What West Ipswich roofs usually need
Older West Ipswich homes usually need attention in these areas.
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.
Undersized or rusted gutters
Gutters on older homes were not always sized for the downpours Ipswich gets in summer, and many have rusted at the joins.
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.
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.

Do you work in West Ipswich?
Yes. We service West Ipswich and nearby Sadliers Crossing, Leichhardt and Churchill.
Do I need an inspection before a quote?
For most jobs we look at the roof before quoting, because the cause of a leak is not always where it shows inside. If you only want a condition check, we also offer roof inspections.
