The roofs in Aberdare
On a narrow residential block, access beside the house can affect repairs even when the roof itself is small.
For roof repairs in Aberdare, let us know about uneven roof lines and any related concerns about side passages.
What we look at first in Aberdare
Confirm the available room before deciding how materials will reach the roof.
Side passages
Fences and carports may prevent equipment reaching the affected roof edges above the outside walls from within the property.
Material storage
Delivery space needs assessing before assuming old sheets or new tiles can be stored on site.
Uneven roof lines
Distortion needs investigation of supports and wider building movement rather than a diagnosis from the address.
Council and approvals in Aberdare
Cessnock City Council is the consent authority here. Putting the same roof back in the same form is maintenance rather than development, so it does not go to them. Changing the material, the pitch or the roof line can, and that is the point to ask before anything is ordered.
Part of Aberdare sits inside the declared Tomalpin mine subsidence district, where building work needs the approval of Subsidence Advisory NSW as well as council. Whether a re-roof triggers it depends on the work and the district.
Bushfire prone land is mapped across a great deal of this council area. Where it reaches a property it sets requirements for roof and gutter detail, ember protection at the eaves and the materials used, rather than for the covering alone.
General information about how the process works, not planning advice. Your council is the authority on your property.
What we do in Aberdare
Pressure clean, re-bed and re-point the ridge capping, replace broken tiles, then a coating system. Typically buys another 10 to 15 years out of a sound tile roof.
Learn moreSlipped and cracked tiles, failed pointing, rusted valley irons and flashing. We find what is actually causing the problem rather than patching the wet patch.
Learn moreWhen the battens or sarking have gone, a coating will not save it. We strip the old roof and re-sheet, usually to Colorbond steel.
Learn moreColorbond steel roofing, supplied and installed. Lighter than tile, quick to install, and it holds up well to the salt air along the coast.
Learn moreRoof plumbing is its own licensed trade: metal roofing, guttering, downpipes, flashing and box gutters. If water is meant to move, this is the work that moves it.
Learn moreA stain on the ceiling or a drip during last night's rain. Call us and we will come and look at it, find where the water is actually getting in, and make it safe.
