We find the real source
Tile leaks rarely sit above the stain. Water tracks along battens and rafters first, so the fix starts with proper diagnosis — not another patch over the wrong spot.
Cracked tiles, crumbling ridge caps and wind-driven rain are the most common causes of leaking tiled roofs in Mackay. We connect you with a local, independent roof repairer to find the source and fix it properly.

Most local roofers chase full Colorbond re-roofs. We focus on the tiled roofs that older Mackay suburbs are full of — and the specific ways they fail in this climate.
Tile leaks rarely sit above the stain. Water tracks along battens and rafters first, so the fix starts with proper diagnosis — not another patch over the wrong spot.
Re-bedding, flexible repointing, slipped tiles and porous concrete each need a different repair. We match the method to the material — concrete, terracotta or slate.
Repairs are done with Mackay's cyclones, humidity and heavy summer rain in mind, so they hold up when the next big storm rolls through — not just on a dry day.
From a handful of cracked tiles to a full re-bed and re-point, here's the work a local partner can take care of.

Full clean, re-bed, re-point, seal and recoat to bring a tired tiled roof back to a watertight, weather-ready condition.

Wind-driven rain pushes water up under tile overlaps, then it tracks along timbers before dripping — often metres from the real entry point.
Heat and movement crack old cement bedding. Loose ridge caps let water in and can be torn off in high winds.
As frames move with humidity, tiles slip from their grooves or hairline-crack, exposing the battens and ceiling directly to rain.
Leaf litter dams the valley channels. In a downpour the water backs up, runs sideways over the flashing and floods the roof cavity.
Homes built before the mid-1980s often lack the wind clips now required in cyclone regions, leaving tiles vulnerable in storms.
Even a slow drip traps damp in a hot roof cavity, breeding mould and rotting timber — turning a small repair into a big one.
