Chelsea Roof Restoration & Repairs
Chelsea's charming bayside village atmosphere comes with the reality of coastal conditions—salt spray, bay winds, and humidity that take their toll on roofs. Your home deserves protection that understands these challenges.
From the iconic Chelsea Beach foreshore to the established streets around Chelsea station, we've been protecting local roofs for over 15 years with products and techniques designed for bayside conditions.
Why Chelsea Roofs Need Bayside Protection
Chelsea is one of Melbourne's beloved bayside suburbs, known for its beach, village atmosphere, and tight-knit community. But that beautiful bay location means constant exposure to salt air, strong westerly winds, and high humidity that rapidly deteriorate roofs treated with standard materials.
🌊 Coastal Conditions
Chelsea homes face specific challenges:
- •Salt spray from Port Phillip Bay
- •Westerly winds driving moisture into roof spaces
- •Higher humidity promoting moss and lichen
- •UV reflection from water accelerating fading
🏠 Chelsea Housing
Chelsea has diverse housing stock:
- •1960s-70s brick homes with concrete tiles
- •Art Deco properties with character rooflines
- •Weatherboard cottages with metal roofs
- •Modern townhouses with Colorbond

Quality Workmanship, Guaranteed
We're 100 metres from the beach and our roof cops a beating from the salt air. We'd had it painted twice before and it never lasted. Mike explained why and used proper coastal-rated products. It's been 4 years and still looks great—best result we've had.

Chelsea Roofing FAQs
Common questions from Chelsea homeowners
How much does roof restoration cost in Chelsea?
Chelsea roof restoration typically costs $3,500-$8,500 depending on roof size, type, and condition. Homes closer to the beach require salt-resistant coatings for longer-lasting protection. We provide free detailed quotes—call Mike on 0437 641 027 for an accurate assessment of your Chelsea property.
Does living near Chelsea Beach affect my roof?
Yes. Chelsea's location directly on Port Phillip Bay means homes—especially those along Thames Promenade and near the foreshore—experience salt spray, higher humidity, and coastal winds. Standard coatings fail faster in these conditions. We use marine-grade products rated for coastal exposure on all Chelsea beachside properties.
What types of roofs are common in Chelsea?
Chelsea has a mix of housing from different eras. You'll find 1960s-70s brick homes with concrete tiles, older weatherboard cottages, Art Deco properties, and newer townhouses. We work on all roof types—tile, metal, and Colorbond—and understand the specific needs of each style found in Chelsea.

We provide complete roofing services across Chelsea including full roof restoration, tile repairs and replacement, roof painting with coastal-grade coatings, ridge capping restoration, gutter services, metal roof repairs, and emergency storm damage repairs. We service all of Chelsea from the beach to Chelsea Heights.

Most Chelsea roof restorations take 3-4 days. Day 1: High-pressure cleaning and assessment. Day 2: All repairs including tiles, pointing, and flashings. Days 3-4: Primer and two coats of premium coating. Larger homes or those needing extensive repairs may take longer. Weather dependent.
