Roofing Alstonville & Wollongbar

In Wollongbar, NSW 2477, on the Alstonville plateau. We're a service business, so we come to you rather than working from a shopfront. Alstonville is about 4 km from our base by road and Bexhill about 15 km, and Ballina and Lismore are each around 20 minutes away.

Usually not. BlueScope recommends standard Colorbond steel for roofs more than 200 m from breaking surf, and the plateau sits well over 10 km from the beach. Ultra is only worth discussing if there's an industrial source of fumes or fallout close to the house. We'll tell you which grade suits your site when we quote.

Yes. We re-roof and repair sheds as well as houses, including long-run roof sheets, flashings, gutters and downpipes. Bigger sheds can need a crane or boom lift to land the sheets, and we plan that into the job. Tell us the shed's rough size when you call and we can talk it through before we come out to measure.

Yes. We remove the tiles, check the frame and battens, lay insulation blanket and fix new Colorbond sheets, flashings and gutters. The finished roof is far lighter than tiles and there's no ridge pointing to maintain, which suits the plateau's older brick and tile homes. The quote itemises each step, including any batten repairs.

Mostly leaf litter from big trees, plus red soil and dust washed off the roof. Blocked gutters overflow in heavy rain and hold wet debris against the metal. Mesh gutter guards cut down how often they need clearing on leafy blocks, and if the gutters are rusted or undersized, replacing them is the lasting fix.

Yes. We cover the farms and rural roads between Alstonville, Wollongbar and Bexhill as well as the town streets. Long driveways and sloping blocks are normal up here. When you call, tell us about access for scaffold and any crane, and we will plan the quote around it.

Yes. Our plateau work includes a residential apartment building in Alstonville in 2023, alongside houses, new builds and sheds. Bigger buildings need more planning for access, scaffold and sometimes a crane. Re-cladding an apartment building is not exempt development under the NSW Codes SEPP, so check the approval pathway with Ballina Shire Council early.

Slightly, on the Bureau of Meteorology long-term averages: about 1,822 mm a year at the Alstonville research station against about 1,782 mm at Ballina Airport, with March the wettest month at both. The bigger differences are the red soil, the trees and the exposed ridgelines, which change what a plateau roof has to handle.
