The roofs in Millers Forest
For a farm or storage building, describe the crop or equipment beneath the roof and the runoff arrangement.
When enquiring about roof repairs in Millers Forest, include any concerns about large catchments so the assessment covers that area.
What we look at first in Millers Forest
A roof catchment should be assessed beyond its most visible gutter.
Council checks
A postal locality does not establish which authority handles alterations.
Seasonal use
The proposed work area may be occupied at particular times.
Large catchments
Outlets need assessing against the roof area feeding them.
Council and approvals in Millers Forest
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.
Include council checks and seasonal use in the description of the proposal when checking the approval pathway for the full proposal and any property-specific restrictions with Maitland City Council or the relevant authority. Where seasonal use forms part of the proposal, confirm the responsible council from the address; do not assume Port Stephens Council applies because of the postcode.
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.

What we do in Millers Forest
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.
