Roofing Heritage Homes in Hunters Hill
About three quarters of the Municipality of Hunters Hill is declared a conservation area, and it is recognised as Australia’s oldest garden suburb. More than 500 places are listed for their environmental heritage, from sandstone workers’ cottages to grand waterfront homes.
Much of the area was built from local golden sandstone by Italian stonemasons who settled here from the 1850s. That character is why a roof repair in Hunters Hill needs to blend in. We match your existing tile profile and colour, including heritage and discontinued tiles where we can, and we work with slate specialists when a roof is slate.
If your home is heritage listed or in a conservation area and you’re planning more than a like-for-like repair, check with Hunters Hill Council before changing materials or colours. Visit our ROOF REPAIRS page to learn more.
Emergency Roof Leak Repairs in Hunters Hill & Woolwich
In an older home, water can travel along timbers and walls before it shows up inside. We trace the leak to where it is really getting in and repair that point properly, rather than patching the stain. Emergency calls take priority, and we typically attend within 24 hours to make a damaged roof safe. See our roof leak repair service.
Roof Ventilation Hunters Hill | Low-Profile Vents for Period Roofs
Older homes can trap heat and damp air in the roof space. Our low-profile solar vents sit almost flush with the roofline and can be colour-matched to tiles or Colorbond, so they help keep the house cooler without spoiling a heritage roofline.
Common Roofing Issues We Fix Around Hunters Hill
Older Tile Roofs and Ridge Capping
Many Hunters Hill homes have tile roofs that have been repaired and patched over the decades. The usual trouble spots are:
- Ridge capping with crumbling or missing bedding
- Slipped or broken tiles from branches and storms
- Rusted valley irons that leak in heavy rain
- Tired sarking under the tiles
We re-bed ridges with flexible pointing and replace failed valleys, and we match the tiles already on the roof so repairs do not stand out.
Visit our ROOF REPAIRS page.
Waterfront Salt Air and Damp
Homes on the water in Woolwich, Henley, Huntleys Point and Huntleys Cove deal with salt air and damp, which are hard on metal. Watch for:
- Corroded screws and fixings that let water in
- Rust at flashings and valley irons
- Moss on shaded tiles that rarely dry out
Regular checks of these parts catch problems while repairs are small, and we use fixings and flashings suited to the conditions.
Visit our METAL ROOFING page.
Chimneys, Stone Walls and Flashings
Older stone and brick homes often have chimneys and walls that meet the roof, which are common places for leaks:
- Chimney flashings that have perished or pulled away
- Roof-to-wall junctions where sealant has failed
- Box gutters that overflow into the roof space
We inspect each junction and repair or replace the flashing properly, so the leak does not return.

Suburbs We Cover
Hunters Hill
A small peninsula between the Lane Cove and Parramatta Rivers, with sandstone cottages, heritage-listed homes and leafy gardens. Most of the municipality is a conservation area.
Woolwich
On the water at the end of the peninsula, with the heritage-listed Woolwich Dock nearby. Salt air and wind make flashings, ridge capping and metal fixings worth checking.
Henley
A quiet waterside suburb beside Gladesville Reserve. Roofs here deal with river damp and nearby trees, so valleys, gutters and metal fixings need regular attention.
Huntleys Point
On the northern shore of the Parramatta River, just west of the Gladesville Bridge. Waterfront exposure makes flashings and metal fixings worth regular checks.
Huntleys Cove
A small suburb on the peninsula between Tarban Creek and the Parramatta River. Many homes sit close to the water, so we look closely at flashings, valleys and fixings.
Nearby
Also covering Gladesville (see our Ryde page), Lane Cove, Riverview, Greenwich and Longueville, with more across the Lower North Shore.
