The roofs in Lambton
Mature planting beside an established house can concentrate debris on one side rather than across the whole roof.
Mention cap support when arranging roof repairs in Lambton, especially if previous work has changed that part of the building.

What we do in Lambton
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 Lambton
How often should gutters be cleared under trees like these?
For roof repairs in Lambton, we assess the installed gutter fall alongside the existing discharge connection before deciding which components need attention.
There is a big branch over my roof. Can you cut it?
The assessment includes the advice of a suitable tree professional and the agreed separation of tree work and roofing when agreeing the scope of separate tree work.
Is my house heritage listed?
The assessment includes whether original components can be retained and the relevant approval pathway when checking requirements for an older building.
