Just reliable workmanship from qualified and licensed Roof Plumbers and Roof Tilers, using materials chosen for the conditions here.
Whether it’s a single leak letting in rain, broken tiles, failed flashing, or storm damage, we’ll inspect your roof thoroughly and tell you exactly what it needs. If a targeted repair is sufficient, that’s what we’ll recommend. If your roof’s condition means restoration or replacement is the smarter long-term investment, we’ll tell you that too — because the right answer for your home matters more than the size of the job.
Michael Lanyon leads every on-site assessment personally, drawing on the experience First Class Roofing has built over more than 25 years in business to work out what your roof actually needs.

First Class Roofing handles the full range of residential roof repairs — from a single cracked tile or failed flashing to storm damage, ridge capping repointing, gutter repairs, and persistent leaks that have defied previous fixes. Whether the problem showed up as a water stain on your ceiling after heavy rain or visible damage following a hail event, we start by identifying the root cause, not just the surface symptom. That distinction is what separates a repair that lasts from one that fails at the next storm.
Material choice determines how long any repair actually holds, and the local climate makes this non-negotiable. Intense summer heat, sudden hail, and heavy rain across a single season place real stress on roofing materials. We match every repair to your existing roof: Colorbond and metal roofing for durability and heat resistance, terracotta and concrete tiles for heritage and period homes, and purpose-rated flashing and bedding compounds throughout. Where a repair uses Colorbond or steel sheeting, the product carries a 20 year materials warranty from Bluescope Steel. A repair carried out with substandard materials simply moves the failure date forward — that’s not a repair, it’s a delay.
On cost: we don’t publish price tables, because a roof quoted from a phone call or a photo isn’t a quote, it’s a guess. What we will commit to is the process. We inspect first, then give you a detailed, fixed written quote with no hidden costs, so the figure you approve is the figure you pay. Our pricing is competitive, and the aim is straightforward value for money: work that solves the problem properly the first time. Where you have localised damage — a single leak, broken tiles, or failed flashing on a structurally sound roof — a targeted repair is usually the most cost effective path, and we’ll confirm that honestly after inspection. Where we find widespread deterioration, or recurring leaks where repair costs start approaching replacement value, we’ll tell you that too. A minor leak that reaches ceiling timbers within one wet season turns a modest repair into a structural one, so catching problems early is always the smarter investment.

When we inspect your roof, we don’t stop at the visible damage. Water that appears as a ceiling stain or a single cracked tile has often travelled — through sarking, along battens, into the roof cavity — before it shows itself inside your home. Our inspection process traces damage back to its root cause, not just its surface symptom. Our qualified and licensed Roof Plumbers and Roof Tilers assess the surrounding structure, the flashing junctions, the ridge capping, and the drainage path that heavy rain takes across your specific roof, because a repair that misses the underlying cause will fail again.
The concern we hear most often is this: “Will they just push me toward a full replacement when a repair would do?” With over 25 years of roofing work across Melbourne behind us, we have built our reputation on the opposite approach. If your roof has localised damage — a single leak, failed flashing, broken tiles, or storm impact on an otherwise sound structure — we will tell you a repair is sufficient and carry it out properly. If the damage is widespread, or if repair costs are approaching replacement value, we will tell you that honestly and talk you through restoration or replacement instead.
That position is backed by the paperwork, not just the pitch. Our tradespeople are qualified and licensed Roof Plumbers and Roof Tilers. Completed work is covered by a Compliance Certificate issued by the Plumbing Board, confirming it meets required standards. We hold plumber’s insurance, public and product liability cover up to $20 million, and WorkCover, and all work sites comply with Worksafe Victoria requirements. We provide a 10 year guarantee on workmanship, and Colorbond and steel materials carry the 20 year materials warranty from Bluescope Steel. We provide tailored solutions based on what your roof actually needs — nothing more, and nothing less.

Most roof leaks trace back to failed flashing — the metal sealing around chimneys, skylights, valleys, and roof penetrations. Water doesn’t always enter where it appears on your ceiling; it travels along rafters before it drips. We locate the true entry point before touching anything. We then replace or reseal the flashing using materials rated for the temperature extremes a roof here has to handle, so the repair holds through heavy rain rather than lasting until the next wet season.
A single cracked or slipped tile left unrepaired can allow water into the roof cavity within one rain event, and what starts as a straightforward fix becomes a structural problem once ceiling timbers are saturated. We source replacement terracotta and concrete tiles matched to your existing roof for colour and profile, so the repair is structurally sound and visually consistent. Every tile is re-bedded and re-pointed to the same standard as the original installation.
Ridge capping mortar deteriorates over time. It dries out, cracks, and eventually allows caps to shift or lift. It is one of the most common causes of the recurring leaks we diagnose. We repoint and rebed ridge capping using flexible pointing compound rather than rigid cement, so it moves with the roof through seasonal expansion and contraction. That is the practical difference between a repair that lasts and one that opens up again.
After a storm event, the visible damage is rarely the full picture. We inspect the entire roof structure, not just the obvious impact points, to confirm what has actually been compromised, and we set out the scope of work in a written quote before anything starts. We can carry out storm repair work funded by an insurance claim. We don’t provide claims advice or advocacy, so questions about what your policy covers are best directed to your insurer. Repairs are scheduled within our operating hours and carried out using durable materials suited to local conditions.
Blocked, sagging, or leaking gutters direct water back against the fascia and into the roof edge — a slow form of damage that’s easy to miss until it’s expensive. We repair and realign gutters, replace damaged fascia sections, and reseal joints using materials matched to your existing system. Reliable gutter function is part of whole-roof protection, and we treat it as such.
Metal and Colorbond roofs develop specific failure points: lifted screws, corroded penetrations, failed lap joints, and cracked sealant. We source Colorbond directly from approved suppliers, so every repair uses product engineered for Australian conditions and covered by the 20 year materials warranty from Bluescope Steel. We re-screw, re-seal, and patch using colour-matched Colorbond where required, restoring full weather protection without compromising the roof’s appearance or long-term durability. If a metal roof has reached the point where patching no longer makes sense, our Colorbond roof replacement service is the better conversation to have.
Every repair recommendation we make is based on what genuinely protects your home long-term, not on what generates the largest job. Our inspection determines which path is right. Here’s how we frame it:
