FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What are the signs my roof needs repairing?
Visible damage like missing screws, cracked sheets or sagging sections are common indicators. You may also notice internal water stains, mould, or ceiling discolouration after rain. In some cases, loose flashing or blocked gutters can cause leaks that appear inside the home. Even if the damage looks small, early repairs can prevent bigger (and more expensive) structural issues. A professional inspection can help confirm the cause and severity of the problem.
How long does a metal roof usually last?
A well-installed metal roof can last between 40 and 70 years, depending on the material, environment and maintenance. Harsh weather, coastal conditions and poor drainage can reduce lifespan if not managed properly. Regular cleaning and minor upkeep help extend its durability. Modern metal roofs are also often coated to resist rust, fading and corrosion. It’s worth checking your roof every few years to catch small issues before they become costly.
Can roof leaks be fixed without replacing the entire roof?
Yes — in many cases, a roof leak can be repaired without full replacement. Common causes include damaged flashing, cracked sheets, or worn-out sealant around joints and penetrations. A targeted repair can often solve the issue if the rest of the structure is sound. However, if the roof has widespread rust, sagging or age-related wear, a full replacement might be more cost-effective long term. A professional assessment will help determine the best option.
Maintenance & installs
What We Cover
We handle both new roofing installations and repair work for residential and commercial properties across the Northern Rivers.
That includes full roof replacements, metal roofing installs, flashing upgrades and storm damage repairs. Every roof is different — which is why we assess your structure, materials and environment before offering a tailored solution. If you’re renovating or building, we’ll coordinate with other trades to keep things moving smoothly. If you’ve noticed water stains, loose sheeting or roof movement, we’ll pinpoint the issue and provide a practical fix that lasts.
We also take care of roof maintenance to help you stay ahead of bigger problems. That means clearing blocked gutters, resealing flashing, checking drainage and making sure minor damage doesn’t turn into something more serious.
Whether it’s planned or urgent, we’ve got the tools, training and experience to get the job done properly.
