Common Strata Roof Problems We Solve
Strata roof repairs in Australia often involve a set of recurring issues that affect both the structure and safety of residential complexes. Our team at Five Star Roofing has spent years identifying and resolving these problems for strata managers and owners across NSW and QLD.
Chronic Roof Leaks & Water Ingress
Leaks are the leading cause of urgent strata roof repairs throughout the region. Even minor entry points, like cracked tiles or loose metal sheets, can cause water to spread far from where it infiltrates. This leads to mould, damaged ceilings, and sometimes even rot in support structures.
Our team uses precise detection methods to trace leaks and address root causes rather than just treating visible symptoms.
Gutter and Downpipe Blockages
Blocked or overflowing gutters bring on water pooling and internal damage, especially during storms. Debris like leaves or bird nests builds up quickly in shared strata buildings. We handle this with regular maintenance, system upgrades, and by installing reliable gutter guards specifically suited for large, multi-unit buildings to keep water flowing away from vulnerable roof areas.
Flashing & Roof Penetration Failures
Flashing around skylights, vents, and intersections is one of the most vulnerable parts of any strata roof. In Australia, UV and rain degrade flashing and sealants rapidly if not checked regularly.
We’ve found that much of the preventable damage comes from poorly installed or corroded flashings, so our repairs focus on durable materials and proper fit to stop leaks where they’re most likely to begin.
Roof Tile and Sheet Damage
Broken tiles on older buildings or corrosion and loose fixings on metal roofs often appear after storms or from overlooked small issues. Strata roof repairs here require more than just swapping out a few tiles or sheets.
We look at why tiles shift or become damaged, such as building movement or moss growth, and provide targeted replacement alongside preventive advice.
If your strata property faces any of these problems, Five Star Roofing is prepared to bring practical, lasting solutions based on decades of local experience. Reach out for an assessment and keep your roof performing as it should.

Maintenance Tips For Strata Roofs
Strata roof repairs in Australia require proactive, thorough maintenance to avoid costly issues and keep buildings safe. Our team at Five Star Roofing brings decades of experience working with strata managers and committees, and we understand what’s needed to stay on top of roof care.
Annual Inspections
Scheduling annual roof inspections is key. We check for cracked tiles, rusted metal, blocked vents, and hidden leaks, issues that can escalate quickly if missed. Our team knows the common weak points found across both tiled and metal strata roofs, and we provide detailed reports so you have a clear record for compliance and budgeting.
Gutter And Downpipe Cleaning
Gutters and downpipes often get overlooked, but blocked drainage is a leading cause of leaks in strata complexes. We recommend and perform professional cleaning several times a year, including after autumn and before storm season.
This simple upkeep from our strata roof repairs team can prevent water ingress and major disruptions for residents.
Roof Penetration Maintenance
Skylights, vents, and solar panels are potential leak sites if not properly maintained. Our technicians inspect all roof penetrations for deteriorated seals, rusted flashings, and loose fittings. Prompt repairs and post-installation checks ensure a watertight finish and extend the lifespan of the entire roofing system.
Thorough Documentation & Communication
We keep organised records of every inspection, maintenance task, and repair. Our process empowers committees to plan ahead and ensures compliance with legal or insurance requirements. Regular updates from our strata roof repairs specialists help everyone stay informed and minimise disruptions.

How We Work on Strata Roof Repairs
Strata roof repairs need special attention because they involve the entire building, not just one home. Here’s how our team at Five Star Roofing approaches every strata roof repair job, step by step.
Assess the Roof Thoroughly
We organise a detailed inspection of the roof, including leak checks and a review of any visible damage. Our team works with strata managers and the owners’ corporation to identify all issues, from water stains and broken tiles to worn guttering.
Explain Repair Needs Clearly
After our inspection, we report exactly what we’ve found with photos and straightforward advice. We outline repairs needed, any urgent risks, and options for repair versus replacement. This gives strata committees the clarity they need to decide, keeping everyone in the loop.
Plan With Minimal Disruption
We schedule and coordinate works so residents experience as little hassle as possible. Throughout, we maintain safety standards and provide updates, so everyone knows what’s happening from start to finish.
Start With Roof Repair & Restoration
With the plan agreed, our team gets to work repairing leaks, damaged tiles, flashings, or gutters as needed. We use proven methods and quality materials, always keeping safety a top priority for residents and our crew.
Conduct Quality Checks & Project Sign-Off
We finish by inspecting every repair to confirm durability and compliance. We then walk through the completed works with the strata representative, answer any questions, and supply a clear record for your building’s maintenance history.
