Roof repairs and restoration in Rosewood
Rosewood is a country town in the Bremer Valley, about 19 km from Ipswich and 60 km south west of Brisbane. The railway arrived in 1865, the town became a shire in 1905, and coal mining at Lanefield and Westvale kept it busy for much of the twentieth century. The New Oakleigh Mine, one of the last in the area, closed in 2013.
That long history shows in John Street and Railway Street, where heritage listed buildings such as the Rosewood Courthouse and St Brigid’s Catholic Church stand among older homes. Around the town, newer houses and rural properties add sheds and larger roofs to the mix.

What Rosewood roofs usually need
Between the older town homes and the rural properties around them, these are the problems we see most.
Old iron on town homes
Older corrugated iron rusts at the laps and fixings. We treat what can be saved and replace what cannot, in a profile that suits the house.
Chimneys and flashings
Flashings around old chimneys and verandah roofs crack and lift, letting water in where the roof meets the wall.
Sheds and outbuildings
Sheds, garages and carports on larger blocks often have older metal roofs with rusted sheets and loose screws.
Exposed rooflines
Homes on open land around the town take the full force of storm wind, which can lift sheets, ridge caps and flashings.
A note on older homes
Homes built in Queensland before 1990 may contain asbestos in materials such as fibro sheeting. If your Rosewood home is older, let us know when you book.
The right fix for your roof
A targeted repair suits damage in one area. A restoration suits a roof that is tired all over, bringing repairs, cleaning and a new coating together, with a 10-year warranty on workmanship and materials for major works. For sheds where the sheets have rusted through, re-sheeting is often the better spend.
