What Coalfalls roofs usually need
Older Coalfalls homes usually need attention in these areas.
Mixed materials
Extensions added over the years often have different roof materials, and the joins between them are a common leak point.
Rust on older metal roofs
Corrugated metal usually rusts first at the laps, around fixings and along the lower edges. Surface rust can be treated and coated; sheets rusted through need replacing.
Loose nails and fixings
Original nails work loose as the roof heats and cools, and each one becomes a small leak. Swapping worn fixings for roofing screws often stops a leak that keeps coming back.
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.
The right fix for your roof
If sheets or tiles are sound, repairs and a fresh coating can add years of life. If they are failing everywhere, we will say so and talk through replacement honestly.
