Roof repairs and restoration in Moores Pocket
Moores Pocket is a small suburb almost completely wrapped by a bend of the Bremer River, about 3 km from the Ipswich CBD. Boundary Road separates it from Tivoli on the north west.
It was badly damaged in the 1893 flood and flooded again in 2011, so it pays to keep roofs, gutters and downpipes in good order.

What we check first in Moores Pocket
Homes in Moores Pocket commonly need help with these.
Flashings at walls
Older flashings where the roof meets a wall or chimney often lift and let water in.
Leaf filled valleys
Trees along the river drop leaves into roof valleys, which then overflow under the covering.
Flood history
If your home has been through a flood, it is worth checking the roof cavity, gutters and downpipes along with the rest of the house.
A note on older homes
Homes built in Queensland before 1990 may contain asbestos in materials such as fibro sheeting. If your home is older, let us know when you book, so the job can be planned safely.
Choosing the right work
We recommend the smallest job that will fix the problem properly. That might be a repair, a repaint or a full restoration, and we will tell you plainly if replacement is the better spend.

Moores Pocket roofing FAQs
Should I check my roof after a flood?
It is worth having the roof cavity, gutters and downpipes checked as part of any flood recovery, as damage is not always visible from the ground.
What should I do if my roof leaks in a storm?
Stay off the roof. Put a bucket under the drip, move valuables out of the way and note where the water appears. Then call us on (07) 3732 7086.
