Roofing in Essendon
Essendon has some of the larger period housing in the inner north-west: substantial Edwardian and interwar homes, many with complex roof forms, original terracotta or slate, and the kind of detail that rewards being restored rather than replaced.
What we see here
The faults that come up most in Essendon.
- Complex roof geometry: multiple planes, hips and valleys on one house
- Original slate needing individual tile replacement rather than wholesale work
- Two-storey access requiring scaffold, which is planned into the quote upfront
- Terracotta needing matched replacement tiles that have to be sourced
- Chimney flashings on period homes that have never been properly redone
