Scotia Installations
Timber doesn't last forever. The wood on your home or office is often prone to rotting, especially in Melbourne, with our extreme Australian elements. The thin timber beading on your home is called a scotia. It's responsible for holding the cement up on the gables on your home's exterior.
Rot is the most common issue property owners face with scotia. Rain, natural decay, and debris can wreak havoc on the structure of your home. Once scotia begins to rot, it puts your safety and the safety of your property at risk. The cement can fall, causing potential personal or physical damage and it leaves your residence partially exposed to the elements. If the cement is down, this also becomes an open entry point for possums, critters, and other creepy-crawlers to enter freely.

How We Do It:
We carefully remove all old gable mortar on your roof. We then replace it with cement that perfectly matches your roof.
