Cranbourne is the closest suburb on our books — about 10 km from our base in Narre Warren South, a 15-minute drive down the Narre Warren–Cranbourne Road. We work the older township streets off High Street and Sladen Street, the estates through Cranbourne North and Cranbourne East, and out across Clyde North, Botanic Ridge, Junction Village, and Devon Meadows.
At Taylor & Son Roofing, we offer honest advice and workmanship on roof restoration, repairs, and guttering, and we help make sure your house — the roof most of all — stays protected from the elements. But a roof restoration in Cranbourne is rarely a job on a roof at the end of its life. Around here, it’s usually a roof that has aged faster than its owner expected.
Most of the suburbs we work in are full of post-war housing. Cranbourne isn’t. Outside the original township, the bulk of the housing went up from the late 1990s onward, through the estates in Cranbourne North, Cranbourne East, and Clyde North. The roofs are young, and plenty of owners assume that means they’re fine.
They often aren’t. Estate homes were built to a price, and the pointing is usually the first thing to let go. We regularly see cracked, flaking ridge pointing on houses only 12 to 18 years old — well before anyone thinks to look up.
The exposure doesn’t help. These estates were cut out of open farmland on the Western Port plain, and the landscaping hasn’t caught up yet. There’s very little to break the wind, so ridge caps on corner blocks and two-storey builds cop a hammering that an established, tree-lined street never sees.
We can repair your leaking roof — we’ll assess your specific situation and advise on the most cost-effective way to handle it. Usually, roof repairs in Cranbourne involve broken tile replacement, re-bedding, and pointing of the ridge capping and valleys.
All our work is quoted prior to work commencing, and we answer any questions or concerns you may have even before we start.
Estate builders used both, sometimes in the same street, and the two need completely different work.
Metal roofs don’t get re-pointed. They need roof plumbing in Cranbourne instead — perished screw seals replaced, valley and wall flashings resealed, box gutters and stormwater connections put right. On a 20-year-old estate home, the sheets themselves are usually still sound; it’s the seals and flashings that have gone.

We’re in Hampton Park, Hallam and Narre Warren South on the same run.
Our transparent approach to business is what has made us one of the most established roofing outfits in Cranbourne and the surrounding south-eastern suburbs — 40-plus years, family-owned, fully insured and licensed.
Growth-corridor estates attract door-knockers, and a cheap quote on the doorstep has a way of turning into an expensive problem. Whoever you go with, ask any roof plumber in Cranbourne for their licence and insurance before they set foot on the roof.
Not necessarily. The tiles will be sound at that age, but the pointing often isn’t — estate roofs commonly need re-pointing well before the 20-year mark. A free inspection will tell you either way, and there’s no cost if the answer is “leave it”.
Structural warranty periods have long expired on homes built before about 2015, so there’s nothing to void. On newer builds, we’ll check first and tell you if a warranty claim is the better route.
Less often than in the older tree-lined suburbs, but don’t skip it — the estates are windy and open, so gutters fill with grit and windblown debris rather than leaves. Once a year before winter is enough for most homes. A gutter cleaning in Cranbourne costs a fraction of repairing water damage under the eaves.
It depends on roof size, pitch, tile condition and access. Two-storey estate homes on tight blocks cost more than single-storey homes. We quote for free after inspecting the roof.
Three to five days for most Cranbourne homes, weather permitting. Pointing and coating need dry conditions to cure, so winter jobs can run longer.
