What we do in Wangi Wangi
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 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 Wangi Wangi
We only get down here in summer. How do we keep on top of the roof?
For roof repairs in Wangi Wangi, both access for maintenance and the condition of any gutter guard need consideration before discussing a maintenance interval.
Our place is an old fibro shack. Is it worth re-roofing?
We assess the safe handling requirements alongside whether the work would disturb them before confirming the next step before disturbance.
