Roof Plumber Cheltenham
On Cheltenham’s post-war streets, a leak in a tiled roof almost never starts at the tiles. It starts at the valley irons, the flashings and the gutters, the metal parts of the roof a roof plumber looks after. Around Town Plumbing has been repairing exactly those leaks across Melbourne’s south-east since 2007, from a Dandenong base a short run from Cheltenham. We handle roof leaks, valley and flashing repairs, gutters and downpipes and metal roofing on the established homes near Westfield Southland, plus the retail and commercial roofs along the Nepean Highway corridor. We work tiled roofs within an honest roof-plumbing scope, the leaks, valleys, flashings and gutters, rather than claiming to re-bed a whole tile roof. Our response is same-day where we can manage it for active leaks inside business hours, Monday to Friday 7am to 5pm. Call 03 7023 5494 for a free quote and a fixed price agreed before we start.
Valley, Flashing And Gutter Leaks On Cheltenham's Post-War Roofs
The roof plumbing Cheltenham’s established homes actually need:
- Roof leak detection and repair on tiled, metal and Colorbond roofs
- Roof flashing and valley-iron repairs, the usual leak points on period roofs
- Gutter repairs, gutter cleaning, re-gutter and downpipe replacement
- Box gutters, rainheads and roof drainage on larger and commercial roofs
- Metal and Colorbond roof repair, re-roof and installation
- Roof inspections and preventive maintenance
- Skylight repair and replacement, and fibreglass sheet work
That is our confirmed scope. Work outside it, such as fire-service systems, we leave to the right trade and say so plainly.

Who You Are Dealing With At Around Town Plumbing
Around Town Plumbing has been run by brothers Aidan and Liam Baggoley since they started it in 2007, working south-east homes, shops and strata property. On a roof, licensed and insured is the assurance that matters most, because the work is out of sight and it either holds or it does not. We are fully licensed and insured, with third-party safety accreditation, and every job carries our 100% seven-year workmanship guarantee. Our full credentials are set out on our About page and across the areas we serve.
Gutters, Downpipes And Metal Roofing
Beyond the flashings and valleys, the other constant on Cheltenham’s older homes is tired gutters. Steel gutters rust from the joints and low points, and once they leak or overflow they take the fascia and eaves with them. We clear and repair gutters where it is worth it, and re-run the whole gutter and downpipe line where it has rusted past a patch. On homes with metal roofing, or those re-sheeting to Colorbond, we repair leaks, replace corroded sections and handle the flashings and penetrations that come with it.
Commercial And Retail Roofs Around Southland
Cheltenham is not only houses. The Southland precinct and the Nepean Highway business corridor bring shop, showroom and commercial roofs into the mix, and those often drain through box gutters and long downpipe runs that overflow inside the building when an outlet blocks. We clear and repair box gutters, sort the drainage, and trace leaks on larger roofs, coordinating access and working around trading hours to keep the disruption down. Owners-corporation buildings and strata roofs around the corridor fall into the same lane, where a single leak affects more than one tenancy and has to be handled without shutting the place down. That commercial and retail roof work is a genuine part of what we do, and it is thinly covered by the residential roof-restoration crowd.
Roof Inspections, Skylights And Preventive Maintenance
The cheapest roof repair is usually the one caught early. A roof inspection before the wet months finds the lifted flashing, the rusting gutter or the cracked valley while it is still a small job, not after it has stained a ceiling. We also repair and replace skylights, including the fibreglass sheet work that goes with them, sealing the flashings properly so the skylight does not become the next leak.
Free Quote, Fixed Price, No Surprises
Roof work ranges from a single flashing to a full re-gutter, so we quote each job after seeing it rather than publishing a rate that would not fit. You get a free quote with an upfront fixed price agreed before any work begins, no surprise call-out fee, and the seven-year workmanship guarantee on the repair.

Roof Plumber Cheltenham FAQs
How Much Do Roof Plumbers Charge?
It depends on the roof and the fault, so we quote after inspecting rather than repeating a broad online range. You get a free quote and a fixed, upfront price with no hidden call-out fee.
Is A Roof Plumber Different From A Plumber?
Yes. A roof plumber is licensed for the water side of the roof: gutters, downpipes, box gutters, flashings, valleys, roof drainage and metal roofing. That is the specialty that stops roof leaks.
How Much On Average Does It Cost To Fix A Leaking Roof?
There is no meaningful average, because a resealed flashing and a re-gutter are very different jobs. We inspect the roof, tell you the actual cause, and give you a fixed price for that specific repair.
What Is The Cheapest Way To Fix A Leaking Roof?
Finding and fixing the real cause early, before the water damages the roof timbers and ceiling. A cheap patch over the wrong spot is the most expensive route, because it leaks again and the damage keeps growing.
Are You Licensed And Insured?
Fully licensed and insured, with third-party safety accreditation and the seven-year workmanship guarantee on every job.
For a Cheltenham roof plumber who knows a post-war roof leaks at the valleys and flashings, not the tiles, call Around Town Plumbing on 03 7023 5494.
