The roofs in Tarro
At a lower-lying home, overflowing gutters need their own investigation rather than an assumption about the surrounding land.
To discuss roof repairs in Tarro, describe the symptoms and provide any available information about tiled cappings.
What we look at first in Tarro
The position of gutter supports determines fall independently of surrounding ground levels.
Gutter falls
Alignment is determined by the installed supports, not ground flatness.
Outlet connections
Water collecting beside footings needs its source traced.
Tiled cappings
Joint repairs require an assessment of the underlying support.
Council and approvals in Tarro
The scope associated with outlet connections and tiled cappings should be clear before you seek advice from City of Newcastle about the relevant mapping and proposed drainage changes and the assessment needed before disturbing suspected asbestos materials.
General information about how the process works, not planning advice. Your council is the authority on your property.
What we do in Tarro
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.
