The roofs in Wickham
A retained cottage roof and a newer attached building can need different permissions, access and repair methods.
Include harbour exposure in your enquiry about roof repairs in Wickham, along with the location of the affected roof.
What we look at first in Wickham
An individual owner may not control every component at a connected roof boundary.
Previous layers
Find out what remains beneath the visible covering.
New connections
Recent construction still needs its junctions and openings where fixtures pass through the roof checked.
Harbour exposure
Metal suitability depends on the actual site and existing products.
Council and approvals in Wickham
For a proposal involving harbour exposure and previous layers, ask City of Newcastle or a certifier to clarify any heritage or conservation requirements and the ownership and authority for shared roof work before materials are selected.

What we do in Wickham
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.
