Roof repairs and restoration in Booval
Booval sits on Brisbane Road about 3 km east of the Ipswich CBD, with homes on either side of the Booval Fair shopping centre. By 1915 it was largely home to miners, many of Welsh origin.
Older cottages sit alongside later homes and businesses, so we see a real mix of roof ages and materials.
Roof Restoration Ipswich provides free quotes in Booval and nearby Silkstone, Newtown and East Ipswich. We are available Monday to Saturday, 8am to 5pm, on (07) 3732 7086.

What Booval roofs usually need
These are the roof problems we find most often on older Booval homes.
Keeping the character
On character homes we aim to repair in a way that suits the original roof, rather than defaulting to a new one.
Verandah roofs
Verandah roofs often sit at a lower pitch than the main roof, so water moves slowly and rust starts sooner.
Box gutters
Older homes sometimes have box gutters hidden behind parapets, which rust and overflow straight into the house.
A note on older homes
Homes built in Queensland before 1990 may contain asbestos in materials such as fibro sheeting. If your home is older, let us know when you book, so the job can be planned safely.
What we recommend
If the problem is in one spot, we repair it and leave sound material alone. If wear has spread across the whole roof, a restoration renews it in one job, and major works carry our 10-year warranty on workmanship and materials.
