The roofs in Osterley
A precise address and building description help identify the property without relying on local landmarks alone.
An enquiry about roof repairs in Osterley should identify the building and include any relevant information about individual condition or finding the roof.
What we look at first in Osterley
Directions should lead to the affected roof, not merely the property boundary.
Finding the roof
Directions should distinguish the residence from detached structures.
Repair records
Previous work can help explain a recurring fault.
Individual condition
Property size does not establish whether the roof needs extensive repairs.
Council and approvals in Osterley
Port Stephens 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 Osterley
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.
