The roofs in Wallalong
For agricultural buildings, the season and use beneath the roof can affect the practical repair window.
To discuss roof repairs in Wallalong, describe the symptoms and provide any available information about large runoff areas.
What we look at first in Wallalong
Dripping beneath a cool roof may have an internal source rather than rain entry.
Seasonal occupancy
Stored crops and active operations need discussing before work overhead.
Condensation sources
Moisture near cool-room roofing may not be rain opening for a fixture passing through the roof.
Large runoff areas
Outlet capacity and discharge routes need considering together.
Council and approvals in Wallalong
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.
Include condensation sources and large runoff areas in the description of the proposal when checking the approval pathway for the full proposal and any property-specific restrictions with Port Stephens Council or the relevant authority.
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 Wallalong
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 Wallalong
Our cool room roof drips inside. Is it leaking?
For roof repairs in Wallalong, both the condition of underlay and the use of the space beneath need consideration before investigating damp in a roof space.
Can the work wait until after the season?
Tell us the seasonal dates and the consequences of waiting. A roof inspection can help distinguish work that may be planned later from an active leak needing earlier attention.
Do you do growing sheds and packing buildings?
Describe the building, its use and the roof concern when contacting us. Equipment, crops or stored produce below the repair area need considering before the work is agreed.
