The roofs in Little Pelican
On a low-lying home, a shallow roof and a disconnected outlet are separate issues needing distinct checks.
To discuss roof repairs in Little Pelican, describe the symptoms and provide any available information about earlier additions.
What we look at first in Little Pelican
Changing the pipe route will not correct an unsuitable roofing profile.
Exposed fixings
Metal connections need inspection even where the sheets look intact.
Gutter alignment
Ground flatness does not determine the fall fixed along the roof edges above the outside walls.
Earlier additions
Patched junctions may hide a change in roof pitch (the roof’s steepness).
Council and approvals in Little Pelican
Before finalising work involving gutter alignment and earlier additions, confirm the relevant mapping and proposed drainage changes for the property with Lake Macquarie City Council or the appropriate authority.

What we do in Little Pelican
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.
