Claire H

“John is outstanding - an extremely experienced and professional roofer. Our South Melbourne Victorian terrace house with a slate had, after many years, some damaged slate tiles and gaps in the roofing which we only became aware of during some renovation work. It was in a difficult to reach position. John agreed to come to quote within days and then did the work of replacing tiles and fixing the gaps within a few weeks despite a busy schedule. He was very reasonably priced for the work and a pleasure to deal with. Thankyou”

Arthur Mitchell

“John and the team at Abardeen did a great job in replacing an old corrugated iron roof with a fantastic looking new slate roof. All completed in a few weeks and done with care and craftsmanship!”

Vincent O'Donnell

“When John Spinner came to quote on long need work on my slate roof, the conversation turned, of course, to slate as a roofing material. And as the conversation continue, I realised that John's knowledge of slate was far beyond a journeyman tradesman. He identified the region in the UK where the slate was likely quarried, and said that at 125 years, the roof had served well beyond the expected life of slates from that region. The job was, of necessity (cost), to be tackled in two parts. First the east and north faces, the east being the most deteriorated, and later the west and south. The original slates were 24 x 12 inch, and as they were in short supply, after the Abbottsford Convent re-roof, John would recycle as many as were serviceable. The quote was a pleasant surprise. After the first day of stripping slates, John acknowledged that fewer slates were serviceable than the visual inspection suggested. He said we could continue with the original plan, but he couldn't be sure how long the roof would remain serviceable. He illustrated his concern by tapping a just-usable slate with a hammer. A heavy hailstone could hit that hard. A dull thud and the slate crumbled. Or I could opt for 18 x 12 inch recycled Penrhyn slate at extra cost. When a craftsman says Plan A won't work, and gives you Plan B at a manageable margin more, you are a fool not to take Plan B. The job was finished promptly and six months late John and Jake, his off-sider, returned to finish the job, including re-crafting a replica of the houndstooth signature pattern on the front, south facing roof. According to John, this pattern was the signature of a master slater, name unknown, who worked the northern suburbs of Melbourne in the last decades of the 19th century. This roof is the only example of his work, west of the Moonee Ponds Creek. I have only one regret. When I am gone, some lard-arsed developer is going to see past the craftsmanship and history of this late Victorian cottage and see only the three or four claustrophobic townhouses, they could shoehorn onto the block.”

Frequently Asked Questions

General Roofing questions for Moonee Ponds

How much does a roof replacement cost in Australia?

Replacing a standard tiled roof on a 3-bedroom home typically costs $8,000–$18,000. Metal (Colorbond) roofing runs $10,000–$25,000. Factors include roof area, pitch, removal of existing material, and accessibility.

How often should a roof be inspected?

Australian roofing experts recommend an inspection every 2 years, and after any severe storm or hail event. Coastal and high-rainfall areas may need annual inspections due to accelerated wear from salt air and moisture.

Can I walk on my own roof?

Unless you're a trained roofer with appropriate safety equipment, do not walk on your roof. Falls from roofs are one of the leading causes of serious injury in Australia. Even experienced trades use harness systems and edge protection.

What is roof repointing and do I need it?

Repointing is the renewal of the bedding and pointing compound around ridge and hip cappings. Over time, cement-based pointing cracks and allows water ingress. Signs you need repointing include loose or shifted cappings, cracking mortar, and water stains on ceilings.

What's the difference between roof restoration and roof replacement?

Restoration involves cleaning, repointing, resealing, and repainting an existing roof — typically $2,500–$6,000. Replacement means removing and installing new roofing — $8,000–$25,000+. A roofer can assess which is appropriate for your roof's condition.
