The roofs in Taylors Beach
For a home with boat or equipment storage, identify the roof catchment and what happens to its runoff.
For roof repairs in Taylors Beach, let us know about storage roofs and any related concerns about gutter falls.
What we look at first in Taylors Beach
A downstream blockage can affect an otherwise sound gutter connection.
Gutter falls
Brackets and outlet position determine alignment independently of ground level.
Drainage lines
A blocked connection can cause water to back up at the roof.
Storage roofs
Separate sheds need their own material and access assessments.
Council and approvals in Taylors Beach
Port Stephens 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.
Coastal and foreshore mapping applies to blocks near the water here. It bears on building work rather than on re-covering a roof, so it is worth checking for anything beyond a like-for-like replacement.
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 Taylors Beach
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.
