We replace fascias and eave sheets, fix the flashing that lets water in, and repair doors and paintwork for Moolap homes on low-density and rural living blocks. Much of Moolap is industry and wetland, and the homes sit between them.
Many of Moolap’s homes are on large blocks around an industrial estate, the saltworks and the Point Henry peninsula.
Our 4 Moolap jobs, three of them for commercial clients, include replacing a fascia with the flashing repaired to fix the cause of a leak, the gutter reinstalled and an eave sheet replaced; scraping back and repainting eaves; replacing a door with a slab door and fitting a deadlock; and painting out graffiti on two doors and clearing gutters.
Moolap’s low-density lots have a 0.4 hectare minimum, with a typical size of about 4,000 square metres, and its rural living blocks are around 1.7 hectares. The Bellarine Lakes lifestyle village holds about 270 addresses. A special building overlay for overland flooding reaches about 100 low-density homes, so outdoor works there can need a permit, and we check the address first.
The former Alcoa smelter at Point Henry closed in 2014. Council policy supports medium to higher density housing and tourism there, and housing in Moolap East once industry relocates, but Alcoa expects a redevelopment to take more than 20 years and its environmental audit is targeted for completion by December 2027. For now, the work is the homes already here.

Ordered by the work we have done in Moolap, then what big-block homes need.
Fascias, eave sheets and the flashing behind them.

Decks on large blocks, with the flood overlay checked.
Rails and access for older owners.

A call or a message. A photo of the stain, fascia or door helps.
Fascia damage usually starts with flashing or a gutter. We fix the cause.
Itemised and free, with any flood overlay step set out.
The same crew start to finish, sealed and painted.
Michael worked with our budget and we were so impressed by their diligence and workmanship. They did not cut corners but went the extra mile. So impressed we engaged them again at another property.
Prompt, great communication and a terrific job. Have used JF Maintenance for lots of work over the years and would recommend.
Beyond our expectations, and it was great to work with people who could turn our ideas into something better than we imagined. Couldn’t recommend them highly enough.
Richard Cheetham opened salt works at Moolap in 1888 on its natural salt deposits, and the saltworks are now on the Victorian Heritage Register. The former Moolap Inn on the Bellarine Highway is heritage-listed too. The state’s Moolap coastal framework plan of 2019 covers more than 1,200 hectares and 10 kilometres of coastline, but rezones nothing.
The 2021 census counted 1,825 residents with a median age of 59. Big blocks, a lifestyle village and pockets of flood control are why the work here is roof edges, doors and well-checked outdoor jobs.
