Taylor & Son Roofing is based in Narre Warren South, roughly 25 km and a 30-minute drive from Frankston via the Cranbourne–Frankston Road. We’ve been restoring and repairing roofs across the Frankston area for years — from the post-war brick veneers of Karingal and Frankston North, to the older weatherboards along Kananook Creek and Beach Street, to the newer estates out towards Langwarrin, Skye and Sandhurst. If you’re within the 3199, 3198 or 3910 postcodes, count on us to service your street.
Frankston roofs cop more than their fair share. Sitting on Port Phillip Bay, the whole area is exposed to salt-laden south-westerlies coming straight off the water, and salt is hard on a roof — it degrades ridge pointing, corrodes valley irons, and eats away at metal fixings well before their expected lifespan. Homes closer to the foreshore, around Olivers Hill, Long Island, and the Frankston Waterfront, tend to show it first.
The housing stock matters, too. Much of Frankston, Karingal, and Frankston North was built between the 1950s and 1970s, so a lot of original concrete and terracotta tile roofs are now 50-plus years old. At that age, the cement bedding under the ridge caps has usually gone brittle and cracked, the tiles have lost their surface glaze and become porous, and moss and lichen have taken hold on the pitches.
None of that means you need a new roof. In most cases, a full restoration — clean, repair, re-bed, re-point, and re-seal — will give a tiled roof another 15 to 20 years for a fraction of the cost of replacement.
Every restoration starts with an honest assessment. If your roof only needs a repair, we’ll tell you that. Where a full restoration is warranted, the job covers:
Roof repairs in Frankston often involve broken tile replacement and re-bedding, along with pointing of the ridge capping as well as valleys. All our work is affordably quoted, and our professional staff will answer all your queries or concerns before work starts. We can repair any of your leaking roof issues. After a storm front comes through the bay, blocked valleys and lifted ridge caps cause most of the leaks we’re called to. Most are avoidable: a gutter cleaning in Frankston before winter clears the tea-tree and eucalypt litter that backs water up under the tiles.
Whatever the issues, we’ll assess your property and recommend the most cost-effective way to manage the roof repairs.
As your local hub for the whole Frankston area, we cover:
We also service neighbouring suburbs from the same run — Carrum Downs and the Mornington Peninsula.
We know the importance of delivering professional, timely, and tailored roofing solutions at the right price. We’re a family business, and we make every effort to bring a personal touch to our work. Recommending and using the correct roofing products for every job is essential, and we keep ourselves up to date with the newest technologies and trends in roofing.
A word of warning: don’t fall for travelling tradesmen. Door-knockers are a recurring problem across Frankston and the Peninsula, and what looks like a cheap fix often causes trouble later. Before you hand the job to any roof plumber, check they’re insured, licensed and qualified to do the work they’re selling on your doorstep.
Cost depends on roof size, pitch, tile condition and access. A standard single-storey tiled home is a very different job to a two-storey with steep pitch and limited access. We give a free, no-obligation quote after inspecting the roof, so you know the price before any work starts.
Most Frankston homes are completed in three to five days, weather permitting. Cleaning, bedding, pointing, and coating each need dry conditions to cure properly, so winter jobs occasionally run longer.
Yes — all of them, plus Karingal, Skye, Sandhurst and Carrum Downs. It’s the same service run for us.
Yes. Salt spray off Port Phillip Bay accelerates the breakdown of ridge pointing and corrodes metal valleys, flashings, and fixings. Homes in Frankston, Seaford, and Frankston South generally need their pointing checked more often than inland properties.
Yes. Our roof plumbing services in Frankston cover the metal side of the roof — valleys, flashings, box gutters, and downpipes — and it’s part of most restorations we quote because a perfect tile finish over a rusted valley still leaks.
Late spring through to early autumn is ideal because the coatings cure best in dry, mild weather. We carry out repairs and emergency leak work year-round.
If the tiles are structurally sound and only the ridge capping has failed, a re-bed and re-point is usually enough. If tiles are porous, heavily lichened, and the coating has broken down across the whole roof, a full restoration is better value. We’ll tell you honestly which one you need.
