The roofs in Marks Point

What we look at first in Marks Point
Check the installed fall before treating a leak at a shallow overlap.
Fixing corrosion
Deterioration around screws may be localised rather than roof-wide.
Shallow roofing
Check profile (the shape of the tile or metal sheet) suitability before treating an overlap leak.
Outlet destinations
A downpipe should discharge through an appropriate connection for the property.
Council and approvals in Marks Point
If the work goes beyond a repair involving shallow roofing and outlet destinations, check the relevant mapping and proposed drainage changes for the actual address with Lake Macquarie City Council or a certifier.

What we do in Marks Point
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.

Common questions about roof repairs in Marks Point
Is lake water as hard on a roof as the ocean?
For roof repairs in Marks Point, the assessment includes the condition of retained fasteners and the existing roof products when specifying compatible repair components.
Our gutters rust through quickly. Is that the lake?
We assess the installed gutter fall alongside the roof area feeding the gutter before deciding which components need attention.

We assess the council named in property records alongside the full property address before seeking advice about proposed alterations.
