On a Noble Park roof the flue itself usually outlasts everything around it: the flashing lifts off the roof sheets, the cowl rusts and the section above the tiles corrodes. FreshDuct repairs the parts that have failed, photographed before and after.
Water running down the outside of the flue after rain? The flashing has pulled away from the roof, and it will not reseat itself.
Noble Park chimney repairs are almost all at the roof. The heaters were retrofitted into weatherboard and brick-veneer homes years ago, the flue was pushed up through a tin or tiled roof and sealed with a flashing, and that flashing has been baking and cooling with the roof sheets ever since. Eventually it pulls away, the sealant cracks and water gets in around the flue, which shows first as a stain on the ceiling and later as rot in the framing.
The steel does not escape either. The length of flue above the roof takes the weather on every side, and once the coating goes it rusts through, usually just above the flashing where water sits. A rusted section and a lifted flashing tend to arrive together, so we inspect and photograph the whole penetration from the roof and from inside the ceiling before deciding what needs replacing.
Where an old heater was fitted into an original brick fireplace, the masonry above it still matters: a cracked crown or open joints let water into the chimney the flue runs through. We repair the flashing, replace corroded sections, repoint or cap the old brick where it is involved, and quote firm from the photos so an agent or owners corporation can approve it without a second visit.
Flashing, corroded flue section and old-masonry repairs for Noble Park heater flues, inspected from the roof and the ceiling and quoted firm before any work.
Years of heat and weather lift a Noble Park flue flashing off the sheets it was sealed to. We replace it with a new flashing sized to the flue and the roof profile, sealed properly, rather than adding another layer of sealant over a failed one.
The section of flue sitting above the flashing is where water pools and the steel goes first. We replace that length and the terminal rather than patching, so the new flashing is sealed to sound steel.
Where a heater was fitted into a post-war brick fireplace, the chimney above still needs a sound crown and closed joints or it takes water. We repoint or cap it as part of the repair when the photos show it is letting water in.
Real photos from Melbourne jobs — not stock, not staged.
A good share of Noble Park repairs are approved by someone who is not at the property, so the inspection photos have to tell the whole story. We photograph the flashing, the rusted section and the ceiling stain, and the quote names exactly what is being replaced.
The finished repair is photographed from the roof and from inside, so the owner, the tenant and the agent all see the same new flashing sitting sealed on the sheets and the same clean steel above it.

Nearly always the flashing where the flue passes through the roof, which has lifted or cracked. We inspect it from the roof and from inside the ceiling, photograph what has failed, and replace the flashing and any rusted section beside it.
Yes. The repair is to your flue penetration only, and we arrange roof access with the managing agent or owners corporation first. The photos of the fault and the finished repair are provided so the work can be approved and recorded.
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.
