A roof that€s in good condition is important both to the visual impression your home
gives to family, friends and passers-by, but is also a sign of the health of the entire house.

It's advisable to have a roof inspection from time to time to maintain its overall
health, and to ensure there are no major issues, and none at risk of developing.

Common roofing repairs
The areas that are most often are in need of attention are
broken, cracked or missing tiles, re-bedding ridges and gables, and killing gutter rust.
The wide range of tiles commercially available in Australia should mean you'll be able to
match or almost match your existing tiles. If too many are damaged, in adverse weather
conditions, you may need to look at total replacement.
If gutter rust is too far advanced, you may need to look at replacing the guttering with
a more modern and sturdy system.
Maintenance
To lengthen its life, your roof could do with a total water pressure clean, or may need
the application of a sterilising agent or anti-fungicide.
Total roof replacement
There may come a time when you need to replace the entire roof. This could be for
several reasons.
It may be leaking badly, and is more economical to replace rather than to repair.
Alternately, you may be extending your home and want the roof to look uniform.
