Match the scope to the roof condition
A localised defect may suit repair. A weathered but serviceable roof may qualify for restoration, while widespread failure, severe corrosion or recurring problems can make replacement more appropriate.
Useful questions to ask
- What roof type and covering is present?
- Where is the likely defect rather than only the visible symptom?
- Are flashings, valleys, penetrations and drainage involved?
- Is the proposed work repair, restoration or replacement?
- Which licences or approvals apply to the scope?
- What maintenance should follow the work?
Storm preparation in Tasmania
Tasmania SES advises checking roofs for damaged tiles and roofing materials and regularly clearing gutters, downpipes and drains. Do not climb onto a wet, damaged or unsafe roof.
