Roof repairs and maintenance in Augustine Heights
Augustine Heights is one of the suburbs of Greater Springfield, Australia’s largest master planned community, about 13 km east of the Ipswich CBD. It was officially named in 2003, the same year St Augustine’s College opened; the college chapel, St Monica’s, is the old St Stephen’s Catholic Church, moved here from Laravale.
Homes in Augustine Heights are mostly modern, built from the early 2000s onward. Newer roofs rarely need restoring, but they do leak, block up and take storm damage, which is where most of our work here comes from.

Common problems on newer Augustine Heights roofs
On homes of this age, the trouble is rarely the roof covering itself.
Wall and roof junctions
Where a roof meets a higher wall, the flashing has to be right. Poorly fitted junctions are one of the most common leaks on newer homes.
Sealant around penetrations
Silicone around vents, skylights and flashings dries and cracks with sun exposure, often well before the roof ages.
Storm damage
Hail and strong wind can crack tiles or dent and lift metal sheets, whatever the age of the roof.
Gutters and downpipes
Leaves and roof grit build up in gutters and downpipes, and they overflow in summer storms.
What we recommend
For newer homes, targeted repairs and regular maintenance usually keep the roof in top shape. If the colour has faded across the roof, a repaint can refresh it. Major works carry our 10-year warranty on workmanship and materials.

Augustine Heights roofing FAQs
My home is fairly new. Why is the roof leaking?
Leaks on newer homes usually come from flashings, sealant joins, solar panel fixings or blocked gutters rather than the tiles or sheets. We find the source and fix it.
Do you repair storm damage?
Yes. We repair cracked tiles, lifted sheets and damaged flashings after storms.
Do I need an inspection before a quote?
For most jobs we look at the roof first, because the cause of a leak is not always where it shows inside.
