Keep the roof ready for Tasmanian weather
Inspect visible roof components, keep gutters and downpipes clear, address loose or damaged materials and arrange assessment after severe weather or new signs of leakage.
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?
