The roofs in Floraville
A sheltered roof face may need different cleaning and drainage attention from the sunnier side of the same house.
An enquiry about roof repairs in Floraville should identify the building and include any relevant information about cap joints or retained moisture.
What we look at first in Floraville
Decide what needs repair before selecting a method to improve its appearance.
Retained moisture
Check why a gutter stays wet before specifying replacement.
Treating moss on shaded tiles
Tiles beneath overhanging trees or beside taller buildings may dry slowly and develop moss. The cleaning or treatment method should follow an assessment of the tiles, including any cracks or loose pieces hidden by that growth.
Cap joints
Older pointing (the flexible material sealing exposed joints around ridge tiles) needs checking alongside the support beneath it.
Council and approvals in Floraville
Include retained moisture and surface growth in the description of the proposal when checking the relevant mapping and proposed drainage changes with Lake Macquarie City Council or the relevant authority.

What we do in Floraville
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 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.

Common questions about roof repairs in Floraville
We are near the water. Do we need the top grade of steel?
For roof repairs in Floraville, both compatibility between metals and the manufacturer’s product requirements need consideration before choosing replacement metalwork.
Our gutters seem to fail faster than they should. Why?
We assess the existing discharge connection alongside the roof area feeding the gutter before recommending drainage work.
Is moss doing damage or just looking bad?
The assessment includes the covering’s material and condition and the treatment proposed when recommending cleaning or treatment.
