Box Gutters and Parapets on Strata Buildings
Box gutters sit inside the roof line, so when they block or rust, water overflows into the building rather than outside.
We clear and repair box gutters, check outlets and overflows, and repair parapet flashings that have pulled away from the wall.
Flexible Pointing Explained
Older roofs were pointed with a cement mix that cracks as the roof moves with heat and cold. Modern flexible pointing stays slightly elastic, so it holds a seal for much longer.
When we repoint, we prepare the ridge, apply flexible pointing in a consistent bead and tool it neatly so water runs off rather than sitting on the ridge.
Why Roofs Leak in Heavy Rain
Many roofs only leak in heavy or wind-driven rain. Valleys overflow when they can't carry the volume, wind pushes water under loose ridge caps, and water that normally runs off finds gaps around flashings and vents.
Because these leaks come and go, they're easy to ignore. Fixing the cause early stops water damaging ceilings, insulation and timbers.
