Roof replacement in Mornington Peninsula

Salt-eaten coastal roofs

Both towns in this set are coastal mixed stock: salt on metal, older tile, flashings that fret sooner than they do inland. Frankston is where replacement is the lead. Metal and old tile are replaced when salt has eaten the iron or the tile body has finished. Mornington is the same climate and often a leak-first call. We do not arrive with a re-roof because the address is on the bay. We replace when the roof cannot be repaired honestly.

The scope names the new material and how it will live in salt air: flashings, fixings, and whether timber at the eaves is still timber. Sarking, disposal, gutters and solar are listed if they are in the job. A coastal quote that says “new roof” and leaves the flashings as the old lace iron is not a replacement. The Melbourne method is on roof replacement Melbourne. What changes here is the speed of corrosion, not the paperwork.

The wrong job is a cheap coat on holed sheet, or an inland concrete-restore package on a metal roof that never had ridge mortar. Salt left under a film returns as peel. A tile that has spalled from years of coastal wetting does not become dense because it is painted. If the failure is one flashing and the sheet is still sheet, this page is the wrong one. That is a repair. If the leak is active and local, it is a leak repair. Replacement starts when those smaller jobs would be fiction.

Access along a sloping Frankston block, or a Mornington house with limited side setback, is priced before a start. Skips, edge protection and the state of the eaves timber change the week. We do not copy a flat inland estate rate onto a coastal roof and hope the salt is a footnote.

Suburb scopes already written

The replacement page already on this site is Frankston. Mornington sits in the same salt corridor and is not linked here as a second re-roof. Use the Frankston page for that street. Use this page for the peninsula rule: replace what salt has finished, and do not coat the rest.
