Stop the leak before it becomes a ceiling
A stain on the ceiling is a late warning — by then water has often already tracked through the insulation, the plasterboard and the timber above it. The earlier a repair happens, the cheaper and simpler it stays.
We repair roofs right across Nowra, Bomaderry and the wider Shoalhaven, on every roof type the region runs — terracotta and concrete tile on the established suburbs, and Colorbond and zincalume steel on the newer homes and rural sheds. Call (02) 4406 4996 for a free roof inspection and we'll find the source of the problem. Licensed & insured. Workmanship warranty on every repair.
The repairs we do most around here
- Leak detection and repair — finding where water actually gets in, which is rarely directly above the stain.
- Broken, cracked and slipped tiles — replaced and re-secured before the next downpour finds the gap.
- Ridge cap repointing — crumbling mortar is the single most common tile-roof fault we see across Nowra.
- Flashing and valley repairs — the joins around chimneys, skylights and valleys where leaks usually begin.
- Rusted and leaking metal roofs — sheet replacement, flashing renewal and treatment, especially on coastal homes.
- Storm damage — lifted sheets, cracked tiles and torn flashing after high winds and hail.

Where leaks start on a Shoalhaven roof
In our experience the water rarely comes in where the stain appears. The common entry points around here are:
- Failed ridge pointing on the older tiled streets of Nowra, Bomaderry and West Nowra — cracked, crumbling mortar lets water track straight under the caps.
- Valley and flashing joins around chimneys, skylights and where two roof planes meet — the first thing to lift in a gale.
- Cut edges and laps on coastal metal roofs at Huskisson, Vincentia, Culburra Beach and Callala Bay, where salt rusts the sheet from the edge inward.
- Box gutters and low-pitch sections on extensions and additions that pond water rather than shedding it.
- Storm-lifted sheets and slipped tiles that look fine from the street but have broken their seal.
We chase the actual path, not just the symptom, so the repair holds.
Why repairs can't wait in this climate
The Shoalhaven gets serious weather. East-coast lows drive rain hard and sideways, finding any weakness in a roof, and the region has a documented history of severe storms — the 1999 hailstorm supercell first formed just north of Nowra. A hairline crack or a lifted flashing that would sit harmlessly for years in a dry climate gets exploited here in a single big event. Closer to the coast, salt air eats at fixings and cut metal edges, turning a small rust spot into a hole far quicker than most homeowners expect. On the low-lying river flats around Terara, Greenwell Point and Shoalhaven Heads, a roof that can't shed a heavy downpour fast becomes a problem the moment the next system rolls in off the Tasman.
What a roof repair costs in the Shoalhaven
There is no honest flat price for a roof repair, so we won't pretend otherwise — but here's how the cost stacks up. A single slipped or cracked tile, a short length of repointing or one section of flashing is a small job. Tracing a hidden leak across a complex roof, repointing a full ridge line, or working over a steep two-storey or hard-access roof costs more because of the labour, access gear and time involved. The factors that move the price are roof size and pitch, the material, how reachable the work is, and how far the damage has spread by the time we see it. We inspect first and quote on what your roof actually needs — never a number guessed over the phone.
Honest advice, then a fair quote
We don't upsell a full restoration when a repair will do. We get on the roof, find the actual cause, and tell you straight whether a repair solves it or whether the roof has reached the point where restoration or replacement is the smarter spend. Every repair is licensed, insured and backed by a workmanship warranty.
If your roof took a hit in a storm, our storm and emergency repairs service can tarp it fast and document the damage for insurance.

FAQs
Frequently asked questions
How quickly can you fix a roof leak in Nowra?
For an active leak we prioritise getting you watertight — often a temporary tarp or seal the same week, with the permanent repair scheduled around a dry weather window. After a major east-coast low the whole region calls at once, so the sooner you ring, the sooner we can get to you.
How much does a roof repair cost?
There's no fixed price. A single slipped tile or a length of flashing is a modest job; tracing a hidden leak across a complex roof, or repairs over a steep two-storey home, costs more. We inspect first, then quote on what your roof actually needs — no guessing over the phone.
Should I repair or replace my roof?
If the roof is otherwise sound and you have one or two trouble spots, a targeted repair is the sensible choice. If you're getting recurring leaks, widespread cracked tiles or rust right through the sheets, repeated patching costs more over time than re-roofing. We'll tell you honestly which one your roof needs.
Do you repair leaks on flat and low-pitch roofs?
Yes. A lot of Shoalhaven homes and extensions have low-pitch metal or membrane sections that pond water and leak at the laps, box gutters and penetrations rather than the field of the roof. Those need a different approach to a steep tiled roof — re-lapping, sealing box gutters and renewing flashings — and we handle both.
Can you find a leak when it isn't raining?
Often, yes. Most leaks leave evidence — water staining on the underside of sarking, rust trails, perished pointing, lifted flashing or a cracked tile sitting above the stain line. We inspect the roof cavity as well as the surface to trace the path. If a leak only shows in wind-driven rain from one direction, we may need to test or wait for the right conditions, and we'll tell you that up front.
