Roofing in Modbury
Modbury grew quickly from the 1960s, and its streets are full of brick-veneer and double-brick homes with hipped concrete-tile roofs. Those roofs are now at the age where ridge capping lets go, valleys rust and the original gutters reach the end of their life, often all at once.
Modbury roofs / what we see
Hipped roofs have a lot of ridge and hip line for their size, so failing pointing shows up as several small leaks rather than one big one. Re-bedding and re-pointing the hips and ridges, combined with replacing cracked tiles, fixes most of what we're shown on roofs of this type.
The suburb rises toward the foothills on its eastern side, and homes up the slope take more weather. Gutters and downpipes from this era were often undersized for the roof area, which matters more now that summer storms deliver more rain in less time.
