Gutter Maintenance

Roof plumbers are adept at handling gutter maintenance tasks. They can install, repair, and maintain gutters and downpipes, ensuring efficient water flow and preventing water damage to your property. Regular gutter cleaning and maintenance are essential to prevent blockages and ensure proper drainage.

Roof Replacements

If your roof is beyond repair or no longer serving its purpose effectively, a roof plumber can assist with roof replacements. They can guide you in selecting the right roofing materials and carry out the installation, ensuring a durable and long-lasting roof.

Regular roof inspections are vital to identify potential issues before they escalate. Roof plumbers can conduct thorough inspections, checking for leaks, damage, structural problems, and other issues that may compromise your roof’s stability. Their expertise enables them to detect hidden problems and provide appropriate solutions.

Proper roof ventilation is crucial for maintaining a healthy roof and preventing issues such as mould, condensation, and excessive heat buildup. A roof plumber can assess your roof’s ventilation system and recommend or install adequate ventilation solutions to optimize airflow.

Roof Plumbing Installations

Roof plumbers are skilled in installing and maintaining various roof plumbing systems. Whether you need a rainwater tank, solar hot water system, or roof-mounted ventilation system, a roof plumber can handle the installation and ensure the proper functioning of these systems.

Stormwater Drainage

Efficient stormwater drainage is essential to protect your property from water damage during heavy rainfall. Roof plumbers can install and maintain effective stormwater drainage systems, including downpipes and drains, to ensure proper water flow and prevent water pooling on your roof or around your property.

Roof Waterproofing

For flat or low-sloped roofs, roof plumbers can provide waterproofing services. They can apply suitable waterproofing membranes or coatings to protect your roof from water infiltration and prevent leaks, ensuring a watertight roof.

The reality of why I initiated this overview. Our very old slate roof was slowly breaking apart with leaks increasing. Opinions on patching repairs and 4 quotes ( 10-15% variable off each) on total replacement later, decision made, Harley & Sons. So glad, then the detailed inspections, measurements, colour choices , gutters, facial structure, permits, authorities paperwork.....planning, etc. Then the actual multi layered team of workers doing the job, fantastic, All the neighbours saying, WoW 👌 Then "i" waited for 1st rain, got up on roof, ( got drenched) but watched the perfect flow of water to down pipes, then drains."She" is even happier, therefore I wrote this review. Now we can think "Solar"etc.

The process from start to finish was excellent. We have had some heavy downpours in Melbourne since the work was done and all is working as it should. I would get Harley and Sons Roofing again.

I had my gutters cleaned today and the excellent service by Lochie was outstanding.
I’ve previously used other gutter vac companies over the years but I won’t be using anyone else from now on except Harley & Sons Roofing to clean out my gutters.
Lochie noticed one of my roof tiles was cracked and replaced it with another I had spare.
Thankyou for an excellent job done today and I’ll see you again next year

I was extremely happy with my experience with Harley & Sons. I think they actually provided the quote the same day I rang for a quote to get my gutters cleaned. Their quote was virtually half of what another company had previously quoted me. They provided before and after pics so I could actually see how clogged the gutters were. The lady I liased with were friendly and helpful (Rachel). I would not hesitate to recommend them for a job well done.

We just purchased our first house and the gutters were in a bad way. I reached out for an online quote on the weekend, I had a call by Monday and they were able to book me in on the Wednesday - the price was very reasonable and the staff were lovely to deal with. On the day, the team arrived on time I was able to head to work while they finished up. I got phones sent to me from the person on site as on as he was done. I would absolutely recommend Harley & Sons

I am incredibly happy with the end result. The replacement of the gutters, fascias and downpipes, and the restoration of the roof on my 60 year old house, now has it looking like new. The job was done in a timely manner, and the tradies were friendly and helpful. Thank you so much for a job well done.

We’ve had such a good experience with the Harley crew for what was well overdue re-roof for a not so well done reno some years back - hence some random and irritating leaks. The site management and communications was right on the ball and the on-site crew always willing to explain the work stages. Technically the work is high quality and we know it will last. Most of all, the crew were very polite and considerate - so a welcome and somewhat refreshing experience for a tradie! Needless to say Harley’s will be first to mind when we need work in the future.

A Happy Householder in Blackburn South.

Recently had Harley & Sons pressure clean and reseal our roof before our solar installation.

Their communication throughout the entire process , both before, during and after the project, was excellent, keeping us well-informed at every step.

The roof now looks brand new, and we are really happy with our decision to go with Harley & Sons for the job.
