The roofs in Fassifern
On a home with several past repairs, a transport-side address does not identify the cause of new damage.
When enquiring about roof repairs in Fassifern, include any concerns about piecemeal repairs so the assessment covers that area.
What we look at first in Fassifern
Further sealant should not hide a connection that has not been understood.
Ridge supports
Unstable caps require their underlying bedding (the mortar supporting ridge tiles) assessed.
Roof deposits
Surface grime is not sufficient evidence of failed sheets.
Piecemeal repairs
Mixed materials can obscure the original flashing (a shaped metal piece keeping rain out at a roof joint or opening) arrangement.
Council and approvals in Fassifern
The scope associated with ridge supports and roof deposits should be clear before you seek advice from Lake Macquarie City Council about the approval pathway for the full proposal and any property-specific restrictions.

What we do in Fassifern
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.
