The roofs in Wyee Point
On an attached or multi-level home, roof ownership and changing working heights should be established early.
To discuss roof repairs in Wyee Point, describe the symptoms and provide any available information about waterside connections.

Metal condition needs checking for the actual exposure at the building.
Council and approvals in Wyee Point
Lake Macquarie City 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.
For a proposal involving close neighbours and waterside connections, ask Lake Macquarie City Council or a certifier to clarify the relevant mapping and proposed drainage changes before materials are selected.
Large parts of Lake Macquarie sit in declared mine subsidence districts, where building work needs the approval of Subsidence Advisory NSW as well as council. Whether a re-roof triggers it depends on the work and the district.
General information about how the process works, not planning advice. Your council is the authority on your property.
What we do in Wyee Point
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.
