FAQ - πŸ›‘οΈ JSIU Roofing: Payments, Trust & Transparency

 

πŸ›‘οΈ JSIU Roofing: Payments, Trust & Transparency 🀝

πŸ—“οΈ Operating Since 2014: Clear Answers for Your Peace of Mind πŸ§˜β€β™‚οΈ


We understand that hiring a tradesman πŸ‘·β€β™‚οΈβ€”especially a roofer πŸ β€”requires serious trust. You may have heard the horror stories 😱, or you might be working within a tight budget πŸ’Έ.


JSIU Roofing in 2014, started as a humble Sole Trader operation. , before becoming a registered company in 2019 🏒.

We have built a massive online presence 🌐 and a rock-solid reputation 🧱 over the last decade.


To ensure we are the right fit for each other 🧩, here are honest answers πŸ—£οΈ to the most common questions 


πŸ’šSee Where It All Began (2014)

❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) – JSIU Roofing

 A: It sounds like you really value the relationship we had with your dad, and I respect that history. But the reality is, I’m running a different operation now than I was seven years ago. I’ve invested high five figures in training and up-skilling to ensure I’m the best at what I do. With the overheads and expenses I carry today to guarantee quality work, working for free just isn't an option anymore. 


 A: We’ve been operating in Melbourne since 2014 and incorporated in 2019. We’re BPC registered, fully insured, GST compliant, and hold the required government licences and credentials. We’ve also been publicly visible on major platforms since 2014, with strong, consistent feedback β€” including over 179 reviews on a single platform alone.

A business doesn’t operate for over a decade by doing the wrong thing.


 A: The deposit isn’t about pressure β€” it’s about commitment. It covers a % of materials ordered specifically for your roof and locks your dates in our schedule. Once booked, we turn away other work to focus on your job.

Without a deposit, we can’t order materials or hold your spot.


 A: Thank you for considering us again. However,  a lot can change in 24 months, especially when it comes to roof repairs. Environmental factors, can significantly impact the condition since our last inspection. Given the unpredictable Melbourne weather, we assume there might be more damage or new issues that need addressing. Therefore, we recommend a new assessment to provide you with an accurate and updated quote for your specific situation. 


 A: Payments must follow the invoice due dates. If the budget isn’t ready yet, it’s best to organise that first and book us when you’re comfortable. 


 A: Typically, no, we do not provide a warranty on patch repair work. Patch repairs can be challenging to warrant because they often do not meet Australian standards and may not provide a long-term solution to the underlying issue. 


 A: Upon reviewing the quote you received, it appears the business is not registered for GST, which suggests their gross annual revenue is likely below $75,000. I also couldn’t find any basic information regarding their work cover, public liability insurance, or business insurance. The absence of these critical details raises serious concerns about whether they’re properly qualified to perform the job. 


 A:  No, we can’t. The tradesmen you’re comparing us with on Gumtree or Facebook aren’t companies β€” most aren’t registered for GST and some don’t even have an ABN. We can’t compete with those types of operators. Just keep in mind, they often offer lower prices by cutting corners and not following regulations, 


 A: We serve the elderly only when working directly with their caregiver or NDIS/DHS. This policy ensures clarity, prevents Miscommunication & Misunderstanding it also protects vulnerable individuals. While we don't offer pension discounts, we provide competitive pricing for all clients, maintaining transparency and fairness. 


 A: We appreciate your trust in our expertise. While our dedication to providing free information remains unwavering, representing you against your insurance company involves substantial time and resources. Unfortunately, we need to charge fees to cover overhead expenses. We believe fair compensation is essential to deliver the quality service necessary for a thorough and effective legal representation. 


  A: Yes, we offer emergency repairs for urgent issues like leaks or storm damage. Our team is available 24/7 to respond to emergencies, but there is a call-out fee involved. 


 

A: We believe in genuine freedom of choice and want our customers to feel empowered to make decisions at their own pace. 

We choose not to follow up aggressively because we want to avoid the stereotype of a pushy salesperson. Even if this practice may potentially cost us $50,000 - $100,000 per year in missed job opportunities, we value the principle of giving customers full control over their choices when it comes to their projects. 


 A:  Whirlybirds provide basic passive ventilation, but for superior roof ventilation in Melbourne, we recommend SolarKing powered roof vents. These solar-powered units extract hot air far more efficiently than traditional whirlybirds and can be wired to run 24/7 using minimal power β€” equivalent to charging a phone. They're remote-controlled for full user control and help regulate your roof’s temperature year-round. 


 A:  Absolutely. We offer complete gutter replacement services throughout Melbourne including fascia cover installation, scotia replacements, and the removal of old rusted or leaking gutters. We also install gutter guards to help prevent future blockages and water overflow issues.


 A:  Yes, we repair roofs year-round in Melbourne. However, safety is our priority. We monitor weather conditions closely and schedule works accordingly. Emergency leak repairs and makesafe jobs are prioritised to prevent interior water damage, especially during storms. We always keep our clients informed of timing and weather dependencies. 


 A:   Yes, we provide detailed roof inspections throughout Melbourne, including popular suburbs such as Craigieburn, Roxburgh Park, Mernda, and Mill Park. Our inspections include photos, condition reports, and actionable recommendations. Whether you're buying, selling, or just maintaining your property, a roof inspection helps prevent costly surprises. 


 A:  The most common roof repairs in Melbourne include tile replacements, roof leak detection and patching, rebedding and repointing of ridge caps, replacing rusted valley irons, and fixing cracked or blocked gutters. Roof repairs often also involve fixing storm-damaged flashing or re-sealing areas around skylights. At JSIU Roofing, we offer expert roof repair services across Melbourne, including suburbs like Roxburgh Park, Mernda, Doreen, and Pascoe Vale.

Practical Roofing Advice for Homeowners

⚠️ IMPORTANT SAFETY DISCLAIMER

Roofing work is high-risk. Falls from heights remain one of the leading causes of serious injury and death in Australia.
The information below is provided by JSIU Roofing Pty Ltd for educational purposes only to help homeowners understand common roof issues.

🚫 We do not recommend untrained individuals access their roof.
If you choose to attempt any of the actions described, you do so entirely at your own risk.

Minimum safety requirements:

  • Always use a certified safety harness
  • Never work alone
  • Never access a wet or slippery roof

1️⃣ How do I replace a broken roof tile without removing a whole row?

The β€œKick-Up Tile Replacement” Method

You don’t need to strip an entire roof to replace one broken concrete tile.

Steps:

  • Slide the tile above the damaged tile up approximately 40–50mm to disengage the locking nibs
  • Lift the left edge of the broken tile over the adjacent tile lip
  • Carefully wiggle the damaged tile free
  • Slide the replacement tile into position
  • Ensure the rear lugs hook securely onto the timber batten
  • Pull the top tile back down to lock everything in place

βœ… Common method used by professional roofers for isolated tile damage.

2️⃣ Can I use silicone to stop a leaking concrete roof tile?

Yes β€” but only as a temporary emergency repair

If a replacement tile isn’t immediately available:

Preparation is critical:

  • Clean the crack thoroughly using a wire brush
  • Remove moss, dirt, and dust β€” silicone will not bond to contaminants

Application:

  • Use a neutral-cure, UV-rated roof silicone (e.g. Sikaflex, Fuller)
  • Push silicone into the crack and smooth over the surface

⚠️ Limitation:
This is not a permanent solution. UV exposure will eventually cause silicone to degrade.

3️⃣ Why does my roof only leak during heavy rain or strong wind?

Common hidden causes of intermittent leaks

Check valley irons:

  • Leaves and debris can block valleys, forcing water back under tiles

Check sarking (roof underlay):

  • Torn or deteriorated foil allows wind-driven rain to enter ceiling cavities

πŸ’‘ These issues often don’t leak during light rain β€” only during storms.

4️⃣ How do I find a roof leak if I can’t see damage?

The β€œHose Isolation Test”

Leaks often enter higher up the roof than where ceiling stains appear.

Method (requires two people):

  • One person inside the roof cavity with a torch
  • One person outside with a hose

Process:

  • Start wetting the roof at the lowest point near the gutter
  • Move upward in 1-metre sections
  • Pause between sections until water is observed internally

🎯 This isolates the exact point of water ingress.

5️⃣ Can I re-point roof ridge caps myself?

Yes β€” if you use flexible pointing only

Modern roof pointing products are pre-mixed and flexible.

Correct method:

  • Remove all loose or cracked cement first
  • Never apply new pointing over dirty or failing material
  • Apply a 3–5mm flexible pointing layer over bedding cement
  • Ensure full coverage around the ridge cap collar

Recommended products: Dulux Acratex, Star Point.

6️⃣ How do I temporarily fix a rusty valley iron?

Budget repair without full replacement

Suitable only for small rust holes

Method:

  • Wire-brush rust back to clean metal
  • Apply a rust converter primer
  • Seal with bitumen flashing tape or waterproof membrane coating

🚫 If rust holes exceed the size of a 50-cent coin, full valley replacement is required.

7️⃣ My chimney flashing leaks β€” do I need a plumber?

Not always

Lead flashing commonly lifts as buildings move.

Fix:

  • Carefully re-dress (tap down) the lead flashing
  • Apply a bead of grey roof silicone where lead meets brickwork

This prevents water tracking behind the flashing.

8️⃣ Is pressure washing roof tiles safe for DIY?

We strongly advise against DIY pressure washing

Risks include:

  • Forcing water under tile laps and flooding insulation
  • Extreme slip hazard
  • Stripping factory glaze from concrete tiles


9️⃣ What’s the best way to stop moss growing on roof tiles?

Soft-wash chemical treatment (recommended)

Method:

  • Apply a moss-killing solution (e.g. β€œWet & Forget” or diluted chlorine mix)
  • Apply on a dry day
  • Allow time β€” moss dies gradually and washes away naturally

βœ… Safer and more effective than pressure washing.

πŸ”Ÿ Can I glue a broken terracotta tile?

No β€” terracotta tiles must be replaced

Terracotta expands with heat and remains under tension.

  • Glued repairs almost always fail
  • Replacement is the only reliable solution

πŸ’‘ Source matching tiles from demolition or reclamation yards. Bring a sample to match the profile.

1️⃣1️⃣ How do I stop leaks around solar panel brackets?

A very common failure point

Installers often grind or drill tiles to fit brackets.

Fix:

  • Apply UV-rated silicone around the bracket penetration
  • Ensure the rubber Gasket is fully compressed
  • Inspect regularly β€” these seals degrade over time

1️⃣2️⃣ My gutter leaks at the corner β€” do I need new gutters?

Usually no

Fix:

  • Clean the internal gutter join thoroughly
  • Remove slime and residue using spirits
  • Apply gutter silicone inside the joint only

🚫 External silicone will fail under water pressure.

1️⃣3️⃣ What should I do if my ceiling is sagging from water?

Release the weight immediately

Emergency step:

  • Carefully puncture the centre of the bulge
  • Catch water in a bucket

This can prevent ceiling collapse.

Aftercare:

  • Allow full drying before repairs
  • Plaster replacement may still be required

1️⃣4️⃣ Can I paint my roof tiles with normal exterior paint?

No β€” roof tiles require specialist coatings

Roof surfaces experience extreme temperature changes.

Requirement:

  • Use a dedicated roof membrane coating
  • Designed to expand and contract without peeling

Standard exterior paint will blister and fail prematurely.
