Roof repairs and restoration in Tivoli
Tivoli is about 5 km by road north east of the Ipswich CBD, north of the Bremer River. It takes its name from the Tivoli coal mine, and homes grew up around the mines and irregular subdivisions of the 1860s. It is also home to one of Queensland’s last drive in cinemas.
Many homes here are older workers’ houses, with roofs that need careful repair.

What Tivoli roofs usually need
Older Tivoli homes usually need attention in these areas.
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.
Flashings at chimneys and walls
Old lead and iron flashings lift, crack or rust where the roof meets a wall, chimney or verandah. Rain then gets in at the join.
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.
Choosing the right work
Our advice is based on the roof in front of us, not a standard package. Some roofs need a repair, some need repainting and some are best restored or replaced, and we will explain the reasons.
