The roofs in Stockton
A low-pitch coastal roof can need attention to edges and fixings while much of the covering remains serviceable.
An enquiry about roof repairs in Stockton should identify the building and include any relevant information about older sheet profiles or fastener condition.
What we look at first in Stockton
Assess the connection as well as the sheet where a leak appears near a fixing.
Fastener condition
Localised corrosion or damaged washers can create individual leaks.
Different roof faces
Assess shelter and exposure at the building itself.
Older sheet profiles
Replacement components must fit the existing roofing system.
Council and approvals in Stockton
If the work goes beyond a repair involving fastener condition and different roof faces, check the assessment needed before disturbing suspected asbestos materials for the actual address with City of Newcastle or a certifier.

What we do in Stockton
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.
