The roofs in Phoenix Park
If a gutter overflows, identify what it feeds and where the downpipe goes before assuming new roofing is needed.
When enquiring about roof repairs in Phoenix Park, include any concerns about several buildings so the assessment covers that area.
What we look at first in Phoenix Park
The connected system can matter as much as the visible collection point.
Roof drainage
Obstructions and damaged components require different solutions.
Catchment sizing
The area draining to an outlet matters as well as its condition.
Several buildings
Shared runoff arrangements may link otherwise separate roofs.
Council and approvals in Phoenix Park
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 Phoenix Park
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.
