Taylor & Son is a family-owned and operated local roofing business based right here in Narre Warren. We service most areas of the Melbourne region, especially the south-eastern suburbs. With more than 40 years of experience and thousands of satisfied customers, there’s got to be something that we are doing right.
This is our own patch. We’re a few minutes from Fountain Gate, and we work the streets off Webb Street and Victor Crescent, the estates running up towards Ernst Wanke Road, and across to Narre Warren North and South. A roof restoration in Narre Warren isn’t a job we drive an hour for — it’s usually one suburb over from the last one.
Narre Warren grew up around Fountain Gate. Most of the housing here went in through the 1980s and early 90s, which puts a very large number of local roofs at somewhere between 30 and 40 years old right now — and that’s a specific age with specific problems.
Concrete tiles from that era carried a factory colour coating that didn’t last four decades. It oxidises, chalks off, and leaves the tile grey and porous — soaking up water it should be shedding. That generation of roofs was also bedded with rigid mortar, before flexible pointing became standard, so the ridge caps crack as the roof moves. Once they’re cracked, water gets in.
The other thing that’s aged with the houses is the trees. The street plantings that went in with those estates are 40 years old now, and they drop a serious amount of leaves. A gutter cleaning in Narre Warren once a year isn’t fussy maintenance — it’s the difference between a clear gutter and water backing up into the eaves.
The tiles have gone grey and chalky. Run a hand across one — if it comes away dusty, the coating is gone.
You can see white or cracked lines along the ridge caps. That's the mortar letting go.
Moss on the shaded side. It only takes hold once the tile has gone porous enough to stay damp.
We take care of your roof — often considered to be the crown of your home. A full roof restoration deals with all three signs above and covers:
Not every roof needs the full treatment. Most roof repairs in Narre Warren involve a handful of cracked tiles, a lifted ridge cap, or a valley that’s rusted through — and we’ll say so rather than quoting a restoration you don’t need.
We know that every roofing job we undertake is a reflection of our high-quality workmanship, and we make sure you’ll be talking about us long after we’ve restored your roof.
Having the understanding of what needs to be done, our services cover all the requirements for your roofing, including:
Affordability without compromise, and with the peace of mind knowing you are getting the best.
Being based in Narre Warren changes how we work more than you’d think. We can look at a roof the same week. If something isn’t right afterwards, we’re minutes away, not an hour. And we’re not going anywhere — a business that’s been in one place for 40 years can’t afford a bad job on a street it drives down every day.
That’s worth weighing against the quotes that arrive via a knock on the door. Ask any roofer for their licence and insurance before they get on your roof. We’ll hand ours over without being asked.
Almost certainly not. Chalky tiles are the coating wearing off, not the tile failing. On a 1980s or 90s roof, the tiles usually have decades left, and a clean, re-point and reseal brings it back.
Usually, yes. Tile profiles from the 80s and 90s are common enough across Narre Warren that we can source matching replacements for most homes, rather than a patchwork of odd tiles.
It depends on roof size, pitch, tile condition and access. We quote free and fixed after inspecting the roof, so you know the number before anything starts.
Three to five days for most homes, weather permitting. Pointing and coating need dry conditions to cure, so winter jobs can run longer.
Being local, usually quickly. Call, and we’ll tell you honestly when we can be there rather than booking you in and hoping.
Yes — both, plus Fountain Gate, Hallam, Berwick and Hampton Park.
