You're Local Roof Plumbing Problem Solvers
At iFix Roofing Geelong, we know Drysdale roofs — and we know what the Bellarine Peninsula's mix of coastal moisture, winter storms and summer heat does to them over time. Roof plumbing is the system that keeps all of that weather where it belongs: outside.
We handle everything from leaking flashings and blocked downpipes to full gutter replacements and roof plumbing for new installations and tile-to-metal conversions. Every job is carried out by our licensed roof plumber, in full compliance with Australian standards.
We use premium materials rated for coastal and semi-rural conditions, so what we install is built to last — not just to get through the next rainy season. We also take care of building permits where required, making the whole process easier for you. Drysdale locals keep coming back because we're honest, reliable and we actually show up when we say we will.

Bellarine Puts Roofs to the Test
Living on the Bellarine means your roof plumbing is constantly up against something — salt-laced winds off the bay, heavy winter downpours and the kind of summer heat that accelerates corrosion faster than most people realise. We've seen what happens when roof plumbing is installed with the wrong materials or skipped over during a renovation and it's never a cheap fix.
That's why we inspect the full system on every job — flashings, valleys, downpipe connections, gutter falls and drainage outlets — rather than just patching the obvious problem and moving on. We service properties across Drysdale, Clifton Springs, Portarlington and Leopold and we're genuinely familiar with the roofing quirks of homes throughout the area.
Our customers tell us they appreciate that we explain what we find in plain language, give honest recommendations and don't vanish once the invoice is sent. That's just how we think a trade business should operate.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is roof plumbing and is it different from regular plumbing?
Roof plumbing and general plumbing are related trades but cover very different areas of a property. A roof plumber works on the exterior systems that manage rainwater — including gutters, downpipes, flashings, valleys, ridgecaps, and roof drainage. A general plumber handles the internal systems, such as hot and cold water supply, waste pipes, and gas fitting. In Australia, roof plumbing is a separately licensed trade, meaning a general plumber is not automatically qualified to carry out roof plumbing work. When you need gutters replaced, flashings repaired, or a roof drainage system installed, a licensed roof plumber is the right person for the job. On some projects — particularly new builds or major renovations — both trades may be involved at different stages of the work.
Why is my roof leaking even though it looks fine from outside?
This is one of the most common and frustrating roofing situations homeowners face. A roof can appear intact from the ground while still allowing water in through small but significant failure points. The most common culprits are deteriorated or lifted flashings around chimneys, skylights, or roof penetrations, failed sealant at overlaps or junctions, and hairline cracks in valleys that only allow water through under specific rainfall conditions. Debris accumulation in valleys can also cause water to back up and find its way under sheeting. In older homes, sarking — the moisture barrier beneath the roofing material — may have degraded and no longer provides a secondary line of defence. Because these issues aren't visible from the ground, a hands-on inspection by a licensed roof plumber is the most reliable way to identify the source of a leak and fix it properly.
How much does roof plumbing cost in Australia?
Roof plumbing costs vary considerably depending on the scope of the work, the materials used, and the complexity of the job. Minor repairs — such as resealing a flashing or clearing a blocked downpipe — may cost a few hundred dollars. A full gutter and downpipe replacement on an average-sized home typically ranges from $1,500 to $5,000 or more, depending on the linear metres involved, the profile chosen, and whether fascia repairs are needed at the same time. Larger jobs such as a complete roof plumbing installation as part of a tile-to-metal conversion will sit at the higher end of the pricing scale. The best approach is always to get a written quote from a licensed roof plumber who has inspected the property in person, as online estimates can vary significantly from the actual cost once the full scope of work is assessed.
