The roofs in Bonnells Bay
A freestanding house and an attached dwelling need different checks of ownership, roof junctions and access.
An enquiry about roof repairs in Bonnells Bay should identify the building and include any relevant information about garden canopy or ridge condition.
What we look at first in Bonnells Bay
Establish who controls a connected roof component before authorising changes.
Ridge condition
Inspect the supporting mortar before selecting a pointing (the flexible material sealing exposed joints around ridge tiles) repair.
Attached roofs
Connections between dwellings may involve shared components.
Garden canopy
Leaf buildup should be assessed at individual roof valleys, the drainage channels between adjoining roof faces, and outlets.
Council and approvals in Bonnells Bay
If the work goes beyond a repair involving ridge condition and attached roofs, check the ownership and authority for shared roof work for the actual address with Lake Macquarie City Council or a certifier.

What we do in Bonnells Bay
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.
