Malvern Roofing & Weather Profile

What We See in Malvern

Ceiling insulation condition is always assessed alongside any ventilation proposal. Where insulation has compressed or degraded significantly, the ventilation upgrade alone won't resolve the comfort issue — the two items are interdependent and need to be addressed together.

Why It Happens

The turbine bearing quality determines its rotation threshold — the minimum wind speed at which it begins to spin. Premium bearings start at around 2 km/h; cheap units require 4 to 5 km/h. In Melbourne's still summer conditions, that difference determines whether the unit is working or stationary.

How We Fix It

On tiled roofs, we remove the tile course at the installation location, cut the penetration with a hole saw, bed the flashing in a compatible flexible mastic, seat the turbine neck in the flashing collar, then replace the tile course over the flashing apron.

"Got three quotes. True Roof wasn't the cheapest but was clearly the most professional. 10-year warranty sealed the deal. 6 months later, not a single issue."
