What we do in Catherine Hill 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.

Common questions about roof repairs in Catherine Hill Bay
Can I replace the iron on a village cottage with Colorbond?
For roof repairs in Catherine Hill Bay, we assess whether the fault is localised alongside the roof’s drainage arrangement before deciding whether retained roofing is serviceable.
Why does the village have rules the estate does not?
The assessment includes the property’s recorded heritage status and the existing roof appearance when considering a roof change.
Is the exposure as bad as the headland suburbs?
We assess the sheet profile alongside whether nearby components have moved before deciding which surrounding areas need checking.
