The roofs in Maitland Vale
For a working shed, identify the stored contents and whether the affected area can be cleared before repairs.
An enquiry about roof repairs in Maitland Vale should identify the building and include any relevant information about metal movement or leaks over storage.
What we look at first in Maitland Vale
Identify the location of stored contents before the repair sequence is agreed.
Leaks over storage
Water damage to goods helps identify the affected zone.
Open-sided structures
Fixings and supports need assessment for the building’s exposure.
Metal movement
Temperature changes can affect joints on long continuous lengths of roof sheeting.
Council and approvals in Maitland Vale
Maitland City Council is the consent authority here. Putting the same roof back in the same form is maintenance rather than development, so it does not go to them. Changing the material, the pitch or the roof line can, and that is the point to ask before anything is ordered.
The scope associated with leaks over storage and open-sided structures should be clear before you seek advice from Maitland City Council about the approval pathway for the full proposal and any property-specific restrictions.
Maitland Vale falls inside the declared Oakhampton floodplain under the Hunter Valley Flood Mitigation Scheme, which is a separate consent area from council's own planning controls.
Bushfire prone land is mapped across a great deal of this council area. Where it reaches a property it sets requirements for roof and gutter detail, ember protection at the eaves and the materials used, rather than for the covering alone.
General information about how the process works, not planning advice. Your council is the authority on your property.
What we do in Maitland Vale
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.
