On a quieter property, a roof leak may first appear as a mark noticed during a later visit.
For roof repairs in Sunshine, let us know about older cap joints and any related concerns about valley litter.
What we look at first in Sunshine
Photos taken at different visits can help establish how a symptom developed.
Valley litter
Accumulated debris can restrict drainage between adjoining roof slopes.
Recorded symptoms
Photos and dates help explain when damage was first observed.
Older cap joints
Condition beneath the pointing (the flexible material sealing exposed joints around ridge tiles) determines the appropriate ridge repair.
Council and approvals in Sunshine
For a proposal involving recorded symptoms and older cap joints, ask Lake Macquarie City Council or a certifier to clarify the approval pathway for the full proposal and any property-specific restrictions before materials are selected.

What we do in Sunshine
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.
