The roofs in Mandalong
On a property with farm buildings, identify the contents and access route for each roof needing attention.
When enquiring about roof repairs in Mandalong, include any concerns about distances on site so the assessment covers that area.
What we look at first in Mandalong
The contents beneath a shed may determine which area can be vacated.
Working sheds
Stored machinery can affect separation below the repair area.
Mapped district details
Any Mandalong district reference needs checking against the individual lot.
Distances on site
Internal tracks may require separate arrangements between buildings.
Council and approvals in Mandalong
Lake Macquarie 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.
Include working sheds and mapped district details in the description of the proposal when checking any additional mine subsidence requirements with Lake Macquarie City Council or the relevant authority.
Large parts of Lake Macquarie sit in declared mine subsidence districts, where building work needs the approval of Subsidence Advisory NSW as well as council. Whether a re-roof triggers it depends on the work and the district.
General information about how the process works, not planning advice. Your council is the authority on your property.
What we do in Mandalong
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.
