The roofs in Toronto
On a steep block, the route to the lower roof may matter as much as the driveway entrance.
When enquiring about roof repairs in Toronto, include any concerns about shaded growth so the assessment covers that area.
What we look at first in Toronto
Describe steps or retaining walls that restrict the route to the work area.
Access down slopes
Stairs and retaining walls can restrict equipment movement.
Canopy above junctions
Branches may obstruct both roof access and drainage channels.
Shaded growth
Cleaning should follow a check of the covering’s condition.
Council and approvals in Toronto
For a proposal involving access down slopes and canopy above junctions, ask Lake Macquarie City Council or a certifier to clarify any applicable bushfire construction requirements before materials are selected.

What we do in Toronto
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 Toronto
Why is my Toronto roof quote higher than my friend's in Cardiff?
For roof repairs in Toronto, we assess the roof’s pitch and arrangement alongside the work excluded from the proposal before explaining the repair price.
Is gutter guard worth it here?
Both the type of debris reaching the roof and the outlet arrangement need consideration before choosing a suitable guard.
Can you clean moss off without damaging the tiles?
Both the condition beneath accumulated deposits and the covering’s material and condition need consideration before recommending cleaning or treatment.
Do you go out to Coal Point and Kilaben Bay?
Both the use beneath the roof and the type of roof involved need consideration before confirming the next step for the property.
