This roofing project involved the replacement of the existing roof and guttering on a timber-framed house constructed in circa 1870. The structure was in poor condition overall, particularly at the rear, where significant deterioration was evident. While a full rebuild would have been ideal, budget and scope limitations required a remedial approach to make the structure safe and weather tight.

Two large velux skylights were replaced as part of the scope.
 
The rear section of the house presented the most complexity due to severe structural degradation. In these areas, carpentry support was needed to repair failing sections before roofing works could proceed. The aim was to stabilise and weatherproof the roof as effectively as possible within the constraints, despite the building’s compromised condition. The pictures how just how well we managed to achieve this.
 
The client left us a 5 star google review.

Our 1870s house was in urgent need of total roof replacement. When we moved here 1995 the roof had been patched with a range of materials. There were five interior leakage sites, one so serious that we needed a 240litre garbage bin to catch the water. Some parts of the roof lacked gutters.

Living in an area of very old houses we wanted advice from locals with roofing stories. Our local café is very popular with residents, creative workers, university and hospital staff as well as tradies working on nearby construction sites. The proprietor had a list, including roofers. He strongly recommended All Roofing Services P/L which he had used, so we checked it on line and liked what we saw and asked for a quote. We were impressed by the thorough inspection and measuring. The quote came a few days later and within our budget.

We made the right decision by engaging All Roofing Services. They allocated five days to do the job. Every morning they arrived at 7:00. They were prompt, efficient and friendly though unobtrusive. What impressed us the most was their teamwork, working on different tasks. They stored their equipment safely here overnight, out of our way. When the job was completed, yes in five days, you wouldn’t know they had been here, except for our fine new roof. We are very satisfied with our choice of All Roofing Services and the job they’ve done. We like being dry too.

Highly recommended without hesitation.
