The roofs in Pitnacree
A river-side address needs the roof defect and ground conditions considered without treating flood risk as a roof diagnosis.
For roof repairs in Pitnacree, let us know about different construction and any related concerns about current access.

Roof materials need identifying on the actual building.
Council and approvals in Pitnacree
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 Pitnacree
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 Pitnacree
Can we fix the urgent part now and the rest later?
For roof repairs in Pitnacree, the assessment includes whether the fault is localised and the practical access requirements when deciding whether retained roofing is serviceable.
Is it a rural job or a town job?
The assessment includes the weather during the leak and when water first appears when tracing the source of water.
We are close to the river. Does that need special materials?
Both nearby flashing junctions and changes after equipment was installed need consideration before deciding which roof components need checking.
