The roofs in Metford
Where homes stand close together, the space beside the affected roof may matter more than overall block size.
Include altered buildings in your enquiry about roof repairs in Metford, along with the location of the affected roof.
What we look at first in Metford
Close boundaries can change the route for delivering and removing materials.
Boundary clearance
Access equipment must fit the usable ground beside the house.
Material handling
Old roofing needs a planned route out of the work area.
Altered buildings
Similar neighbours may have different roof additions and repairs.
Council and approvals in Metford
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.
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 Metford
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 Metford
What should an enquiry explain about boundary clearance?
For roof repairs in Metford, we assess the height at the affected eaves alongside the usable ground beside the building before planning safe roof access.
Our street is narrow with cars everywhere. Where does the truck go?
We assess where materials can be handled alongside the height at the affected eaves before confirming how the work area can be reached.
Is it cheaper here because the houses are small?
The assessment includes material availability and compatibility and the damaged components when comparing roofing proposals.
