Roof Plumbers Sydney
Your roof and gutters are the first line of defence against Sydney’s weather, and when they fail, the water does not stay on the roof; it ends up in your ceilings, walls and insulation. Our licensed Sydney roof plumbers repair leaking roofs, gutters, downpipes and flashing, find the real source of the leak, and stop the water before it does any more damage, with a $0 call-out fee and a fixed price before we start.

Our Roof Plumbing Services in Sydney
From a single overflowing gutter to a leak you cannot trace, we cover the full range of roof plumbing across Sydney.
We find where the water is actually getting in, using leak detection where needed, then repair the flashing, gutter, valley or penetration that is causing it, before it does more damage inside.
Rusted, sagging, split or overflowing gutters repaired or replaced. Failing gutters are one of the most common causes of water damage to fascias, eaves and walls.
Blocked gutters full of leaves and debris overflow back into the roof and walls. We clear them out and check the whole line while we are up there.
Blocked, broken or poorly draining downpipes are repaired and cleared, including with a CCTV camera where the blockage is out of sight, so water actually makes it to the stormwater.
Lifted, rusted or poorly sealed flashing around chimneys, walls, skylights and roof penetrations re-sealed or replaced to keep water out at the weak points.
The internal box gutters and valleys that carry the most water are also the most likely to leak when they corrode or block. We repair, reseal and replace them.
When wind, hail, or a downpour has water coming through the ceiling, we respond fast to make it safe and watertight, then sort the permanent repair.
Your Local Roof Plumber in Sydney
A roof leak is one of those problems that is easy to put off until the next big storm makes it impossible to ignore. By then, the water has usually been getting in for a while, soaking framing and insulation out of sight. We are a Gordon-based local team that repairs roofs and gutters right across Sydney. We track down where the water is actually getting in, whether it is a rusted gutter, a failed flashing, a blocked downpipe or a leaking valley, and fix the cause, not just the stain on the ceiling.
Because the roof, gutters and stormwater all work as one system, we also clear and repair the downpipes and stormwater drains that carry the water away, and when a leak has already let water inside, our 24/7 emergency plumbers can make it safe fast. Call 0461 330 531 to book a roof inspection.
What Causes Roof Leaks in Sydney?
Across Sydney homes, roof leaks come down to a handful of repeat offenders, and our weather makes most of them worse.
Blocked or Overflowing Gutters
Leaves and debris block the gutters, so in heavy rain, the water backs up over the edge and into the roof and walls instead of draining away.
Rusted or Failing Gutters & Downpipes
Old metal gutters and downpipes rust through at the joints and base, leaking water straight down the wall and into the eaves.
Damaged or Lifted Flashing
The flashing that seals around chimneys, walls, skylights and penetrations lifts, rusts or loses its seal, and that is where a lot of leaks start.
Box Gutter & Valley Failures
Internal box gutters and valleys carry the most water and are the first to leak when they corrode, block or were undersized to begin with.
Storm & Hail Damage
High winds, hail and falling branches lift, crack or displace roofing and bend gutters, opening up new leaks after a big storm.
Age, Wear & Poor Installation
Sealants perish, fixings loosen and materials simply wear out over time, and dodgy original workmanship often shows up as a leak years later.
Signs You Have a Roof or Gutter Problem
Roof leaks usually show up inside the house long before you would ever spot them on the roof. These are the warning signs worth acting on.
The longer a roof leaks, the further the water spreads into ceilings, insulation and framing, and the bigger the repair becomes. Catching it early usually keeps it to a simple flashing or gutter fix.
- Water stains, brown patches or bubbling paint on ceilings or walls
- Dripping or dampness in the ceiling during or after rain
- A sagging or bulging section of the ceiling
- Mould or a musty, damp smell in upstairs rooms or the roof space
- Gutters that overflow, sag, or are visibly rusted and split
- Water running down exterior walls or behind the gutter line
- Damp or rotting fascia boards and eaves
- Daylight visible through the roof, or debris and leaves packed in the gutters
- Peeling paint and damp patches that get worse with every storm

How We Find & Fix Roof Leaks
A roof leak is only fixed once you have found where the water actually enters, which is often nowhere near the stain on the ceiling. Here is how we approach it.
Inspect the roof and gutters
we check the gutters, downpipes, flashings, valleys, penetrations and roof line to find the weak points.
Trace the real source
water travels along framing before it drips, so we use leak detection and a hose test where needed to pinpoint the actual entry point.
Repair the cause
the failed flashing, gutter, valley, downpipe or penetration repaired, resealed or replaced, not just the symptom inside.
Clear the drainage path
we make sure gutters, downpipes and the stormwater line carry water away properly, so the fix actually holds in the next downpour.
Test it in the wet
we test the repair, including with water where appropriate, to confirm the leak is gone before we leave.
What Does a Roof Plumber Do? Roof Plumber vs Roofer
This trips up a lot of homeowners. A roof plumber and a roofer are two different trades, and for many roof leaks, it is actually the roof plumber you need. A roof plumber is licensed to install, repair and maintain all the parts of your roof that carry water: gutters, downpipes, flashings, valleys, box gutters, rainwater heads, leaf guards and metal roof sheeting and penetrations. A huge share of roof leaks comes down to one of these: a rusted-out gutter, a lifted or failed flashing, or an overflowing box gutter, which is exactly why a licensed roof plumber is who you want to find and fix the cause.
A roofer or roof tiler works on the roof covering itself, the tiles, sheets and membrane. Where we find the problem is in the tiles or the membrane rather than the roof plumbing, we will tell you straight and point you to the right trade, rather than charging you for the wrong fix.

Real Reviews from Satisfied Clients
I really appreciated the honest advice, attention to detail, and fair pricing. I highly recommend R&G Plumbing to anyone looking for reliable, fairly priced, and professional plumbing services.
Thank you again to the entire R&G Plumbing team!
Initially, it looked like the floor would need to be dug up for a 1.5 day job$$, which we couldn’t afford. Instead, Jack kept investigating and found another access point through our neighbour’s carpark ceiling. He organised access to neighbours garage, removed the roots, and repaired the pipe at a much more affordable price. The roots were way worse than we expected.
As a young couple and first home buyers, this was our first time dealing with a plumber and we were pretty stressed since we thought it was a simple blockage but it turned out to be a complex issue. I gotta check the drainage when im purchase property in the future. Learnt my lesson!
Jeremy and Zac explained everything clearly and provided a detailed report and invoice so we can raise it with strata, as the drainage is linked to other units and may have further issues.
Really grateful for the honesty and effort. We’ve definitely found a plumber we trust and would happily connect with Jeremy’s team again.
Leaking Shower Repair Sydney FAQs
How much does it cost to repair a leaking shower in Sydney?
It depends on the cause. Clearing a gutter or resealing a flashing is a small job; replacing a run of gutter or a corroded box gutter is larger. Because there is no call-out fee and we quote a fixed price before starting, you always know the cost before any work happens, with nothing added on afterwards.
What is the difference between a roof plumber and a roofer?
A roof plumber is licensed for everything that carries water off the roof, gutters, downpipes, flashings, valleys, box gutters and rainwater heads, which is where most leaks come from. A roofer works on the tiles, sheets and membrane. Many roof leaks are actually a roof-plumbing problem, and if yours turns out to be tile or membrane-related, we will tell you and point you to the right trade.
How do you find where a roof is leaking?
Water runs along the framing before it drips, so the leak is rarely above the stain. We inspect the gutters, flashings, valleys and penetrations, and use leak detection and a controlled hose test where needed to pinpoint the actual entry point before we repair it.
Can you fix gutters and downpipes as well as the roof leak?
Yes. Gutters, downpipes and the stormwater line are roof-plumbing work, and they are often the cause of the leak in the first place. We repair, replace, clean and unblock them, and make sure the whole system drains the way it should.
Do you do emergency roof repairs after a storm?
Yes. When a storm has water coming through the ceiling, we respond fast to make it safe and watertight, then carry out the permanent repair. We can also provide a report and photos for an insurance claim where storm damage is involved.
Is a leaking roof covered by insurance?
Sudden storm damage is often covered, while leaks from wear, rust or lack of maintenance usually are not, so it comes down to your policy. We can document the cause and the repair to support a claim.
Should I install gutter guard?
If your gutters constantly clog with leaves, gutter guard can cut down the overflows and the cleaning, and it is something we can fit and advise on. It is not essential for every home, and we will give you a straight answer on whether it is worth it for yours.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. There is no charge for us to come out and assess the roof anywhere we service in Sydney. You only pay once you have approved a clear, fixed quote, and seniors and pensioners save 10% on every job.
