What we do in Tighes Hill
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.

Common questions about roof repairs in Tighes Hill
There is no room out the front. Where do you work from?
For roof repairs in Tighes Hill, the assessment includes the height at the affected eaves and any need for adjoining-land permission when selecting an access arrangement.
Can I keep the original iron look?
We assess whether water is travelling from another roof area alongside the roof layout above the affected room before tracing the source of water.
Is drainage an issue here like it is in Islington?
Both the installed gutter fall and evidence of standing water need consideration before deciding which components need attention.
