LOCAL Full Roof Replacement
When an older roof reaches the point where ongoing repairs are no longer practical, a full replacement can provide a better long-term solution. Here’s how we generally approach a complete roof replacement from assessment through to completion.
The challenge:
Newcastle roofs deal with a lot over the years. Summer heat, heavy rain, strong winds and coastal exposure can gradually wear down roofing materials, flashings, fixings and other parts of the roof system.
On older homes, the visible roofing is often only part of the story. Once the existing roof is removed, there may be worn battens, ageing sarking, damaged timber, deteriorated flashings or areas around valleys, ridges and penetrations that need attention before the new roof can be installed.
The challenge is making sure a replacement isn’t simply a new roof laid over old problems. The existing roof needs to be properly assessed so anything underneath that could affect the new installation is identified first.
The Solution:
We start by assessing the existing roof, its overall condition and the areas that may need attention as part of the replacement.
Once the old roofing is removed, we can inspect the underlying areas and deal with anything that needs to be repaired or prepared before the new roof goes on.
From there, we install the new roofing system to suit the home, paying attention to the details that matter around flashings, ridges, valleys, roof penetrations and drainage points.
We also consider how the new roof works with the existing gutters and downpipes so rainwater has a clear path away from the property.
Our focus is on getting the whole roofing system working properly together, rather than simply making the roof look new from the street.
The Result:
The result is a fresh, properly installed roof that gives the home stronger long-term protection against Newcastle conditions.
By addressing the condition of the existing roof before installing the new one, homeowners can also move away from repeatedly repairing the same ageing areas every time another leak or problem appears.
A roof replacement can also completely change the appearance of the home, giving the roofline a cleaner, more modern finish while improving the overall weather protection of the property.
Most importantly, you’re left with a roofing system that has been approached as a complete job, with the important areas underneath, around the roof and through the drainage system taken into consideration.
