Bigger roofs, more places to leak

Chirnside Park is a newer suburb than the ones around it. Most of it was built from the late seventies onward, with a lot of larger family homes and double storey places.

Those homes tend to have big, cut up roofs. Lots of hips, valleys and changes of level, nearly all in cement tile. Every one of those joins is a spot where water is being steered, and where it gets in if something has shifted.

The roofs here are not old, but plenty are thirty or forty years in. That is about when the first lot of ridge pointing starts to crack and the faults start to show.

Repairs we do in Chirnside Park

  • Leaks traced on single and double storey roofs
  • Valley repairs
  • Ridge and hip capping rebedded and repointed
  • Cracked and slipped tiles replaced
  • Flashings repaired where a lower roof meets an upper wall
  • Storm damage made safe, then repaired properly

Double storey roofs

We work on single and double storey roofs, and our crews are fully insured. If the whole roof is looking faded, a roof restoration with a colour change is worth asking about while we are up there. More on repairs is on our roof repairs page.

Where Chirnside Park roofs give trouble

Big roof areas, lots of joins and cement tile that is starting to show its age.

ValleysA cut up roof has a lot of valleys carrying a lot of water. Leaves, a slipped tile or rust under the tile edge is all it takes to send that water inside.
Hip and ridge cappingMore hips means more metres of capping, all bedded in mortar. When the pointing cracks, wind gets under the caps and works them loose.
Where roofs meet wallsOn a double storey home the lower roof runs into the upper wall. The flashing along that join is a common leak point and easy to miss.
