What we look at first in Buttaba
The ground beside the roof can change the equipment required for the task.
Bushland edges
Confirm relevant requirements rather than assuming a whole suburb’s rating.
Bark accumulation
Debris can collect around flashings (shaped metal pieces that keep rain out at roof joints and openings) as well as gutters.
Higher elevations
The steepest ground may sit beneath the roof edge needing repair.
Council and approvals in Buttaba
Include bark accumulation and higher elevations in the description of the proposal when checking any heritage or conservation requirements and any applicable bushfire construction requirements with Lake Macquarie City Council or the relevant authority.

What we do in Buttaba
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.
