both sheds water properly and looks like the rest of the house has been cared for.

Roofing work for Melbourne homes
Most of what we do is restoration and renovation on ageing roofs. Repairs, re-roofing and roofline work sit alongside it.
Roof repairs
Professional diagnosis and repair - cracked tiles, failed pointing, flashings and leaks traced to the cause.
Roof repointing
Deteriorating ridge and bedding areas cut out, re-bedded and repointed with flexible pointing.
Book a free inspection. We get on the roof, photograph what we find, and tell you whether repairs, a restoration or re-roofing is the sensible option.
Give your roof a new lease of life
A restoration is not a coat of paint. It is a sequence of work - clean, repair, repoint, coat - that puts an ageing roof back into a condition where it sheds water properly and looks the part from the street.
Drag the handle to see the kind of change a restoration makes - a weathered tiled roof against a coated finish. Coating is used where it is appropriate for the roof, not on every job.

An experienced roofer working across Melbourne
Kestrel Roofing & Renovations is family-run. Jack has more than ten years of hands-on roofing on Melbourne homes, and he is the person you deal with from the quote through to the work on the roof.
That is the reason we work the way we do: photographs instead of assumptions, a written scope instead of a verbal figure, and one person accountable from the inspection through to the last gutter being flushed.
What homeowners say
A few words from jobs around Melbourne - in their words, not ours.
The roof was looking pretty tired - moss all over the tiles and the pointing falling out along the ridges. Jack came out, showed us photos of what he'd found and just got on with it. Took a few days and from the street it actually looks like a different house. Left the place tidy as well, which we weren't expecting.
Had a leak come through near the ensuite after that last storm. Thought we were going to need the whole roof done. He found a few cracked tiles and a flashing that had lifted, quoted just that, and it hasn't leaked since. Didn't try to talk us into a restoration we didn't need, which I appreciated.
Pointing on the ridges was crumbling and we had birds nesting in it. Straightforward job - he showed us what needed re-bedding and what was still fine. Easy to get hold of, turned up when he said he would, and cleaned the gutters while he was up there. No fuss.
