The Situation
A homeowner in Westmeadows gave us a call after noticing water leaks in their roof, especially around the carport area. Roof leaks are never fun, especially with winter rains on the way, and they wanted it sorted quickly and properly.
Inspection and Diagnosis
We arrived on time and carried out a full roof inspection. It didn’t take long to see the main issues. The valley iron was rusted and in poor condition. On top of that, the existing flashing had been incorrectly installed and wasn’t directing water properly, which was contributing to the leaks. These issues were allowing water to seep into areas it shouldn’t, and if left unattended, could cause more serious damage to the roof and structure.
The Solution
We explained the problem to the homeowner and offered a budget-friendly option to get things watertight again. Instead of a full valley replacement, we recommended resealing the valley to extend its life and adding all-new, custom-made flashing to the roof of the carport. This approach was not only cost-effective but also provided a strong, durable solution to prevent leaks from returning any time soon.
We got to work straight away. The job involved:
- Cleaning and preparing the rusted valley area
- Applying a high-quality sealant to stop any active leaks
- Measuring and installing new custom flashing to the carport roof
- Testing the repairs to make sure water would be properly diverted away from the problem areas
The entire job was completed in one visit, and we left the site clean and tidy. The homeowner was relieved to have the leaks sorted without a full roof replacement, and with a solution that came with our lifetime workmanship guarantee.

- Same-day inspection and repair completed in one visit
- Custom flashing installed for a perfect fit
- No mess left behind — site left clean and tidy
- Clear pricing with no hidden surprises

Why Proper Flashing and Valley Sealing Matter
Flashing is one of the most important parts of a roof’s defence against water leaks. If it’s not installed correctly, or if it’s damaged over time, water can get under the roof covering and cause serious damage. A rusted valley can lead to leaks and even structural issues if left untreated. Proper inspections, maintenance, and timely repairs save homeowners from bigger headaches and costs down the line.
