The roofs in Warabrook
A newer home near reserve land may have roof-mounted equipment added after its original construction.
An enquiry about roof repairs in Warabrook should identify the building and include any relevant information about sheltered drainage or penetrations.
What we look at first in Warabrook
An otherwise serviceable covering can still leak around a new penetration.
Penetrations
Vents and mounts need compatible flashing (a shaped metal piece keeping rain out at a roof joint or opening) at the covering.
Later work
Installation dates can help trace when a new leak began.
Sheltered drainage
Deposits and damp need assessment at the affected roof area.
Council and approvals in Warabrook
The scope associated with penetrations and later work should be clear before you seek advice from City of Newcastle about any heritage or conservation requirements and the ownership and authority for shared roof work.
General information about how the process works, not planning advice. Your council is the authority on your property.
What we do in Warabrook
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.
