Council and approvals in Duns Creek
Port Stephens 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 Duns Creek
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.

Common questions about roof repairs in Duns Creek
The tank is our only water. What does that change?
For roof repairs in Duns Creek, tell us how the collected water is used; the assessment includes the intended use of collected water and the scope of any tank-line changes when selecting materials for the catchment.
Should we replace the whole roof or just the worst side?
The assessment includes the extent of corrosion or tile damage and the condition of adjoining roof sections when recommending a repair scope.
The driveway is long and rough. Does that add to the cost?
Both any need for adjoining-land permission and where materials can be handled need consideration before planning safe roof access.
