Berwick is about 6 km from our base in Narre Warren South — ten minutes up Clyde Road. We work the whole postcode: the heritage streets around High Street and the village, the established homes near Wilson Botanic Park, the estates through Timbarra and Eden Rise, and the newer builds out past St John of God Berwick Hospital.
Taylor & Son Roofing is South East Melbourne’s # 1 roofing company with more than 40 years of experience in the industry. We offer honest advice and workmanship on roof restoration, repairs, and guttering in Berwick and surrounding suburbs. And we help make sure your house, the roof most of all, is protected from the elements.
Berwick is really two suburbs sharing a postcode, and the roofs give it away. The village end is one of the oldest settlements in the south-east — Victorian and Edwardian homes carrying original terracotta or slate, some under heritage overlay. The estate end, through Timbarra and Eden Rise, is 1990s and 2000s concrete tile, laid fast and in volume.
They don’t get the same treatment. Old terracotta is brittle and won’t take the pressure a concrete tile shrugs off, and those original homes tend to have box gutters, internal valleys, and lead flashings — which require roof plumbing in Berwick rather than tiling work. Get that wrong on a heritage roof, and you pay for it twice.
Berwick runs up onto the rise at the foot of the ranges. Steeper pitches, split-levels, and two-storey homes on sloping blocks are far more common here than on the flat, so more of our Berwick work needs proper harness and edge protection. It’s also the honest reason a Berwick quote can land above an identical-looking house a few suburbs over.
Pitch changes the water, too. Steep roofs shed fast, so gutters overshoot more readily — and the older streets here are lined with mature deciduous plantings that drop a heavy, wet leaf mat every autumn. A gutter cleaning in Berwick once the leaf has finished dropping deals with both at once.
We can restore your roof to its former glory. Ideal when looking to refresh your house, maybe you’re thinking of selling and want some added street appeal. Your house deserves the right first impression.

Not every roof needs the full treatment. Most roof repairs in Berwick come down to a few cracked tiles, a lifted ridge cap, or a valley that’s rusted through, and we’ll tell you that rather than quote a restoration you don’t need.
We provide a full range of roof cleaning, too. A dirty or overly mossy roof can provide the perfect breeding ground for a leak, mould, or mildew to grow within your ceiling space, and an uncared-for roof only adds costs later. Pressure cleaning is an ideal and inexpensive way to maintain one of the most important structures of your home.
It means Taylor & Son Roofing has earned its reputation as the most trustworthy choice when it comes to the appearance, security, structure and value of your roof and home.
We make your roof, your satisfaction and your comfort our absolute top priority every time! From Boronia to Scoresby and beyond, you’ve come to the right place for a roof that looks great, does its job and stands the test of time.
First, have they worked on your kind of roof? A crew that only does estate concrete tile can damage a hundred-year-old terracotta or slate roof, and replacement tiles for those homes aren’t something you pick up on the way over.
Second, are they licensed and insured? Ask any roof plumber in Berwick for both before they set foot on a two-storey pitched roof. It takes ten seconds, and anyone legitimate will hand it over without being asked.
Usually yes, but carefully. Terracotta is restored differently to concrete tile — gentler cleaning, matched replacement tiles, and no coating where it isn’t appropriate. We’ll tell you what the roof will and won’t take before we start.
It can, particularly where the roof is visible from the street or the material is original. Repairs and maintenance are usually fine; changing profile, material, or colour may need Council approval. Check with the City of Casey first.
Pitch and access. Steep, split-level, and two-storey Berwick roofs take longer, need more edge protection, and carry more risk than a single-storey on flat ground. We’d rather explain the difference than quote low.
Cost depends on size, pitch, tile condition and access, and we provide a free, no-obligation quote after an inspection. Three to five days is typical, weather permitting — pointing and coating need dry conditions to cure.
