The roofs in Bolwarra Heights
A roof with several hips and changes in level may need the leak traced through more than one junction.
For roof repairs in Bolwarra Heights, let us know about hidden flashings and any related concerns about complex geometry.
What we look at first in Bolwarra Heights
A visible ceiling mark does not necessarily identify the failed junction.
Complex geometry
Ceiling staining can occur away from the original entry point.
Two-level access
Equipment positions need assessment around the affected elevation.
Hidden flashings
Connections above a lower roof may be concealed from ground view.
Council and approvals in Bolwarra Heights
Maitland 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.
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 Bolwarra Heights
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.
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.
