Ceiling stains usually mean water has already passed through tiles, battens, and insulation.
Stop Roof Leaks Before They Become Structural Rot.
Don't let a $200 leak turn into $15k of plaster, insulation, mould, and timber damage. Get a fast Melbourne roof inspection before the next downpour exposes the real cost.
Loss prevention
Water damage moves faster than most homeowners expect.
Temporary sealants fail quickly when valleys, flashing, or pointing are the true leak source.
Every heavy rain pushes moisture deeper into timber and plaster, making the final repair more expensive.
Fix the source. Stop the rot.

A small drip is a timber rot and mould problem waiting to happen.
Water reaching structural roof battens begins rotting them within weeks in Melbourne's climate, and it happens silently, in the dark, behind your ceiling. Black mould (Stachybotrys) can colonise wet insulation in under 48 hours and requires licensed remediation once established. By the time a water stain appears on your ceiling, the damage behind it is typically 3–5 times larger than the stain suggests. A targeted repair that finds and seals the actual entry point stops the cascade at the source. Covering it with a second layer of silicone is not a repair; it's a delay.
We find the real source of the leak, not just the symptom. No obligation inspection.

"Got three quotes. True Roof wasn't the cheapest but was clearly the most professional. 10-year warranty sealed the deal. 6 months later, not a single issue."
