Whirlybird Installation · Eynesbury
Eynesbury's newer estate homes vary in whether they were built with adequate roof ventilation, and the suburb's open, sun-exposed setting near the grasslands reserve means roof cavities here can run hot in summer regardless of the home's age. A whirlybird uses wind and rising heat to continuously draw hot air out of the cavity, cutting ceiling heat load in the house below. It's a straightforward retrofit that works well on the concrete tile and Colorbond common across Eynesbury's estate streets.
Eynesbury's open, exposed master-planned setting near Melton means roof cavities here often run hotter in summer than a shaded established suburb, making ventilation a practical upgrade even on newer homes.
Local roof weather
Eynesbury sees around ~7 days above 35°C a year, and on those days an unventilated roof cavity turns into a heat store right above your ceilings.

The process
We look at roof size, pitch and existing airflow to work out how many vents you actually need — no over-selling.
Vents go high on the roof where the hottest air collects, balanced with the eave intake so air can actually move through.
On a tiled roof we lift the tiles, cut a neat penetration, and bed the flashing so it is fully weatherproof.
The turbine is seated in the flashing collar and the tiles are reinstated over the apron, leaving a clean, leak-free finish.
Installation differs by roof: on tiled roofs we cut and flash the penetration under the tile course, while on metal roofs the vent is flashed directly into the sheeting. Both need the flashing done properly — a rushed vent install is a classic future leak.
Installations are carried out by an insured team and the workmanship is backed by a 7-Year Workmanship Guarantee and a 10-Year Dulux Acratex Material Warranty.
