What we look at first in Tomago
Specify the site contact and any operating restrictions when arranging the assessment.
Industrial roof areas
Long runs need appropriate movement and drainage details.
Domestic buildings
Nearby industry does not determine the repair required on a house.
Wet site access
Current ground conditions can restrict equipment beside a building.
Council and approvals in Tomago
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.
Before finalising work involving wet site access and industrial roof areas, confirm the approved building use and relevant construction requirements for the property with Port Stephens Council or the appropriate authority. Ask a certifier how the Building Code applies to the intended changes involving industrial roof areas.
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 Tomago
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.
