Roof repairs and restoration in Redbank
Redbank sits on the Brisbane River about 11 km east of the Ipswich CBD, between Goodna Creek and Six Mile Creek. Its name comes from Major Edmund Lockyer’s description of the riverbanks when he explored the Brisbane River by boat.
Farmers settled the river flats in the late 1850s, growing maize, potatoes and cotton, before dairying, coal mining and the Redbank Railway Workshops took over. Today the homes sit mostly between the railway and the Ipswich Motorway, with industry to the north and bushland to the south.

Homes and businesses: what Redbank roofs need
Redbank mixes older houses with commercial and industrial buildings, so we see a wide range of roofs.
Older homes
Rust at the laps and fixings, cracked ridge pointing and tired flashings are the usual problems on homes that have had the same roof for decades.
Gutters near the bush
Homes close to the bushland south of the motorway collect more leaves in their gutters and valleys, which overflow in summer storms.
Commercial and industrial roofs
Large, low pitch metal roofs on workshops and warehouses leak at laps, fixings and box gutters, and small faults can let in a lot of water.
Skylights and penetrations
Vents, skylights and roof mounted equipment are common leak points on both homes and commercial buildings.
A note on older homes
Homes built in Queensland before 1990 may contain asbestos in materials such as fibro sheeting. If yours is older, let us know when you book.
Choosing the right work
Where the roof is sound, we repair what is broken and leave the rest. Where wear has spread across the roof, a restoration renews it in one job. For commercial buildings, we can recoat sound metal roofs and replace sections that have rusted through. Major works carry our 10-year warranty on workmanship and materials.

Redbank roofing FAQs
Do you do commercial roofing in Redbank?
Yes. We repair and maintain roofs on commercial and industrial buildings, and plan the work around your operations where we can.
Can you fix a roof that has been patched many times?
Yes. We look at the old patches and the roof around them so the leak is fixed at its source rather than covered again.
How much does a roof restoration cost?
It depends on the size, material, condition and access. We inspect the roof and give you a free quote based on your actual roof.
