For roof repairs in Mount Hutton, let us know about sloping drainage and any related concerns about ridge repairs.
What we look at first in Mount Hutton
The work scope should identify where a shared connection begins and ends.
Ridge repairs
Assess supports rather than treating every cracked joint as surface wear.
Shared connections
An adjoining roof can affect the water path near the boundary.
Sloping drainage
Runoff must not simply be redirected onto lower neighbouring land.
Council and approvals in Mount Hutton
The scope associated with shared connections and sloping drainage should be clear before you seek advice from Lake Macquarie City Council about the ownership and authority for shared roof work.
General information about how the process works, not planning advice. Your council is the authority on your property.
What we do in Mount Hutton

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 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.
