Point Cook flues are modern steel, but a double-storey run through a roof space has joints, a flashing kit and a terminal, and each can loosen or leak. FreshDuct finds the fault with a camera, seals or replaces it, and photographs the fix from the roof.
Water mark on the ceiling near the heater flue? On a Point Cook roof that is nearly always the flashing kit, and a small job when it is caught early.
The chimney on a Point Cook home is a steel flue, not a brick stack, and it fails in its own way. Between the heater or gas log fire and the terminal there is a run of locked sections, a pass through the first-floor ceiling and roof space on a double-storey build, and a flashing kit where the flue exits a tiled or Colorbond roof. Each is a point that can move, perish or work loose.
Flashing is the usual find. The rubber boot on a Colorbond sheet perishes and splits, the plate on a tiled roof lifts or was never dressed properly, and water tracks down the outside of the flue into the ceiling below. Joints in the roof space come next: a section that was not locked or has worked loose leaks heat and smoke where nobody can see it, and a terminal that has corroded or been knocked out of true spoils the draw.
We start with a camera and photo inspection of the full run, from the appliance collar to the terminal and the roof around it, and quote only what the camera found. Sections are relocked or replaced, flashing kits resealed or swapped, terminals refitted square. Gas log fire flues are inspected the same way, with the licensed gas specialists we arrange handling anything on the appliance itself.
Flashing, joint and terminal repairs on the steel flues of Point Cook's estate homes, quoted firm after a camera and photo inspection.
Point Cook roofs are split between Colorbond and tile, and each has its own flashing kit. A perished rubber boot or a lifted tile plate is resealed or replaced to suit the roof it is on, and the terminal is checked while we are there.
A double-storey flue run has joints nobody sees. One that has parted leaks heat and smoke into the roof space, so we camera the whole run, relock or replace the section and confirm the draw before the heater is used again.
Water down the outside of a steel flue shows as a ceiling stain around the flue penetration long before it drips. Catching it at the stain stage keeps the job to a flashing kit rather than a ceiling repair as well.
Real photos from Melbourne jobs — not stock, not staged.
A camera up a Point Cook flue and a look at the roof around it shows exactly which part has failed. The quote covers that part and nothing else, with a photo of the fault attached and the price firm before any work starts.
Once the repair is done there is a photo of the resealed flashing, the relocked joint or the refitted terminal, so you can see what changed on a roof you have no reason to climb.

Almost always it is the flashing kit on the roof, not the flue itself. Water is getting past a perished boot or a lifted plate and running down the outside of the flue to the ceiling. We inspect and photograph the roof, reseal or replace the kit and check the flue run at the same time.
Yes, though not the kind a brick chimney needs. Flashing kits perish, joints work loose in a long two-storey run, and terminals corrode or get knocked out of true. Each is a small repair when caught early, and a camera inspection finds them before winter puts the flue under load.
White staining, crumbling mortar, loose or missing bricks, rust marks on the roof, water in the firebox after rain, or smoke seeping into rooms are the usual signs. A photographed inspection tells you what is cosmetic and what is not.
Yes — stainless steel liners for cracked or unlined flues on open fireplaces and wood heaters, quoted firm after a camera inspection. Gas flue work goes through the licensed gas specialists we arrange.
Often, with roof access and harness work. Taller or unstable stacks need scaffold, and we tell you before quoting rather than after.
