The roofs in Silverwater
Where a house faces the lake, the lower roof slopes may not be visible from the entrance.
Include hidden faces in your enquiry about roof repairs in Silverwater, along with the location of the affected roof.
What we look at first in Silverwater
The inspection area should extend to the side where symptoms have appeared.
Tree litter
Inspect the channels receiving runoff below overhanging branches.
Moss on sheltered roof faces
The roof face beneath nearby trees may remain damp after the open side has dried. If moss or lichen is present, check the covering below it before choosing between cleaning and repairs.
Hidden faces
Include water-facing roofing when defining the area to be inspected.
Council and approvals in Silverwater
The scope associated with hidden faces and tree litter should be clear before you seek advice from Lake Macquarie City Council about the relevant mapping and proposed drainage changes.

What we do in Silverwater
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.

What should an enquiry explain about tree litter?
For roof repairs in Silverwater, both any downstream blockage and the existing discharge connection need consideration before recommending drainage work.
Does the lake damage a roof here?
We assess the condition of retained fasteners alongside shelter around the affected slope before deciding which components need replacing.
My roof looks fine from the driveway. Should I still get it looked at?
Both side passage clearance and the usable ground beside the building need consideration before confirming how the work area can be reached.
