The roofs in Kooragang
Large industrial roofing needs a site contact and access requirements established before the work scope is finalised.
When enquiring about roof repairs in Kooragang, include any concerns about internal drainage so the assessment covers that area.
What we look at first in Kooragang
The inspection needs a nominated contact who understands the operating constraints.
Corroded connections
Cut edges and fasteners need assessment across the affected area.
Long sheet movement
Temperature changes can stress joints and supports on extended runs.
Internal drainage
Roof catchments and overflow routes require consideration at building scale.
Council and approvals in Kooragang
If the work goes beyond a repair involving corroded connections and long sheet movement, check the approved building use and relevant construction requirements for the actual address with City of Newcastle or a certifier.

What we do in Kooragang
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.

Common questions about roof repairs in Kooragang
Can corroded roof screws be replaced without re-sheeting?
For roof repairs in Kooragang, we assess the surrounding sheet condition alongside the condition of the fixing holes before deciding whether tightening alone is appropriate.
Do you work on port and terminal buildings?
The assessment includes areas requiring temporary separation and the extent of roof opening required when assessing whether operations can continue nearby.
How bad is corrosion on the island?
Assess corrosion at the building rather than assigning one condition to the whole island. The inspection should establish whether damage is confined to connections or also affects the sheeting.
