A ceiling stain rarely sits under the fault that caused it. Water runs along battens and sarking before it drips, so we find where it gets in, not just where it shows. Common causes are cracked or slipped tiles, failed ridge joints, rusted screws, lifted metal sheets and worn flashings. Fixing the cause early saves you from wet insulation, swollen plasterboard and a bigger bill later. If the leaks come from wear across the whole roof, we'll tell you when a roof restoration is the better value. - Finding where the water gets in, not just where it shows - Cracked and slipped tiles replaced - Ridge caps rebedded and repointed - Rusted screws, lifted sheets and worn flashings fixed - An itemised quote, so you know what you're paying for ## What to do when your roof starts leaking Move belongings away from the drip, put a bucket under it and take photos of the stain. If water is pooling in a light fitting, turn that circuit off at the switchboard. Don't climb onto the roof, especially in wet weather. Photos taken safely from the ground are enough to start, and you can send them with your enquiry. ## What causes a roof leak? On tiled roofs, the usual causes are cracked or slipped tiles and ridge caps whose bedding and pointing have crumbled, letting wind-driven rain under the caps. On metal roofs, it's rusted or loose screws, lifted sheets after a storm, and worn flashings around penetrations. Overflowing gutters can push water back under the roof edge too, which is why we look at the whole roof, not just the patch above the stain. ## How much does a roof leak repair cost? A focused repair, such as replacing damaged tiles or reseating a ridge cap, is commonly $350 to $1,500. Where the fault has spread across an area, or access is difficult, repair work runs from about $1,500 to $6,000. We separate the visible symptom from its cause before giving any figure, and the quote lists each repair. ## Repair the leak or restore the roof? A repair is right when the leak comes from one defined fault on a roof that's otherwise sound. When the leaks come from wear across the roof, many cracked tiles, ridge pointing failing on every run, or rust spreading across the sheets, patching one spot only moves the leak. Then a roof restoration fixes the whole roof for far less than a new one, and we'll show you why at the assessment. ## A clear next step for your roof.

Here are the questions we hear most, so you know what to expect. ### Can you find a leak that only shows in heavy rain? Often, yes. Leaks that show only in heavy or wind-driven rain usually come from ridge caps, flashings or overflowing gutters, and we check those first. ### Do you fix leaks on metal roofs? Yes. We replace rusted or failed screws, refix lifted sheets and repair worn flashings. ### Should I wait until the rain stops? Book as soon as you can, but don't go onto the roof yourself. Photos from the ground help us plan the repair. ### Will a leak repair stop it for good? It fixes the cause we find. If the roof is worn across its whole area, we'll tell you, because more leaks will follow until it's restored. ## Related - [Roof restoration and repair services](https://rnrroofrestorations.com.au/services) - [Get a roof restoration quote](https://rnrroofrestorations.com.au/contact)
