Roof flashing installation and repair
Roof flashing installation and repair in Melbourne
Flashings are the shaped metal pieces that seal the joins and gaps in a roof: where the roof meets a wall, around chimneys, skylights and vents, along valleys, ridges and hips, and at the edge of a box gutter. When a flashing rusts, lifts, cracks or loses its seal, water gets in, and the leak often shows up well away from the cause. D Steel Roofing installs, repairs and custom-fabricates metal flashings across Melbourne, Keilor, Sunshine, Pascoe Vale, Gisborne, Greenvale, Sunbury, Melton, and the Macedon Ranges.
Common flashing problems
- Rusted, lifted or cracked flashings at walls, chimneys, skylights and roof penetrations.
- Failed sealant or loose fixings where flashings meet the roof sheeting.
- Leaks along valleys, ridges and hips.
- Flashings that were never made to suit the roof profile, so they do not seal properly.
Types of flashing we install and repair
- Wall and apron flashings, where a roof meets a wall.
- Step flashings, where a sloping roof meets a wall.
- Chimney, skylight and vent flashings.
- Valley, ridge and hip flashings.
- Custom-fabricated metal flashings made to suit your roof profile.
Custom flashings are bent to suit your roof profile and the way water moves across it, which gives a tighter seal than an off-the-shelf piece. They can be made in COLORBOND® steel to suit your roof.
A failed flashing is often the real cause of a roof leak that looks like a bigger problem. We trace the leak to its source, repair or replace the flashing, and check the surrounding roof sheeting and gutters so it does not come back. If the damage is more extensive, we will tell you and quote for the repair, restoration or replacement that makes sense.
Flashing work often goes hand in hand with roof leak repairs, emergency roof repair and roof plumbing, and with box gutter replacement.
