Roof repairs and restoration in Sadliers Crossing
Sadliers Crossing is a small inner suburb about 1.5 km from the Ipswich CBD, named after early property owner Thomas Sadlier. The heritage listed Sadliers Crossing Railway Bridge carries the Main Line over the Bremer River to Wulkuraka, and Thomas Street station serves the suburb.
It is an established area of about 1,350 people: Blair Methodist Church opened on Burnett Street in 1901, and Blair State School in 1917. Older roofs here need repairs that respect how they were built.

What older Sadliers Crossing roofs need
These are the problems we see most on the suburb’s older homes.
Thin or brittle iron
Very old corrugated iron can wear thin. Where sheets cannot be saved, we replace them in a way that suits the look of the house.
Loose nails
Original nails lift as the roof expands and contracts. New roofing screws are often enough to stop a recurring leak.
Chimneys and flashings
Old chimneys and their flashings crack and loosen, letting water down the inside of the stack or in at the join.
Box and valley gutters
Older homes sometimes have box gutters or long valleys that rust from the inside and overflow into the house.
A note on older homes
Homes built in Queensland before 1990 may contain asbestos in materials such as fibro sheeting. Please let us know when you book if your home is older.
Keeping the character
On character homes we look for ways to repair and keep the original roof, and only suggest replacing what has to go. Where a whole roof is tired but sound, a restoration renews it, and major works carry our 10-year warranty on workmanship and materials.
