The roofs in Black Hill
A rural roof near bushland may need different checks from a detached shed facing open paddocks.
When enquiring about roof repairs in Black Hill, include any concerns about shed drainage so the assessment covers that area.
What we look at first in Black Hill
A sheltered house and an open-sided shed need separate exposure assessments.
Property requirements
Applicable bushfire details need confirmation for the lot.
Exposed cappings
Wind-related faults should include checking surrounding fixings.
Shed drainage
A roof with only a slight slope needs sheeting designed to drain at that angle. The inspection should check the installed sheet shape and overlaps before a leak is treated with another patch.
Council and approvals in Black Hill
For a proposal involving property requirements and exposed cappings, ask City of Newcastle or a certifier to clarify any applicable bushfire construction requirements before materials are selected. Check whether Black Hill is relevant to the lot and proposed alterations.

What we do in Black Hill
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 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.
